Amn, He's a good God. I 41 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 4: was talking to a girl the other day who had 42 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 4: had a breakup in her relationship, and she was so disheartened. 43 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 4: She said that she thought this relationship was on the 44 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 4: right track. She thought that it could even be headed 45 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 4: towards marriage. And then one day he came to her 46 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 4: and he said, I'm taking a job in another state. Well, 47 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 4: she was so discouraged. She thought, what's happening. When she 48 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 4: began to think about how he could leave so quickly, 49 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 4: it began to demoralize her. She thought, Wow, I'm not 50 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 4: as special as I thought I was. I guess he 51 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 4: didn't love me like I thought he loved me. She said. 52 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 4: I began to dwell on these thoughts, and I became 53 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 4: more discouraged. She said. You know, I was just really 54 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 4: just trying to make sense of it all, trying to 55 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 4: figure it all out. What happened? What did I do? 56 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 4: She said? I got to the place where I didn't 57 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 4: even want to go hardly go to work. I certainly 58 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 4: didn't want to go out with any friends. I found 59 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 4: myself just staying at home a lot. And she said, 60 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 4: one evening I turned on the television and I saw 61 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 4: your ministry. She says. As I began to listen and 62 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 4: to the messages, I began to regain a sense of 63 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 4: who I was, She said, I began to become encouraged again. 64 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 4: She said this that I thought was so good. She said, 65 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 4: I realized what I had been doing was I had 66 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 4: been so focused and so attentive to what had happened 67 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 4: to me that I wasn't understanding what was happening in me. 68 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 4: She said. I had been so hurt, I had been 69 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 4: so discredited, I felt so all along, and what was 70 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 4: happening to me was causing what was happening in me 71 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 4: to totally destroy my life. She said. I didn't want 72 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 4: to do anything, she said, and as I became encouraged, 73 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 4: she said, that discouragement left in holl Rose. She said, 74 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 4: I literally got to the place where I could look 75 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 4: myself in the mirror and like myself again. She said, little, 76 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 4: my little. She said. I'd get up in the morning 77 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 4: and I would look in the mirror and she would say, 78 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 4: you are beautiful, you are talented, you are valuable. She said, 79 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 4: I begin to have this fun person come back into 80 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 4: my life, the person I really was, And she said, 81 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 4: I got so excited. I got it. I got encouraged 82 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 4: to get up in the morning and look at myself 83 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,559 Speaker 4: and tell myself how well I was doing. You see, 84 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 4: I love that, She added this, and I can't leave 85 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 4: this out. She said, and I would say to myself, 86 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 4: God is going to bring the right person across my 87 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 4: path because I'm in the palm of his hand. I 88 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 4: love the fact that she did something about her discouragement. 89 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 4: She made a choice, She took what she received on 90 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 4: the inside, the encouragement she got from the ministry, and 91 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,799 Speaker 4: she began to encourage herself. It says in Exodus six 92 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 4: that when Moses was going to leave the children of 93 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 4: Israel out of captivity, which God had promised would happen, 94 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 4: when he went to them to tell them that this 95 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 4: was their time, This was the moment that God was 96 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,119 Speaker 4: going to cause them to leave this burden of this joke, 97 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 4: this bondage that they had been under. The scripture says this. 98 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 4: It says that they were too discouraged to believe. They 99 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 4: had been under so much discouragement that they couldn't even 100 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 4: believe that what God could do for them. You know, 101 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 4: that's a sad statement, too discouraged to believe. But I'll 102 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 4: tell you what it shows me. It shows me the 103 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 4: power of discouragement in our life. It shows me that 104 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 4: when we become discouraged, we can't even get the faith 105 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 4: to believe that God can take us to the places 106 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 4: we need to go to take us over a challenge 107 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 4: through an obstacle. You see, discouragement is heaped on us 108 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 4: and we can't see. You know, it's very interesting because 109 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 4: the young girl that I talked about, when she began 110 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 4: to encourage herself, when she began to take this encouragement 111 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 4: that she had on the inside and encourage herself. You know, 112 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 4: nothing had changed on the outside. That man didn't come 113 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 4: back to her life, but everything had changed on the inside. 114 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 4: And when hope rises in your heart, faith causes you 115 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 4: to act. Faith causes you to move forward. The scripture 116 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 4: tells us that David, the mighty Man of God, who 117 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:46,679 Speaker 4: faced challenge after challenge, learned this secret. He encouraged himself 118 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 4: in the Lord. You see, David had a warrior's mentality. 119 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 4: He took this place inside of him that he had 120 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 4: built up, this place where he had encouraged himself in 121 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 4: the things of God. He was able to take that 122 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 4: war chest and encourage himself on the things on the outside. 123 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 4: He was able to look at the face of discouragement 124 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 4: and say, no, my God can supply all of my needs. 125 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 4: My God can get me through this. You see, at 126 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 4: one point in David's life, everybody had turned against him. 127 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 4: Even the men that were fighting battles with him were 128 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 4: so down and discouraged that they turned to David and 129 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 4: they said, we want to stone you. They were looking 130 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 4: for someone to blame for the difficulties that they were facing. 131 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 4: David had no one around him that could encourage him, 132 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 4: yet he encouraged himself in the Lord his God. You know, 133 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 4: it's great when your family is there to encourage you, 134 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 4: when your friends are there to encourage you. But what 135 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 4: happens when no one's there to encourage you? You know 136 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 4: what I believe. I believe we shouldn't depend on other 137 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 4: people to encourage us. I believe our main source of 138 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 4: encouragement should come right from the inside of us. See. 139 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 4: I can't even imagine my husband trying to encourage me 140 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 4: every time I'm discouraged. You know what if I went 141 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 4: to Joel every time that I was discouraged, he'd probably 142 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 4: lock himself in a closet and not come out. You See, 143 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 4: we've got to learn to encourage ourself every day. We've 144 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 4: got to remember what God has done in our life. 145 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 4: We have to understand that we have to get in 146 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 4: agreement with God. See, you are made in the image 147 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 4: of Almighty God. God created you, and he made you. 148 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 4: And if you believe that about your life, then when 149 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 4: you criticize yourself, you might as well be criticizing your creator, 150 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 4: the one who made you. 151 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 3: You. 152 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 4: See, if you can criticize his creation, then what you're 153 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 4: doing is criticizing the Creator because he made you, He 154 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 4: formed you, he fashioned you just the way you should be. See, 155 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 4: when you encourage yourself, what you're doing is you're saying, 156 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 4: thank you God for who you made me to be. 157 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 4: Thank you God that you may need to be more 158 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 4: than a conquer in Christ Jesus, but I'm an overcomer 159 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 4: because you've backed me up, because I have your word 160 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 4: in me. See it's so easy sometimes to see the 161 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 4: good qualities in other people yet ignore the good qualities 162 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 4: in ourself. But I believe that we need to see 163 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 4: the good things in ourself, and we need to applaud 164 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 4: even the smallest accomplishments. You know, maybe you feel like 165 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 4: you're a procrastinator and there's been a project that you've 166 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 4: been putting off. Well, when you begin to start that project, 167 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 4: even if you don't finish it, applaud yourself you know, 168 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 4: what about that diet you've been trying to stay on. Listen, 169 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 4: when you have a good day, applaud yourself. What about 170 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 4: the addiction that you're overcoming When you see yourself trying listen, 171 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,599 Speaker 4: cry in your own efforts with the success, applaud yourself. 172 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 4: You see, we've got to learn to applaud even the 173 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 4: smallest accomplishments in our life. When we applaud ourself, you 174 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 4: know what we're doing. We're not being boastful, we're not 175 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 4: being egotistical and prideful. We're building confidence and faith in ourself. 176 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 4: Too often we see what we're doing wrong and not 177 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 4: what we're doing right. We see all the times we 178 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 4: blew it. But I want to tell you something. Don't 179 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 4: go around looking at all the times you blew it. 180 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 4: Applaud yourself for all the things you've done well by 181 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 4: yourself some flowers. Celebrate yourself. If you've been made in 182 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 4: the image of God, You've got to understand when you 183 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 4: celebrate yourself, you're celebrating God on the inside of you. See, 184 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 4: it's so important that we do this. You know, life 185 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 4: doesn't always turn out the way we planned. And maybe 186 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 4: today you can say, well, not everything has gone my way. 187 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 4: But can I encourage you with this? You're still here, 188 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 4: You're still full of purpose, You're still full of value. 189 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 4: You you can still get to where God wants you 190 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 4: to be. You can't live negative and expect to have 191 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 4: a positive life. You can't dwell on everything that you 192 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 4: can't do and expect to go out with strength and 193 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 4: courage to do it. You see, we're all in the process. 194 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 4: That is the truth. Every one of us in here 195 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 4: is in a certain area of our life in process 196 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 4: to the coming, and it's up to us to stay 197 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 4: encouraged along the way. I'll never forget the time we 198 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 4: were in another state and my husband was on a 199 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 4: book tour and we had done an interview with this journalist, 200 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 4: and I'll never forget he got in the car. We 201 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 4: all piled in the car, and he sat there for 202 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 4: a second and he said, you know what, I did 203 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 4: a good job, he said, I did everything that I 204 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 4: knew to do. I said what I knew to say, 205 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 4: he said, And I just feel good about what I 206 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 4: did today. I did the very best that I could. 207 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 4: And we had a friend with us, and a little 208 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 4: later he said, Chuel, you know when you affirmed yourself. 209 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 4: After that important interview, he said, it reminded me of 210 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 4: how negative I am towards my own self. He said, 211 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 4: I thought about, what if that was me that just 212 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 4: came out of that interview. He said, I would have 213 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 4: probably had a mindful of doubt. I would have probably 214 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 4: thought I didn't say the right thing and I didn't 215 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 4: do the right thing. But when you had the boldness 216 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 4: and the courage to affirm yourself, he said, it was 217 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 4: such a freedom for me. It made me realize that 218 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 4: I can affirm myself. Because See, the truth is, we 219 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 4: can only do the best that we can do today. 220 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 4: And if we'll do the best we can do today, 221 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 4: whether it was the best or not, we'll be more 222 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 4: equipped to do better tomorrow. You See, my husband is 223 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 4: one of the greatest encouragers that I think I've ever seen. 224 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 4: He's encouraged people all over the world, and I believe 225 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 4: one of the greatest secrets to his encouragement is the 226 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 4: fact that he knows how to encourage himself. He practices 227 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 4: finding the best in himself. See, when you're full of 228 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 4: good things, it's interesting how you see through that lens 229 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 4: of good things, then you're able to see the best 230 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 4: in others to affirm and encourage other people. So you 231 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 4: can't give away what you don't have. If you've got 232 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 4: a full tank, then you can give encouragement and love 233 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 4: to one another. Listen, I believe I'm looking at people 234 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 4: who have decided they're going to practice looking in the 235 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 4: mirror and deciding who they really are. I believe I'm 236 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 4: looking at people who are gonna affirm themselves. They're going 237 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 4: to watch the negative talk and the negative thoughts that 238 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 4: are going on in their mind. And I believe that 239 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 4: as we get up every day and we say who 240 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 4: God says we are, and we reflect the image of 241 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 4: Almighty God, that we'll be able to go out and 242 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 4: be encouragers everywhere we go.
