I like 36 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 5: to start with something funny, and I heard about this 37 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 5: six year old boy. He was standing in the church 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 5: lobby staring at the large plaque on the wall. It 39 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 5: was filled with names with small American flags by their side. 40 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 5: He asked the pastor what all the names were for. 41 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 5: The pastor explained how that was a memorial to all 42 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 5: the young men and women that died in the service. 43 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 5: The little boy stood there silently, so concerned, he finally 44 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 5: looked up and asked, was it the eight thirty or 45 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 5: eleven o'clock service? Say it like you mean it. This 46 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 5: is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 47 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 48 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 49 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 50 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 51 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 52 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 5: to talk to you today about recognizing your value. Too 53 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 5: often we base our value on how someone is treating us, 54 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 5: how successful we are, how perfect of a life we've lived. 55 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 5: The problem is all of those things can change. If 56 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 5: you're getting your value out of how people treat you, 57 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 5: then if they hurt you, they disappoint you, you're going 58 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 5: to feel devalued. If you're basing your value off of 59 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 5: your achievements, how much you make, what you drive, the 60 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 5: title behind your name, then if something happens and you 61 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 5: don't have that position, your business goes down, then your 62 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 5: value will go down. And some people don't feel good 63 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 5: about themselves because they've made mistakes in life. They're not 64 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 5: where they thought they would be. Now they're living insecure, 65 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 5: feeling inferior. They're basing their value on their performance. Here's 66 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 5: the key. Your value should be based solely on the 67 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 5: fact that you are a child of the most High God, 68 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 5: the creator of the universe, breaths his life into you. 69 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 5: How someone treats you doesn't change your value. What they 70 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 5: say or do doesn't lessen who you are. Mistakes you've 71 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 5: made doesn't decrease your value. That's what you did, that's 72 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 5: not who you are. You can buy a bigger house, 73 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 5: drive a better car, but that doesn't make you any 74 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 5: more valuable. That increases your net worth, not your self worth. 75 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 5: You were already valuable when you had the small apartment 76 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 5: and no title behind your name. That position may give 77 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 5: you more influence, but not more value. You can be 78 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 5: a stay at home mom raising your children. You may 79 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 5: not have the influence of the CEO, but you have 80 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 5: the same value. Value is not based on what you do, 81 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 5: what you make, who you know. That's superficial. Those things 82 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 5: can change. Your value comes from your creator. God breathed 83 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 5: his life into you. You have the DNA of Almighty God. 84 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 5: You have royalty in your blood. But the enemy works 85 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 5: over time trying to devalue us. He'd love for you 86 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 5: to go through life letting what people say make you 87 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 5: feel inferior, comparing your life to somebody else's thinking. You'll 88 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 5: feel good about yourself when you catch up to them, 89 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 5: when you live in that neighborhood, or when you perform perfectly, 90 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 5: when you break the addiction, then you'll feel valuable. But 91 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 5: nothing you do will make you any more valuable. Nothing 92 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 5: you achieve, nothing you overcome. You are valuable right now. 93 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 5: God calls you a masterpiece. You are one of a kind. 94 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 5: You didn't come off an assembly line. You weren't mass produced. 95 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 5: God made you unique. There will never be another. You 96 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 5: put your shoulders back, start carrying yourself with confidence. You 97 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 5: have been fearfully and wonderfully made. In Luke chapter four, 98 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 5: Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, where 99 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 5: he was tempted three times. He'd been out there for 100 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 5: forty days and hadn't eaten anything. The enemy said to him, 101 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 5: if you're the son of God, turn these stones into bread. 102 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 5: He was trying to make his value be based on 103 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 5: his performance. If you turn these stones into bread, you 104 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 5: can prove you're the son of God. Then you can 105 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 5: feel good about yourself. You performed a miracle. Jesus wouldn't 106 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 5: do it. He said, man doesn't live by bread alone. 107 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 5: He was saying, in effect, I don't have to do 108 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 5: anything to prove who I am. I don't have to 109 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 5: perform to feel good about myself. I know who I am. 110 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 5: The enemy couldn't deceive him into getting his value out 111 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 5: of being performance based, so he tried possession based. He 112 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 5: took Jesus to a high place, showed him all the 113 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 5: kingdoms of the world. He said, you can have it 114 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 5: all if you'll just bow down and worship me. Jesus said, no, thanks. 115 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 5: I don't need possessions to prove my worth and value. 116 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 5: I don't have to have what you think is important 117 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 5: to feel good about who I am. Possession based didn't work. 118 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 5: Performance based didn't work, so the enemy tried one final thing, popularity. 119 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 5: He took Jesus to the highest place in the temple, 120 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 5: was very crowded below all kinds of people. He said, 121 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 5: if you're the son of God, jump off this building. 122 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 5: You said your angels would protect you. He was trying 123 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 5: to get Jesus to show off. Everybody would see and 124 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 5: be amazed. He'd gain instant popularity. Jesus said it again. 125 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 5: I don't need possessions, I don't need popularity. I don't 126 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 5: need performance to feel valuable. I know who I am. 127 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,239 Speaker 5: I'm the son of the Living God. The enemy tried 128 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 5: to deceive Jesus into proving who he was, and a 129 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 5: lot of people live in approving mode. They can't feel 130 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 5: good about themselves unless they prove to people they're important. 131 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 5: Prove to their coworker their talented, prove to their critics 132 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 5: that they really are okay. There's a constant struggle. They're 133 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 5: always having to outdo, outperform, outdrive, outdress. It's very freeing 134 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 5: when you realize you don't have to prove anything. You 135 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 5: don't have to impress people. Take the pressure off. It 136 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 5: takes a lot of energy to compete, to prove, to impress. 137 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 5: If you live in approving mode, it's like you're on 138 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 5: a treadmill. As soon as you prove to one person 139 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 5: you're okay, you'll see somebody else you need to impress 140 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 5: to never ending cycle. Get off that treadmill. You're working 141 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 5: hard but not going anywhere. You don't have to prove anything. 142 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 5: In these days, there's so much emphasis on name brands. 143 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 5: We're wearing so and so designers, use and so and 144 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 5: so sunglasses, and carrying a so and so perse, driving 145 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 5: a so and so card, talking on a so and 146 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 5: so cell phone. If you're really cool, you got on 147 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 5: so and so underwear. You can feel good about yourself. 148 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 5: Sometimes we have so many other names on us. We 149 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 5: don't know our own name. We're counting on all the 150 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 5: name brands, all the outside labels to make us feel important. 151 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 5: Can I tell you your name is more important than 152 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 5: all those names combine. No disrespect to them, But the 153 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 5: difference between you and a name brand is God breathed 154 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 5: his life into you. You're a son, you're a daughter 155 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 5: of the most High God. And there's nothing wrong with 156 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 5: owning it, driving it. We're in it, But don't let 157 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 5: it be the reason you feel good about who you are. 158 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 5: Because what's hot today? What's the life greatest? In a 159 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 5: few years, it'll be outdated. If you live possession based, 160 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 5: you have to run from name to name, position to position, 161 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 5: friend to friend. That's gonna wear you out. Why don't 162 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 5: you relax? You can't get any more valuable. You can 163 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 5: buy more clothes, get more friends. That doesn't change your 164 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 5: value whether you're wearing Gucci or Goodwill, whether it's Calvin 165 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 5: Klein or Fruit of the Loom, your value never changes. 166 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 5: You're clapping because you wear Fruit of the Loom. Like me. 167 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 5: I went to the sporting goods store the other day 168 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 5: to buy some new T shirts to work out in, 169 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 5: and there were probably ten racks of shirts. Practically everyone 170 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 5: had the manufacturer's name on the front in big bold letters. 171 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 5: I thought to myself, you want me to buy your 172 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 5: shirt and then go around as a billboard for you, 173 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 5: no offense, But I don't want to wear your name. 174 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 5: I like my own name. Do you need somebody else's 175 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 5: name to make you feel good about yourself? Are you 176 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 5: trying to prove your worth your value by who you know, 177 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 5: what you were, what you drive? Or can you say, 178 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 5: like Jesus, I don't have to have popularity, possessions or 179 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 5: performance to feel good about myself. I am secure in 180 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 5: who I am. I know who God made me to be. 181 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 5: When Jesus was riding into town on Palm Sunday, the 182 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 5: people laid down branches as he passed by. They celebrated, 183 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 5: shouting Hosanna from the young to the old, waving cheering. 184 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 5: They were so excited to see him. He received the 185 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 5: heroes welcome, but a few days later those same people, 186 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 5: instead of shouting Hosanna, they were shouting crucifying. We don't 187 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 5: want him here. When Jesus went to trial and needed 188 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 5: his closest friends to support him, his disciples, the ones 189 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 5: he had poured his life into, weren't anywhere around. He 190 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 5: asked them to stay up and pray, but they were 191 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 5: too tired. They fell asleep. If you base your value 192 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 5: on people's support, how much they approve you, encourage you, 193 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 5: then if for some reason they stop doing that, you'll 194 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 5: feel devalued. As long as they're telling you you're great, 195 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 5: you'll feel great. The problem is if they change their mind, 196 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 5: they're not telling you that, you're not going to feel great. 197 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,239 Speaker 5: You can't base your value on what people give you. 198 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 5: People are funny. They'll say you're beautiful one day, and 199 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 5: I don't care for you the next. Hosanna on Sunday, 200 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 5: crucify them on Friday. If you don't know who you 201 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 5: are without them, then if they leave, you'll be lost. 202 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 5: They'll take you with them. Your identity was caught up 203 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 5: in who they made you to be. You'll try to 204 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 5: find somebody else to tell you who you are. You 205 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 5: don't need need people to tell you who you are. 206 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 5: People will let you down, people will get jealous, People 207 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 5: have their own issues. Let your heavenly father tell you 208 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 5: who you are. Get your value, your self worth, your 209 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 5: approval from him. He says you're a masterpiece. He says 210 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 5: you're want of a kind a prize possession. Somebody may 211 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 5: have told you the opposite. You're not talented, you're not attractive, 212 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 5: you don't have a good personality. Let that go in 213 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 5: one ear and out the other. They don't determine your value. 214 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 5: What they say or do, does it make you any 215 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 5: less a masterpiece. Quit letting how people treat you make 216 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 5: you feel inferior. They don't control your destiny. They didn't 217 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 5: breathe life into you. They didn't call you, they didn't 218 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 5: anoint you, they didn't approve you. Your value came from 219 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 5: your creator, from the God who spoke words into existence. 220 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 5: The good news is they can't change your value, and 221 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 5: you can't change it. God put it in you before 222 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 5: you showed up. You don't need their approval, You don't 223 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 5: need their encouragement. They don't have to validate you. It's 224 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 5: good when it happens, but if you're depending on it 225 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 5: to feel secure, then if they don't do it, you're 226 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 5: going to feel inferior. Don't give away your power, don't 227 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 5: put your identity, your value into somebody else's hands. Even 228 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 5: good people can't give you everything you need. Somebody that 229 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 5: loves you very much, they cannot keep you approved, validated, 230 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 5: feeling secure. You have to go to your heavenly father. 231 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 5: And sometimes we're putting pressure on people to keep us fixed, 232 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 5: keep us validated. Let them off the hook. They're not 233 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 5: your savior. You already have a savior. He's on the throne. 234 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 5: Go to him and not the people. The problem with 235 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 5: trying to get this from people is people have issues. 236 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 5: People are dealing with insecurities, fears, hurts, wounds, presentes, dysfunction. 237 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 5: They don't know any better. That's normal to them. Messed up. 238 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 5: People can mess you up. That's not profound. But it's good, 239 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 5: isn't it. If you base your value on what they're 240 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 5: giving you, you can end up dysfunctional. I talked to 241 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 5: a lady recently that had a very bad childhood neglect abuse. 242 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 5: She had just gone through her second divorce, her ex 243 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 5: husband told her that she didn't deserve to be loved, 244 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 5: and I could tell that she believed it because she 245 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 5: was down on herself, no expression on her face. I 246 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 5: told her what I'm telling you. Don't let messed up 247 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 5: people ruin the rest of your life. If somebody hurts you, 248 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 5: there's a tendency to internalize it and think there's something 249 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 5: wrong with me. If I was more attract he wouldn't 250 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 5: have left. If I was smarter, I wouldn't have had 251 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 5: a bad childhood. No, it has nothing to do with you. 252 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 5: They're treating you out of their hurts, their wounds. Hurting 253 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 5: people end up hurting other people. Don't let what they 254 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 5: say define who you are. Don't let what you didn't 255 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 5: get make you feel like you're to blame. They said 256 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 5: you don't deserve to be loved, that's a lie. They 257 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 5: said you're not attractive, another lie. But if you base 258 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 5: your value on these lines, you won't have any kind 259 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 5: of self worth. Studies even show that children that went 260 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 5: through neglect abuse a bad childhood. Very often they take 261 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 5: the blame on themselves. They think there's something wrong with them. 262 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 5: This lady did the same thing. She didn't think she 263 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 5: deserved to be loved. That's the enemy trying to steal 264 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 5: your sense of value. If somebody did you wrong, instead 265 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 5: of internalizing it, have you ever thought about maybe they 266 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 5: were messed up. Maybe they felt so bad about themselves, 267 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 5: so unlovable, that they tried to project it on you. 268 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 5: I know a young man that never felt like he 269 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 5: fit in growing up. There's very little love in his home. 270 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 5: He never felt approved or celebrated. It was like he 271 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 5: was a burden. He found out in his early teens 272 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 5: that his parents always wanted a girl. They were disappointed 273 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 5: when he was born. Now he's in his twenties, had 274 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 5: his head down, insecure, feeling unworthy. I told him, your 275 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 5: parents may have wanted a girl, but the creator of 276 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 5: the universe wanted a boy. God doesn't make mistakes. You're 277 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 5: not an accident. He hand picked you. He chose you 278 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 5: before you could choose him. Your parents may not have 279 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 5: known any better, but don't let their lack of approval 280 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 5: keep you from your destiny. You didn't come from your mother. 281 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 5: You came rule your mother. You came from oh body God. 282 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 5: I begin to tell him how he was a masterpiece, 283 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 5: called chosen, equipped, one of a kind, with seeds of greatness. 284 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 5: Nobody had ever spoken faith over his life. He lifted 285 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 5: his head, he put his shoulders back. I could see 286 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 5: a smile starting to form. When you base your value 287 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 5: on what people say or do, that's going to push 288 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 5: you down. But when you base it on what God 289 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 5: says about you, it's going to lift you up. You're 290 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 5: going to have a smile on your face, a spring 291 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 5: in your step. You're not going to be put off 292 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 5: by what you didn't get by who's not supporting him 293 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 5: like him. Maybe nobody ever told you what God says 294 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 5: about you. God says you're amazing. He says he's proud 295 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 5: of you. He says you're the apple of his eye. 296 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 5: People may not be celebrating you, but you need to 297 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 5: know God celebrates you. I've heard it said if God 298 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 5: had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If 299 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 5: he had a computer, you'd be on the homepage. The 300 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 5: scripture says God has your name carved on the palm 301 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 5: of his hand. He's always thinking about you. You may 302 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 5: feel like you never really got the approval from your parents. 303 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 5: From your family even now, they don't celebrate you, they 304 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 5: don't affirm you. But the truth is it's not about you. 305 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 5: It's about their issues, their insecurities. Don't spend your life 306 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 5: trying to get something that they cannot give. I know 307 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 5: people working eighty hours a week trying to prove to 308 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 5: their parents they're successful, prove to their family they're good enough. 309 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 5: You have to let it go or you'll be frustrated. 310 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 5: Turn to your heavenly father. Get your approval from him. 311 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 5: He's smiling down on you. He sees you excelling. You 312 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 5: don't have to have their approval to be happy. God 313 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 5: approves you. He's the one that matters. In the scripture, 314 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 5: David didn't have his father's approval. When the prophet Samuel 315 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 5: came in to anoint one of Jesse's sons, Jesse didn't 316 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 5: even bring David in from the shepherd's fields. He saw 317 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 5: David as being inferior, not talented, too young, too small. 318 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 5: Sometimes the people closest to you can't see the greatness 319 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 5: in you. Jesse didn't see a king in David. He 320 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 5: didn't see a giant killer, a strategic leader. He saw 321 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 5: a young boy with not much to offer. He dismissed him, 322 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 5: didn't pay much attention. Your family may discount you. They 323 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 5: may leave you out. Don't take it personally. Just keep 324 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 5: being your best, getting your approval from your heavenly father. 325 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 5: This happened with Jesus. His brothers didn't believe in him. 326 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 5: They saw him as average. What's the big deal, what's 327 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 5: all the commotion, It's just Jesus. The people that should 328 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 5: have supported him the most tried to make him feel inferior. 329 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 5: The people closest to you may not acknowledge your gifts, 330 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 5: they may not see your value, but God does. David 331 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 5: was left out. It wasn't fair. But when Samuel looked 332 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 5: at the other seven sons, he said, Jesse, it's none 333 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 5: of these. Do you have any more sons? People may 334 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 5: leave you out, but God doesn't leave you out. If 335 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 5: David had to have his family's approval, he would have 336 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 5: never taken the throne. Quit trying to make people before 337 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 5: you that are never going to be for you. Quit 338 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 5: feeling inferior because somebody close to you is not celebrating you. 339 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 5: If you needed their approval, you would get it. If 340 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 5: you're not getting it, that means you don't need it 341 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 5: to become who you were created to be. And yes 342 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 5: it may be hurtful, but it is not going to 343 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 5: keep you from your destiny. Sometimes it's God teaching us 344 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 5: to go to him and not to people. We rely 345 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 5: too much on what people think. Who believes in us? 346 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 5: And how come they're not supporting me. David's brothers made 347 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 5: fun of him, his father discounted him. He was stuck 348 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 5: out in the shepherd's fields, But instead of complaining feeling inferior, 349 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 5: he turned to God. He's the one that wrote in 350 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 5: Psalm twenty seven, if my mother and father forsake me, 351 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 5: God will adopt me as his own child. And I 352 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 5: know many of us had great parents that did their best, 353 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 5: but we all have people that are not giving us 354 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 5: their approval. They don't acknowledge our gifts. They don't see 355 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 5: what we have to offer. Don't live frustrated thinking that 356 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 5: there's something wrong with you, trying to prove to them 357 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 5: who you are, trying to convince them to affirm you. 358 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 5: Let it go. There's nothing wrong with you. If you 359 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 5: had to have it, they would give it. Since you 360 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 5: don't shake it off. Keep your head held high, knowing 361 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 5: that your heavenly father has approved you, accepted you, and 362 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 5: anointed you. Your value doesn't come from people, It comes 363 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:18,479 Speaker 5: from your creator. A while back, somebody gave a watch 364 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,959 Speaker 5: to the Ministry. I was out of town at one 365 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 5: of our events, and a man came up and handed 366 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 5: me this nice box. I opened it. It was a 367 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 5: beautiful watch. It wasn't super fancy, but it was attractive. 368 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 5: It s forty, and of course I thanked him. I'm 369 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 5: very grateful. I brought it back and put it in 370 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 5: my desk drawer. A couple of months later, I opened 371 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 5: the drawer to get something out and there was the watch. 372 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 5: I had forgotten about it. I looked at it again 373 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 5: and I thought it cost a couple hundred dollars. I 374 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 5: didn't notice the name brand, but for some reason, I 375 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 5: googled it. When I did, I nearly passed out. The 376 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 5: exact watch came up. It was worth over ten thousand dollars. 377 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 5: It's from a very famous, prestigious watchmaker. It looked like 378 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 5: to me a lot of other watches that I'd seen 379 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 5: that cost several hundred dollars. But because of the manufacturer, 380 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 5: this watch was extremely valuable. You could put it side 381 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 5: by side and you wouldn't see much difference. Looked average 382 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 5: ordinary people had copied it. There were knockoffs on the 383 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 5: surface it seemed the same, but what gave it its value 384 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 5: was who made it. Sometimes we don't realize who we are. 385 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 5: You may feel average, ordinary, like nothing stands out, But 386 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 5: because of your maker, there's something about you that makes 387 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 5: you extremely valuable. You're not a copy, you're not a knockoff. 388 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 5: You're an original. The creator of the universe is your manufacturer. 389 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 5: You can't get any more prestigious than that. But if 390 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 5: you don't know who you are are, like I did 391 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 5: with the watch, you'll discount yourself. Think it all, man, 392 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 5: I'm ordinary, nothing much to offer, nothing special about me. 393 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 5: You need to google your manufacturer. You have the fingerprints 394 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 5: of God all over you. Someone thirty nine says God, 395 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 5: I praise you because you have made me in an 396 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 5: amazing way. What you have done is wonderful. If you're 397 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 5: going to recognize your value, you have to see yourself 398 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 5: as amazing, as wonderful, not because of who you are, 399 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 5: but because of who made you. Now, life will try 400 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 5: to make you feel like you're anything but amazing. Disappointments, betrayals, 401 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 5: rejection will try to steal your sense of value. But 402 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 5: all through the day, despite what thoughts are telling you, 403 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 5: despite who left you, out. You need to remind yourself. 404 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 5: I am amazing. I am a masterpiece. I have been 405 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 5: wonderfully made. Don't discount what God has created. Don't go 406 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 5: around feeling ordinary when in fact you're extraordinary. People may 407 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 5: try to make you feel average, like David's father. You 408 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 5: don't have much to offer. Are you going to believe 409 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 5: what people say about you? Or believe what God says 410 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 5: about you? God says you're amazing? Have you ever said 411 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 5: that to yourself? It has to start on the inside. 412 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 5: I read where Tom Brady's jersey that he wore during 413 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 5: the Super Bowl is worth five hundred thousand dollars. I 414 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 5: can go online and buy that same jersey for forty 415 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 5: nine dollars. What's the difference who it belongs to? Same jersey, 416 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 5: same size, same color, but one belongs to Tom Brady. 417 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 5: That makes it extremely valuable. The scripture says you belong 418 00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 5: to God. You may feel average, think you look ordinary, 419 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 5: nothing special about you, But because of who you belong to, 420 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 5: that makes you extremely valuable. Now my challenge, don't let 421 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 5: people discount you. Don't let your own thoughts push you down. 422 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 5: Put your shoulders back. You belong to God. You don't 423 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 5: have to prove anything. You don't have to try to 424 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 5: impress people. Just be who you are, be amazing. If 425 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 5: you'll do this, I believe and declare every chain that's 426 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 5: held you back is being broken. You're going to live free, confidence, secure, valuable, 427 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 5: and become the masterpiece that God created you to be. 428 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 5: In Jesus' name, if you receive it, can you say it? Men? Today, 429 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 5: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 430 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 5: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 431 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 5: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 432 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 5: into my heart. I make you my Lord and save you. Friends. 433 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 5: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 434 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 5: born again. Get in a good Bible based church, keep 435 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 5: God first place.
