1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joelan Victoria.

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for listening to the podcast and thanks

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: for supporting the ministry. We believe you're going to have

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: an awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive, and favor filled.

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: God bless you today and enjoy the message. Oh God

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: bless you. It's great to be with you today, and

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 2: I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media.

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: We'll keep you encouraged and inspired.

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 2: It's I like to start with something funny, and I

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: heard about this positive farmer and this negative farmer. When

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 2: it would rain, the positive farmer would say, Lord, thank

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: you for water and our crops.

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: The negative farmer would.

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: Say, yeah, but if it keeps this up, it's going

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 2: to rock the roots. It was always so negative. One

17
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: day they went bird hunting together in a boat. Positive

18
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: farmer just got a new bird dog, so proud of him,

19
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: he shot up bird, fell in the water, said to

20
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: the negative farmer, watch this. The dog jumped out of

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: the boat, ran on top of the water, picked up

22
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: the bird, ran back on top of the water, put it.

23
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: In the boat.

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: Said to the negative farmer, what'd you think? Negative farmer said,

25
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: I should have known it. That dog can't even swim.

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

27
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: I am what it says I am. I have what

28
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: it says I have. I can do what it says

29
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my

31
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 2: heart is recepted. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

32
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

33
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: about tell yourself.

34
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: A new story. We all have a story.

35
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: Of how we see ourselves and how we see our

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: future comes from how we were raised, what people have said,

37
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: our successes and failures. For some people, their story is negative.

38
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: I've been hurt too much. I can't love again. My

39
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 2: family said a disadvantage, I'll never be successful.

40
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: Have big dreams means, but I don't have the talent,

41
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the experience. You know what's stopping you your story.

42
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: You're being limited by what you're telling yourself, what you

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: believe about yourself, how you see your circumstances. The story

44
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: that you've written will override what anyone else says. It's

45
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: even more powerful than the facts. You can be incredibly gifted.

46
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: You have a great personality. But if you tell yourself

47
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 2: that your average you don't have much to offer, your

48
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: gifts won't come out like they should. Is the story

49
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: you're telling yourself keeping you from rising higher?

50
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: Why don't you tell yourself a new story?

51
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: The scripture says God is the author and finisher of

52
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: your faith.

53
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: He's the author.

54
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: Psalm one point thirty nine says all of your days

55
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: were written before you were born.

56
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: God has already written your story.

57
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: The key is to get your story in line with

58
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: his story.

59
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: God says his plans for.

60
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: You are for good, to give you a future and

61
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 2: a hope.

62
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: He calls you a.

63
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: Masterpiece, valuable, victorious, an overcomer. He said, what was meant

64
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: for harm, He's turning to your advantage. Now. You may

65
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: have been through bad breaks, things that are not fair.

66
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: The enemy would love to author your story. He would

67
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: love to rewrite what God says about you. You need

68
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: to take that pen back, cross out all those lies,

69
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: and tell yourself a new story. God says he has

70
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: beauty for those ashes, that he will pay you back

71
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: for the wrongs. You wouldn't be alive unless he had

72
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: something awesome in front of you. Don't let circumstances, what

73
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: didn't work out, what you don't think you have, convince

74
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: you to live with the wrong story. Your story is

75
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: setting the limits for your life. Now, quit telling yourself

76
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: that you'll never be successful, never get out of debt,

77
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: never meet the right person. Tell yourself a new story.

78
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: I'm made in the image of God. I'm crowned with favor.

79
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: I'm a masterpiece.

80
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: There is greatness in me.

81
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: Whatever I touch prospers and succeeds. Blessings are chasing me down.

82
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: My latter days will be better than my former days.

83
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: That's the story God has written about you. Is your

84
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: story contradicting his story? Have you let people, circumstances, doubt,

85
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: negativity rewrite your story.

86
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: Don't let someone else become the author.

87
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: Take that pen back and tell yourself a new story.

88
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: When my father went to be with the Lord, I

89
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: knew I was supposed to step up and pastor the church.

90
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: The problem was the wrong story was playing in my mind.

91
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: I'd told myself for years, I can't get up in

92
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: front of people. I was too quiet, didn't have the training,

93
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 2: the personality. I wouldn't know what to say. All these thoughts,

94
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: said Joe, look at your father. He was strong, bold,

95
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: out going, he had a lot of experience.

96
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: No one's going to listen to you.

97
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: I had to do what I'm asking you to do.

98
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: I started telling myself a new story. I went back

99
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: to the one who had written my story, the one

100
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: who breathed life into me, the one who knew me

101
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: before I was formed in my mother's womb. I said, God,

102
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to let you be the author of my story.

103
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to believe that I'm strong in the Lord

104
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: and the power of your mind. I believe I can

105
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: do all things through Christ, that I'm.

106
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: Equipped, empowered and anointed. Lord.

107
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: Think you that my gifts will come out to the

108
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: full that you've raised me up for such a time

109
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 2: as this. When you get your story in line with

110
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 2: what God says, things will happen that you.

111
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: Couldn't make happen.

112
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be up here today if I had not

113
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 2: told myself a new story, if I'd let that fear,

114
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: intimidation insecurity keep playing. Don't let the wrong story keep

115
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: you from your greatness. Well, Joel, I can't lead my department.

116
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: I can't get up in front of people.

117
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: I'm not that talented who told you that where did

118
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: that story come from? Could it be that a wrong

119
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: story is keeping you from rising higher? I can't make

120
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: a's in school. I'm not that smart. All I can

121
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 2: make or sees. You have to realize the enemy has

122
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: taken that pen.

123
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: And rewrote your story. I can't break this addiction.

124
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: I'll never get out of this neighborhood, never accomplished my dreams.

125
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: It's too late. As long as you believe that story,

126
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: it's going to become a reality. God didn't create you

127
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: to just get by survive life. He created you to excel,

128
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: to leave your mark. He said, you are to reign

129
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 2: in life. Victory starts in our mind. The scripture says,

130
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: be careful how you think, because your thoughts run your life.

131
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: Your story is setting the limits for your life. God

132
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: came to Moses after he had been living in the

133
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: desert for forty years, said Moses, go tell Pharaoh to

134
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: let my people go.

135
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: Moses said God, I.

136
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: Can't stand before Pharaoh. I stutter, have a problem with

137
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: my speech. You know I don't speak well. God said Moses,

138
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: who made your tongue?

139
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: Who made your mouth?

140
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: Do you think God would ask you to do something

141
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: and then not give you the ability to do it.

142
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: Do you think he would choose you to be here

143
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: at this time in history and not give you everything

144
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: you need to live a victorious life, to overcome obstacles,

145
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: to leave your family better than they were before. What

146
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: was Moses' problem? He had the wrong story. He was

147
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: telling himself. I'm unqualified. I'm at a disadvantage. I have

148
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: these limitations. The story you believe is the story that's

149
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: going to come to pass. When you tell God what

150
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: you can't do. God, I can't get well, you saw

151
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: the report. I can't start my business. I'm not that talented.

152
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: I can't do something significant. I come from the wrong family.

153
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: God says to you what he said to Moses. Who

154
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: made you, who wrote your story, who gave you your gifts,

155
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: who picked out your family, who lined up your good breaks,

156
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: who planned out your days? The creator of the universe,

157
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: the god who spoke worlds into existence. He's your author.

158
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 2: He's written your story. You're not doing life on your own.

159
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: Go back to what he says about you.

160
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: It's interesting. As little children, we start off with big dreams.

161
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: We're going to be an astronaut, an architect, a scientist,

162
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: a singer. Little boy told me last week that he

163
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: was going to design airplanes. He knew everything about avionics

164
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: as a child.

165
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: We have no limits.

166
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: We believe we can do great things, but over time

167
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: start to get water down. People tell us what we

168
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: can't do, go through disappointments, things that are not fair.

169
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: Life starts to rewrite our story. We let the.

170
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: Negative taint how we see ourselves, what we're capable of.

171
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: We end up settling for so much less than God

172
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: has for us. Pay attention to the story you're telling yourself.

173
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: Go back to what God put in your heart. He

174
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 2: wants you to dream again, to believe again, to love again.

175
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: Don't let a wrong story limit your destiny. Don't believe

176
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 2: that lie that says just live with the sickness, the depression.

177
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 2: I'll never get well, never go to college, never meet

178
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: the right person. Let me just make it through life.

179
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: Tell yourself a new story. You can still accomplish your dream,

180
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: you can still get well, still meet someone awesome, still

181
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 2: go to new levels. Delete that old story. Get rid

182
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: of that limited thinking. That's what's stopping the new things

183
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: God has in store. This is the mistake the Israelites made.

184
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: God brought them out of slavery parted the Red Sea

185
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: and took them toward the Promised Land.

186
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: Was a great day.

187
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: Their dreams were come into pass. They were finally free.

188
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: But the problem is they always saw themselves as former

189
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: slaves at a disadvantage. We've been through too much. Every

190
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 2: time they faced opposition, they complained they were afraid. At

191
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: the Promised Land. God told them he would give them

192
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: the victory. But they said, Moses, the people are too big.

193
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: We don't have a chance. Let's go back to Egypt.

194
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: Let's go back to being slaves. Notice how powerful a

195
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 2: wrong story is. After being in slavery, mistreated, abused, they said,

196
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: we want to go back to that same environment. They

197
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: came out of Egypt, but never came out of them.

198
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: If you don't change the story you'll tell in yourself,

199
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: you'll go back to things that don't make sense. God

200
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: delivered them from the Pharaoh. He brought water out of

201
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: a rock. They saw firsthand. His awesome power. Seems so logical,

202
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: so easy for them to say, this is a new day.

203
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: God has done great things. We're free.

204
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: Let's go into the Promised Land. Instead, they kept that

205
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: slave mentality. The story they told themselves was We'll always

206
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: be defeated.

207
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: This is our lot in life.

208
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: I love the fact that the children of these Israelites

209
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: had a different story. Their attitude was, we've seen the suffering,

210
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: being mistreated, wandering through the desert. That may be what

211
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: our parents accepted, but that is not our story.

212
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: We're going to go into the Promised Land. We're going

213
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: to eat the fruit.

214
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: We're going to live in houses we didn't build and

215
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 2: enjoy the blessings God has in.

216
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: Store for us.

217
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: Their parents saw themselves as former slaves. These children saw

218
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 2: themselves as sons and daughters of the Most High God,

219
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: not at a disadvantage, but surrounded by favor. Forty years earlier,

220
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 2: their parents turned around from the Promised Land wandered in

221
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 2: the desert. Now these children went into that same land,

222
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: defeated the opposition, and lived there in a place of abundance.

223
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: The difference was the story they told themselves. Their parents

224
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: could have gone in, they could have enjoyed years of

225
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 2: God's favor, but they let their doubts, their fears, their

226
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 2: opposition rewrite their story.

227
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: Don't do like these parents. Don't let a wrong story.

228
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: What you've been through, what looks too big, what hasn't happened.

229
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 2: Convince you that you can't defeat your giants. You can't

230
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: accomplish your dream. You can't be healthy, successful, fulfilled. The

231
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 2: enemy got your pen. He's altering the story God wrote

232
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: for you. Get that pen back, Cross out all those lies.

233
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: This is what my father did. The story he was

234
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: told growing up, the story he saw model was we're poor,

235
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: we'll never do anything significant. The odds are against us.

236
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: His parents were farmers. They lost everything in the Great Depression.

237
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: They were doing their best to survive. I understand tough

238
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: times come. Life can throw us curves. You may be

239
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: in poverty, but don't ever let poverty get in you.

240
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: Don't develop a poor mindset where all you believe for

241
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: is just enough to get by. Don't accept that as

242
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: your destiny. God has an abundant life for you. He

243
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: knows how to make streams in the desert, how to

244
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: bring you out of struggle and lack, give you a

245
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: bountiful life. Maybe you need to change the story that

246
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: you're telling your seventeen years old, my father gave his

247
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: life to Christ, the first one in his family.

248
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: He had no money. He had to drop out of.

249
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: High school to work on the farm, no future to

250
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: speak of, but something came alive on the inside. He

251
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: made a decision at seventeen that his children would never

252
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: be raised in the poverty and lack that he was

253
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: raised in.

254
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: What happened.

255
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,239
Speaker 2: He started telling himself a new story instead of you're stuck.

256
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: In this environment.

257
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: You'll never get ahead, never make anything out of your life.

258
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: His attitude was, I'm destined to do great things. The

259
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: favor of God is on my life, opening doors. No

260
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: person can shock, taking me where I can't go on

261
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: my own. He felt God calling him to become a minister.

262
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: He told his parents he was going to leave the

263
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: farm and go out and start speaking. They said, John,

264
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: all you know how to do is work on the farm.

265
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: You better stay here with us. You're going to get

266
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: out there and fail. They meant well, but you can't

267
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 2: let other.

268
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: People put their story on you.

269
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: Don't let their defeat, their negativity, their limited vision keep

270
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: you from believing that you can rise higher.

271
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: People are not the author of your story. God is.

272
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: He called you, He anointed you, He put the dreams

273
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 2: in you. Other people may not understand. They may try

274
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: to talk you into watering down your dream. Keep the

275
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: right story playing in your mind. My father left that day,

276
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: and that started a journey that was more fulfilling and

277
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: more rewarding than he ever imagined. He ministered for over

278
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: fifty years and saw God's favor in amazing ways. Maybe,

279
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: like my father, the environment you were raised in has

280
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: tainted your story.

281
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: The people you.

282
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: Grew up around, who you're with now, don't believe or

283
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: much accept mediocrity. You have to be the one to

284
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: break out of the Don't let that negative story limit

285
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: your life. That was fine for them, But this is

286
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: a new day.

287
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: God wants you to go further.

288
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: He has things in your future that are much greater

289
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 2: than you can imagine.

290
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: Now get in agreement with him.

291
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: Quit telling yourself that you're limited. You've gone as far

292
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: as you can. You'll always struggle. Now tell yourself a

293
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: new story. Have an abundant mentality. Lord, thank you that

294
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: my cup runs over, that I live under the open

295
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: windows of heaven. That you take pleasure in prospering me,

296
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: that I will leave an inheritance to my children's children.

297
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: I read about this bear.

298
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: He had been raised in a twelve foot by twelve

299
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: foot cage all of his life, since he was a

300
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: little common During the day, he would pace back and forth,

301
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: back and forth hours at a time. One day he

302
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: was discovered by the authorities. They made arrangements for him

303
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: to be taken to a zoom was a large area

304
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: with big pools of water, rocks to climb on, green

305
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: grass everywhere you look. It's like a dream setting. They

306
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: transported to the bear and opened the cage so excited,

307
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: but the bear wouldn't get out of the cage. They

308
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: had to push him into the green grass. They thought

309
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: eventually hit take off running, exploring the new surroundings. But

310
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 2: all the bear ever did was walk in a twelve

311
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: foot square, never went to the pools, never climbed the rocks,

312
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 2: never played with the other bears. He got out of

313
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 2: the cage, but the cage never.

314
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: Got out of him.

315
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 2: His story was I'm stuck, I'm limited, I can't go

316
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 2: any further, when the truth is he had a whole

317
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: field to play in.

318
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: The story you tell yourself is very powerful.

319
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: How we were raised, what we saw, modeled the environment

320
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 2: we're in, can create these boundaries in our mind where

321
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: we adapt to what's around us, even though God has

322
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 2: all kinds of amazing things in store.

323
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: If you tell yourself that you've reached your limits.

324
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: You can't get well, can't accomplish a dream like that bear,

325
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 2: You'll miss the fullness of your destiny. The story you

326
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: tell yourself is the story that's going to come to pass.

327
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 2: My encouragement is the cage is open. God has a

328
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: big life for you. Favor opportunities, great relationships. Get in

329
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 2: agreement with him. Tell yourself a new story. You don't

330
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 2: have to figure out how it's going to happen.

331
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: All you have to do is believe.

332
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: March chapter five, there was this lady that had been

333
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: sick for twelve years. She'd gone to the best doctors,

334
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: spent all of her money, but nothing at help. The

335
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: story she was telling herself was this sickness is permanent.

336
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: It's nothing else I can do. It's just bad luck.

337
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: She continued to go downhill. One day she heard that.

338
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: Jesus was passing through her town. Despite how she felt,

339
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 2: despite the circumstances, she told herself a new story.

340
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: She said, when I touched the edge of this robe,

341
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to be healed. The scripture says.

342
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: She kept saying to herself, I'm going to get well.

343
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: Healing is coming. Things are about to change. She deleted

344
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 2: her old story and started telling herself a new story.

345
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: Faith began to rise in her heart, and she kept saying,

346
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 2: healing is coming. She began to make her way through

347
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 2: the crowd. When she touched his robe, instantly she was healed.

348
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: Like this, lady, you may have a good reason to

349
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 2: have a negative story. You're facing a challenge and your health,

350
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: your finances or relationships. It's easy to let defeated thoughts.

351
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: Can't do it, Thoughts, it's never going to work out.

352
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 2: Thoughts play in your mind. That's when you have to

353
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: do like her, dig down deep and say no, I'm

354
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 2: deleting this story.

355
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: I will be the exception. I will get well.

356
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 2: I will see my family restored. I will break this addiction.

357
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 2: I will lend and not borrow. I will accomplish my dream.

358
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: Give God something to work with. You can't have an

359
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 2: old story and see the new things he wants to do.

360
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 2: Many times, our story is limiting us. What we're telling ourselves.

361
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 2: We're looking at it in the natural. But God is supernatural.

362
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: This is what faith is all about. That's why God

363
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: said to Moses, who made your tongue? He was saying, Moses,

364
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 2: you're looking at it only with your ability. Don't you

365
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 2: realize I have all power. I created the universe. Nothing

366
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: can stop my plan from coming to past. God has

367
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: already written your story. Yes there will be ups and downs,

368
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: challenges and victories, but there's nothing you'll come up against

369
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 2: that He doesn't already have a solution. He won't let

370
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 2: you get in a problem that he can't bring you

371
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: out of. The key is to not let that wrong

372
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: story take root in difficult times when.

373
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: Nothing is changing. It's taken longer than your thought.

374
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 2: It's tempting to get discouraged, bitter water down your dreams.

375
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 2: You have to keep telling yourself this is not permanent.

376
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 2: It didn't come to stay, it came to pass. I'm

377
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: an overcomer. God always causes me to triumph. This is

378
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: not going to stop me. Victory is headed my way.

379
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: There was an.

380
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: Experiment done with the high school in California. The principal

381
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: told three teachers, since they were the most effective teachers

382
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 2: in the district, they had the highest ratings, they were

383
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: chosen for a new program. Out of thousands of students.

384
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: They were going to take the top ninety students, the smartest,

385
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: most talented, with the highest IQ and put them in

386
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 2: a class with these teachers. They could teach them at

387
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: a faster pace. The teachers and students were so excited

388
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 2: knowing that they were the brightest in the school. At

389
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: the end of the school year, these three classes had

390
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 2: learned thirty percent more than the other students.

391
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: They were thirty percent further.

392
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: Along in math, reading, and science. It was a huge success.

393
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: The principle then informed the teachers that they didn't have

394
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: the top ninety students in the district.

395
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: They had simply randomly chosen these students.

396
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 2: The teachers felt really good about themselves, thinking they were

397
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 2: so smart they had done such an awesome job. Then

398
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 2: the principle informed the teachers that they weren't the most

399
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 2: effective teachers. They were randomly chosen out of a half.

400
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 2: The point is when you tell yourself a different story,

401
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 2: when you tell yourself that you're made in the image

402
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: of God, smart, talented, favored, wise, you're going to see

403
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: new levels of your destiny. You may not realize it.

404
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 2: But the only people we allow in Lakewood we have

405
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: a very strict policy. The only ones we allow online

406
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: serious exem are the smartest, healthiest, most creative, most attractive,

407
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 2: most generous, most valuable, most blessed people. We have great

408
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: confidence in you. We see you the way God sees you.

409
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 2: The only thing that's holding some people back is the

410
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 2: story that they're telling themselves. Well, I'm not that talented.

411
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: I'm not as smart as my cousin. I can't run

412
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: a business like my friend. I can't write books like

413
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: you do. Joel, who knows what you can do? If

414
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 2: you'll start seeing yourself differently, I'll tell you something funny

415
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 2: about me. Every since I started ministering over twenty years ago,

416
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 2: every time I get up to speak wherever I go,

417
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 2: I think to myself, everyone here loves me, Everyone here

418
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: thinks I'm great. I know I'm naive. I know everyone doesn't.

419
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: But that's the story I tell myself. Do me a favor,

420
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 2: leave me in my ignorance. That's a lot better than

421
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 2: getting up insecure, intimidated. I don't think they're gonna like me.

422
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 2: They're not gonna listen to me.

423
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: I hope I'm not boring them.

424
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 2: The story I tell myself is, Joel, you're anointed, you're favored,

425
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 2: you're blessed. I don't say that arrogantly, but in humility,

426
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 2: The story you need to tell yourself is God breathed

427
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 2: his life into me.

428
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm a masterpiece. I have something great to offer this world.

429
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

430
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: Most of you are wonderfully made.

431
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 2: My brother, Paul, he was fearfully made. You can't reach

432
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: your destiny discounting yourself, seeing everyone else is smarter, greater, prettier.

433
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: Can I tell you you're awesome? You're talented, you have

434
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 2: a great personality.

435
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: You're gonna do something amazing.

436
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 2: If you don't believe in yourself, it's going to limit

437
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 2: your life. Sometimes we have a false sense of humility.

438
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: Everyone else is great. It's just little o' me.

439
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: No God hand pitch you. He chose you to be here.

440
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: He crowned you with favor, He put gifts in you.

441
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 2: Your fingerprints are like no one else's. You're a designer's original. No,

442
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: you're not better than anyone else, but you're not less

443
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 2: than anyone else.

444
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: Tell yourself a new story.

445
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 2: I am valuable, I am favored, I am attractive. I

446
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: have a great personality. People like being around me. You

447
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: have enough people in life against you. Don't be against yourself.

448
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 2: Are you telling yourself the right story, Joel, I stutter.

449
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 2: I have this weakness. So did Moses, who made your tongue.

450
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: Do you think a limitation is going to keep you

451
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 2: from your destiny, that God somehow short changed you, that

452
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: you're lacking in some area, not a chance. Well, I

453
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: have this sickness, this addiction, this problem at work. I'm

454
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 2: not saying deny it, act like it's not there. But

455
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 2: like the lady with the issue of blood, tell yourself

456
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 2: a new story. Healing is coming, freedom is coming, breakthroughs

457
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 2: are coming.

458
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: Like that bear.

459
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: Are you living with a limited mentality because of how

460
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: you were raised or the environment you're in Now, I'm

461
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: here to tell you the door is wide open. God

462
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 2: has awesome things in your future. Make sure your story lines.

463
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: Up with his story, because the.

464
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 2: Story you tell yourself is the story that's going to

465
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 2: come to pass. If you'll do this, I believe and declare,

466
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 2: like the children of the Israelites, you're going to go

467
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: into the Promised Land.

468
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 1: You're going to see favor.

469
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 2: Overcome obstacles, accomplish dreams, and reach the fullness of your

470
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: destiny in Jesus's name.

471
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: And if you receive it, can you say amen?

472
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus

473
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: the Lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

474
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: Just say, Lord, Jesus, come into my heart.

475
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: I repent of my sins. I make you my Lord

476
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: and Savior.

477
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

478
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,239
Speaker 2: born again. Love to send you some free information on

479
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 2: your new walk with the Lord. You can text the

480
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 2: number there or go to the website. I hope you'll

481
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: get into a good Bible based church and keep God

482
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 2: first place.

483
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 3: Sometimes the circumstances of life can be overwhelmingly negative. What

484
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 3: should we do when we experience these kinds of negative

485
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 3: reports and realities.

486
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: Our life is like a container. It can only hold

487
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: so much. When we allow negative things in, like worry, guilt,

488
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 2: and unforgiveness, that's taking up space for the good things

489
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 2: that belong to you. That's why I wrote my book

490
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 2: Empty Out the Negative. I'll show you how to get

491
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 2: rid of what's limiting you so you can live a victorious,

492
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 2: fulfilled life.

493
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 4: When you make room for joy, peace and faith, God

494
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 4: will feel you afresh.

495
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 3: And a news as our way of saying thank you

496
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,520

498
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: Empty out the negative, empty out fear, and replace it

499
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 3: with faith.

500
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 5: My doctor, he said, I went in there and there

501
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 5: is no cancer in your body.

502
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 3: Empty out a hurt filled childhood, and replace it with confidence.

503
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 4: So I took what Joel said and I physically replace

504
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 4: them with I am strong, I am worthy.

505
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: I started saying those over and over and over.

506
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 3: Empty out broken relationships and find renewed love.

507
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 5: In a world that's just so full of so much

508
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 5: noise and negativity and hatred. And just to come and

509
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 5: have so much encouragement filled into you know, is something

510
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 5: I've never had in my whole life.

511
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: Are you holding onto things that are weighing you down?

512
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: It's time to empty that out so you can live

513
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: a positive faith billed line.
