He 44 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 3: asked his father about borrowing the car. The dad said, son, 45 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 3: I'll make a deal with you. If you bring your 46 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: grades up, read your Bible every day, and cut your hair, 47 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 3: I'll let you borrow it. He came back a few 48 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 3: weeks later, asking about it again. The dad said, son, 49 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 3: you brought your grades up, you've been reading your Bible, 50 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 3: but you still haven't cut your hair. He said, dad, 51 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: I've been thinking about it. Moses had long hair, Samson 52 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: had long hair. Even Jesus had long hair. The dad said, yes, Son, 53 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 3: and they walked everywhere they went, say it like you 54 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 55 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 3: says I am. I have what it says I have. 56 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: I can do what it says I can do. Today 57 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 3: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly can. 58 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 59 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 3: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 60 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 3: I want to talk to you today about healing words. 61 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 3: Our words have the power to lift people, to help 62 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 3: them get through a challenge, to push them into their destinies. 63 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 3: When you tell someone I love you, I'm proud of you. 64 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 3: You did great on that project. You're not just being kind. 65 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 3: Those are healing words. We don't know what people are 66 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: going through. They may smile on the outside, but on 67 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 3: the inside, they're hurting. They're lonely, they're discouraged. Many people 68 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: have wounds from the past, wounds from a relationship that 69 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: didn't work out, wounds from people trying to push them down. 70 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: Just a simple word of encouragement. I believe in you. 71 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 3: I'm praying for you, A simple compliment. You look beautiful today. 72 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: It's no big deal to you, but to them, it's 73 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: helping heal the wounds. It's lifting their spirits, it's causing 74 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 3: them to believe in themselves. Your words can be what 75 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 3: keeps them moving forward. God puts people in our lives 76 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 3: on purpose, so we can bring healing. The security guard 77 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 3: at the office, don't just pass by him every day 78 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 3: for the next twenty years. Take a moment to bless 79 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 3: him with your words. You don't have to spend ten minutes, 80 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 3: just as simple. Great to see you today. I appreciate 81 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 3: you taking care of us. You just spoke a blessing 82 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 3: over his life, letting people know that your care does 83 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 3: more than you imagine. Because we live in a society 84 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: that's filled with a lot of negative chatter through the Internet, 85 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 3: social media. It's becoming normal to be disrespectful. People think 86 00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 3: nothing of being condescending, saying hurtful, critical things. More than ever, 87 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 3: people need your healing words. You have the power to 88 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 3: put someone on their feet. You have the power to 89 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: keep them from falling into depression. You have the power 90 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 3: to cause them to pursue their dreams. But without your blessing, 91 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 3: without your encouragement, your compliments, they won't become what they 92 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 3: should become. Don't miss these opportunities. Don't be too caught 93 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 3: up in your career, in your challenges. Take time to 94 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: be a healer, to be a lifter. God needs you. 95 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: He has no voice to encourage on this earth except 96 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 3: your voice. He's counting on you to help heal the 97 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 3: people in your life. When somebody does something good for me, 98 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 3: when they're kind, I'm grateful, of course I tell them 99 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: thank you. But when somebody does something good for my children, 100 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 3: when they go out of their way to help them 101 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 3: in a time of need. As a parent, there's nothing 102 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 3: I won't do for them. That's the way God is. 103 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: When you go out of your way to bless one 104 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 3: of his children, when you make it your business to 105 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 3: encourage the coworker that's down, when you stop by to 106 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 3: see the friend that's not feeling well, When you call 107 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 3: your relative just to say that you love them because 108 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 3: you're taking care of his children. God will make sure 109 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 3: somebody is always there to take care of you, to 110 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 3: bring healing, to bring encouragement, to show your favor. Those 111 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 3: are seeds that you're sowing. And look around at who's 112 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 3: in your life. The clerk at the grocery store, the 113 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 3: attendant at the gas station, the friend at the gym. 114 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 3: They're not there by accident. They need what you have. 115 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 3: They need encouragement, they need affirmation. They need to know 116 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 3: that you believe in them. Don't keep the healing to 117 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 3: yourself free with your compliments. A blessing is not a 118 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 3: blessing until it's spoken your thoughts. Don't bless anybody. You 119 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 3: can think well of your friend all day long, but 120 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 3: if you never tell them, they'll never know. When I 121 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 3: see Victoria, many times I think she is so beautiful, 122 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: but it's easy for me to think she knows she's beautiful. 123 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 3: People have been telling her she's beautiful her whole life. 124 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 3: I told her last week she's beautiful. She doesn't need 125 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: to hear it again. I've learned, even though she knows it, 126 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 3: tell her anyway. Do you know she has never once 127 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: said to me, joel quit telling me I'm beautiful. I 128 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 3: know I'm beautiful. My parents told me as a child. 129 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 3: No matter how many times you complimented a person, when 130 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 3: that thought comes up, tell them again, that's God bringing 131 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 3: it up. You don't know what they're going through. You 132 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 3: don't know the battles they're fighting, the people trying to 133 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: push this down. God wouldn't have brought it up if 134 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: he didn't want you to tell them. These days, it's 135 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 3: easier than ever. If they're not there in person, you 136 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 3: can send them a text. Hey, I want you to 137 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 3: know I love you and I think you're beautiful. The 138 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 3: scripture says, a gentle tongue brings healing. When we think 139 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: of healing, many times we think of praying for people 140 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 3: for healing, and yes, that's one way. But what I 141 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 3: want us to see is your words have healing. When 142 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 3: you're kind, when you're encouraging, when you don't just think 143 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 3: something good, but you verbalize it, you'll be in a healer. 144 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 3: It's amazing what one kind word can do. We don't 145 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 3: think anything about it, but to the other person, it 146 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 3: breathes life into their spirit. A few years ago, Victoria 147 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 3: was walking down the hallway after a service. On her 148 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 3: way upstairs, there were hundreds of people in the hallways, 149 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 3: very crowded. A young lady came passing by going the 150 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 3: other direction. Victoria happened to notice her. She stopped her 151 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 3: and said, you are so beautiful. Just a five second 152 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 3: conversation and they moved on. No big deal. It seemed 153 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: like that Victoria was just being nice, just being kind. 154 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 3: But God wouldn't have given you that compliment. He wouldn't 155 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 3: have put that thought in you if the other person 156 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: didn't need it. You may not know them, it may 157 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 3: not make sense to you, but God knows what he's doing. 158 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 3: There's a reason they need your healing. If you saw 159 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 3: someone that was sick, they were fighting in illness, and 160 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 3: you had the cure, you had the medicine that would 161 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 3: cause them to get well, you would be quick to 162 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: get it to them. You go over as fast as 163 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,719 Speaker 3: you could. Here, take this right now. I don't want 164 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 3: you to suffer anymore. That's the way you need to 165 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 3: see your compliments, your kind words. You're in encouragement. It's 166 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 3: the healing that people need. Don't withhold it, don't try 167 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 3: to reason it out. Well, they look like they're doing fine, joy, 168 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 3: they don't need my encouragement. You're looking on the outside. 169 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 3: You don't know what's happening on the inside. I've learned 170 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 3: everyone is going through something, even the people that look 171 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 3: like they have it all together, that are so happy, 172 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 3: so blessed, so strong. Can I tell you they don't 173 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 3: have it all together. There's always something that they're dealing with. 174 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 3: A couple of months later, this young lady showed up 175 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 3: in the visitor's reception. She said to me, Victoria will 176 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 3: never know what she did for me that day. She 177 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 3: told how she had gone through a bitter divorce. She 178 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 3: felt so unattractive, so beaten down. Every voice told her 179 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 3: she wasn't worth anything, that she would never love again. 180 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 3: She said. When Victoria looked me in the eye and 181 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 3: said you were so beautiful, it was like strongholds were 182 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 3: broken in my mind. All of a sudden, that depression 183 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 3: lifted off of her. She had a new perspective. She realized, 184 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 3: I'm still beautiful, I'm still a child of the most 185 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 3: time God, I'm still fearfully and wonderfully made. For the 186 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,239 Speaker 3: next couple of months, anytime she was tempted to be discouraged, 187 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 3: she would replay that phrase over and over. You are 188 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 3: so beautiful. We don't understand the power of a simple compliment, 189 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 3: the power of I believe in you. You're going to 190 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 3: make it great. Things are in store. Victoria thought she 191 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 3: was just being kind. She didn't realize there were healing 192 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 3: in her words. God had already ordained those words to 193 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 3: help push that young lady past the hurts, pass the 194 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 3: injustice into the new beginning the god Head in store. 195 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 3: And your words may seem ordinary to you, but when 196 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 3: God breathes on them, they become extraordinary to the other person. 197 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: Somebody today needs your healing words. Somebody won't get past 198 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 3: the depression without you speaking blessings over them. Somebody will 199 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 3: give up on a dream, They'll get talked out of 200 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 3: God's best unless you step up and encourage them. Will 201 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 3: you be a healer? Will you use your words to 202 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 3: lift people? Proverbs eighteen says our words can be life 203 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 3: giving water. I found people are thirsty, They've gone through heartaches, 204 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 3: they've been beaten down in life. We have something to 205 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 3: offer them. Our words can help heal the hurts. Be 206 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 3: aware of who's in your life. Be sensitive to what 207 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 3: you're feeling down in here. Take time to let people 208 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 3: know that you care. In my early twenties, a young 209 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 3: man started coming up to the gym to play basketball 210 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 3: with us. He was a loner. He was very unfriendly, 211 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 3: very cold. He never talked even during the games. He 212 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 3: wouldn't interact with us, and most of the guys just 213 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 3: ignored him. But something down in here told me to 214 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 3: reach out to him and make him feel welcome. I 215 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 3: found out that his name was Bo. When he would 216 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 3: come into the gym, I would go over and say, hey, Bo, 217 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 3: it's great to see you today. He never said anything. 218 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 3: He just hit his chest twice and walked away. I 219 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 3: didn't know what that meant, but I hit my chest 220 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 3: twice and walked away. This went on for several years. 221 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 3: I saw him four or five times a week. Well, 222 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 3: I stopped playing basketball there and I hadn't seen Bou 223 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 3: in over twenty years. One Sunday he showed up at church. 224 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 3: I saw him. Afterwards, I thought, where do I know 225 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 3: this guy from? He said, I'm Bou. We used to 226 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 3: play basketball together. That's the most I'd ever heard him talk. 227 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 3: He went on to tell how he grew up in 228 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 3: the projects. At fourteen, he started living on his own. 229 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 3: Nobody wanted him. He never felt loved or accepted. He said. 230 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 3: One of the main reasons I went up to the 231 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 3: gym was to hear you say great to see you today, 232 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 3: because nobody had told me that they were glad to 233 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 3: see me. I didn't know it at the time, but 234 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 3: Bau was thirsty. Those simple words letting him know that 235 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 3: I cared were like life giving water. Today bo is married. 236 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 3: He introduced me to his children. He's setting a new 237 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 3: standard for his family. What am I saying? Nobody is 238 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 3: in your life by accident. Don't ignore what you feel 239 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 3: on the inside, that compassion to encourage them, that desire 240 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 3: to be their friend. They're thirsty. You have the water. 241 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 3: Take time to make them feel loved. Doesn't have to 242 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 3: be something big. Just good to see you. I believe 243 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 3: in you. I'm praying for you. Just let them know 244 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 3: that you care. We're so busy these days. We've got 245 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 3: our own challenges. If we're not careful, we'll pass right 246 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 3: by the thirsty people. There's no greater feeling than to 247 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 3: give them water. Nothing is more rewarding than to help 248 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 3: someone else rise higher. And when we come to the 249 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 3: end of life, we can be known for a lot 250 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 3: of things. We were successful in our career. Joel had 251 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 3: a big church, she was talented. They lived in a 252 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 3: nice place. That's all good, nothing wrong with that. But 253 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 3: I'd rather people say about me. Joel was a healer. 254 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 3: He lifted me when I was down. He encouraged me 255 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 3: when I felt stuck. He told me I could accomplish 256 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 3: dreams that I never thought I could accomplish. Where are 257 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 3: the healers? Where are the lifters? There are enough people 258 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 3: saying negative, critical, judgmental words. Our attitude should be who 259 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 3: can I bless today? Who can I help heal? Who 260 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: can I feel better about themselves? Why don't you start 261 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 3: with your own family? How long has it been since 262 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 3: you've told the people in your life? I love you, 263 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 3: I'm glad you're mine. Don't let a stranger compliment your 264 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 3: spouse more than you do. Don't let a coach, a teacher, 265 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 3: a friend make your children feel more special than you do. 266 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 3: Every day. Bless your children with your words. Tell them 267 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 3: how proud you are of them, Tell them what they 268 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 3: can become, call out their seeds of greatness, remind them 269 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 3: that they're made in the image of Almighty God, that 270 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 3: they are full of potential, that they're supposed to go 271 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 3: further than you, that the anointing is increasing with each generation. 272 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 3: They have so much to deal with these days, the 273 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 3: social chatter, all the bullying, the hurtful words. But when 274 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 3: you tell your child I love you, I'm blessed to 275 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 3: have you as my child, that's not only helping to 276 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 3: heal the wounds, but that's protecting them. That's what causes 277 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 3: those hurtful words to bounce off of them. The more 278 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 3: people speak negative over you and your family, your friends, 279 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 3: the more you need to speak these positive, faith filled, 280 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 3: healing words. Growing up in our family, there were five 281 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 3: of us children. When it was one of our birthdays, 282 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 3: my mother had a special tradition at dinner time, we 283 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 3: all had to say one good thing about the person 284 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 3: that was having a verse. I didn't like doing that. 285 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 3: I wasn't used to expressing my feelings, especially when it 286 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 3: was my brother Paul's birthday and it took me thirty 287 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 3: minutes to think of something good. But I thought, Mama, 288 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 3: they know I love them. They know they're special, they 289 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 3: know they're beautiful. But my thoughts weren't blessing anybody. My 290 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 3: thoughts weren't bringing healing. I realize now my parents weren't 291 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 3: just doing that to make the birthday person feel special. 292 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 3: That was one reason, But they were teaching us the 293 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 3: importance of speaking the blessing, of verbalizing what we liked, 294 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 3: of being free with our compliments. I wouldn't be standing 295 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 3: here without all the people that have spoken the blessing 296 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 3: over my life. So many people have told me I 297 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 3: could do things I never dreamed I could do. I 298 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 3: had a coach my freshman year of high school. I 299 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 3: was very small, about six inches shorter than average. They 300 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 3: called me peanut. I was on the Hey don't laugh, 301 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 3: I was on the basketball team. And of course in 302 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 3: high school there were a lot more kids than junior high. 303 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 3: It was a lot more competitive. I was a little intimidated, 304 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 3: thinking how am I going to play basketball with all 305 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 3: these bigger guys. One day I was walking down the 306 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 3: hallway at school with some of my friends on the 307 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 3: basketball team. My coach called me over. He's a big 308 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 3: tough guy. He said, hey, Peanut, come over here. That 309 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 3: didn't make me feel too confident. He called me peanut too. 310 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 3: All my friends were standing around watching. He leaned down 311 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 3: to my level. He said, listen to here, Peanut. You 312 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 3: may be small, but you have a big heart, and 313 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 3: you're going to do great this year. In fact, you're 314 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 3: going to be my starting point guard. When he said that, 315 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 3: I felt ten feet tall, I went out and played 316 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 3: like I was Michael Jordan. I'm white. I still can't jump, 317 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 3: but I'm fast. But my coach, he didn't have to 318 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 3: say that. He could have just thought it, or he 319 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 3: could have told me in private. But when you compliment 320 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 3: someone in front of people, it carries more weight. It's magnified. 321 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,479 Speaker 3: And yes, there are times you need to do it 322 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 3: in private, but when you can speak a blessing in public. 323 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 3: After all, a lot of people don't have any problem 324 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 3: saying negative things in front of people. Why don't you 325 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 3: spread some good things about the people you love. Use 326 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 3: your words to help push them into their destinies, to 327 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 3: encourage them to pursue their dreams, to let them know 328 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 3: that you believe in them. So many times you can 329 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 3: see things in people that they can't see in themselves. 330 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 3: Your blessing, your encouragement, can be what causes them to 331 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 3: step up to who they were created to be. Your 332 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 3: destiny is connected to the people God's put in your life. 333 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 3: If you're going to reach your foot old potential, this 334 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 3: is not an option. Look around. Who can you bless? 335 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 3: Who can you help heal? Who can you show favor to? Well? Joel, 336 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 3: as soon as my husband starts doing what I want 337 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 3: him to do, then I'll start encouraging him. Then I'll 338 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 3: compliment him. Here's the key. If you'll quit nagging him 339 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 3: for what he's doing wrong and start praising him for 340 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 3: what he's doing right, then he'll begin to change. People 341 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 3: respond to praise, not criticism, not being naged, not being berated. 342 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 3: The scripture even says it is better to live in 343 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 3: the desert than with a nagging wife. Can I expand it? 344 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 3: A nagging husband, a nagging friend, a nagging neighbor, don't 345 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 3: be a nagger. Nobody wants to be around somebody. It's 346 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 3: always harping on them, pointing out what's wrong, finding fault. 347 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 3: I heard a saying some people are like clouds. When 348 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 3: they disappear, it's a beautiful day. We should be so 349 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 3: full of encouragement, so full of compliments, that. People want 350 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 3: to be around us. They're glad to see us coming. 351 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 3: Not turn around and head off toward the desert. Ladies, 352 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 3: instead of nagging your husband, why don't you mow the lawn? 353 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 3: Can't you see how high the grass is? Next time, 354 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 3: try a different approach. When you see him out there 355 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 3: mowing it, Tell him how strong he is, how muscular 356 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 3: he looks, and what a great physique you have. You 357 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 3: are so handsome. You brag on him like that, he'll 358 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 3: mow the lawn every day. Praise, encouragement, honor. That's what 359 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 3: people respond to. A man opened his front door one 360 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 3: morning and he was about to go out and get 361 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 3: his newspaper, but the dog from across the street was 362 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 3: sitting on his front porch with his newspaper in his mouth. 363 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 3: The men was pleasantly surprised he didn't have to walk 364 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 3: out to the curb to get it. He started petting 365 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 3: the dog and praising him. He even went in and 366 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 3: got a treat, came back and brought it to the dog. 367 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,479 Speaker 3: The next morning, the man opened his front door and 368 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 3: there were eight newspapers on his front porch. The dog 369 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 3: had gone from house to house picking up the different 370 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 3: newspapers like that animal. We respond to praise. I have 371 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 3: these friends that had been coming to Lakewood my whole 372 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 3: life since it started. They're my parents' age, and they've 373 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 3: always been very supportive. And they used to sit on 374 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 3: the front road during the early service before the wife 375 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 3: went to be with the Lord. After our prayer time. 376 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 3: I would always go over, give her a hug and 377 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 3: tell her that I loved her. She would always tell 378 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 3: me how proud she was of me and how handsome 379 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 3: I was. Anytime I saw her, I made sure to 380 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 3: go say hi. She thought I was just coming over 381 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 3: to tell her I loved her. She didn't realize I 382 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 3: was coming to see if I was still handsome. Later 383 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,959 Speaker 3: in life, she's way up in her eighties, she started 384 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 3: having some dementia. Wasn't real clear in all of her thinking. 385 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 3: Didn't matter to me. As long as she told me 386 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 3: I was handsome, I knew she was. Okay. What am 387 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 3: I saying? Everyone needs encouragement. Everyone needs somebody that's cheering 388 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 3: them on, Somebody that sees the best, somebody that tells 389 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 3: you you're still handsome. You can be that person for 390 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 3: the people in your life. You can be the one 391 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 3: they count on the one that doesn't find fault, the 392 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 3: one that has healing words, words that uplift, words that encourage. 393 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 3: If there are no compliments in your home, no praise, 394 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 3: no encouragement. If it's all nagging, why don't you do better? 395 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 3: That other person is not going to want to come home. 396 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 3: The reason I went to see my friend every time 397 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 3: she was there is because she lifted me, She fueled me, 398 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 3: she made me want to do better. Why don't you 399 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 3: start doing that in your home. You can change the atmosphere. 400 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 3: You can bring healing to a relationship. It starts with 401 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 3: your words, by blessing your spouse, blessing your children, complimenting them. 402 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 3: I love you, I'm proud of you, I'm glad you're 403 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 3: in my life. Compliments are the glue that hold a 404 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 3: relationship together. They have enough people already pushing them down, 405 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 3: the accusers, already telling them everything they're not. Why don't 406 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 3: you use your words to build them up, to tell 407 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 3: them what they can become, to make them feel better 408 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 3: about themselves. My mother had polio when she was a child. 409 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 3: She had to wear braces on her legs. Now one 410 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 3: leg is much smaller than the other. For years she 411 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 3: was very self conscious about it. She tried to cover 412 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 3: them up and wear clothes that would hide them. But 413 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 3: in her early thirties, not long after she married my father, 414 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 3: a guest minister was coming to speak at the church. 415 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 3: This man's always positive and uplifting, and my mother was 416 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 3: walking in front of him. He turned to my father 417 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 3: and said, John, look at Dodie. She walks like a princess. 418 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 3: Up to that point, my mother had never heard anything 419 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 3: good about how she walked. In fact, she was kind 420 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 3: of embarrassed by it, because she walks with a limp, 421 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 3: she has to walk much slower. But when she heard 422 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 3: him say that, it changed her whole attitude. She quit 423 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 3: being embarrassed by it. She put her shoulders back and 424 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 3: started walking like she was royalty. That was over forty 425 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 3: years ago, and my mother remembers that like it was yesterday. 426 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 3: One compliment can have an impact for a lifetime. But 427 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 3: what if that man would have just thought it and 428 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 3: not said it. What if he had talked himself out 429 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 3: of it, maybe my mother would still be self conscious. 430 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 3: Don't withhold your blessing, your encouragement, your compliments. That can 431 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 3: be what causes them to step up to who they 432 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 3: were created to be. There are people in your life 433 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 3: right now that need your healing. They need your blessing, 434 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 3: they need your encouragement. They're thirsty. You have life giving water. 435 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 3: You can be the one that helps them walk like 436 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 3: a princess for the next forty years. You can be 437 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 3: the one that reminds them that they're beautiful and the 438 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 3: chains of depression will be broken. Look around this week, 439 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 3: live with the attitude who can I bless? Who can 440 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 3: I help heal? Who can I help push into their destiny? 441 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,239 Speaker 3: If you'll develop this habit of speaking healing words, I 442 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 3: believe and declare, You're not only going to help others 443 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 3: rise higher, but those seeds are going to come back 444 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 3: to you. God is going to cause you to rise higher. 445 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 3: You're going to accomplish dreams, overcome obstacles, and become everything 446 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 3: God's created you to be. In Jesus' name, if you 447 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 3: receive it, can you say amen? 448 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 6: Today? 449 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 3: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 450 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 3: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 451 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 3: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 452 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 3: into my heart. I make you my lord and savior. 453 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 3: If you prayed that simple prayer. We believe you got 454 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 3: born again. Get in a good Bible based church, and 455 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 3: keep God first place. 456 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 5: Thank you for listening to the Joelustine podcast.
