I like to start with something. 51 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 5: Funny, and I heard about this kindergarten teacher. She was 52 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 5: trying to explain to her students about self esteem. She 53 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 5: said to her class, anyone who feels like you're dumb, 54 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 5: please stand up. She didn't think anyone would stand, and 55 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 5: she'd make the point how no one is dumb. 56 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 4: About that time, little Johnny stood up. I don't know 57 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 4: now what am I gonna do? 58 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 5: She said, Now, Johnny, do you really feel like you're dumb? 59 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 4: He said no, ma'am. 60 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 5: I just hate to see you standing there, oh by yourself. 61 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 62 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 4: I am what it says. I am. 63 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 64 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 65 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 5: talked to word of God. I boldly confess my mind 66 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 67 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 68 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 5: to talk to you today about refusing negative seeds. We 69 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 5: all have voices that are trying to keep us from 70 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 5: our destiny, and sometimes it's people telling us what we 71 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 5: can't become and how we're not going to accomplish the dream. 72 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 5: It may be experts. They have all the training, all 73 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 5: the skills. They're telling us the facts. Medical science says 74 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 5: you're not going to get well or you don't have 75 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 5: the qualifications for this position. You watch the news and 76 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 5: you hear all the comments about the economy and inflation. 77 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 4: Division viruses. This can bring fear and worrying what's going 78 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 4: to happen. Words are like seeds. 79 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 5: If you dwell on them long enough, they'll take root 80 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 5: and become a reality. The good news is you get 81 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 5: to choose what gets planted in your soil. The scripture 82 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 5: says to guard your mind. That's saying, don't let just 83 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 5: any seed get in there. 84 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 4: Be selective. 85 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 5: If that seed is negative, discouraging, bringing fear, pushing you down, 86 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 5: don't give it the time of day. You need to 87 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 5: say no thanks, I refuse that seed. I'm not letting 88 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 5: that defeat take root in my soil. And sometimes people 89 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 5: don't realize they're doing it. I'm sorry about that diagnosis. 90 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 5: My grandmother died of the same thing. I wouldn't take 91 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 5: that new position if I were you. It's way over 92 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 5: your head. Are you still single? I don't know if 93 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 5: you're ever going to meet anyone. Do yourself a favor. 94 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 5: Let that go in one ear and out the other. 95 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 5: If you start dwelling on it, what if I don't 96 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 5: get well, maybe. 97 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 4: This is over my head. I'm worried that I'm not 98 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 4: going to meet someone. 99 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,799 Speaker 5: You're giving that seed permission to become a reality. 100 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 4: Don't let the doubt from. 101 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 5: Other people keep you from your destiny. You have to 102 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 5: tune out all the negative. Can't do it. Not able 103 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 5: never going to happen. Limiting words. 104 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 4: They may speak that, but you don't have to receive it. 105 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 5: If you don't dwell on it, those words will die 106 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 5: still born. I'll have no effect on you. Victoria and 107 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 5: I were at a restaurant one time, and our son, 108 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 5: Jonathan was six months old, and he was laying in 109 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 5: a little carrier in the. 110 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 4: Seat next to me. 111 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 5: About thirty minutes later, this older couple got up to leave, 112 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 5: and they came over to our table. The lady said, 113 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 5: we were just admiring your little baby in how good 114 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 5: he is, how he just lies there so peaceful and quiet, 115 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 5: and we thank them. 116 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 4: Then the husband. 117 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 5: Said, but just wait till he gets to be two 118 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 5: years old, he'll turn into a tyrant. You better enjoy 119 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 5: it now, because he's going to be a lot of trouble. 120 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 5: Those Terrible twos are coming. We just waved and said goodbye. Thought, 121 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 5: don't let the door hit you as you leave. Something 122 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 5: rose up in me. I told Victoria, I don't receive that. 123 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 5: He doesn't determine our future. His opinion is not our reality. 124 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 4: Not going to be the Terrible. 125 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 5: Twos, going to be the Terrific twos, the awesome threes, 126 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 5: the fabulous fours. Don't get in agreement with negative things 127 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 5: people speak over you. What they're saying may be true 128 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 5: for a lot of people, but you're the exception. 129 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 4: You're the one to have awesome children. 130 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 5: You're the one to get well with the medical report 131 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 5: says you want. You're the one to break the addiction, 132 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 5: to take your family to a new level, to see 133 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 5: favor that people could never imagine that this is going 134 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 5: to happen. You have to be selective in what gets 135 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 5: planted in your soil. 136 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 4: When these negative seeds come, it's real easy. Refuse it. 137 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 5: Don't dwell on it, don't go around talking about it, 138 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 5: don't start. 139 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 4: Expecting it to happen. Keep your mind. 140 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 5: Filled with positive, hopeful, faithful thoughts. David was seventeen years 141 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 5: old when he heard Goliath taunting the Israelites. This giant 142 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 5: stood over nine feet tall, and he was the champion 143 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 5: of the Philistine army. None of the Israelites dared to 144 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 5: face him when he came out shouting his threats. They 145 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 5: all ran and hid well. David was half his size, 146 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 5: he had no training, no armor, but he went to 147 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 5: King Saul and told him that he wanted to face Goliath. 148 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 5: Saul said to David in one Samuel seventeen, David, don't 149 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 5: be ridiculous. 150 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 4: You're just a boy. He's been a warrior since he 151 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 4: was a youth. He was saying, David, what are you thinking. 152 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 4: You don't have a chance. You're too small, you're not qualified. 153 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 4: This is way over your head. 154 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 5: Whenever you're on the verge of a new level, negative 155 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 5: seeds will come to try to talk you out of it. 156 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 5: David had a choice to let those words take root. 157 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 5: I'm just a boy, I'm not up to par I 158 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 5: can't do this. Or was he going to guard his mind, 159 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 5: not let the doubt, the inferiority, the opinion of Saul 160 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 5: talk him out of his destiny. 161 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 4: This was a defining moment. David could have walked away, 162 00:07:58,840 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 4: went back home. 163 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 5: He could have missed who God created him to be 164 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 5: had he not learned this principle. And we see David 165 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 5: defeating Goliath as the great victory. 166 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 4: That's when God took him to a new level. 167 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 5: But the real victory took place when he didn't let 168 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 5: Saul's demeaning words keep him from stepping up. Had he 169 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 5: not refused the negative seeds, he would have never made 170 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 5: it to Goliath. Before you conquer your giant, before you 171 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 5: reach a new level, there will be a Saul. 172 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 4: Trying to discourage you. 173 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 5: A Saul telling you you can't get well man, you 174 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 5: can't start your business. You'll never break that addiction, You'll 175 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 5: never meet the right person. Your real victory is when 176 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 5: you refuse the doubt, refuse what the naysayers are telling you. 177 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 5: You have to win the battle in your mind before 178 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 5: you'll defeat your giants. Too many people get talked out 179 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 5: of ever seeing their Goliath because they listen to Saul. 180 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 5: You would think that Saul would be excited that someone 181 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 5: finally stepped up. 182 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 4: To fight Goliath. 183 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 5: He had been tauning the Israelites for forty days. Now 184 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 5: this young man, David had the courage to take him on. 185 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 5: Surely Saul would say, that's awesome, David, you can do this. 186 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 5: We're all behind you. But when God puts big things 187 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 5: in your heart, don't expect everyone to cheer your own. 188 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 4: Don't expect all your friends, all your family. 189 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 5: To encourage you, tell you how great you are. That's 190 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 5: when the Sauls will show up. People that cast negative 191 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 5: seeds try to get you to doubt and second guess yourself, discredit. 192 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 4: You, make you feel small, like you don't measure up. 193 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 5: Don't let those seeds take root. People don't determine your destiny. 194 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 4: God does. 195 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 5: When he called you, he didn't check with people. He 196 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 5: didn't consult with your friends, your neighbors, your boss, your family, 197 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 5: or your enemies to decide if they think you can 198 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 5: do it. Are you big enough, smart enough, talent enough. 199 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 5: He put things in you that other people can't see. 200 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 5: Don't get upset with them if they think you can't 201 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 5: do it. You're just a boy. You don't come from 202 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 5: the right family. They're looking at the outside. They're judging 203 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 5: from a human point of view. But God has put 204 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 5: things in you that will defy the odds. His favor 205 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 5: will cause you to go places you could never go 206 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 5: on your own. They may think all you have is 207 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 5: a slingshot. You don't have a chance. What they can't 208 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 5: see is that slingshot. 209 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 4: With the blessing of God will bring down giants. 210 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 5: Well, you're just a boy, yes, but a boy with 211 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 5: the favor of God can become the King of Israel. 212 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 4: God wouldn't have allowed the Giant if you weren't well 213 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 4: able to defeat it. The giant is a sign that 214 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 4: a new level is coming. But here's the key. 215 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 5: Before that happens, King Saul will show up. The real 216 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 5: test is not Goliath. The real test is Saul. The 217 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 5: negative words, the doubt, the fear, the insecurity trying to 218 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 5: get you to question yourself and question whether you really 219 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 5: heard God, question if you really have what it takes. 220 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 5: Dismiss the doubt, refuse those negative seeds. You're at a 221 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 5: defining moment. You're on the verge of stepping to a 222 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 5: new level, the verge of seeing God do something you've 223 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 5: never seen. Are you gonna shrink back and let people's 224 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 5: opinion talk you out of it? 225 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 4: Let the fear, the doubt, take root, or you're. 226 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 5: Gonna do like David, dismiss it and move forward in 227 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 5: faith into the awesome future God has in store. When 228 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 5: my father passed in nineteen ninety nine, i'd only ministered 229 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 5: one time, work behind the scenes for seventeen years. I 230 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 5: never wanted to be up in front of people. I 231 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 5: liked being in the background. But I knew that I 232 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 5: was supposed to step up. 233 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 4: And pasture the church, and it didn't make sense to 234 00:11:58,480 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 4: my mind. 235 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 5: I didn't have the training, and I wasn't necessarily qualified, 236 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 5: and I didn't have a big personality like my father. 237 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 5: But I took that step of faith, and I started 238 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 5: speaking on the weekends, and I. 239 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 4: Was so nervous and so unsure of myself. I would 240 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 4: finish one message and. 241 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 5: Walk off the platform so relieved, and the next thought 242 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 5: would come, what are you going to speak on next week? 243 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 4: What if you have nothing to say? 244 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 5: What if no one comes, What if people don't like you, 245 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 5: What if the church goes down the enemy loves to 246 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 5: bring the what ifs? Have you noticed it's always the 247 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 5: worst case scenario. What if that pain in your little 248 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 5: toe is cancer? What if your company lays you off 249 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 5: and you can't pay your bills. 250 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 4: What if your child doesn't pass that class? 251 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 5: These negative seeds that cause worry and anxiety where you. 252 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 4: Can't really enjoy your life. 253 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 5: Instead of letting them take root, why don't you turn 254 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 5: the what ifs around and dwell on the best case scenarios, 255 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 5: Well on something hopeful, something that builds your faith. What 256 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 5: if no one comes, What if the church explodes? What 257 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 5: if you never get well? What if you recover and 258 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 5: feel better than ever? What if your child doesn't pass, 259 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 5: What if he makes the honor law? What if you 260 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 5: never meet anyone? What if they show up this week? 261 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 5: What if you get laid off? What if you get 262 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 5: a promotion? What if you start your business? What if 263 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 5: you step into abundance and favor that you've never seen. 264 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 5: Quit letting the negative play in your mind. You choose 265 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 5: which seeds get planted in your soil. 266 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 4: You have to take control of your thought life. 267 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 5: A few weeks after I started ministering, I was in 268 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 5: the front lobby after the service and I just come 269 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 5: off the platform and I was walking behind these two 270 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 5: ladies and they didn't know I was there. 271 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 4: I overheard them talking. One said, he's not as good 272 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 4: as his father. 273 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 5: The other answered about, yeah, I don't think the church 274 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 5: is going to make it. I was all righty, insecure, 275 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 5: worried about what people thought, wondering was I good enough? 276 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 5: That was like the worst thing that could have happened. 277 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 5: When I heard that, I felt fear shoot through my body, 278 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 5: almost like a panic. Oh no, it's not going to 279 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 5: work out. I don't have what it takes. As I 280 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 5: was processing it all, something rose up in me, like 281 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 5: waking up a sleeping lion. I felt a boldness, a confidence, 282 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 5: a power that I had never felt before. 283 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 4: I thought to myself, you ladies don't. 284 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 5: Know who I am, and you don't know what God 285 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 5: put in me. You weren't there when He formed me 286 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 5: in my mother's womb. You weren't there when he called me, 287 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 5: anointed me, and empowered me. You weren't there when he 288 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 5: crowned me with his favor. You may think that I 289 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 5: can't do it, but I don't need your approval. 290 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 4: You don't think I have what it takes. That I'm 291 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 4: just a boy. But there's a slingshot. You can't see, 292 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 4: there's a giant that's about to come down. 293 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 5: I was at a destiny moment. If I would have 294 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 5: let their seeds take root. I would have talked myself 295 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 5: out of it. In fact, I kept dwelling on that 296 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 5: you're not like your father, You're not good enough. 297 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 4: It's not going to last. 298 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 5: I wouldn't be up here today. I was on the 299 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 5: verge of a new level of my destiny. Getting the 300 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 5: compact center wasn't the real battle. The real battle was 301 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 5: not letting those two women convince me that I didn't 302 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 5: have what it takes. Now look back now and I think, 303 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 5: how did I not let them discourage me? 304 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 4: I was so unsure of myself. 305 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 5: But in those destiny moments, the grace of God will 306 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 5: always be there to empower you. The scripture says, when 307 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 5: the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of 308 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 5: God will raise up a barrier. It wasn't a coincidence that, 309 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 5: out of the thousands of people of church that morning, 310 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 5: it just so happened. 311 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 4: I walked behind those two ladies. I could have walked 312 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 4: behind someone that said that was great. Today, I sure 313 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 4: enjoyed it. That was a test. 314 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 5: Before you accomplish the dream, the enemy will make sure 315 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 5: there will be negative seeds, before your health turns around, 316 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 5: before your child gets back on course. Before you break 317 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 5: that addiction, these seeds of doubt and discouragement. 318 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 4: Can't do it. 319 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 5: Not good enough, never gonna happen. Don't believe those lies. 320 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 5: Turn it around and declare what God says about you. 321 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 5: When thoughts tell you you've seen your best days, nothing 322 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 5: good is in your future. Father, you said, my latter 323 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 5: days will be better than my former days. You said, 324 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 5: the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter. Your 325 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 5: children are never gonna get back on course. Just accept it. 326 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 5: Know as for me and my house, we will serve 327 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 5: the Lord. 328 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 4: Father. Thank you that my children are mighty in the land. 329 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 5: You're never gonna have that baby you've been trying for 330 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 5: so many years. Father, you said in Psalms that you 331 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 5: would make me the happy mother of children. So Lord, 332 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 5: I think you that my baby is. On the March, 333 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 5: chapter five, Jesus was walking by the shore and a 334 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 5: man named Gyros came and fell at his feet and said, Jesus, 335 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 5: my little girl is very sick. She's about to die. 336 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 5: Please come to my house and pray for her. And 337 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 5: Jesus said that he would, but along the way he 338 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 5: kept getting delayed. That's when the woman came up with 339 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 5: the issue of blood touched the edge of his robe. 340 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 4: And she was healed, and Jesus stopped and talked with her. 341 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 5: All this time Gyros was thinking, please hurry, we don't. 342 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 4: Have a lot of time. 343 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 5: About that time, these messengers came up to Jyros, saying, 344 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 5: we're so sorry, but your little girl has died. 345 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 4: There's no use bothering Jesus anymore. 346 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 5: The scripture says Jesus overheard what the messenger said, but. 347 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 4: He ignored their comments. Notice the principle. 348 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 5: You may overhear some negative words, overhear negative reports. 349 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 4: But you have to learn to ignore them. Don't dwell 350 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 4: on it. 351 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 5: You're not denying the problem, you're not acting like it 352 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 5: doesn't exist, but you're not letting it take root. You 353 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 5: can't have faith if there's doubt and fear, worried about 354 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 5: this medical report and joel the experts say it's not 355 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 5: going to work out. 356 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 4: Sometimes take this in the right sense. 357 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 5: You have to turn your mind off, lean not to 358 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 5: your own understanding. Yes, huge common sense that there are 359 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 5: things we face where there is no solution in the natural. 360 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 5: If you try to figure it out, you're going to 361 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 5: get confused. Discourage, talk yourself out of it. You can't 362 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 5: stop that. You heard it, but take the next step 363 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 5: and ignore it. Don't dwell on it. Jesus went in 364 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 5: and prayed for the little girl, and she came back 365 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,959 Speaker 5: to life, a great miracle. There may be things in 366 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 5: your life right now that look dead. Every circumstance says 367 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 5: it's too late. You're never going to get well, never 368 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 5: accomplish your dream, never see your family restored. But God 369 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 5: has the final say. When you believe all things are possible, 370 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 5: don't give those negative seeds any room in your soil. 371 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 5: When you're in a battle, when you're up against those giants, 372 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 5: you need. 373 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 4: Your heart filled with hope, with faith. 374 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 5: Knowing that God is bigger, knowing that he's fighting your battles, 375 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 5: that he's making ways where you don't see away see. 376 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 5: The messenger said it was too late, but they were wrong. 377 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 5: The little girl was healed. Saul said, David, you're just 378 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 5: a boy. You can't defeat Goliath. But Saul was wrong. 379 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 4: David won. Those two ladies said that I couldn't minister, 380 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 4: but they were wrong. Here I am. 381 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 5: The experts told my mother that she had terminal cancer, 382 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 5: a few. 383 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 4: Weeks to live, but they were wrong. Forty two years later, 384 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 4: she's still alive. 385 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 5: People told us that we would never get the compact center, 386 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 5: that the city would never let a church have it, 387 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 5: but they were wrong. Here's my in each of these situations, 388 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 5: if the people would have let the negative seeds take root, 389 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 5: then what the others were saying would have been true. 390 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 5: David wouldn't have defeated Goliath. Jyrus's daughter would have died, 391 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 5: my mother wouldn't have been healed. 392 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 4: I wouldn't have become a minister. 393 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 5: The determining factor wasn't what other people said. 394 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 4: It's whether we let it take root. We control what 395 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 4: we allow in our soil. 396 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 5: I'm asking you to refuse the negative seeds. Refuse the doubt, 397 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 5: refuse the fear, Refuse limitations that people put on you. 398 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 5: My grandmother on my father's side of the family was 399 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 5: a very feisty woman. She only stood four feet eleven 400 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 5: inches tall, but she would fight a tiger. She lived 401 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 5: out in the country her whole life. If you've ever 402 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 5: seen the Beverly Hillbillies, she was granny. Her name was 403 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 5: Ellie May. She chewed tobacco, she dipped snuff. I come 404 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 5: from a various pphisticated family. I'm so glad my sister 405 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,959 Speaker 5: Lisa finally quit. But when my grandmother was up there 406 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 5: in years, she went to the doctor for a checkup. 407 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 5: He said, miss Ostein, I'm sorry to tell you this, 408 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 5: but you have the beginning stages of Parkinson's disease. 409 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 4: Well, my grandmother. 410 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 5: Didn't know what Parkinson's was, but she knew she didn't 411 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 5: want to have anything to do with it. She got 412 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 5: up off the table, bristled back and said, listen here, sir, 413 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 5: I do not. 414 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 4: Have Parkinson's disease. 415 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 5: I refuse to have it, and besides, I'm too old. 416 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 4: To have it. 417 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 5: He looked at her like she was a little bit crazy, 418 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 5: and she was. 419 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 4: But you know, my grandmother never did have Parkinson's disease. 420 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 4: If she had it, the symptoms never showed up. 421 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 5: Now, I know you can't wish things away, but something 422 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 5: happens when you don't let the seed take root. I'm 423 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 5: not saying bury your head in the sand, the not reality. 424 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 5: I'm saying, don't let it get down in your spirit 425 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,479 Speaker 5: where it becomes your default setting. 426 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 4: You always think it. I have this disease. I'm limited. 427 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 3: Now. 428 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 5: Your body is a temple of the Most High God, 429 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 5: see any sickness, any addiction, any. 430 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 4: Pain as foreign. You don't belong here, You are not welcome. 431 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 4: I am God's property. 432 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 5: See doctors tell us what medical science says, and they 433 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 5: give us diagnosis based on skill and expertise and training, 434 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 5: and they. 435 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 4: Help us to get well. 436 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 5: But at times they come to limitations. There's nothing more 437 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 5: they can do medically speaking. While we respect the diagnosis. 438 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 5: That's one report. But there's another report from the God 439 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 5: who created you, from the God who made you in 440 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 5: his own image, from the God who knew you before 441 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 5: you were formed in your mother's womb. 442 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 4: He's called Jehovah. 443 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 5: Raphah, the Lord, your healer, Isaiah said, who will believe 444 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 5: the report of the Lord. 445 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 4: We have different reports. 446 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 5: Here's the medical report, here's my financial report, and here's 447 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 5: what King Saul says. And here's what those two jerks 448 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 5: I mean, those two ladies said, No, we get to 449 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,479 Speaker 5: choose which report we're gonna believe. 450 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 4: He'll never be as good as his father. That's one report, 451 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 4: but there's another one. 452 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 5: I can do all things through Christ. I am strong 453 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 5: in the Lord. God being for me is more than 454 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 5: the world being against me. 455 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 4: Why don't you choose the report of the Lord. You're 456 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 4: not gonna get well. That sickness is permanent. Learn to 457 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 4: live with it. There's another report. 458 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 5: God is restoring health back into me. I will live 459 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 5: and not die with long life. God will satisfy me. Well, 460 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 5: you'll always struggle, You'll always have lack, not enough. 461 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 4: How about this report? I will lend and not borrow. 462 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 4: My cup runs over. 463 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 5: I live under the open windows of heaven, blessings that 464 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 5: I cannot contain. What seeds are you letting take root? 465 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 5: What you're dwelling on is what's going to come to pass. 466 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 5: I talked to a woman that was pregnant with triplets 467 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 5: and because of some other complications, it was considered a 468 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 5: very high risk pregnancy. They sent her to a group 469 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 5: of doctors that specialized in this. She was told that 470 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 5: she would be bedridden after three months of pregnancy and 471 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 5: that the babies would be born at least four months prematurely. 472 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 5: They'd seen this happen again and again. She was respectful, 473 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 5: but she didn't let that seed take root. She told 474 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 5: the doctors that she was going to be the exception, 475 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 5: that her babies were going to be born full term, 476 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 5: and she was not going to be bedridden. 477 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 4: They looked at her like, yeah, right. 478 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 5: At one point, the main doctor said, you're going to 479 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 5: get gestational diabetes, something that occurs during pregnancy that can 480 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 5: lead to long term diabetes. He said, it's not if 481 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 5: you get it, it's when you get it. You have 482 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 5: all the signs, it's just a matter of time. She 483 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 5: asked the doctor very politely to not pronounce things over 484 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 5: her that. 485 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 4: Have not yet happened. 486 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 5: She said, I'd prefer you to say the statistics indicate. 487 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 4: That you will get gestational diabetes. She didn't want that 488 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 4: defeat being spoken over her. 489 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 5: You can't always keep it from coming, but you don't 490 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 5: have to let it take root. They thought she was 491 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 5: kind of odd, But do you know she carried the 492 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 5: triplets the full nine months, She was never bedridden, She 493 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 5: drove herself to the hospital to deliver, and she never 494 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 5: did get gestational diabetes. Now these same doctors call her 495 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 5: the miracle mam. They said, We've never seen anyone like you. 496 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 4: It's amazing what. 497 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 5: God will do if you don't let negative seeds take root. 498 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 5: Whose report are you gonna believe? The report of the 499 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 5: Lord or the report of people? People are limited? God 500 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 5: is unlimited. People are natural. God is supernatural. People look 501 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 5: at facts, statistics, what's supposed to happen. 502 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 4: God goes beyond normal logic.
