But thanks so 11 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: much for tuning in, and thank you again for coming 12 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 2: out today. I like to start with something funny and 13 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: I heard about this mother. One Sunday morning, she went 14 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 2: into her son's room and said, son, wake up, it's 15 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 2: time to go to church. He said, no, Mom, I'm 16 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 2: not going to church today. She said why not? He said, 17 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: I'll give you two good reasons. Number one, I don't 18 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 2: like the people, and number two, they don't like me. 19 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: She said, all right, I'll give you two better reasons 20 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 2: why you should go. Number one, you're forty nine years old, 21 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: and number two, you're the pastor. Hold up your bible. 22 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 23 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 2: I am what it says. 24 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: I am. 25 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do 26 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be 27 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 28 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 29 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 30 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: to talk to you today about knowing who you are. 31 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: It's easy to go through life thinking that we're average. 32 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: We're ordinary. 33 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: There's nothing special about me. I'm just one of the 34 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 2: six billion people on earth. Now, when God created you, 35 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: he put a part of himself in you. You could 36 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: say you have the DNA of Almighty God. You are 37 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: destined to do great things, destined to leave your mark 38 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: on this generation. The truth is, there is nothing average 39 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: about you. But too many times we don't realize who 40 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: we are. We focus on our weaknesses, what we don't have, 41 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: the mistakes we've made, the family we come from. We 42 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: end up settling for mediocrity when we were created for greatness. 43 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: If you're going to break out of average every day, 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 2: you need to remind yourself. I have the DNA of 45 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: the most tih God. Greatness is in my genes. I 46 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: come from a bloodline of champions. I grew up watching 47 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 2: Archie Manning play football. He's a great quarterback, incredibly talented. 48 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: Now two of his sons, Peyton and Eli, are both 49 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: great quarterbacks as well. 50 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: How could that be? 51 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: Out of the millions of young men that play football, 52 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: how can these two stand out. It's not a coincidence. 53 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: It's in their blood. They have their father's DNA. That's 54 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: in the natural. Switch over to the spiritual. Your heavenly 55 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: father spoke worlds into existence. 56 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: He flung stars. 57 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 2: In space, he painted every sunrise, he designed every flower. 58 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: He made man out of dust and breathe life into him. 59 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: Now here's the key. He's not just. 60 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 2: The creator of the universe. He's not just the all 61 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: powerful God. He's your heavenly father. You have his DNA. 62 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: Imagine what you can do when you realize who you are. 63 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,119 Speaker 2: You won't go around intimidated, insecure, thinking I'm lacking, I'm 64 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: not that talented. I come from the wrong family. No, 65 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: you come from the right family. Your father created it all. 66 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: When you know who you are, it changes your thinking 67 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: from I'm unlucky, I never get any good breaks to 68 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: I have the favor of God. 69 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: Blessings are chasing me down from. 70 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: This obstacle's too big, I'll never overcome it. To I 71 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: can do all things through Christ. From I'm an average student. 72 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 2: All I can make or see to I'm an a student. 73 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: I have the mind of Christ. 74 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: From. 75 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: I don't have a good personality. I'm not that attractive to. 76 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 77 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: I am one of a kind. When you know who 78 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: you are, you'll start thinking. 79 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: Like a winner, talking like a winner, carrying yourself like 80 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: you were a winner. There used to be a billboard 81 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 2: that asked the question who's the father? It was advertising 82 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 2: DNA testing, And they can take a child's DNA and 83 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 2: test another person's DNA and see. 84 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: If it matches. 85 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: If it does, it proves those two people are scientifically related. 86 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: Out of the billions of people on Earth, the chances 87 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: of your DNA matching someone that's not your family is 88 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: so small that it's inconceivable. When you gave your life 89 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: to Christ, the scripture talks about how. 90 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: You became a new creation. 91 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: You were born into a new family, You entered into 92 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: a new bloodline. Now imagine that somehow we could do 93 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 2: spiritual DNA testing. They took a sample DNA from your 94 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: heavenly father, then a sample DNA from you. 95 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: They ran all the tests. The good news is it would. 96 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 2: Come back a perfect match, proven beyond all doubt. You 97 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 2: are his child, you have his DNA. You come from 98 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: a royal bloodline. Now, don't you dare go around thinking 99 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: that your average I could never accomplish my dreams. 100 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: I'll never get out of debt. Are you kidding? Do 101 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: you know who your father is? 102 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: You have his DNA, He created worlds. 103 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: There's nothing too much for you. 104 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 2: You can overcome that sickness. You can run that company, 105 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: you can build, support that orphanage. You can take your 106 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: family to a new level. Quit believing those lies. You've 107 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: reached your limits. You've gone as far as you can go. No, 108 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 2: start talking to yourself like a winner. It's in your blood. 109 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: You're expected to succeed. You're expected to get well, You're 110 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 2: expected to live debt free. 111 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: Why because of who your father is. 112 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 2: See, in one sense, it's no big deal for me 113 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 2: to be up here today. My father was a minister 114 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: for over fifty years. This is all I'd seen growing up. 115 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 2: It's in my genes. It's no big deal to see 116 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: Archie Manning sons play football. Archie was a great quarterback. 117 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 2: In the same way, it's no big deal for you 118 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: to accomplish your dreams. It's no big deal for you 119 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: to live healthy and whole. It's no big deal for 120 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 2: you to lead the company in sales. Why like father, 121 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: like son, It's in your spiritual DNA. I saw a 122 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 2: documentary on these championship race horses, the kind just see 123 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,559 Speaker 2: running the Kentucky Derby. It's not a coincidence that those 124 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: horses end up the fastest horses in the world. They've 125 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 2: been carefully studied and carefully bred for generations. It can 126 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to breed a racehorse 127 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: with a champion stallion. 128 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: It's very expensive. 129 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: Before breeding, the owners will go back fifty or sixty 130 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: years and study the bloodline of a particular stallion. They'll 131 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: research his father, his grandfather, and study how long their 132 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 2: stride was, how tall their legs are, their takeoff speed, 133 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: their endurance. With all this information, they'll choose what they 134 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 2: believe to be the perfect match. They understand winners don't 135 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: just randomly happen. 136 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: It's in their DNA. 137 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 2: That's what sets these horses apart. They have generation after generation. 138 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: Of champions on the inside. 139 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: Now, when the little colt is born, his legs may 140 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 2: be wabbling, he can barely stand up. 141 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: He doesn't look different than any other colt is born. 142 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: The owners could think, oh, man, we have wasted our money. 143 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: This colt is not a thoroughbred. Look at him. 144 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: No, they're not concerned with his present weaknesses. They're not 145 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 2: worried about what color he is, how pretty he is, 146 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: or even how. 147 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: Muscular he is. 148 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 2: They are totally confident knowing that on the inside of 149 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 2: that little cold he has the blood of a champion. 150 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: That's how it is with you and me. You didn't 151 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: come from ordinary stock. 152 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: You came from the best of the best. 153 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what we look like on the outside, 154 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 2: what color we are, how tall or short, how attractive 155 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 2: or unattractive, doesn't matter how many weaknesses we have. You 156 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,599 Speaker 2: may struggle with an addiction, you may have made some mistakes. 157 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 2: What superses all of that is on the inside. You 158 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 2: have the DNA of a champion. You come from a. 159 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: Long list of winners. 160 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: You look back and study your spiritual bloodline. You'll see 161 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: your elder brother defeated the enemy. There's victory in your bloodline. 162 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 2: You'll see your ancestor Moses parted the Red Sea. There's 163 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 2: great faith in your bloodline. David, a shepherd boy, defeated 164 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: a giant. There's favor in your bloodline. Sampson pushed down 165 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: the walls of a huge building. There's supernatural strength power 166 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 2: in your bloodline. Neemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem when 167 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 2: all the odds were against him. There's increase, promotion, abundance 168 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 2: in your bloodline. A young lady named Esther stepped up 169 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 2: and saved her people from a certain death. There's courage 170 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: in your bloodline. Now, don't go around thinking I could 171 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 2: never break this addiction. I could never afford college. I'll 172 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: never see my family restored. You come from a bloodline 173 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 2: of champions. It's in your DNA. You were born to win, 174 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 2: born to overcome, born to live in victory. Listen, it 175 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 2: doesn't matter what your present circumstances look like. That addiction 176 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 2: didn't come to stay. 177 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: Freedom is in your DNA. 178 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: That sickness is not permanent. Health and wholeness is in 179 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: your DNA. That family problem, strife, division, it's not going 180 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 2: to last forever. Restoration is in your DNA. Lack struggle 181 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 2: barely getting by. That is not your destiny. Abundance, increase, opportunity, 182 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: good breaks. 183 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: That's what's in your DNA. 184 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 2: Now, when thoughts tell you that it's never going to happen, 185 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 2: just go back and check your spiritual birth certificate. Remind 186 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,599 Speaker 2: yourself who you are. That thought says you'll never accomplish 187 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 2: your dreams, you'll never get well, just say no, thanks, 188 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 2: You've got the wrong person. I've already checked my birth certificate. 189 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: I know who I am. 190 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 2: Now let me verify what's in my DNA. That's found 191 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 2: in God's word. Am I supposed to live average, lonely, struggling, 192 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 2: always getting the short end of the stick. No, it 193 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 2: says right there in Psalms, God's favor surrounds me like 194 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 2: a shield. It says, no weapon formed against me will prosper. 195 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,599 Speaker 1: It says the number. 196 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 2: Of my days he will fulfill. It says, as for 197 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 198 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: It says, I will lend and not borrow. 199 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 2: Goodness and mercy are following us, good breaks are chasing 200 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: us down. 201 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: That's what's in your DNA. 202 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 2: When thoughts tell you otherwise, don't get discouraged. Just keep 203 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 2: checking your spiritual birth certificate. Keep reminding yourself who you are. 204 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 2: My brother Paul and his beautiful wife Jennifer have a 205 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 2: son named Jackson. When Jackson was a little boy, every night, 206 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 2: when Jennifer would take him to bed, after she would 207 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 2: pray with him, she would go through this long list 208 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 2: of superheroes, telling Jackson who he was. That was her 209 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 2: way of speaking faith into him, letting him know he 210 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 2: was going to do great things. She would say, all right, Jackson, 211 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 2: let me remind you who you are. You're my Superman, 212 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: You're my Buzz light Year, you're my Power Ranger, you're 213 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: my rescue Hero, You're my Lightning McQueen. 214 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: On and on. 215 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: Little Jackson would lie there, big smile on his face, 216 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: taking it all in. One night, they got home late 217 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: and she wasn't able to go through that same routine. 218 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: She'd put him in bed in a hurry. 219 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 2: A few minutes she heard this little voice hollering out 220 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 2: of his room. 221 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 1: Mama, mama. 222 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 2: She rushed in Jackson, what's wrong? He said, Mama, you 223 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 2: forgot to tell me who I am. A lot of 224 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: people in life have never been told who they are. 225 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,599 Speaker 2: They've had negative voices playing over and over You're not talented. 226 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 2: You're not gonna ever get married. You'll never get out 227 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 2: of debt. You come from the wrong family. As long 228 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 2: as those voices are. 229 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: Playing, it will keep you from your destiny. Maybe nobody 230 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: told you who you are. Let me help you out. 231 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: You're a child of the Most High God. 232 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 2: You are strong, you are talented, you are beautiful, you 233 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: are wise, you are courageous. You have seeds of greatness. 234 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 2: You can do all things through Christ. You didn't come 235 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 2: from ordinary stock. You are thoroughbred. You have winning in 236 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 2: your dna. You are destined to do great things. That's 237 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: who Almighty God says you are. In the Old Testament, 238 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: people understood the power of the bloodline more than we 239 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 2: do today. God started the First Covenant with a Jewish 240 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: man named Abraham, and back in those days, if you 241 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 2: weren't Jewish, you didn't have a right to God's blessings 242 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 2: in favor. It was limited to one bloodline, the Jewish people. 243 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 2: In Luke thirteen, Jesus saw a woman that had been 244 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 2: bent over with the sickness for eighteen years. 245 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: He made an interesting statement. 246 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: He said, should not this woman be loose from this sickness? 247 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 2: Seeing that she is a daughter of Abraham. He was saying, 248 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: she comes from the right family. Healing is in her dna. 249 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 2: She has a right to be well. Jesus went over 250 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: and made her whole. Another place, just the opposite happened. 251 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 2: A gentile woman came up and begged Jesus to heal 252 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 2: her daughter. Jesus said, in a fact, I can't do it. 253 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: You come from the wrong family. 254 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 2: It didn't seem fair, but that's how powerful the bloodline was. 255 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: Now here's the beauty. 256 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 2: When Jesus died and rose again, he made a way 257 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 2: for all people to come to him, both Jews and Gentiles. 258 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: Galatian says, if you're in Christ, you're the seed of 259 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 2: Abraham and errors according to the promise. Now, don't go 260 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 2: through life believe in the lives that you come from 261 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 2: the wrong family. Your mother was depressed, you'll always be depressed. 262 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: Your dad was an alcoholic, you'll be an alcoholic. No, 263 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 2: you have entered into a new bloodline. If God was 264 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 2: standing before you today, he would say the same thing 265 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 2: he said to that first lady. 266 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: Should not this man. 267 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 2: Be free from this addiction, seeing that he is a 268 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: son of Abraham? Should not this woman be healthy and whole, 269 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: seeing that she is a daughter of Abraham. Friends, you 270 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 2: have a right to be blessed, to be free, to 271 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 2: be healthy, to be happy, to be whole. 272 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: It's in your DNA. Now. 273 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 2: Your natural bloodline may have some negative things in it, 274 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: but the spiritual blood line will always overpower your natural 275 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 2: blood line. The spiritual is greater than the natural. Well, Joel, 276 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: I got a lot of dysfunction in my family coming 277 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 2: against me. No, your spiritual blood line says, you can 278 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 2: overcome every obstacle. You can break that addiction, you can 279 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: beat that sickness. You can set a new level for 280 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: your family. Why you come from the right bloodline, you 281 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 2: have the DNA of a champion. Judges, Chapter six. The 282 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 2: Midianites had overtaken the people of Israel. They were making 283 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 2: their lives miserable. When the Israelites crops would come out, 284 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 2: the Midianites would go take them. 285 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: They were bigger and stronger. 286 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 2: It looked like they would eventually drive the Israelites away. 287 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: There was a man. 288 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 2: Named Gideon that was hiding in the fields afraid of 289 00:16:55,080 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 2: the Midianites. An angel appeared under him and said, mighty Hero, 290 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: the Lord is with you. I can imagine Gideon looked 291 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 2: around and thought, who's he talking about. I'm not a 292 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 2: mighty hero. Gideon wasn't strong and courageous. He was just 293 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 2: the opposite, afraid and intimidated. Yet God called him a 294 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 2: mighty hero. Like Gideon, you may feel weak, but God 295 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: calls you strong. You may feel intimidated. God calls you courageous. 296 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: You may feel inadequate. God calls you well able. You 297 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 2: may think your average, but God calls you a mighty hero. Now, 298 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 2: when you get up in the morning and the negative 299 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 2: thoughts come reminding you of what you're not telling you 300 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: of all your flaws, your weaknesses, put your shoulders back, 301 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,719 Speaker 2: hold your head up high. Dare to look in the 302 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: mirror and say, good morning, you mighty hero. Let these 303 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 2: thoughts play all through the day. I am strong, I'm courageous, 304 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 2: I have the DNA of a champion. I am who 305 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 2: God says I am. I can do what God says 306 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 2: I can do. You got to remind yourself who you are, 307 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 2: not weak, defeated. 308 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: You are a mighty hero. 309 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 2: The angel went on to say, Gideon, you are to 310 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 2: deliver God's people from the Midianites. Gideon said, how can 311 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 2: I do that? I come from the poorest family. I 312 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 2: am the least one in my father's house. What was 313 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: the problem. Gideon didn't know who he was. God had 314 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 2: just called him a mighty hero. A couple of chapters later, 315 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 2: Gideon was talking with his enemies. He asked them, what 316 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 2: did the men look like that you saw? They said, Gideon, 317 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 2: they looked like you, like a king's son. Here Gideon 318 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 2: felt like he was the least inadequate, not able to 319 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: but even his enemies said, you look like a king 320 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: king's son. If you allow the wrong thoughts to play 321 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 2: in your mind, you can have the talent, the opportunity, 322 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 2: the strength, the looks. 323 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: But like Gideon, you'll make excuses and talk yourself out 324 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: of it. 325 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: Now, I love the fact that God not only calls 326 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 2: you a mighty hero, but even the enemy sees you 327 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 2: as a king's son, a king's daughter. 328 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,239 Speaker 1: He knows who you are. Now make sure you know 329 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: who you are. 330 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 2: Carry yourself like a king, like a queen, like a 331 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 2: mighty hero. 332 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: You come from the right family. It's interesting when. 333 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 2: God called Gideon a mighty hero. Up to that point, 334 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 2: Gideon had not done anything significant. He had not parted 335 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 2: a red sea like Moses, he had not defeated a 336 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 2: giant like David. He had not brought somebody back to 337 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 2: life like the prophet Elijah. I can understand God calling 338 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 2: him that if he had done something a ma But 339 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 2: it seems like he's just ordinary, insignificant, nothing. 340 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: Special about him. 341 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 2: But God saw something in Gideon that other people did 342 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 2: not see. God saw his potential. God saw what he 343 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: could become. You may feel like your average, you may 344 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 2: think you're ordinary, but God sees the mighty hero in you. 345 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 2: God sees the dna of a champion. He sees the 346 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 2: king's son, the king's daughter. Now do yourself a favor. 347 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 2: Turn off the negative recording. This reminded you of what 348 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 2: you're not and get in agreement with God. Start seeing yourself. 349 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: As that mighty hero. 350 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 2: When God told Moses to go speak to Pharaoh and 351 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: tell him to let the people go, the first thing 352 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 2: Moses said was who am I? He was saying, God, 353 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 2: I'm ordinary. Pharaoh's the leader of a nation. He's not 354 00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 2: gonna listen to me. Moses forgot who he was. He 355 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 2: didn't see himself. 356 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: As a king's son, but as inadequate. He focused on 357 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: his weaknesses. 358 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,479 Speaker 2: His limitations started making excuses, said God, I can't go 359 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 2: talk to Pharaoh. 360 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: I stutter. 361 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 2: I've got a problem with my speech. God said, Moses, 362 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 2: who made your tongue? Who makes the death to hear? 363 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 2: Who makes the blind to see? God was saying, Moses, 364 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 2: I breathed my life into you. I put my DNA 365 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 2: on the inside. 366 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: You may feel weak. 367 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 2: Inadequate, insecure, But Moses, I don't want to hear your excuses. 368 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: Quit telling me what you're not. 369 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 2: I have the final say, and I say you're a 370 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 2: king's son. I say you're a mighty hero. I say 371 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 2: you can do all things through Christ. That's what God 372 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 2: is saying to each one of us today. I heard 373 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 2: a story about an eagle that was born in a 374 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 2: chicken coop. 375 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: And raised with a bunch of chickens. 376 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 2: For years, he paid like a chicken, balk like a chicken, 377 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 2: ate like a chicken. 378 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: That's all he'd ever seen. 379 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 2: But one day he looked up and saw an eagle 380 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 2: soaring in the sky. Something deep on the inside. 381 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: Said, that's what you were created to do. 382 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 2: His DNA was calling out to him. When he looked 383 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 2: around all of his circumstances said, you're just a chicken. 384 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: He got his courage up. He told his chicken buddies 385 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 2: that he was going to soar. 386 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: Like that eagle. 387 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 2: They laughed, like you are, they said, are you kidding? 388 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 2: You can't soar. You're just a chicken. All he had 389 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 2: ever heard was chicken. Chicken had become ingrained in his thinking, 390 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 2: but deep down, something said, this is not who I am. 391 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 2: I wasn't made to be average to live in this 392 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: limited environment. I may be in a chicken coop, but 393 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 2: I don't feel like a chicken. 394 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: I don't think like a chicken. I don't look like 395 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: a chicken. This is not my destiny. I have the 396 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: DNA of an eagle. 397 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,719 Speaker 2: He got to noticing that his wings were not like 398 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 2: the others. They were bigger, stronger, wider. He decided to 399 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 2: try to fly. He flapped them back and forth as 400 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 2: fast as he could, barely lifted off the ground, crashed 401 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 2: into the side of the chicken coop. His chicken friends laughed, 402 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 2: and we told you you're no different than us. 403 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 1: You're wasting your time. You're a chicken. He didn't let 404 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: that failure. 405 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 2: Nor what other people said, nor disappointments talk. 406 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: Him out of it. 407 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 2: Every day he kept trying being his best. 408 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: Sure enough, one. 409 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 2: Day he lifted up out of that chicken coop and 410 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 2: begin to soar way up in the sky. 411 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: With every breath, he said. 412 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 2: This is what I was created for. This is who 413 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 2: I really am. I knew I was an eagle. Some 414 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 2: of you have been in that chicken coop. 415 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: Way too long. 416 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 2: Let me tell you what you already know. You're not 417 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 2: a chicken. You're an eagle. Don't let that limited environment 418 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 2: rub off on you. Don't let how you were raised 419 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 2: or what somebody said keep you from knowing who you 420 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 2: really are. 421 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: Check your spiritual birth certificate. 422 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: You'll find you've been made in the image of Almighty God. 423 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 2: He's crowned you with favor. You have royal blood flowing 424 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 2: through your veins. You were never created to be averaged, 425 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 2: to be mediocre. 426 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: You were created to soar. 427 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 2: Abundance, opportunity, good breaks. 428 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: That's in your DNA. 429 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 2: Now get rid of a chicken mentality and start having 430 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 2: an ego mentality. I know a young lady that was 431 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 2: raised in a single parent home in government housing. Her 432 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 2: mother wasn't around much growing up. They were very poor, 433 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 2: and at sixteen years old, she got pregnant and had 434 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 2: to drop out of school. 435 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: One time. She had a big dream for her life. 436 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 2: She knew she's going to be something great, But now 437 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 2: it looked like this cycle of lack and defeat would 438 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 2: be passed to the next generation. She moved into a 439 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 2: tiny apartment to try to raise her son, but she 440 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 2: couldn't make ends meet. 441 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: She had to go on welfare. 442 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 2: She found a job at a school cafeteria, punching the 443 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 2: meal tickets. She was making minimum wage, barely making it through. 444 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 2: But something down in here said, you were made for more. 445 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 2: You're not a chicken, You're an eagle. She decided to 446 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 2: go back to school. In two years, she got her ged. 447 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 2: That was good, but she wasn't satisfied. She enrolled in college. 448 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 2: She would work during the day and go to class 449 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 2: at night. In four years, she graduated from college with honors. 450 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: She still wasn't satisfied. 451 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 2: She went back and got her master's degree. Today she's 452 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 2: the assistant principal at the same school where she used 453 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 2: to punch meal tickets. She said, I used to be 454 00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 2: on welfare, but now I'm doing fair and well. That's 455 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 2: what happens when you know who you are. Now you 456 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 2: may work around a bunch of chickens. You may live 457 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 2: by some chickens. You may have relatives that still think 458 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 2: they're chickens. You got to do like she did, draw 459 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 2: that line in the sand and say I may be 460 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 2: in a limited environment, but I am not settling here. 461 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: I know who I am. 462 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 2: I'm an eagle, I'm a King's son, I'm a mighty hero, 463 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 2: I'm a thoroughbred.

I make you my Lord and savior. 477 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 2: Friends, if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you 478 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 2: got born again, get in a good Bible based church, 479 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 2: keep God first place.

God wants to bless us, But how do 483 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 3: you move from barely enough to just enough to more 484 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 3: than enough. 485 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 2: We all face difficulties and people that are hard to 486 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 2: deal with.
