1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: Betore and I are always honored to have you on 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: the podcast. We're praying blessings in favor over you and 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: your family, and we appreciate your support and just being 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: a part of the ministry. 5 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 2: We love you know we're praying for you and we 6 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 2: believe God's best in your life. 7 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: Well, God bless you. Thanks for letting us come into 8 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: your homes, and if you're ever in our area, please 9 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: stop by and be a part of one of our services. 10 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: I promise you we'll make you feel right at home. 11 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: I like to start with something funny, and I heard 12 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: about this cat and mouse that died on the same 13 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: day and went to heaven. After a few weeks, Peter 14 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: saw the mouse and asked him how he liked it. 15 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: He said, Oh, it's great, but it's so big. I 16 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 1: wish I could get a pair of roller skates. Peter said, 17 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: no problem, got him some roller skates. A few weeks later, 18 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: Peter saw the cat and asked him how he liked it. 19 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: He said, Oh, it's fantastic. And just when I thought 20 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: it couldn't get any better, I discovered the meals on wheels. 21 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 22 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what 23 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says 24 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 1: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 25 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 26 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 27 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 28 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: about it is finished. We all have things that are 29 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: trying to hold us back. Guilt from past mistakes, temptations. 30 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: We can't seem to overcome dysfunction that's been passed down. 31 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: It's easy to learn to accept it and think that 32 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: that's who we are. But God didn't create you to 33 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: go through life weighed down by addictions, dysfunction, guilt, the past. 34 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: He created you to be free. And when Jesus hung 35 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: on the cross before he took his final breath, he 36 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: said it is finished. He wasn't just taught talking about 37 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: his life and how he had finished his purpose. He 38 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: was putting an end to all the negative things that 39 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: could keep us from our destiny. He was saying, in effect, 40 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: the guilt is finished, the depression is finished, the low 41 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: self esteem, the mediocrity, it is finished. And instead of 42 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: accepting the addiction, thinking it's the way it's always going 43 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: to be. Everybody in my family has it. You need 44 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: to announce to that addiction. It is finished. You don't 45 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: control me, you can't keep me from my destiny. The 46 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: price has been paid. I am free, I am clean, 47 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: I am whole. But as long as you accept it, 48 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: you are allowing it to stay. But when you tell 49 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: the addiction, tell the past, tell the poverty, it is finished. 50 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: This is not who I am. I am blessed, I 51 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: am prosperous, I am victorious in the unseen realm. Strongholds 52 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: are broken, chains are loosed, favor is released. Are there 53 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: things you're living with that you need to say it 54 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: is finished? Are you going around guilty, down on yourself 55 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: because of past mistakes, not expecting anything good. You need 56 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: to announce to that guilt. It is finished. I'm done 57 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: beating myself up, living condemned. God's mercy is bigger than 58 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: my mistakes. I am redeemed, I am restored, I am forgiven, 59 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: and I am excited about my future. Are you living 60 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: with a sense of shame, feeling inferior because of how 61 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: somebody treated you? They did you wrong, they walked away. 62 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: Now the accuser whispers. It's because you're not good enough, 63 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: You're not attractive enough, you don't deserve to be loved. 64 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: Announced to that shame. It is finished. I'm not living inferior, unworthy. 65 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: I know who I am. I am a child of 66 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: the most High God. I'm wearing a crown of favor. 67 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: I have royal blood flowing through my veins. No matter 68 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: what someone did or didn't do to you, it does 69 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: not change who you are. You may have had bad breaks, 70 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: gone through unfair situations. Don't have a victim mentality, have 71 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: a victor mentality. God said he would pay you back 72 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: double for the unfair things that have happened. That person 73 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: that did you wrong, they thought they were hurting you. 74 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: The truth is they were helping you. They qualified you 75 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: for double. They thought they were setting you back. In reality, 76 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: they were setting you up. Now do your part, say 77 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: to the self pity. It is finished. I'm not living discouraged, 78 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: dwelling on my disappointments, reliving my hurts. I'm letting go 79 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: of the old and I'm getting ready for the new 80 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: things God has in store. Father, Thank you. Double is 81 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: in my way. But we can all find a reason 82 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: to live negative thinking that we're at a disadvantage. My 83 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: boss overlooked me. Somebody walked out of a relationship. I'm 84 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: asking us to get rid of the excuses. It's time 85 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: to say it is finished. I'm done thinking about what 86 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: I didn't get, what didn't work out. You have to 87 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: tell the past, tell the self pity, tell the discouragement. 88 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: It is finished. As long as you justify your condition, 89 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: you're giving it permission to stay. John chapter five, Jesus 90 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: met a crippled man that had been lying by the 91 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: pool of Bethesda for thirty eight years. There were five 92 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: porches surrounding this pool, filled with sick people, and once 93 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: a year, when the angel moved the waters, the first 94 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: person to get in would be healed. Jesus said to 95 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: the crippled man, do you want to get well? It 96 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: seemed like there was an obvious answer. Everyone was at 97 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: the pool to get well, But the scripture says when 98 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: Jesus saw the man lying there, he asked, do you 99 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: want to get well? In other words, there was nothing 100 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,119 Speaker 1: in this man's actions that said he wanted to get well, 101 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: nothing in his behavior that said I'm expecting things to change. 102 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: He had his bed there by the porch, his whole 103 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: area set up. I can imagine a table, a lamp, books, pictures. 104 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: In thirty eight years, he had gotten comfortable in dysfunction. 105 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: He thought, this is my lot in life. It's never 106 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: going to get better. He was surrounded by other people 107 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: that were sick, that were blind, that were afflicted. He 108 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: gravitated to people that were just like him. Everybody was needy, 109 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: everybody was complaining, everybody was discouraged. You need to be 110 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: careful who you surround yourself with, especially in difficult times. 111 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: You may have an illness, but don't go find a 112 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: bunch of other sick people to hang around. Misery loves company. 113 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: If you struggle with an addiction, don't hang out with 114 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: people that are addicted. That's going to cause you to 115 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: get stuck. If you're depressed, don't go find five depressed friends. 116 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: So y'all can all be depressed together. Find people that 117 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: have what you want. If you're struggling in your finances, 118 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: get around blessed people, generous people, people that are well off. 119 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: If you tend to be negative and critical, don't stay 120 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: around people like that. Find people that are happy, positive, grateful. 121 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: There should be something about you that says I want 122 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: to get well. I want to be blessed. I want 123 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: to go to the next level. When Jesus asked this 124 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: man if he wanted to get well, instead of saying yes, 125 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: that's what I'm believing for that's my dream, I said, Sir, 126 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: I don't have anybody to help me get in the 127 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: water when the angel comes. Somebody always beats me in. 128 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: He was justifying his condition. I'm this way because I'm 129 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: at a disadvantage. Nobody will help me. As long as 130 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: you're making excuses for where you are, you're going to 131 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: get stuck. I'm this way, Joel, because I had a 132 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: bad childhood. I'm bitter because a business partner cheated me. 133 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: I'm negative because I have this illness. I'm asking us 134 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: to get rid of the excuses. Nothing that's happened to 135 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: you has to keep you from your destiny. If it 136 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: was going to stop your purpose, God wouldn't have allowed it. 137 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: You may not understand it, it may not be fair. 138 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: But if you will take the hand you've been dealt 139 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: and make the most of it, God will get you 140 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: to where you're supposed to be. No person can stop him, 141 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: no bad great, no addiction, no sickness. God has the 142 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: final say, tell the self pity, it is finished. Tell 143 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: the excuses it is finished. This is a new day. 144 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: God's about to do a new thing. Jesus said to 145 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: the crippled man, get up, pick up your bed, and walk. 146 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: Instantly the man was healed. He stood up and was 147 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: able to walk out of there. And what you think 148 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: is permanent looks like it's never going to change. That 149 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: addiction you've had for years, the illness, the situation in 150 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: your finances, you don't see away. But God has a 151 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: way right now. He's fighting your battles. I believe things 152 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: are changing in your favor. Breakthroughs are headed you away, 153 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: new beginnings, healing, freedom. It may look permanent, God is 154 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: saying it's only temporary. I'm about to turn it around. 155 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 1: What's interesting is this crippled man didn't have a lot 156 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: of faith. He didn't say yes, I believe I can 157 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: get well. He made excuses, Yet God, in his mercy, 158 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: healed him. Imagine how God feels when he sees you 159 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: shaking off the self pity, shaking off the excuses, saying Lord, 160 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: I believe you can turn my child around. I believe 161 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: you'll take me to the next level. I believe you'll 162 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: free me from this addiction. When you believe God will 163 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: make things happen that you couldn't make happen. Tell the excuses, 164 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: tell the doubt, tell the negative thoughts. It is finished. 165 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: It's time to put a stop to some things. This 166 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: is what my father did. He grew up very poor. 167 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: His parents were cotton farmers, and they lost everything during 168 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: the Great Depression. My father went to school with holes 169 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: in his pants, holes in his shoes. In high school 170 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: he was given the Christmas basket that went to the 171 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: poorest family. He was at a disadvanta no money, very 172 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: little education. The odds were all against him. He had 173 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: a good excuse to settle where he was and accept 174 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: a life of mediocrity. But at the age of seventeen, 175 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: my father gave his life to Christ, the first one 176 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: in his family. On the inside, he could feel seeds 177 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: of greatness rising up, seeds of increase, seeds of abundance. 178 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: On the outside, everything said you're poor, you're at a disadvantage, 179 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: you're limited, you don't have a future. But down in 180 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: his spirit he could hear God whispering, this is not 181 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: who you are. You're better than this. You can set 182 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: a new standard you were made for more. At seventeen, 183 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: he told his parents he was going to leave the 184 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: farm and become a minister. They thought he had lost 185 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: his mind. They said, John, you better stay here on 186 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: the farm with us. All you know how to do 187 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: is pick cotton. They meant well, but sometimes well meaning 188 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,119 Speaker 1: people will try to talk you out of your destiny. 189 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: If my father would have stayed in that limited environment, 190 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 1: he would have never seen the fullness of what God 191 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: had in store. You have to get away from people 192 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: that only see you for who you used to be 193 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: and not for who you're about to be, because some 194 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: people that knew you back then will try to keep 195 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: you in the same box that you grew up in. 196 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: They'll try to put limitations on you. You can't accomplish 197 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: that dream. You're not that talented. You better play it safe. 198 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: This is what happened in the scripture with David. His 199 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: family didn't see him as a giant killer as a king. 200 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: They discounted him. David's father didn't bring him in from 201 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: the shepherd's fields. When the prophet Samuel was choosing one 202 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: of his brothers as the next king, he thought, Oh, 203 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: it's just David. He's so small. He's so young, he 204 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: doesn't have the experience. But people don't determine your destiny. 205 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: What they say about you, how they try to make 206 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: you feel, cannot stop what God has ordained for your life. 207 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: You need to distance yourself from people that are always 208 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: trying to put limitations on you and talk you out 209 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: of what God put in your heart. Sometimes it's the 210 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: people that have known you the longest because they can 211 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: only see you one way. Jesus' brothers never accepted him. 212 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: He was performing all these miracles, but they didn't see 213 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: him as the Messiah. They only saw him one way 214 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: as their brother, thinking, aw, it's just Jesus, nothing special 215 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: about him. We grew up with him. Even when Jesus 216 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: begin to gain notoriety, the scripture says his brother scoffed 217 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: at him. They made fun. Yeah, right, you're the Messiah. 218 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: They tried to discount him and talk him out of 219 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: his destiny. Jesus let it go in one ear and 220 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: out the other. My father could have stayed in that 221 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: limited environment and accepted a life of poverty and life. 222 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: He could have lived with a scarcity mindset. But he 223 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: did what I'm asking us to do. He rose up 224 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: and said it is finished. This may be where I am, 225 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: but this is not who I am. As seventeen, he 226 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: took a step of faith. He had to hitchhike, but 227 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: he left the farm. He started ministering in the prisons, 228 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: in the senior citizens' homes, in the schools. God began 229 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: to promote him and open doors, and he and my 230 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: mom founded Lakewood. He pastored here for forty years. He 231 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: went on to live a blessed, abundant life. Here's my point. 232 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: My father broke the curse of poverty in our family. Now, myself, 233 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: my siblings, all of our our children are living at 234 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: a higher level because one man didn't settle for the 235 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: status quo. One man didn't say I'm at a disadvantage, 236 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: I've had bad breaks. Instead, he said, it is finished. 237 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: I'm a difference maker. I can set a new standard. 238 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: You can be that man. You can be that woman 239 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: for your family. You can put an end to negative 240 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: things that have been passed down. What you're dealing with 241 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: may not have started with you, but it can stop 242 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: with you. You need to say to the poverty, say 243 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: to the lack, it is finished. I will lend and 244 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: not borrow. Say to the addiction, the depression, the dysfunction. 245 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: It is finished. God wants you to set a new standard. 246 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: You have seeds of greatness. You are full of talent, ideas, potential. 247 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: You're not limited by where you came from. Just because 248 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: those negative things have been passed down doesn't mean they're 249 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: supposed to continue. You're the one to break the curse, 250 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: to break the poverty, to break the depression, to break 251 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: the dysfunction. You can take your family to a new level. Now, 252 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: don't talk yourself out of it. Don't let circumstances discourage you. 253 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: The odds may be against you, but the most high 254 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: God is for you. He is breathing in your direction 255 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: right now. He's going to open doors that no man 256 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: can shut. Bring talent out of you that you didn't 257 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: know you had, cause the right people to be good 258 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: to you. Opportunity is going to track you down. Good breaks, 259 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: freedom increase. You're stepping into a new level. Bondages that 260 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: have held you and your family back are being broken. 261 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: Now do your part. Have a new mindset, an abundant mentality, 262 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: a free mentality, a healthy mentality, of victorious mentality. I 263 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't be standing here if my father would have kept 264 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: that poverty mindset, that scarcity mentality, thinking I'm at a disadvantage, 265 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: I've had bad breaks. We can all come up with 266 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: an excuse to settle where we are. I'm asking us 267 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: to get rid of the excuses, anything that's holding you back. 268 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: It's time to announce to it. It is finished. This 269 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: is a new day. I'm drawing the line in the sand. 270 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 1: As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 271 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: We will live free from addictions. We will lend and 272 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: not borrow. We will be generous in help others. We 273 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: will accomplish our dreams and become everything we were created 274 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: to be. I have a friend that's very successful. His 275 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: father was a police officer. He was raised in a 276 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: middle class home. When he was eleven years old, his 277 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: father asked him to get in the car and they 278 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: were going to take a drive together. They drove for 279 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: several hours to another state. The father never told his 280 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: son where he was taking him. They came to this 281 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: very run down neighborhood, trash everywhere, nothing kept up, and 282 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: the young boy's eyes were so wide he'd never seen 283 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: anything like this. They finally pulled in to this dirt 284 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: makeshift driveway of this house that was very dilapidated, no 285 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 1: front door, the windows were broken out. It looked like 286 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: it was vacant. They walked in. There was an old 287 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: man sitting on a stool, no shirt on, hat and shaved, 288 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: looked like he was homeless. The father looked at him 289 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: and said, dad, I brought my son to see you. 290 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: The young boy couldn't believe that was his grandfather. He'd 291 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: never seen him, never heard his father talk about him. 292 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: The grandfather wouldn't look up. He didn't want to have 293 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: anything to do with his son nor his grandson. The 294 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: father put some money on the counter and said, Dad, 295 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: I love you. I just wanted to say hi. They 296 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: both walked out. The young boy said, Dad, that was 297 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: the most scared I've been in my whole life. I 298 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: never want to come back to this place. The father said, son, 299 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: that's why I brought you here, to show you. This 300 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: is where we come from, but this is not who 301 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: we are now. You may have been raised in a 302 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: limited environment. They were good people, but they didn't have 303 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: any vision. They settled for mediocrity. Like my friend, you 304 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: can set a new standard. Where you start is not important. 305 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: Where you finish is what matters. God is going to 306 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: use you to not just break a generational curse, but 307 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 1: to start a generational blessing. Where you come from is 308 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: not who you are. You are blessed, You are free, 309 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: You are talented. You are a child of the Most 310 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: High God. Abraham was in a limited environment. God told 311 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: him to leave his country, leave his family, and go 312 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: to the land that I am showing you. God was saying, Abraham, 313 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: you have to leave what's familiar, leave what you grew 314 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: up with. I'm not suggesting to abandon your family, but 315 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: I am saying to leave negative mindsets you were raised with. 316 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 1: Leave a scarcity mentality, leave limitations that people have put 317 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: on you. You have to make room for God to 318 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: increase you. Sometimes our environment is too small. If you 319 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: take an oak tree, seed and planet in a five 320 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: gallon pot, that oak tree will never become what it 321 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: was created to be, not because there's something wrong with 322 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: the tree, but because of the environment that it's in. 323 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: In the same way, there's nothing wrong with you. You 324 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: have seeds of greatness. The Most High God breeded his 325 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: life into you. Now make sure your pot is not 326 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: too small, make sure your environment is not holding you back. 327 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 1: You need to be around people that inspire you, people 328 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: that have gone further, people that are making a difference, 329 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: not just people that are settling for the status quo. 330 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: Isaiah said, enlarge the place of your tenth. Stretch forth 331 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: your curtains, lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes, make room 332 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: for God to do a new thing. Tell that limited 333 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: mindset it is finished. I'm dreaming big dreams. I'm praying 334 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: bold prayers. I'm expecting to go further than how I 335 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: was raised. When my father went to be with the Lord, 336 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: people would ask me if I thought we could keep 337 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: the church going now. I never said it arrogantly, but 338 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: I would tell them I don't think we can just 339 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: keep it going. I believe we can go further. It's 340 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: because because God is a progressive god, he wants every 341 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: generation to increase. Have a big vision. Don't settle for 342 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: what your parents had, what your relatives accomplished. You were 343 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: made for more. You can go further. You can be 344 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: the one to set the new standard. But it's easy 345 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: to talk ourselves out of our dreams. Live discouraged because 346 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: of disappointments, things we don't understand. We worked hard but 347 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: didn't get the promotion We prayed, but our loved one 348 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: didn't make it. We did our best, but the relationship 349 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: didn't work out. Life is not always fair. I can't 350 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: explain everything, but I can tell you. God said he 351 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: would take what was meant for your harm and use 352 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: it to your advantage. He said he would give you 353 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: beauty for the ashes. But I've learned you have to 354 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: let go of the ashes before you receive the beauty. 355 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: You can't hold on to the old and expect to 356 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: receive the news. The past is over and done. That's 357 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: why it's called the past. Quit dwelling on it, Quit 358 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: reliving it. You're not going to understand everything that happens. 359 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: But God has a purpose. He knows how to bring 360 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: good out of it. Keep moving forward. This is what 361 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: David did. He had a newborn baby that became very sick. 362 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: David night and day prayed and fasted for this baby. 363 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: He wouldn't eat, he wouldn't talk with anyone else. He 364 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: spent all of his time on his knees asking God 365 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: to heal his child. On the seventh day, the little 366 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: baby died. They didn't know how David would handle the news, 367 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: but when they told him, David got up off the ground, 368 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: took a shower, put on new clothes, and went to 369 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: the temple and begin to worship God. When he finished, 370 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: he went had dinner with his men. They were so amazed, 371 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 1: they said, David, when the child was living, you wept, 372 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: you refuse to eat. But now that he has died, 373 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: you've stopped your mourning and you're acting like everything's okay. 374 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: David said, when the child was alive, I asked God 375 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: to let him live. But now that he has died, 376 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: I cannot bring him back. But one day I will 377 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: go to be with him. David did everything he could. 378 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: He prayed, he fasted, he believed, but it didn't work 379 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 1: out his way. He could have lived bitter with a 380 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder, but David understood this principle. He 381 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: said to the past, it is finished. I don't understand it, 382 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: but I'm moving forward. We all have things in life 383 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: that we don't understand. It's easy to live negative with 384 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: a chip on our shoulder. But if we're going to 385 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: see the double, if we're going to see the beauty 386 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: for ashes, we have to do like David and say 387 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: to the past, say to the things you don't understand, 388 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: it is finished. I'm not going to dwell on what 389 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: didn't work out. I'm not going to try to figure 390 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: out why. I'm going to let it go and keep 391 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: moving forward. The past doesn't have to stop you. A 392 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: bad break, a loss, a disappointment. God is in control 393 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: of your life. You wouldn't be alive unless He had 394 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: something amazing up in front of you. You haven't had 395 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: too many bad breaks, you haven't made too many mistakes. 396 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: You're on the verge of seeing double You're on the 397 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: verge of beauty for ashes. Now do your part. Put 398 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: on a new attitude, wash your face, and get ready 399 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: for the new things God is about to do. Let 400 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: me declare this over you today. Receive this into your spirit. 401 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 1: The past, the hurts, the regrets, it is finished. The poverty, 402 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: the lack, the limited minds, it is finished. The addictions, 403 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: the depression, the dysfunction, the guilt, the shame, the self pity, 404 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: It is finished. This is a new day. Things that 405 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: have held you back are being broken. Right now. You're 406 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: going to step into a new level of freedom. You're 407 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: going to break generational curses and start generational blessings. You're 408 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: about to see the beauty for ashes, healing promotion breakthroughs. 409 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: They are headed your way in Jesus' name. If you 410 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 1: receive it, can you say amen? Today? I'd like to 411 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of 412 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 413 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I 414 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that 415 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get in 416 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: a good Bible based church, and keep God first place. 417 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 3: It starts with just a tiny seed. From it tender 418 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 3: bud sprout. The miracle of new life blooms and thrives. 419 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 3: But how do you experience the same miraculous and extraordinary 420 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 3: growth in your own life? 421 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes our life is limited because we're believing too small. 422 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: Faith is like a sea. When you believe all things 423 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: are possible, that's when you'll see new growth, opportunity, and healing. 424 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 2: We don't have to figure out how it's going to happen. 425 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 2: All we have to do is believe. There may not 426 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 2: be away in the natural, but our God is supernatural. 427 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: We'd like to send you this time next year believe 428 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: big journal.
