And I heard about 49 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 6: this minister. He was driving down the road when he 50 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 6: got pulled over by a policeman. The officer came to 51 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 6: the window and smelled alcohol. He saw a thermist and said, sir, 52 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 6: what are you drinking. The minister said, just water. Officer, 53 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 6: he asked to see the thermiston. He took one snip 54 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 6: and said, this smells like wine to me. The minister said, 55 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 6: what do you know? 56 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 4: Jesus did it again? Say it like you mean it. 57 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says. 58 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 7: I am. 59 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 60 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 61 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 4: talked the word of God. 62 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 6: I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 63 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 64 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 4: bless you. 65 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 6: I want to talk to you today about a receiving mindset. 66 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 6: God has great things in store for all of us, 67 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,839 Speaker 6: but too often we don't think we deserve it. We've 68 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 6: made too many mistakes. We don't see how it could happen. 69 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 6: Instead of receiving the mercy and receiving the approval, receiving 70 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 6: the abundance. 71 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 4: We come up with excuses. 72 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 6: I can't get well, you saw the reporter. I can't 73 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 6: be blessed. I've had a rough past. I don't never 74 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 6: have abundance. I don't have the training. We don't realize 75 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 6: we're self sabotaging our future. We want to be blessed, 76 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 6: we're praying for favor, but because of how we feel 77 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 6: about ourselves, we're pushing away the very things that we want. 78 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 6: Paul said in Romans, the gift of righteousness is for 79 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 6: all who will receive it. God has gifts for you. 80 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 6: He has mercy, wisdom, favor. You don't earn it, you 81 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 6: don't work for it. It's not based on your education, 82 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 6: your background. 83 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 4: It's a gift. 84 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 6: But these gifts won't do you any good if you 85 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 6: don't receive them. The enemy will work over time to 86 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 6: try to keep you condemned, feeling unworthy, not good enough, 87 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 6: smart enough, attractive enough. Instead of believing those lies, try 88 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 6: a different approach. 89 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 4: Have a receiving mindset. 90 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 6: God, I've made a lot of mistakes, but I receive 91 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 6: your forgiveness. My dream looks impossible, but I receive your favor. 92 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 6: Been fighting this sickness a long time, but I receive 93 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 6: your healing. Quit rejecting the good things God has for 94 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 6: you and learn to receive the gift. You don't have 95 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 6: to force it, you don't have to talk God into it. 96 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 6: Perform good enough, just be a receiver. God, you promised 97 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 6: whom the sun sets free is free. Indeed, So Lord, 98 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 6: I receive your freedom. 99 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 4: Right now. 100 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 6: Lord, you said my latter days would be better than 101 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 6: my former days, So I receive a bright future. Now, 102 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 6: thoughts will whisper not for you. You've had too many 103 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 6: bad breaks. You always struggle. No one is your family 104 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 6: is successful. 105 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 4: You have a choice. 106 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 6: You can let the gift sit there and say, yeah, 107 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 6: you're probably right. I want to be blessed, but it's 108 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 6: never going to happen. That's self sabotaging. Do yourself a 109 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 6: favor and take the gift. Lord, I receive your abundance. 110 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 6: I receive your favor. I receive your blessing on my life. 111 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 6: When our children were small, six years old and three, 112 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 6: I would take them up to the toy store, no 113 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 6: special occasion, just during the week. I love being good 114 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 6: to them, I say Hey, guys, you want to go 115 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 6: to the toy store. Do you know They never once said, no, Dad, 116 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 6: we don't deserve it. We're not worthy. We didn't clean 117 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 6: our room last week. I bet my brother I threw 118 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 6: food at my sister. Children they know how to receive. 119 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 6: They didn't start debating whether or not they deserved it. 120 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 6: They didn't question me as their father, was I telling 121 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 6: them the truth? 122 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 4: Did I really mean it? They just received the gift. 123 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 6: The scripture says you have to have faith. As a 124 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 6: little child, children have no problem receiving. They haven't been 125 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 6: contamidated with all the inferiority lies about how they don't 126 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 6: measure up what they can't become. But as adults we 127 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 6: can start reasoning things out. I didn't perform up to par. 128 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 6: God's not gonna bless me all my family struggles. I'm 129 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 6: sure I'll struggle too. I'm not attractive, I don't feel valuable. 130 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 6: There's nothing special about me. Why don't you start receiving 131 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 6: the gift? God said you are fearfully and wonderfully made. 132 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 6: He calls you a masterpiece. 133 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 4: He knew you. 134 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 6: Before you were formed in your mother's wound and approved you. 135 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 6: He approved you before you could do anything good. He 136 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 6: didn't approve you based on your performance. He approved you 137 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 6: based on the fact that you're his child, created in 138 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 6: his image, crowned with his favor. 139 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 4: Now you have to receive that approval, receive. 140 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 6: That validation, and not ordinary, but a child of the 141 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 6: most high God, handpicked by the. 142 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 4: Creator of the universe. 143 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 6: You may not get this from people, but your heavenly 144 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 6: father says you're one of a kind, a prize possession. 145 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 6: Don't go through life inferior, not up to par. Have 146 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 6: a receiving mindset. God, I receive your approval, I receive 147 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 6: your love. I think that you have accepted me, that 148 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 6: I am worthy, I am valuable, I am a masterpiece. 149 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 6: The scripture says it is the Father's good pleasure to 150 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 6: give you the kingdom. That means it makes God happy, 151 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 6: It gives him great joy to bless you, to forgive you, 152 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 6: to show you favor. 153 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,119 Speaker 4: But there's a condition. Will you receive the gift. 154 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 6: Will you believe you're worthy, you're approved, you're valuable, you're blessed, 155 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 6: your favored, Or are you pushing away all the gifts, 156 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 6: the love, the mercy thinking you don't deserve it. You 157 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 6: could never get well, never have abundance, never feel attractive. 158 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 6: If you want to bring God joy, if you want 159 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 6: to make him smile, have a receiving mindset. Start accepting 160 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 6: the gifts, start believing the promises. 161 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 4: He said. You haven't seen, heard, or imagined. 162 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 6: What He has in store for you. Your mind will 163 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 6: tell you just the opposite. You've seen your best days. 164 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 6: Nothing good is in your future. Tune that out, Father, 165 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 6: I'll receive a future greater than I can imagine. I'll 166 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 6: receive your far and beyond favor. Thoughts will tell you 167 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 6: that your children will never get back on course, they'll never. 168 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 4: Fulfill their purpose. But God says your children will be 169 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 4: mighty in the land. He said, the seed of the 170 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 4: righteous is blessed. 171 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 6: Instead of receiving the doubt, how about receiving the faith, 172 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 6: receiving the promises. Father, I think that my children will 173 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 6: become all that you've created them to be. I see 174 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 6: them serving you, doing great things, leaving their mark. 175 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 4: What you're receiving is what's going to come to pass. 176 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 6: If you're receiving the doubt, the negativity, I can't get well, 177 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 6: can't break this addiction. I'll always be lonely. You're receiving 178 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 6: the wrong things. Start receiving the gifts. Receive the promises, 179 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 6: Receive the abundance, receive great relationships, Receive a long, healthy life. 180 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 6: Receive a bountiful, productive, abundant year. One time Jesus was 181 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 6: in Galilee teaching the people. There were so many gathered 182 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 6: that he asked Peter if he could borrow his both 183 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 6: he never met Peter. Peter agreed and let him use it. 184 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 6: Jesus pushed out from the shore and talked the people. 185 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 6: When he finished, he wanted to thank Peter. He told 186 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 6: him to launch out into the deep and he would 187 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 6: catch a great haul of fish. Well, Peter had fished 188 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 6: all night and caught nothing. 189 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 4: He was tired. 190 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 6: He didn't feel like like it, but he said to Jesus, nevertheless, 191 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 6: at your word, I will do it. He went out 192 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 6: and caught so many fish that his nets begin to break. 193 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 4: He had to call another boat over. 194 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 6: When they loaded up all the fish, both boats began 195 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 6: to sink. It was a net breaking boat sinking blessing, 196 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 6: something Peter had never experienced. But when he got to 197 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 6: the shore, the scripture says, he fell down at Jesus' 198 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 6: feet and said, Lord, please depart from me. I'm too 199 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 6: big of a sinner to be around you. He was saying, 200 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 6: I don't deserve this blessing. I'm not worthy of this favor. 201 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 6: I've lived a rough life, have a problem with my temper. 202 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 6: I used bad language. He came up with all these 203 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 6: reasons why this shouldn't have happened. But God was showing 204 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 6: us that his blessing is not based on our performance. 205 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 6: His favor, his healing, his freedom, his mercy. 206 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 4: It's the gift of God, something we don't deserve. 207 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 6: We don't earn it, we couldn't work for it. We 208 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 6: can't make it happen in our own strength. 209 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 4: It's His goodness. 210 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 6: But like Peter, it's easy to find all the reasons 211 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 6: not to accept it. But I love what Jesus did. 212 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 6: He didn't say, Peter, you're right. I made a mistake. 213 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 6: I chose the wrong person. I didn't realize how unworthy 214 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 6: you were, how you have all these weaknesses and shortcomings. No, 215 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 6: he said, Peter, don't be afraid. From now on you're 216 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 6: going to be fishing for people. I'm gonna make you 217 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 6: one of my disciples. You're going to impact the world 218 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 6: upon this rock upon you. Peter, I will build my church, 219 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 6: and the gates of Hell will not prevail against him. 220 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 6: I can imagine Peter's standing there in amazement, looking around, thinking, 221 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 6: does he know who I am? I'm not a history maker, 222 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 6: I'm a fisherman. He can't build anything on me. I'm 223 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 6: not a leader. I don't have any influence. All these 224 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 6: excuses flooded his mind, telling him what he was not, 225 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 6: how he didn't deserve it. But something rose up in Peter. 226 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 6: Despite all the doubt, all the fear, all the insecurity, 227 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 6: the scripture says, Peter left everything and followed Jesus. His 228 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 6: attitude was, I may be a little crazy, but I'm 229 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 6: gonna accept this gift seems far. 230 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 4: Out, more than I can imagine. I don't have the training. 231 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 6: I've made mistakes, but I believe that I'm forgiven. I 232 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 6: believe that I'm worthy. I believe I'm a history maker, 233 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 6: a world changer, a barrier breaker. Peter had every reason 234 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 6: to reject the gift, to push away the blessing, the abundance, 235 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 6: the purpose. 236 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 4: By the grace of God, he had. 237 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 6: That childlike faith that went beyond natural reasoning, and he 238 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 6: accepted the gift. The scripture says Peter was awe struck 239 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 6: at the size of his catch. He could have gone 240 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 6: out caught a few fish, he would have been grateful. 241 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 6: He could have caught a net full of fish. That 242 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 6: would have been amazing. He'd have been so impressed. But God, 243 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 6: on purpose did something out of the ordinary, something that 244 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 6: boggled his mind. 245 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 4: He was awe struck. He didn't know what to think, 246 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 4: no wonder. He fell down thought, I'm not worthy. 247 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 6: This gift is something that I can't comprehend. This blessing 248 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 6: is bigger, greater, more than I've ever imagined. Like Peter, 249 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 6: God is going to bring some gifts across your path 250 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 6: that you've never seen, things that are going to leave 251 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 6: you awe struck, net breaking, boat sinking blessings. You'll be 252 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 6: tempted to dismiss it. I'm not worthy, I don't deserve it. 253 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 6: How could this be possible? Dare to receive the gift. 254 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 6: Let that seed take root, Let that promise get down 255 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 6: in your spirit. Abundance, overflow, healing, freedom, Joe, I don't 256 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 6: deserve it, None of us deserve it. 257 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 4: It's the gift of God. He wants to show out 258 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 4: in your life. He wants to. 259 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 6: Trust you with more resources more influence, more favor. When 260 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 6: these moments come across your path, don't push away the gift. 261 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 6: Don't talk yourself out of it. I'm not qualified. It's 262 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 6: never happened in my family. That's way over my head. 263 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 6: God will on purpose put you in situations, so you 264 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 6: have to trust him. 265 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 4: It may be over your head, but it's not over 266 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 4: his head. 267 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 6: When we were trying to find property to build a 268 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 6: new auditorium, twice the door's closed and I was kind 269 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 6: of discouraged. 270 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 4: Thinking that we were stuck. 271 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 6: There's no way we could keep growing at the other location. 272 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 6: We didn't have the room. A friend called that I 273 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 6: hadn't spoken to in a long time. He said, Joel, 274 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 6: I want to take you to lunch. It's important. We 275 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 6: went the next week. He said, I know you're looking 276 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 6: for land to build an auditorium, but there's something better. 277 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 6: The Rockets basketball team is moving out of the Compact Center. 278 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 4: You should get that building for your church. 279 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 6: When he said that, something came alive on the inside. 280 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 6: It was like an explosion went off in my spirit. 281 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 6: I was awe struck at the thought of it. Couldn't 282 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 6: even imagine something that amazing. But like Peter, my mind 283 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 6: started coming. 284 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 4: Up with excuses. 285 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 6: That's impossible. They're never going to let a church have it. 286 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,239 Speaker 6: Even if they do, jee it's gonna be too expensive. 287 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 6: You're not gonna have the funds to buy it. I 288 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 6: had to make a decision. Was I going to receive 289 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 6: the gift, let the promise take root, believe that God 290 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 6: could do exceedingly abundantly above what I could imagine. 291 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 4: Or was it going to push it away? This is 292 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 4: too good to be true. I don't deserve it. 293 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 6: I've only been ministering three years, having been the seminary. 294 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 6: How could I handle that favor, that influence. On one hand, 295 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 6: I was praying for God to do something awesome, Let 296 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 6: me help people all over the world. Then when the 297 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 6: opportunity comes, we're tempted to push it away. Now, don't 298 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 6: self sabotage the greatness. 299 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 4: God has for your life. 300 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 6: Don't let fear, unworthyness, doubt keep you from stepping. 301 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 4: Into levels you've never dreamed. 302 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 6: Peter didn't feel qualified, he felt unworthy, he had weaknesses, 303 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 6: he was inconsistent. 304 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 4: Yet God said you're going to become a rock. I'm 305 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 4: going to build my church on you. God wouldn't have 306 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 4: given you the gift. If you couldn't handle it. You 307 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 4: may not feel qualified, but he's going to train you. 308 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 4: You're not a finished product. 309 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 6: He's making you, molding you, bringing out talent that you 310 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 6: didn't know you had. Now you have to do your 311 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 6: part and receive the approval, receive the confidence, receive the favor. 312 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 6: We had some big obstacles, but God fought our battles, 313 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 6: brought down the giants, and gave us the compact center. 314 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 4: Here's my point. 315 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 6: None of this would have happened had I not had 316 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 6: a receiving mindset. You have to receive it in your 317 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 6: spirit before it will come to pass. 318 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 4: And too often we're good at receiving the negative. 319 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 6: You'll never get well, never pay your house off, your 320 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 6: child will never get back on course, you've seen your 321 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 6: best days. We think, yeah, you're probably right. Looks impossible. 322 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 6: I've made so many mistakes. Inflation is so bad. You're 323 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 6: receiving the wrong things. Start receiving what God says about you. 324 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 6: You will lend and not borrow. I receive the abundance. 325 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 6: You can do all things through Christ. I receive that strength. 326 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 6: A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at 327 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 6: your right hand, but it shall not come near you. 328 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 6: I receive that protection. You have the mind of Christ. 329 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 6: You know the right decision every time I receive that wisdom. 330 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 6: God will make you the happy mother of children. He 331 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 6: will give you the desires of your heart. 332 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 4: I receive that. Baby, we've been believing for. 333 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 6: God will do exceedingly above and beyond what you could 334 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 6: ever ask or imagine the favor. I'll receive my compact centers. 335 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 6: I received the business, I'll received the influence. I'll receive 336 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 6: the victory. It's interesting how people can put things on 337 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 6: the internet that are not true. A staff member sent 338 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 6: me this screenshot that talked about my net worth. It 339 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 6: was like a zillion dollars many many times exaggerated. They're 340 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 6: just trying to stir things up. And my friend says, 341 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 6: does that bother you? 342 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 4: Should we try to have them take it down. I said, no, 343 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 4: leave it up. I receive it. They are they are 344 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 4: prophesying my future. I have a receiving mindset. They meant 345 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 4: it for harm. They don't realize God's gonna use it 346 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 4: for good. 347 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 6: My attitude is God, let it happen show out in 348 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 6: my life. 349 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 4: See I have. 350 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 6: Everything I need, but I'll use it to build the kingdom, 351 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 6: to get the message of hope out, to build orphanages, 352 00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 6: to build hospital. Why don't you have a receiving mindset? 353 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 6: Don't push away all the good things that you're believing 354 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 6: for dare to receive it. You may not see how 355 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 6: looks unlikely. You don't have to figure it out. 356 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 4: All you have to do is believe. When you believe, 357 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 4: all things are possible. 358 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 6: When you believe, angels go to work, chains are broken, 359 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 6: favor is released, good breaks are set in motion. The 360 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 6: scripture says God has blessings stored up for the righteous. 361 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 4: There are blessings that have your name on them. 362 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 6: Businesses, houses, ministries, inventions, healing, freedom, children, spouses. 363 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 4: They already belong to you. 364 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 6: At the right time, God's going to release them. 365 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 4: The question is will you. 366 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 6: Receive those blessings you can't have and I'm unworthy mindset, 367 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 6: I don't deserve it. It's too big, I couldn't handle it. 368 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 6: That's pushing away what's stored up. Live with a receiving mentality. 369 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 6: Every morning, Lord, I receive your today. I'm on love 370 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 6: myself and I'm on love others. Lord, I receive your peace. 371 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,479 Speaker 6: I'm not gonna live stressed and worry. God, I receive 372 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 6: your mercy, fresh and new every morning. Thank you that 373 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,239 Speaker 6: you've approved. 374 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 4: Me, accepted me, and anointed me. God, I receive your healing. 375 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 6: Thank you that I'm healthy, whole, full of vitality. That 376 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 6: my youth is being renewed like the eagles or God, 377 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 6: I receive your favor. Think you that blessings are chasing 378 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 6: me down, that goodness and mercy are following me, that 379 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 6: my latter days will be better than my former days. 380 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 6: A friend of mine is very good at encouraging people. 381 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 6: You can't be around him five minutes without him complimenting you. 382 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 6: Telling you how great you are always makes you feel 383 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 6: so blessed, so uplifted. But what's interesting is for years 384 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 6: he could never receive a compliment. He always had some 385 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 6: reason to downplay it. It's like he had trained himself 386 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 6: to not feel good about who he was, to push 387 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 6: away any kind of thoughts that would build him up. 388 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 6: He would speak in front of people and I would 389 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 6: call and say, man, that was great today, that was 390 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 6: so strong. Yeah, But I got distracted and I should 391 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 6: have said this, and I left this part out. 392 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 4: He didn't realize he was self sabotaging. He was letting 393 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 4: this inner. 394 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 6: Recording keep playing You're not worthy, You're not good enough, 395 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 6: you don't deserve to be happy. 396 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 4: You have to turn that recording off and start. 397 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 6: Receiving the approval, receiving the honor, receiving the blessing. You 398 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 6: can't love others the way you should without loving yourself. 399 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,719 Speaker 6: You're supposed to feel good about who you are. You 400 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 6: compliment others, Why don't you receive the compliments. It's not 401 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 6: honoring to God to go around down on yourselves, feeling unworthy, 402 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 6: like you don't measure up. The scripture says God has 403 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 6: crowned you with his favor. You want to honor God. 404 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 6: Put your crown on shoulders back, hold your head up high, 405 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 6: and receive the honor. 406 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 4: His friend went with me to. 407 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 6: An interview I was doing on television. It was a 408 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 6: big deal and national thing, live, and I was kind 409 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 6: of nervous about it. When we got finished, we got 410 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 6: in the car and the first thing I said was 411 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 6: I did really good. I felt relieved and I thought 412 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 6: I did great. I didn't think anything about saying it, 413 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 6: but he said that moment changed his life. He realized 414 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 6: he had never complimented himself. 415 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 4: He'd never once said I did good. That's not how 416 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 4: he was raised. He was taught to show your humility. 417 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 6: You need to be down on yourself, feel like you're 418 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 6: less than. 419 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 4: Don't think too good about who you are. 420 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 6: You can't reach your destiny feeling inferior, inadequate. You have 421 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 6: enough people in life against you. 422 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 4: Don't be against yourselves. 423 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 6: You're supposed to feel good about who you are. You're 424 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 6: supposed to not only receive compliment, but learn to compliment yourself. 425 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 4: You build others up, build yourself up. 426 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 6: You tell your friends how great they are, tell yourself how. 427 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 4: Great you are. It's not being selfish, that's receiving the approval, 428 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:14,719 Speaker 4: receiving the honor. 429 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 6: When God was creating the universe, at the end of 430 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 6: each day, he stopped and said that was good. 431 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 4: He complimented himself. 432 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 6: Nobody else was around, but he said, you know what 433 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 6: I did good today. 434 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 4: He was showing us a principle. 435 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 6: Have you ever said to yourself, I did good today, 436 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 6: I worked hard today, I looked good today. I was 437 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 6: good to others today. Some people all they do is 438 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 6: find the negative. I didn't get enough done, I didn't 439 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 6: sell my diet, and I should have spent more time 440 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 6: with my children. Shouldn't have said that to my coworker. 441 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 6: They focus on their faults, their weaknesses. It's not doing 442 00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 6: anything productive to beat yourself up. Being critical towards your 443 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 6: self is not going to help you do better. You're 444 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 6: receiving the wrong things, the guilt condemnation. Do yourself a 445 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 6: favor and start being for yourself and. 446 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 4: Not against yourself. 447 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 6: The scripture says, our faith is made effective when we 448 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 6: acknowledge everything good. 449 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 4: Your faith is not effective pointing out. 450 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 6: Your flaws, focused on your shortcomings, down on yourself. 451 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 4: Peter would have never left his mark if he. 452 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 6: Had kept that unworthy, don't deserve it mentality. He had 453 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 6: to learn to receive the approval, receive the honor that 454 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 6: came from his heavenly father. When the church was first 455 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 6: starting back there in the Book of Acts, they needed 456 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 6: someone to speak at the inaugural service, very prestigious position. 457 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 6: They could have chosen one of the apostles, a religious leader, 458 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 6: an esteemed scholar, but out of all the people, they 459 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 6: chose Peter. Look at how his mentality had shifted from 460 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 6: I'm worthy, go away from me Jesus to let me step. 461 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 4: Up and start the church. 462 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 6: I'm well able, I'm strong in the Lord, I'm anointed. 463 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 6: All depends on what you're receiving. Start receiving God's approval. Lord, 464 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 6: Thank you that I'm a masterpiece. Receive his mercy. Father, 465 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 6: Thank you that your mercy is bigger than my mistakes. 466 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 6: Thank you that I'm redeemed, restored. 467 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 4: And forgiven. Receive his favor. 468 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 6: Lord, thank you that you're shining down on my life, 469 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 6: taking me where I've never dreamed. Or how about receiving 470 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 6: those net breaking blessings, blessings that leave your austra your 471 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 6: compact sinners. Lord, This seems too good to be true, 472 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 6: But I'm a believer and not a doubter. Show out 473 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 6: in my life. This is what a teenage girl in 474 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 6: the scripture did named Mary. Angel appeared to her and 475 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 6: said she was going to have a baby without knowing 476 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 6: a man, that he would be the Messiah. 477 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 4: You can imagine what went through her mind. 478 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 6: That's impossible, that defies the laws of nature. She could 479 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 6: have dismissed it walked away, but she asked the angel, 480 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 6: how can this be? The angel said, the spirit of 481 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 6: God will come on you and cause you to conceive, 482 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 6: and despite all the doubt, all the uncertainty, she looked 483 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 6: at the angel and said, be it under me. Even 484 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 6: as you have said, she was saying, this doesn't make sense, 485 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 6: it's never been done. 486 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 4: But God, I receive what you promise. Let it happen. 487 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 6: She gave birth to the Messiah. You're gonna have these times, 488 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 6: like Mary. 489 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 4: It's not gonna make sense. 490 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 6: The odds are against you. Your mind is telling you 491 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 6: no way. Don't get your hopes up. You can't get well, 492 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 6: start your business. Never have that baby. Dared to do 493 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 6: like Mary and say, God, let it happen. I'll receive 494 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 6: the abundance I received, the healing, I received, the freedom. 495 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 6: I believe this baby that we've been dreaming about is 496 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 6: on the way. 497 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 4: Let that take root in your spirit. That's what a 498 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,919 Speaker 4: god to do.
