00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 4: thank you again for coming out.

30
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: And I like to start with something.

31
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 4: Funny, and of course this is not doctrinally correct, it's

32
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 4: just to make us laugh. But I heard about these

33
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: three men, a Baptist, a Catholic, and a Charismatic. They

34
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 4: died and went to heaven on the same day. Peter said,

35
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, men, but your rooms are not available yet.

36
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: He didn't know quite.

37
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: What to do, so he decided to call Satan to

38
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 4: see if he would keep them for a little while,

39
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 4: and Satan reluctantly agreed. In a few hours, Satan called

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: back and said, Peter, you got to come get these guys.

41
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 4: The Baptist man is saving everybody, the Catholic man is

42
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 4: forgiven everybody, and the Charismatic has already raised enough money

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: for air conditioning. Hold up your bibles, say it like

44
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 4: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what

45
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: it says I am. I have what it says I have.

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 4: I can do what it says I can do. Today

47
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 4: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess.

48
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 4: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 4: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

50
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about a no

51
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: stick anointing.

52
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 2: In life.

53
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: We all have to deal with negative comments, disrespect, and

54
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 4: people that are critical. No matter how good of a

55
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: person you are, somebody won't understand you. Somebody will make

56
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 4: fun of you. Somebody will try to lessen your importance.

57
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 4: May be a coworker.

58
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 2: It's not so much what they say, but how they

59
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,279
Speaker 2: say it always.

60
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: Condescending, like you're not small hard enough. Maybe it's a relative.

61
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: They celebrate everyone in the family, but they would never

62
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: give you one single compliment. Too often we respond the

63
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 4: wrong way, We get offended, and we let that sour

64
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 4: our day. But Psalng forty five seven says that God

65
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 4: has anointed us with the oil of joy. When you're

66
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: oiled up, nothing can stick to you. I call it

67
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: a no stick anointing. That means when the disrespect comes,

68
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 4: it doesn't have to attach itself. You can choose to

69
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: either hold on to it, let it sour your life,

70
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 4: or you can let it slide right off of you and.

71
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 2: Not give it the time of day.

72
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 4: That coworker that's talking behind your back, you could get

73
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: in there and try to straighten them out. Now, when

74
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: you have the no stick anointing, you realize your time

75
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 4: is too valuable. You are not who they say you are.

76
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 4: You are who God says you are. That relative that

77
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 4: leaves you out on purpose, you could be offended. You

78
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 4: could let that change who you are. No, You're like

79
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 4: a teflon pan. Nothing can stick to you. Somebody gossiping

80
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 4: about you, no big deal.

81
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: God will fight my battles.

82
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 4: Somebody talking about you trying to make you look bad,

83
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 4: that's all right. God is my vindicator. That family member

84
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 4: left you out again trying to be lily. I'm not worried.

85
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 4: What God lifts up, no person can push down. We

86
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 4: have a cooking product here in America called pan comes

87
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 4: in an aerosol. Can you spray it on a pan

88
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 4: before you cook? That way nothing will.

89
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: Stick to it.

90
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 4: Well, every morning, before you leave the house, you need

91
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 4: to spray on your PM so to speak, Father, thank

92
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: you that nothing will stick to me today, no matter

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 4: what people say, no matter what they do or don't do,

94
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 4: I'm not going to be offended. I'm not going to

95
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 4: get upset. I'm going to stay in peace and enjoy

96
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 4: this day. To make up your mind at the start

97
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 4: of the day that nothing that comes your way is

98
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 4: going to steal your joy. I read about this man

99
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 4: and his friend. They were walking down the street to

100
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 4: buy a newspaper early in the morning.

101
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: When they got to the corner, the clerk in the little.

102
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 4: Newsstand was very rude, very inconsiderate. The man bought the

103
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 4: paper and said, as friendly as can be, I hope

104
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 4: you have a great day to day. As they were leaving,

105
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 4: the friend said, is the clerk always that rude? The

106
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 4: man said every morning? He said, well, are you always

107
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 4: that friendly? He said, every single morning. The friend was

108
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 4: kind of puzzled. He said why, he said, because I've

109
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 4: made up my mind. I'm not going to let one

110
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 4: person ruin my day. Just like him, You've got to

111
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: have a made up mind. You're not going to let

112
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 4: one negative comment, one disrespectful coworker, one classmate that's making

113
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 4: fun of you to ruin your day. No decide ahead

114
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 4: of time. I'm gonna spray my pam on before I leave.

115
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 4: I've got this no stick annoying, Any disrespect, any negative

116
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 4: comments gonna slide right off of me. Not gonna give

117
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 4: it the time of day. One time in the scripture,

118
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 4: this prophet was walking down the street with some of

119
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 4: his men, and this young man came out and started

120
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 4: criticizing him, making these very negative, disrespectful comments. And as

121
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: they continue to walk, this young man followed them just

122
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: kept pestering them, badgering them, very annoying. Finally, one of

123
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 4: the men said to the prophet, do you want us

124
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 4: to go shut that young man up? We are tired

125
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 4: of listening to him. The prophet made a very insightful comment.

126
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 4: He said, no, let him keep talking. Maybe God will

127
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 4: hear him and bless me for it. That's the attitude

128
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 4: we should have. Somebody talking about you, trying to make

129
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 4: you look bad. Don't get upset, don't lose your cool.

130
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 4: The more they talk, the more God's gonna bless you.

131
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 4: They're trying to push you down. God's going to use

132
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 4: them to lift you up higher. When I first started

133
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 4: ministering back in nineteen ninety nine. Some people made fun

134
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 4: of me because I smile so much. I've been smiling

135
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 4: my whole life. This is natural to me. My earliest

136
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 4: baby picture six months old. They've got a big smile

137
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 4: on my face. And you would think people would be

138
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 4: glad that you're happy. But there will always be people

139
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 4: that don't understand you, people that are critical. You have

140
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 4: to be strong enough in who God made you to

141
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: be that you don't let these negative.

142
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: Comments change who you are.

143
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 4: If you succumb to that pressure and you try to

144
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 4: adapt to their comments, to fit into their mold, to

145
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 4: please every person, all that's going to do is keep

146
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 4: you from your destiny. And some people they don't even

147
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: know you. They've never spent time with you, never been

148
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 4: to dinner together, they've never heard your heart. Yet they've

149
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 4: already judged you from a distance and decided what they

150
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 4: don't like about you and what you need to change

151
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 4: and what's wrong now, don't make the mistake of taking

152
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 4: that personally.

153
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: They don't even know you.

154
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 4: They just work in the same office complex, or they

155
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 4: just attend the same class. You just see them at

156
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 4: the mall every once in a while. Don't let their

157
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: opinion make you feel less about yourself. Your attitude should

158
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 4: be you don't even know me. If you knew me,

159
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 4: you would like me. If you knew me, you would

160
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 4: want to be my friend. Now I heard these comments,

161
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 4: Joel smiles too much, he's so happy?

162
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: What's wrong with him?

163
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 4: And I was new to all this being in front

164
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 4: of people, and I was kind of insecure, and my

165
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 4: first thought was, maybe I need to change, maybe I

166
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 4: need to be more serious. Well, one day I learned

167
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 4: what I'm telling you. You're never going to please everyone.

168
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 4: You might as well be who God made you to be.

169
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: I put on that no stick anointing. Let those negative

170
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 4: comments lied right off of me. Didn't give them the

171
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 4: time of day. Now, when people tell me I smile

172
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 4: too much, I just.

173
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: Smile even more.

174
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 4: People will always find some reason to be critical, They'll

175
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 4: always find something to make fun of you about. If

176
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 4: you're not secure and you dwell on these comments, it'll

177
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 4: change who you are. But God made you like you

178
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: are on purpose. God gave you your smile, wear it will.

179
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 4: God gave you your personality, your nationality, your looks, your style.

180
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 4: Quit worrying about what other people think, and just be

181
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: who God made you to be. If you will run

182
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 4: your race, I can assure you God will take care

183
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 4: of your critics.

184
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: You don't have to fit into their mold.

185
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 4: You don't have to argue with them, try to convince

186
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 4: them that you're okay. Just be who God made you

187
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: to be, and God will take care of your enemies.

188
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 4: This is what Elisha did. He was traveling from Jericho

189
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 4: to Bethel, and along the way this group of young

190
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 4: men came out and started making fun of him because

191
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 4: he was bald. Second King's two twenty three says they

192
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 4: started mocking him, saying, go bald head, go, go bald

193
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 4: head go. Elisha didn't go over and fight with them.

194
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: He didn't start thinking, Oh, something wrong with me, I'm inferior,

195
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 4: I don't have any hero on my head. No, he

196
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 4: just kept doing what God called him to do. Now,

197
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 4: as those young men were mocking him, the scripture says,

198
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 4: two bears came out of the woods and tore.

199
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: Them to pieces.

200
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 4: That teaches me two lessons. Number one, don't ever make

201
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 4: fun of all people. Number two, Seriously, God will fight

202
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 4: your battles. God will take care of the people who

203
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 4: were making fun of you.

204
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,479
Speaker 2: God hears the disrespect.

205
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 4: He hears the hurtful negative comments, and God will not

206
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 4: allow one of his children to be continually disrespected. Go

207
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 4: through a season that's not fair. People are pushing you down,

208
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 4: making you look bad. But that season will come to

209
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: an end. God will vindicate you. Now you do your

210
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 4: part and keep the nose stick anointing on. Let those

211
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 4: comments slide right off of you. Don't give them the

212
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 4: time of day, and God will do his part. He'll

213
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 4: take care of those who are trying to push you down.

214
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 4: When the prophet Samuel went to Jesse's house to choose

215
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 4: one of his sons as the next king of Israel,

216
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 4: Jesse lined up all of his sons except David.

217
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: There were six.

218
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 4: Young men standing in front of Samuel. He looked at

219
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 4: each of them one by one. Finally said, Jesse, it's

220
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 4: none of these. Do you have another son? Jesse said, yes,

221
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 4: I have a son named David. He's taking care of

222
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 4: my sheep. I didn't bring him in. He's the youngest,

223
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 4: he's kind of small, he's not real talented.

224
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: He's not quite as sharp as his brothers.

225
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 4: David was shown disrespect by his own father. The good

226
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 4: news is God's calling on your life cannot be stopped

227
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 4: by people. Now, I say this respectfully, but it doesn't

228
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: matter what a parent has said about you. Doesn't matter

229
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 4: what a friend said, what a teacher said, what a

230
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 4: spouse said, what a coach said.

231
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,119
Speaker 2: All that matters is what God says. You may have had.

232
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 4: Negative words spoken over you, but that disrespect, that lack

233
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 4: of judgment, cannot stop God's plan for your life. Samuel

234
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 4: took one look at David and he said, that's who

235
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: I'm looking for.

236
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: That's the next king of Israel. I'm sure.

237
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 4: Jesse, his father nearly passed out, thinking, are you sure, Samuel?

238
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 4: My other sons are so much bigger, stronger, more talented.

239
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:50,599
Speaker 2: No.

240
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 4: God doesn't judge by the outside. God looks on the inside.

241
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 4: People will judge you by your appearance, your nationality, what

242
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: family you come from. God looks past the superficial things,

243
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 4: and he sees the potential on the inside.

244
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: God sees the seeds.

245
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 4: Of greatness that He is placed within you. This one

246
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: thing when people you don't know very well are inconsiderate

247
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 4: and dishonoring. But David was disrespected by his own family.

248
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 4: His father didn't even bother enough to bring him in,

249
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 4: so at least Samuel could take a look at him.

250
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 4: Another time, David's brothers tried to push him down. They

251
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 4: were out on the battlefield in an important position. David

252
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: was still a shepherd. David's father asked him to take

253
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 4: his brother's lunch. When David got out there, one of

254
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 4: his brothers said, David, what are you doing here? And

255
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 4: with whom have you left those few sheep? In other words, David,

256
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 4: you're not a warrior like us. You're not strong talented.

257
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 4: All you're doing is taking care of a few sheep.

258
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 4: Anybody can do. That was dishonored, disrespected.

259
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: By the people he loved the most.

260
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 4: One reason David was a champion is he understood this principle.

261
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 2: He had a no stick anointing.

262
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 4: He let those negative words go in one ear and

263
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 4: out the other. He didn't make the mistake of dwelling

264
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 4: on them, thinking, oh, man, my own father thinks I'm

265
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 4: not going to amount to anything. My brothers keep telling

266
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: me I'm a loser, that I'm not talented. No, he

267
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: let the disrespect, the judgment, the gossip slide right off

268
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 4: of him. His attitude was.

269
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: I know who I am.

270
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 4: I am a child of the most high God, I

271
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 4: am equipped, empowered, talented, strong, fearfully and wonderfully made. For

272
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 4: a season, David was made fun of for a season.

273
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 4: He was disrespected, but because he did the right thing,

274
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 4: that season not only came to an end, but God

275
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 4: paid him.

276
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: Back for the disrespect.

277
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 4: His brothers tried to push him down, but God used

278
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 4: it to lift him up. David went out and defeated Goliath,

279
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 4: and overnight he became a national hero. Friends, God knows

280
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 4: how to pay you back. He knows how to take

281
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 4: care of your critics. If you will stay on the

282
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 4: high road, God will always.

283
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: Give you the last laugh.

284
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 4: When it's all said and done, the people that were

285
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 4: making fun of you sow in seeds of strife, gossip, judgment, disrespect,

286
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 4: they will see you promoted in a place of honor,

287
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 4: fulfilling your destiny.

288
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: God is a faithful God.

289
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 4: Now quit letting what somebody said about you sour your day. Well, Joel,

290
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 4: I'm stressed because my cousin's talking about me, or my

291
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 4: friend won't give me any credit. A classmates at school

292
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: they keep making fun of me. Now put on the

293
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 4: no stick anointing and let that slide right off of

294
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 4: you like David, your day of vindication is coming.

295
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: People don't control your destiny.

296
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 4: What they say or do does not affect your future.

297
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: God is in control. He has the final say. He's

298
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 4: not only going to bring you out, but because of

299
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 4: their comments, he's going to bring you out better. What

300
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 4: they meant for harm, God's going to use to your advantage.

301
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: Here's what I've learned.

302
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 4: The more success you have, the more opposition you will face.

303
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: Everybody can't handle your success.

304
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 4: All your family members, friends, relatives, they're not going to

305
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: celebrate the favor.

306
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: On your life.

307
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 4: They were fine as long as you were at the

308
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 4: same level. But when you get promoted, instead of being

309
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 4: happy for you knowing that if God did it for you,

310
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 4: he can do it for them, many times it stirs

311
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 4: up jealousy.

312
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: And if you don't have.

313
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 4: This no stick anointing, you will get involved in battles

314
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 4: that don't matter. You've got to let the criticism, the

315
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 4: disrespis spectful comments slide right off of you. May be difficult,

316
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 4: what they're saying may be very hurtful, but God always

317
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 4: gives you the grace.

318
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 2: For the season that you're in.

319
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 4: You got to remind yourself I have the power to

320
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 4: overlook this insult. One of the greatest marks of maturity

321
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 4: is to not be critical towards someone who is being

322
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 4: critical of you. You been nature wants to get in

323
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 4: there and fight that battle. They're talking behind my back.

324
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 4: I'm going to talk behind their back. They're criticizing me.

325
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 4: Let me tell you a few things I know about them.

326
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 2: Now.

327
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 4: When you are critical of someone who is critical of you,

328
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 4: you're letting their poison get on the inside. The scripture

329
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 4: says Jesus did not answer his critics. He let it

330
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 4: slide right off of him, and he just kept running

331
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 4: his race. He knew not everybody would understand him, not

332
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 4: everybody would like him, but that was okay. I heard

333
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 4: Billy Graham tell him about the first time he went

334
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 4: over to England nearly sixty years ago. The press was

335
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 4: very negative. They said, we don't need your religion over here.

336
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 4: We don't need another minister. One reporter asked him, very sarcastically,

337
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 4: how can you even justify coming over here on a

338
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 4: big ocean liner, a big ship. When Jesus wrote a

339
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 4: donkey everywhere he went, Billy Graham said, if you can

340
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 4: find me a donkey that can walk on water, I'll

341
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 4: buy it in a minute. Shake off the criticism. Everybody

342
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 4: is not going to understand you. Everybody is not going

343
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 4: to like you, and that's okay. You don't have to

344
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: prove to them that you're all right. Do like Jesus

345
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 4: and don't answer your critics. See, we get involved in

346
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 4: many battles that we're not supposed to fight. When people

347
00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 4: are critical, disrespectful, that is simply a distraction worker that's

348
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 4: talking about you.

349
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 2: You could easily spend.

350
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 4: All your time and energy thinking about what they're saying,

351
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 4: trying to figure out how you can pay them back

352
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: or how you can change their mind.

353
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 2: Now that's a distraction.

354
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 4: It's a battle you're not supposed to be engaged in.

355
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 4: God has given us a solution. It's the no stick annoying.

356
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 4: Let it slide right off of you. Don't think about it,

357
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,479
Speaker 4: don't try to pay them back, don't try to convince

358
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 4: them that you're okay. Let it go and God will

359
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 4: fight your battles. God has the right people in your future.

360
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 4: You should not waste your valuable time continually trying to

361
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 4: convince somebody to like you.

362
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 2: Here's the key.

363
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 4: Go where you're celebrated, not where you're tolerated. Quit trying

364
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 4: to win over a person that just tolerates you. They're

365
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 4: not really for you, deep down. The truth be known.

366
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 4: They're kind of jealous of the gift God's given you.

367
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 4: No matter what you do, they're not going to be

368
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 4: one hundred percent behind you. You may convince them for

369
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 4: a little while, but as soon as you don't perform perfectly,

370
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 4: they'll find something that you're doing wrong.

371
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 2: That's like trying to ride.

372
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 4: A dead horse. It's time to dismount, get off and

373
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 4: move forward. Well, you say, Jorda, if I do that,

374
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 4: I may not have their approval. You don't need their approval,

375
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 4: You have Almighty God's approval. If David would have sat

376
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 4: around trying to win over all of his brothers convince

377
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 4: them to accept and approve him, he would have missed

378
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 4: his destiny. He was kind, he was respectful, but he

379
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 4: didn't worry about family members that did not like him.

380
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 4: You may have some relatives that are never going to

381
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 4: celebrate you like they should. They're never going to give

382
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 4: you the respect that you deserve, and that's hard, but

383
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 4: you have to accept.

384
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 2: The fact that you don't have to have their approval.

385
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 4: You don't need them cheering you on, Be kind, be respectful,

386
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 4: but dig your heels in and say, like David, I'm

387
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: going to fulfill my destiny in spite of who is

388
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 4: not behind me. The scripture says Jesus' own brothers didn't

389
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 4: believe in him. That must have been difficult. Here he

390
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 4: was out changing the world, opening blind eyes, raising people

391
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 4: from the dead, and his own brothers wouldn't compliment him,

392
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 4: wouldn't give him any respect. He couldn't do any miracles

393
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 4: in his hometown because they had Jesus in.

394
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 2: A box of who he used to be.

395
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 4: They thought, this is Joseph's son, nothing special about him,

396
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 4: We know him.

397
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 2: He's just a carpenter.

398
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 4: They dismissed him, didn't recognize his gift. Jesus didn't stay

399
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 4: where he was tolerated. He didn't say, come on, guys,

400
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 4: I really am the Messiah. You should see what I

401
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 4: can do. I can turn water into wine. No, he

402
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 4: knew they would never accept him, so he left where

403
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 4: he was tolerated and went to where he was celebrated.

404
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 4: Some of you are spending too much time trying to

405
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 4: win people over that are never going to be one over. Maybe,

406
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 4: like Jesus, it's a family member, a relative, they should

407
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 4: be for you, but they're not. Human nature longs for

408
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 4: the approval, We long for the acceptance. But you cannot

409
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 4: waste your time trying to get something from someone that

410
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 4: they're never going to give you. You keep moving forward

411
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 4: and you will come into the right people, people that

412
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 4: God has ordained, people that will celebrate you, people that

413
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 4: will be for you. Was talking to a lady in

414
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 4: the lobby a while back, and she comes from a

415
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 4: very large family, and she was so upset because one

416
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: of her sisters doesn't like her. This has been going

417
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 4: on for years and years really bothers her. She said, Joel,

418
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 4: I don't understand it. I call her, I'm good to her,

419
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 4: go out of my way to be kind, but no

420
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 4: matter what I do, she always finds fault with me.

421
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 4: I told her what I'm telling you. You're never going

422
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 4: to please everyone. The scripture says, as far as you

423
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 4: can live at peace with every person. Do you know

424
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 4: some people don't want to have peace with you. They

425
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 4: have their own issues that they're not dealing with. Now,

426
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 4: quit trying to win over somebody that doesn't want peace.

427
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 4: You've done your part, You've gone the extra mile. Now,

428
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 4: just back away. If they don't want to have peace,

429
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 4: it's not your problem, it's theirs. You are not responsible

430
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 4: for somebody else's happiness.

431
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 2: You're responsible for your own happiness.

432
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 4: But if you go around trying to keep everybody happy,

433
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 4: meet all their demands went over their approval, the one

434
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 4: person who is not going to be happy is you. Now,

435
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 4: I've learned some people you have to love from a distance.

436
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 4: They're your family, they're your relatives. Yes, you love them,

437
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 4: but you can't be with them every day. They don't

438
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 4: want to have peace with you. Now, don't frustrate yourself

439
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,719
Speaker 4: trying to make something happen that's never going to happen.

440
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 4: And that's not being rude, that's not being disrespectful. That

441
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 4: is being responsible. With the gift God has given you.

442
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 4: You have a responsibility to use your time, your energy,

443
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 4: your emotions, your talent for the right purposes. You should

444
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 4: not continually be trying to convince somebody to like you.

445
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 4: When Jesus sent his disciples into the different cities, he

446
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 4: knew not everybody would understand them. He knew some people

447
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 4: would find fault and start to criticize, So he told

448
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 4: them in Matthew ten fourteen. When you go into a city,

449
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 4: whoever will not accept you. When you leave that place,

450
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 4: shake the dust off your feet. Notice he didn't say,

451
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 4: try to win everybody over, try to make sure they

452
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 4: know that you're okay.

453
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: No, he said, be kind, be respectful, but if they.

454
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 4: Don't accept you, shake it off and move forward. Or

455
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 4: he was saying, in effect, don't stay where you're tolerated,

456
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 4: don't try to win over all your critics, don't try

457
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 4: to convince all your family members to like you.

458
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 2: Just shake it off and go where you're celebrated. In

459
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: the Book of Esther, there's a man by the name

460
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 2: of Haman.

461
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 4: He was the most powerful man in the empire beside

462
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 4: the king. He had influence, authority favor. When he walked by,

463
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 4: people would bow down before him. But one person refused

464
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 4: to show him respect. One man refused to bow down.

465
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 4: Hayman got so angry, so upset, that he couldn't sleep

466
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 4: at night. All he could think about is how he

467
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 4: could make this one man show him respect. Here he

468
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 4: had the honor of the whole city, but he was

469
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 4: so consumed by this one man that he lost his

470
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 4: focus and got engaged in a battle that he wasn't

471
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 4: supposed to fight.

472
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: He got so off course.

473
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 4: He not only lost his position, but he ended up

474
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 4: losing his life.

475
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 2: What am I saying?

476
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 4: Don't let one family member that won't show you respect

477
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 4: cause you to lose your focus to where you spend

478
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 4: all your time and energy trying to win them over.

479
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 4: Don't let one neighbor, one coworker, one classmate cause you

480
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 4: to get distracted and miss your destiny. If they won't

481
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 4: respect you, shake it off. If they try to belittle you,

482
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 4: shake it off. If they're finding fault trying to make

483
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 4: you look bad, shake it off. Your destiny is too great,

484
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 4: your assignment too important, your time too valuable to let

485
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 4: these negative comments, gossip, criticism weigh you down.

486
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 2: It is simply a distraction.

487
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 4: Some of you are engaged in battle that you're not

488
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 4: supposed to fight, trying to win somebody over that's never

489
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 4: going to be one over.

490
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 2: It's time to shake it off and move forward.

491
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 4: Don't stay where you're tolerated, go where you're celebrated. You

492
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 4: don't have to have their approval, You have Almighty God's approval.

493
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 4: Now I'm asking us today, every one of us, before

494
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 4: we leave the house, spray on the pan decide ahead

495
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 4: of time. Nothing that comes your way is going to

496
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 4: sour your day. If you will keep this no stick

497
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 4: anointing on, let any negative comments, the disrespect slide right

498
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 4: off of you, then God will do for you what

499
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 4: he did for the prophet.

500
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 2: The more people talk, the higher God will take you.

501
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 4: They're trying to push you down. God will use them

502
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 4: to lift you up. Just like David, I believe in

503
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 4: declare no person will keep you from your destiny, No

504
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 4: disrespect will stop God's plan, no negative comment will hold

505
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 4: you back. You will overcome every obstacle, defeat every enemy,

506
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 4: and become every.
