He left a note on the windshield, said, officer, 52 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 5: I've circled this block ten times.

He returned to his car and had 55 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 5: a ticket. The officer had written him a note. It said, sir, 56 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 5: I've circled this block. 57 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 4: For ten years. 58 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 5: If I don't give you a ticket, I could lose 59 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 5: my job.

It's a reminder that you're not average, 73 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 5: not mediocre. 74 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 4: To you a royalty. When you're wearing. 75 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 5: Your crown, you'll feel a sense of entitlement, thinking, I 76 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 5: have a right to be blessed. 77 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 4: I have a right to live in victory. 78 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 5: I have a right to overcome these challenges, not because 79 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 5: I'm so great, so strong, so talented, but because I'm 80 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 5: wearing a crown of honor put there by my creator. 81 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,119 Speaker 5: Your perception of yourself will determine what kind of life 82 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 5: you live. If you see yourself as being adage, you 83 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 5: feel less than because of what somebody said, You live 84 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 5: guilty because of past mistakes. 85 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 4: That's going to limit your potential. 86 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 5: What's happening you're not wearing your crown, Jesus said in 87 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 5: Revelation three. Hold fast to what you have so that 88 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 5: no one can take your crown. Throughout life, there will 89 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 5: always be someone or something trying to take your crown. 90 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 5: People talking about you trying to make you look bad, 91 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 5: push you down. What they're really doing is trying to 92 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 5: get your crown. Do yourself a favor, don't let them 93 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 5: have it. Eleanor Roosevelt said, no one can make you 94 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 5: feel inferior without your permission. 95 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 4: Nobody can take your crown. You have to let go 96 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 4: of it. 97 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 5: And somebody may say to you, well, you're not that talented. 98 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 5: You'll never be successful, you can't start your own business. 99 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 5: Too often we think, yeah, you're right, I don't really 100 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 5: have what it takes. Look how long it's been. I'm 101 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 5: not as smart as my cousin. What's happening. You're letting 102 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 5: go of your crown. When those thoughts tell you you're 103 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 5: not attractive enough, just say no thanks, you're not taking 104 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,679 Speaker 5: my crown. I know I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 105 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 5: I know I am one of a kind. Well, you'll 106 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 5: never get out of debt, you'll never send your children 107 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 5: to college, No thanks. 108 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 4: I will lend and not borrow. Whatever I touch will 109 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 4: prosper and succeed. 110 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 5: You're not just being positive, You're holding on to your crown. 111 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 4: Thoughts say, well, look at where you are in life. 112 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 5: You should be ashamed of yourself, the mistakes you've made, 113 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 5: the times you failed, or you're not having my crown. 114 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 5: I may have fallen, but look at me now. I 115 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 5: didn't stay down. 116 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 4: I got back up again. 117 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 5: I made mistakes that didn't change my name. I'm still 118 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 5: a child of the Most High God. If you're going 119 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 5: to keep your crown, you have to dig your heels 120 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 5: in and say, I'm not going to let what somebody said, 121 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 5: or who walked away, or what didn't work out steal 122 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 5: my sense of value. I know I have been crowned 123 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,679 Speaker 5: with honor, and when somebody tries to make you feel 124 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 5: small they say something derogatory. Instead of being upset and 125 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 5: believe in it, just reach up and straighten your crown. 126 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 5: They can't change who you are unless you allow them to. 127 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 5: They don't control your destiny. They don't determine your value. 128 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 5: They didn't breathe life into you. God did, and he 129 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,679 Speaker 5: calls you a masterpiece. He says you're a king, a queen. 130 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 5: You're supposed to reign in life. That's why he put 131 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 5: the crown of honor on your head. It's to remind 132 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 5: you who you are. But the mistake we make too 133 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 5: many times is we believe the lies. Somebody says you're 134 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 5: not that talented. Instead of saying no thanks, we say, oh, yeah, 135 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 5: you're right, Let me take off my crown. I thought 136 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 5: I was you're not royalty, you come from the wrong family, 137 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 5: You'll never do anything great. Instead of ignoring, not giving 138 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 5: it the time of day, we think, yeah, you're right. 139 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 5: What was I thinking? Let me take off my crown. 140 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 5: The enemy's main tool is deception. There's nothing he would 141 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 5: love anymore than for you to go through life not 142 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 5: wearing your crown, letting people and circumstances convince you that 143 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 5: you don't deserve to be blessed. You don't have what 144 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 5: it takes. You've been through too much. You can't feel 145 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 5: good about yourself. Don't you dare give away your crown. 146 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 5: It belongs to you, It was put there by your creator. 147 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 5: It has nothing to do with how you feel, how 148 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 5: you look, what other people said. It's based solely on 149 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 5: the fact that you are a child of Almighty God. 150 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 5: He has crowned you with glory and honor. I know 151 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 5: a young man that loved to play baseball. 152 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 4: That was his passion growing up. 153 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 5: But when he tried out for the school team, the 154 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 5: coach didn't give him a chance. He said, I'm sorry, son, 155 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 5: you can't try. You're too small. You would never make 156 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 5: this team. And the coach wasn't trying to be rude, 157 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 5: he was just looking at it in the natural. But 158 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 5: just because somebody doesn't believe in you, that doesn't mean 159 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 5: that has to stop your dream. The reason people don't 160 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 5: always encourage you and cheer you on is because they 161 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 5: can't feel what you feel. God didn't put the dream 162 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 5: in them. He put the dream in you. Don't let 163 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 5: their discouragement. 164 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 4: Steal your enthusiasm. They may be the experts, but the 165 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 4: experts can be wrong. 166 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 5: Keep your crown on, keep believing, keep hoping, keep pursuing. 167 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 5: You don't need everyone to be for you. You and 168 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 5: God are a majority. When you're wearing your crown. God 169 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 5: will open doors that no man can shut. He'll help 170 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 5: you accomplish what you could not accomplish on your own. 171 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 5: He wouldn't have put the dream in you if he 172 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 5: didn't already have a way to bring it to pass. 173 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 5: This young man went home from school that day very discouraged. 174 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 5: His heart was set on playing baseball, but instead of 175 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 5: sitting around defeated, thinking, he wasn't good enough. 176 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 4: He kept his crown on. 177 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 5: His attitude was the coach may say I'm too small, 178 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 5: but I know I'm not a mistake. I'm the right size. 179 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 5: I have what I need to fulfill my destiny. A 180 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 5: couple of weeks later, the school announced that because so 181 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 5: many boys tried out, they were forming a second team. 182 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 4: He tried out and made that team. 183 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 5: He was excited about playing, even though he knew he 184 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 5: was on the lesser talented team. Those two teams played 185 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 5: in the same division. There was about twelve teams. They 186 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 5: ended up playing for the championship, playing each other. 187 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 4: This young man was the picture on his team. 188 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 5: Although he was told he was too small. He struck 189 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 5: out batter after batter after batter. They went on to 190 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 5: beat the quote more talented team and win the championship. 191 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 5: What am I saying? People don't determine your destiny. They 192 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 5: don't know what's in you. Don't take off your crown 193 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 5: because somebody judged you by the outside. Somebody told you 194 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 5: you're not talented enough, not attractive enough, not tall enough, 195 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 5: not smart enough. 196 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 4: You don't have to have them cheering you on. 197 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 5: Keep your crown on, keep being your best honoring God, 198 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 5: and he will get you to where you're supposed to be. 199 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 5: Jesus said in the Book of John, your approval or 200 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 5: disapproval means nothing to me. 201 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 4: That's a powerful way to live. 202 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 5: He was saying, I know who I am, and nothing 203 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 5: you do or don't do is going to change it. 204 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 5: You can celebrate me or you can crucify me, but 205 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 5: I'm keeping my crown. See, people can be funny. One 206 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 5: moment they can be cheering for you, and another moment 207 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 5: they can be putting you down, trying to make you 208 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 5: look bad. One moment, Jesus was riding a donkey into town, 209 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 5: people were waving palm branches, celebrating his arrival like a king. 210 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 5: In a few days, those same people were hollering crucify him. 211 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 4: He doesn't deserve to live. 212 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 5: If you base we're in your crown on whether people 213 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 5: like you or don't, whether they believe in you or 214 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 5: don't believe in you, you're going to be taking your 215 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 5: crown on and off your whole life. You don't need 216 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 5: other people's approval, you have Almighty God's approval. Our attitude 217 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 5: should be you can be for me or against me. 218 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 5: You can celebrate me or criticize me. But one thing 219 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 5: for certain, I'm not giving you my crown. I know 220 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 5: who I am. I am a royalty, I am accepted, 221 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 5: I am approved, I am valuable. In the Scripture, Isaac 222 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 5: said to his son Esau, your brother has carried away 223 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 5: your blessing. Sometimes we let other people carry our blessing. 224 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 4: We let what they say about us. 225 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 5: Their disapproval, their discouraging words, keep us. 226 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 4: From who we were meant to be. You have to 227 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 4: put your foot. 228 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 5: Down and say, I am not going to let people 229 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 5: talk me out of my dreams. I'm not going to 230 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 5: let a coworker make me feel inferior, like I'm not 231 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 5: good enough, not going to let a coach, a teacher, 232 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 5: a counselor talk me in to live in an average, mediocre, 233 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 5: get by life. You have seeds of greatness. You are 234 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 5: destined to leave your mark on this generation. Don't let 235 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 5: anyone carry away your blessing. When we look back, the 236 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 5: enemy's been trying to get our crown. 237 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 4: From the beginning of time. 238 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 5: In the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were living confident, secure. 239 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 5: They were at peace with God, at peace with themselves. 240 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 5: They were wearing their crowns. They knew they had God's 241 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 5: blessing and favor. But one day the enemy deceived them 242 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 5: into eating the forbidden fruit. They did immediately, they were afraid. 243 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 5: They ran and hid. In effect, they gave the enemy 244 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 5: their crown. And that's what happens. When we're not wearing 245 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 5: our crown. It opens the door to fear, to insecurity, 246 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 5: to shame. We focus on what we're not, the mistakes 247 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 5: we've made, what other people have said about us. Where 248 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 5: there's no crown, there's no covering, there's no reminder of 249 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 5: who we are. We believe those lies that can push 250 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 5: us down. And God came looking for Adam and Eve 251 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 5: couldn't find him. Said Adam, where are you? Adam said, 252 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 5: we're hiding because we're naked. 253 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 4: God said Adam. 254 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 5: Who told you you were naked? God knew he had 255 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 5: taken off his crown. God is asking us today, who 256 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 5: told you there's something. 257 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 4: Wrong with you? 258 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,239 Speaker 5: Who told you you're just average, that you can't accomplish 259 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 5: your dreams, that you're too that you come from the 260 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 5: wrong family, that you're not good enough. I can assure 261 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 5: you that didn't come from our God. You need to 262 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 5: put your crown back on. You may have let some person, 263 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 5: some event take it. The good news is you can 264 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 5: get it back. It's not too late. You have control 265 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 5: over your crown. It starts in your thinking. No more, 266 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 5: I'm just a c student. I'm just average. No I 267 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 5: am an a student. I am full of wisdom. I 268 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 5: will excel in school. 269 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 4: No more. 270 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 5: I've been through too much joy. I lost a loved one. 271 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 5: I'll never be happy again. 272 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 6: No. 273 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 5: God has given me beauty for these ashes. What he 274 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 5: started in my life he will finish. Don't sit around 275 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 5: feeling sorry for yourself. Put your crown back on. 276 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 4: No more. I come from the wrong family. Nothing special 277 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 4: about me. No, I've been made in the image of 278 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 4: Almighty God. 279 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 5: I'm a masterpiece, one of a kind, prize possession eh Joel. 280 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 5: I could never do anything great in life. All the 281 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 5: odds are against me. 282 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 4: No, I have the fever of God. I am equipped, empowered, 283 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 4: and anointed. 284 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 5: If you're going to reach your highest potential, you have 285 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 5: to keep your crown on. Doesn't happen automatically, So why 286 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 5: the scripture says to hold fast to what you have 287 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 5: so that no one takes it away. 288 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 4: Have you allowed something. 289 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 5: To get your crown? A disappointment, a bad break, a divorce. 290 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 5: You're not passionate about life anymore. Your crown is waiting 291 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 5: for you. Have you let a mistake, a failure, bankruptcy 292 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 5: convince you to settle for second best. 293 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 4: You need to go get your crown. 294 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 5: You wouldn't be alive unless God had another victory in 295 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 5: front of you. Start dreaming again, start believing again, Start 296 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 5: hoping again. Talk to a young lady in the lobby recently. 297 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 5: She was very discouraged because her marriage didn't make it. 298 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 4: Her husband left her for someone else. 299 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 5: She was a beautiful girl, but now she was convinced 300 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 5: that she wasn't attractive enough, not talented enough, not smart enough. 301 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 4: She had taken her crown off. 302 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 5: She told me all the things she should have done better, 303 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 5: if I'd only done this, if I'd only done that. 304 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 4: In her mind, it was all her fault. 305 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 5: But when somebody leaves your life doesn't necessarily mean there's 306 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 5: something wrong with you. It could be the other person 307 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 5: is the problem. 308 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 4: Have you ever thought about maybe they have some issues. 309 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 5: If they left you, they'll leave the next person. But 310 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 5: the accuser will work overtime trying to convince you how 311 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 5: you don't measure up, how you're not valuable. How there's 312 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 5: nothing good in your future. He's trying to take your crown. 313 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 5: The scripture says God will never leave us or forsake us. 314 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 4: If they left you and you needed them, that would 315 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 4: mean God was forsaking you. 316 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 5: So you canlude if they left you didn't need them. 317 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 5: If they walked away, they weren't a part of your destiny. 318 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 5: Isaiah said, God will give you double. 319 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 4: For the unfair things that have happened. 320 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 5: You may not realize it, but when they left, in 321 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 5: a sense, they did you a favor. They set you 322 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 5: up for what God really wants to do. He has 323 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 5: somebody amazing in your future, a divine connection, somebody better 324 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 5: than you imagined, somebody that will treat you. 325 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 4: Like the king the queen you were meant to be. 326 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 5: But you have to do your part and put your 327 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 5: crown back on. It's not going to happen if you 328 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 5: go around negative, discouraged, feeling unattractive. If you're unattractive on 329 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 5: the inside, you'll be unattractive on the outside. You carry 330 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 5: yourself the way you feel about yourself. I've seen ladies 331 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 5: that were not necessarily that attractive. They didn't have a 332 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 5: lot of natural beauty, but on the inside they have 333 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 5: it going on. When you're wearing your crown, you're confident, secure, 334 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 5: You know you're a masterpiece, want of a kind, a 335 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 5: prize possession. You're not dwelling on all the negative chatter, 336 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 5: what you're not, what you don't have, what. 337 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 4: Other people are saying. 338 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,959 Speaker 5: You go through the day with a smile on your face, 339 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,239 Speaker 5: a spring in your step. You know your royalty, that 340 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 5: you've been crowned with glory and honor. When you live 341 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 5: this way, you're going to come into some divine connections. 342 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 5: You won't have to go after them. God will cause 343 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 5: the right people to track you down. And maybe today 344 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 5: you've been through a disappointment, a loss, something didn't work out. 345 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 5: It would be easy for you to feel not attractive, 346 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 5: not valuable, not excited about life. 347 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 4: Get your crown back. That crown is what gives you 348 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 4: the fevor. 349 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 5: The crown is what causes you to stand out. One 350 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,959 Speaker 5: thing this happened has lessened your value. You are still 351 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 5: the prized possession, the apple of God's eye. 352 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 4: Don't let a disappointment, a loss. 353 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 5: Carry away your blessing. It's not the end, it's a 354 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 5: new beginning. This is what a lady in the scripture 355 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 5: had to do named Naomi. She lost her husband, later 356 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 5: lost two sons in a battle. 357 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 4: She was so discouraged she didn't think she could go on. 358 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 4: She took off her crown. 359 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 5: She used to be a happy woman, full of joy, 360 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 5: fun to be around. Now she was bitter. She thought, 361 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 5: I'm done. I'll never be happy again. She even changed 362 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 5: her name from Naomi, which means my joy, tomorrow, which 363 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 5: means bitter. When people called her Naomi, she was so heartbroken. 364 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 5: She would say, don't call me that, I'm too depressed. 365 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 4: Call me Mara. She was saying, call me bitter. 366 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 5: The problem is when you take off your crown, you 367 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 5: take off the favor. 368 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 4: The honor, the glory. 369 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 5: That's what you need for God to pay you back 370 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 5: in those tough times. More than ever, you have to 371 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 5: keep reminding yourself, I am a child of the most 372 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 5: High God. I am extremely valuable. God has beauty for 373 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 5: these ashes. Double is coming my way. Naomi thought she 374 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 5: was finished. She moved back to her hometown, planning on 375 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 5: fading off into the sunset. But when she saw some 376 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 5: old friends and tried to convince them to call hermorrow, 377 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 5: they said, Naomi, what are you talking about That's not 378 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 5: who you are. You're not bitter. We're calling you my joy. 379 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 5: They kept calling her Naomi. Every time they did, they 380 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 5: were prophesying her future. She was trying to stay in defeat. 381 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 5: They said, no, you'll come in into victory. She kept 382 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 5: taking her crown off, they kept putting it back on. 383 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 4: What am I saying? 384 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 5: You need people around you that will remind you who 385 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 5: you are, not people that will get bitter with you. 386 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 4: People agree with. 387 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 5: The defeat, the mediocrity, but people who will call you blessed, 388 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 5: call you victorious, call your royalty. 389 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 4: People that will remind. 390 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 5: You your best days are still yet to come. That 391 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 5: what's meant for harm, God's going to use to your advantage. 392 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 5: People that will help you keep your crown on. That's 393 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 5: why every week I tell you you're blessed, your prosperous, redeemed, forgiven, talented, confident, strong, valuable, 394 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 5: a masterpiece. 395 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 4: What am I doing making sure that you're wearing your crown? 396 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 4: Life will try to take it off. My goal is 397 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 4: to help you keep it on. Naomi went back to 398 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 4: her hometown. 399 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 5: Her daughter in law, Ruth, came with her, and Ruth 400 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 5: had lost her husband and she met a man named Boaz, 401 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 5: and Ruth and Boaz got married, and one day they 402 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 5: had this little baby boy. This time, Naomi was way 403 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 5: up there in years, didn't look like she had any 404 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 5: reason to live. But when she saw that little baby, 405 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 5: something came alive on the inside. 406 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 4: The scripture says. 407 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 5: The women in the town rejoiced, saying, Naomi, God has 408 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 5: given you a son. This baby will restore your youth. 409 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 5: She felt this new sense of purpose. She took care 410 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 5: of that little baby like it was her own. 411 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 4: She didn't think. 412 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 5: She'd ever be happy again, but now she is more 413 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 5: fulfilled than ever. That was God paying her back for 414 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 5: the unfair. 415 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 4: Things that have happened. Are you wearing your crown today? 416 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 5: Or have you let a disappointment, a loss, a bad 417 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 5: break convince you to take it off. Nothing that's happened 418 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 5: to you has stopped God's plan. He knows how to 419 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 5: give beauty for ashes, how to turn mourning into dancing. 420 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 5: Like Naomi, you may have taken your crown off thinking 421 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 5: that you've seen your best days, but you need to 422 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 5: get ready. The latter part of your life is going 423 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 5: to be better than the former part. God still has 424 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 5: a purpose for beutiful, Phil, he still has something amazing 425 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 5: in your future. Put your crown back on. I heard 426 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 5: a story about Helen of Troy. She was an extremely 427 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 5: beautiful queen, a young woman born into royalty, loved and 428 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 5: admired by all the people. But one day she was 429 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 5: kidnapped and taken away to a foreign country. With all 430 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 5: the confusion, she was stricken with amnesia. She couldn't remember 431 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 5: her name or where she was from. She ended up 432 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 5: living on the streets, homeless, being taken advantage of here. 433 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 5: She had royalty in her blood. She was a respected 434 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 5: and admired queen in her hometown, but nobody knows where 435 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 5: she is, and she doesn't know who she is. Back 436 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 5: at home, all of her friends and family never gave 437 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 5: up on her. Even though it had been years and years, 438 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 5: they still believed she was alive. This one man that 439 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 5: loved her dearly, he'd taken care of her growing up. 440 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 5: He set out to try to find her again. And 441 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 5: while he was searching the streets of this far away country, 442 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 5: he saw this pitiful looking woman sitting by the water. 443 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 5: Clothes were raggedy, here was matted, face was battered and bruised. 444 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 5: He was about to pass on by, but something looked 445 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 5: strangely familiar. He asked her what her name was. She 446 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 5: mumbled something, wouldn't really talk. He looked closer and became 447 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 5: even more intrigued. He asked if he could see her hands. 448 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 5: He remembered the line prints on her hands. 449 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 4: She showed them. When he saw them, he was astonished. 450 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 4: He couldn't believe it. He whispered, Helen. She looked at him, confused. 451 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 5: He said, you are Helen of Troy. You are the 452 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 5: Queen Helen. Don't you remember. 453 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 4: Suddenly it was like a light turned on. 454 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 5: Her face brightened up, the fall lifted. She rediscovered who 455 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 5: she really was. 456 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 4: She hugged her friend. 457 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 5: They went back to her hometown, and once again she 458 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 5: became the queen that she was meant to be. Like Helen, 459 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 5: too many people today are suffering from amnesia. They were 460 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 5: born into royalty, created to reign in life. God crowned 461 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 5: them with honor and glory, but they've forgotten who they 462 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 5: are because of bad breaks, disappointments, mistakes they've made. They're 463 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 5: living far below their privileges, thinking that they're average that 464 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 5: beaten down by life. Like this man did for Helen. 465 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 5: I'm here to remind you who you are. You are 466 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 5: a child of the most High God. 467 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 4: You have royal blood flowing through your veins. 468 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 5: There is a crown of honor that belongs to you. 469 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 5: Your mind may be in a fog, but I believe 470 00:25:58,960 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 5: in your spirit. 471 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 4: Something is coming alive. 472 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 5: Strongholds that have held you back are being broken, defeated thinking, 473 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 5: negative mentality. Those chains are being loosed. You're gonna rediscover 474 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 5: who you really are. Not average, not mediocre, but royalty, 475 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 5: a king, a queen. Now do your part and put 476 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 5: your crown back on. I read about a six year 477 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 5: old boy. He was born during the French Revolution. His 478 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 5: father was King Louis the sixteenth. In all the uprising, 479 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 5: both his mother and father were condemned to death. They 480 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 5: brought them out on the public square and had them beheaded. 481 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 5: The crowds were so against them they begin to call 482 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 5: for this little boy, saying, bring out the prince, let's get. 483 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 4: Rid of all royalty. 484 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 5: Just before they did, someone said, no, don't kill him, 485 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 5: that's too easy. His soul will go to heaven. Let's 486 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 5: turn him over to the evil woman named Meg. Teach 487 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 5: him how to do wrong, how to lie. 488 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 4: To cheat, to say bad things. Then when he dies, 489 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 4: he won't go to heaven. 490 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 5: They agreed and turn this little boy over to the 491 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 5: evil woman, and she began to teach him how to 492 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 5: say profane things. But every time she tried to get 493 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 5: him to say something bad, he would put his foot 494 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 5: down and say, no, I'm not going to do it. 495 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 5: I was born to be a king. I will not 496 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 5: talk that way.
