After a few weeks, Peter 37 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 5: saw the mat and ask him how he liked it. 38 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 5: He said, Oh, it's great, but it's so big. I 39 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 5: wish I could get a pair of roller skates. Peter said, 40 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 5: no problem, got him some roller skates. A few weeks later, 41 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 5: Peter saw the cat and ask him how he liked it. 42 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 5: He said, Oh, it's fantastic. And just when I thought 43 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 5: it couldn't get any better, I discovered the meals on 44 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 5: wheels say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 45 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 5: I am what it says I am. I have what 46 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 5: it says I have. I can do what it says 47 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 5: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 48 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 5: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 49 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 5: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 50 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 5: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 51 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 5: about it is finished. We all have things that are 52 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 5: trying to hold us back. Guilt from past mistakes, temptations. 53 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 5: We can't seem to overcome dysfunction that's been passed down. 54 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 5: It's easy to learn to accept it and think that 55 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 5: that's who we are. But God didn't create you to 56 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 5: go through life weighed down by addictions, dysfunction, guilt, the past. 57 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,399 Speaker 5: He created you to be free. And when Jesus hung 58 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 5: on the cross before he took his final breath, he 59 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 5: said it is finished. He wasn't just talking about his 60 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 5: life and how he had finished his purpose. He was 61 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 5: putting an end to all the negative things that could 62 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 5: keep us from our destiny. He was saying, in effect, 63 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 5: the guilt is finished, the depression is finished, the low 64 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 5: self esteem, the mediocrity, it is finished. And instead of 65 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 5: accepting the addiction thinking it's the way it's always going 66 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 5: to be. Everybody in my family has it, you need 67 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 5: to announce to that addiction. It is finished. You don't 68 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 5: control me, you can't keep me from my destiny. The 69 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 5: price has been paid. I am free, I am clean, 70 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 5: i am whole. But as long as you accept it, 71 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 5: you're allowing it to stay. But when you tell the addiction, 72 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 5: tell the past, tell the poverty, it is finished. This 73 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 5: is not who I am. I am blessed, I am prosperous. 74 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 5: I am victorious in the unseen realm. Strongholds are broken, 75 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 5: change are loosed, favor is released. Are there things you're 76 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 5: living with that you need to say it is finished? 77 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 5: Are you going around guilty, down on yourself because of 78 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 5: past mistakes, not expecting anything good. You need to announce 79 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 5: to that guilt. It is finished. I'm done beating myself up, 80 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 5: living condemned. God's mercy is bigger than my mistakes. I 81 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 5: am redeemed, I am restored, I am forgiven, and I 82 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 5: am excited about my future. Are you living with a 83 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 5: sense of shame, feeling inferior because of how somebody treated you? 84 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 5: They did you wrong. They walked away. Now the accuser whispers, 85 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 5: it's because you're not good enough, You're not attractive enough, 86 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 5: you don't deserve to be loved. Announced to that shame. 87 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 5: It is finished. I'm not living inferior, unworthy. I know 88 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 5: who I am. I am a child of the most 89 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 5: High God. I'm wearing a crown of favor. I have 90 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 5: royal blood flowing through my veins. No matter what someone 91 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 5: did or didn't do to you, it does not change 92 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 5: who you are. You may have had bad breaks, gone 93 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 5: through unfair situations. Don't have a victim mentality, have a 94 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 5: victor mentality. God said he would pay you back double 95 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 5: for the unfair things that have happened. That person that 96 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 5: did you wrong, they thought they were hurting you. The 97 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 5: truth is they were helping you. They qualify you for double. 98 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 5: They thought they were setting you back. In reality, they 99 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 5: were setting you up. Now do your part, say to 100 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 5: the self pity. It is finished. I'm not living discouraged, 101 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 5: dwelling on my disappointments, reliving my hurts. I'm letting go 102 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 5: of the old and I'm getting ready for the new 103 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 5: things God has in store. Father, Thank you, Double is 104 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 5: coming my way. But we can all find a reason 105 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 5: to live negative, thinking that we're at a disadvantage. My 106 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 5: boss overlooked me. Somebody walked out of a relationship. I'm 107 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 5: asking us to get rid of the excuses. It's time 108 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 5: to say it is finished. I'm done thinking about what 109 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 5: I didn't get, what didn't work out. You have to 110 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 5: tell the past, tell the self pity, tell the discouragement. 111 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 5: It is finished. As long as you justify your condition, 112 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 5: you're giving it permission to stay. John chapter five, Jesus 113 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 5: met a crippled man that had been lying by the 114 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 5: pool of Bethesda for thirty eight years. There were five 115 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 5: porches surrounding this pool filled with sick people, and once 116 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 5: a year, when the angel moved the waters, the first 117 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 5: person to get in would be healed. Jesus said to 118 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 5: the crippled man, do you want to get well? It 119 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 5: seemed like there was an obvious answer. Everyone was at 120 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 5: the pool to get well, But the scripture says when 121 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 5: Jesus saw the man lying there, he asked, do you 122 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 5: want to get well? In other words, there was nothing 123 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 5: in this man's actions that said he wanted to get well, 124 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 5: nothing in his behavior that said I'm expecting things to change. 125 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 5: He had his bed there by the porch, his whole 126 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 5: area set up. I can imagine a table, a lamp, books, pictures. 127 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 5: In thirty eight years, he had gotten comfortable in dysfunction. 128 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 5: He thought, this is my lot in life. It's never 129 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 5: going to get better. He was surrounded by other people 130 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 5: that were sick, that were blind, that were afflicted. He 131 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 5: gravitated to people that were just like him. Everybody was needy, 132 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 5: everybody was complaining, everybody was discouraged. You need to be 133 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 5: careful who you surround yourself with, especially in difficult times. 134 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 5: You may have an illness, but don't go find a 135 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 5: bunch of other sick people to hang around. Misery loves company. 136 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 5: If you struggle with an addiction, don't hang out with 137 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 5: people that are addicted. That's going to cause you to 138 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 5: get stuck. If you're depressed, don't go find five depressed 139 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 5: friends so y'all can all be depressed together. Find people 140 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 5: that have what you want. If you're struggling in your finances, 141 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 5: get around blessed people, generous people, people that are well off. 142 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 5: If you tend to be negative and critical, don't stay 143 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 5: around people like that. Find people that are happy, positive, grateful, 144 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 5: there should be something about you that says I want 145 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 5: to get well, I want to be blessed, I want 146 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 5: to go to the next level. When Jesus asked this 147 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 5: man if he wanted to get well, instead of saying yes, 148 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 5: that's what I'm believing for that's my dream, he said, Sir, 149 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 5: I don't have anybody to help me get in the 150 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 5: water when the angel comes. Somebody always beats me in. 151 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 5: He was justifying his condition. I'm this way because I'm 152 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 5: at a disadvantage. Nobody will help me. As long as 153 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 5: you're making excuses for where you are, you're going to 154 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 5: get stuck. I'm this way, Joel, because I had a 155 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 5: bad childhood. I'm bitter because a business partner cheated me. 156 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 5: I'm negative because I have this illness. I'm asking us 157 00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 5: to get rid of the excuses. Nothing that's happened to 158 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 5: you has to keep you from your destiny. If it 159 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 5: was going to stop your purpose, God wouldn't have allowed it. 160 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 5: You may not understand it, it may not be fair. 161 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 5: But if you will take the hand you've been dealt 162 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 5: and make the most of it, God will get you 163 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 5: to where you're supposed to be. No person can stop him. 164 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 5: No bad great, no addiction, no sickness. God has the 165 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 5: final say tell the self pity, it is finished. Tell 166 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 5: the excuses it is finished. This is a new day. 167 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 5: God's about to do a new thing. Jesus said to 168 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 5: the crippled man, get up, pick up your bed, and walk. 169 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 5: Instantly the man was healed. He stood up and was 170 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 5: able to walk out of there. And what you think 171 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 5: is permanent looks like it's never going to change. That 172 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 5: addiction you've had for years, the illness, the situation in 173 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 5: your finances, you don't see away. But God has a 174 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 5: way right now. He's fighting your battles. I believe things 175 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 5: are changing in your favor. Breakthroughs are headed you away, 176 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 5: new beginnings, healing, freedom. It may look permanent, God is 177 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 5: saying it's only temporary. I'm about to turn it around. 178 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 5: What's interesting is this cripple man didn't have a lot 179 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 5: of faith. He didn't say yes, I believe I can 180 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 5: get well. He made excuses, Yet God, in his mercy, 181 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 5: healed him. Imagine how God feels when he sees you 182 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 5: shaking off the self pity, shaking off the excuses, saying Lord, 183 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 5: I believe you can turn my child around. I believe 184 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 5: you'll take me to the next level. I believe you'll 185 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 5: free me from this addiction. When you believe God will 186 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 5: make things happen that you couldn't make happen. Tell the excuses, 187 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 5: tell the doubt, tell the negative thoughts. It is finished. 188 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 5: It's time to put a stop to some things. This 189 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 5: is what my father did. He grew up very poor. 190 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 5: His parents were cotton farmers, and they lost everything during 191 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 5: the Great Depression. My father went to school with holes 192 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 5: in his pants, holes in his shoes. In high school 193 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 5: he was given the Christmas basket that went to the 194 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 5: poorest family. He was at a disadvantage, no money, very 195 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 5: little education. The odds were all against him. He had 196 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 5: a good excuse to settle where he was and accept 197 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 5: a life of mediocrity. But at the age of seventeen, 198 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 5: my father gave his life to Christ, the first one 199 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 5: in his family. On the inside, he could feel seeds 200 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 5: of greatness rising up, seeds of increase, seeds of abundance. 201 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 5: On the outside, everything said, you're poor, you're at a disadvantage, 202 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 5: you're limited, you don't have a future. But down in 203 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 5: his space hear it. He could hear God whispering this 204 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 5: is not who you are. You're better than this. You 205 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 5: can set a new standard. You were made for more. 206 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 5: At seventeen, he told his parents he was going to 207 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 5: leave the farm and become a minister. They thought he 208 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 5: had lost his mind. They said, John, you better stay 209 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 5: here on the farm with us. All you know how 210 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 5: to do is pick cotton. They meant well, but sometimes 211 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 5: well meaning people will try to talk you out of 212 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 5: your destiny. If my father would have stayed in that 213 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 5: limited environment, he would have never seen the fullness of 214 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 5: what God had in store. You have to get away 215 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 5: from people that only see you for who you used 216 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 5: to be and not for who you're about to be, 217 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 5: because some people that knew you back then will try 218 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 5: to keep you in the same box that you grew 219 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 5: up in. They'll try to put limitations on you. You 220 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 5: can't accomplish that dream. You're not that talented. You better 221 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 5: play it safe. This is what happened in the scripture 222 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 5: with David. His family didn't see him as a giant 223 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 5: killer as a king. They discounted him. David's father didn't 224 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 5: bring him in from the shepherd's fields. When the prophet 225 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 5: Samuel was choosing one of his brothers as the next king. 226 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 5: He thought, Oh, it's just David. He's so small, he's 227 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 5: so young, he doesn't have the experience. But people don't 228 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 5: determine your destiny. What they say about you, how they 229 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 5: try to make you feel, cannot stop what God has 230 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 5: ordained for your life. You need to distance yourself from 231 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 5: people that are always trying to put limitations on you 232 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 5: and talk you out of what God put in your heart. 233 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 5: Sometimes it's the people that have known you the longest, 234 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 5: because they can only see you one way. Jesus' brothers 235 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 5: never accepted him. He was performing all these miracles, but 236 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 5: they didn't see him as the Messiah. They only saw 237 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 5: him one way as their brother, thinking all, it's just Jesus, 238 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 5: nothing special about him. We grew up with him. Even 239 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 5: when Jesus began to gain notoriety, the scripture says his 240 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 5: brother scoffed at him. They made fun Yeah, right, you're 241 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 5: the Messiah. They tried to discount him and talk him 242 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 5: out of his destiny. Jesus let it go in one 243 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 5: ear and out the other. My father could have stayed 244 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 5: in that limited environment and accepted a life of poverty 245 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 5: and lack. He could have lived with a scarcity mindset. 246 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 5: But he did what I'm asking us to do. He 247 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 5: rose up and said, it is finished. This may be 248 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 5: where I am, but this is not who I am. 249 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 5: As seventeen, he took a step of faith. He had 250 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 5: to hitchhike, but he left the farm. He started ministering 251 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,119 Speaker 5: in the prisons, in the senior citizens' homes, in the schools. 252 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 5: God begin to promote him and open doors, and he 253 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 5: and my mom found at Lakewood. He pastored here for 254 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 5: forty years. He went on to live a blessed, abundant life. 255 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 5: Here's my point. My father broke the curse of poverty 256 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 5: in our family. Now, myself, my siblings, all of our 257 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 5: children are living at a higher level because one man 258 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 5: didn't settle for the status quo. One man didn't say 259 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 5: I'm at a disadvantage, I've had bad breaks. Instead, he 260 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 5: said it is finished. I'm a difference maker. I can 261 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 5: set a new standard. You can be that man. You 262 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 5: can be that woman for your family. You can put 263 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 5: an end to negative things that have been passed down. 264 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 5: What you're dealing with may not have started with you, 265 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 5: but it can stop with you. You need to say 266 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 5: to the poverty, to the lack. It is finished. I 267 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 5: will lend and not borrow. Say to the addiction, the depression, 268 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 5: the dysfunction, it is finished. God wants you to set 269 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 5: a new standard. You have seeds of greatness. You are 270 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 5: full of talent, ideas, potential. You're not limited by where 271 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,959 Speaker 5: you came from. Just because negative things have been passed 272 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 5: down doesn't mean they're supposed to continue. You're the one 273 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 5: to break the curse, to break the poverty, to break 274 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 5: the depression, to break the dysfunction. You can take your 275 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 5: family to a new level. Now, don't talk yourself out 276 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 5: of it. Don't let circumstances discourage you. The odds may 277 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 5: be against you, but the most high God is for you. 278 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 5: He is breathing in your direction right now. He's going 279 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 5: to open doors that no man can shut. Bring talent 280 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 5: out of you that you didn't know you had, cause 281 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 5: the right people to be good to you. Opportunity is 282 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 5: going to track you down. Good breaks, freedom increase. You're 283 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 5: stepping into a new level. Bondages that have held you 284 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 5: and your family back are being broken. Now do your part. 285 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 5: Have a new mindset, an abundant mentality, a free mentality, 286 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 5: a healthy mentality, a victorious mentality. I wouldn't be standing 287 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 5: here if my father would have kept that poverty mindset, 288 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 5: that scarcity mentality, thinking I'm at a disadvantage, I've had 289 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 5: bad breaks. We can all come up with an excuse 290 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 5: to settle where we are. I'm asking us to get 291 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 5: rid of the excuses, anything that's holding you back. It's 292 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 5: time to announce to it. It is finished. This is 293 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 5: a new day. I'm drawing the line in the sand. 294 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 5: As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 295 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 5: We will live free from a dick. We will lend 296 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 5: and not borrow. We will be generous in help others. 297 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 5: We will accomplish our dreams and become everything we were 298 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 5: created to be. I have a friend that's very successful. 299 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 5: His father was a police officer. He was raised in 300 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 5: a middle class home. When he was eleven years old, 301 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 5: his father asked him to get in the car and 302 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 5: they were going to take a drive together. They drove 303 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 5: for several hours to another state. The father never told 304 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 5: his son where he was taking him. They came to 305 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 5: this very run down neighborhood, trash everywhere, nothing kept up. 306 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 5: The young boy's eyes were so wide. He'd never seen 307 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 5: anything like this. They finally pulled in to this dirt 308 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 5: makeshift driveway of this house that was very dilapidated, no 309 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 5: front door, the windows were broken out. It looked like 310 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 5: it was vacant. They walked in. There was an old 311 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 5: man sitting on a stool, no shirt on, hadn't shaved, 312 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 5: looked like he was homeless. The father looked at him 313 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 5: and said, dad, I brought my son to see you. 314 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 5: The young boy couldn't believe that was his grandfather. He'd 315 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 5: never seen him, never heard his father talk about him. 316 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 5: The grandfather wouldn't look up. He didn't want to have 317 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 5: anything to do with his son nor his grandson. The 318 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 5: father put some money on the counter and said, Dad, 319 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 5: I love you. I just wanted to say hi. They 320 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 5: both walked out. The young boy said, Dad, that was 321 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,239 Speaker 5: the most scared I've been in my whole life. I 322 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 5: never want to come back to this place. The father said, son, 323 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 5: that's why I brought you here, to show you. This 324 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 5: is where we come from, but this is not who 325 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 5: we are now. You may have been raised in a 326 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 5: limited environment. They were good people, but they didn't have 327 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 5: any vision. They settled for mediocrity. Like my friend, you 328 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 5: can set a new standard. Where you start is not important. 329 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 5: Where you finish is what matters. God is going to 330 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 5: use you to not just break a generational curse, but 331 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 5: to start a generational blessing. Where you come from is 332 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 5: not who you are. You are blessed, You are free, 333 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 5: You are talented. You are a child of the Most 334 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 5: High God. Abraham was in a limited environment. God told 335 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 5: him to leave his country, leave his family, and go 336 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 5: to the land that I am showing you. God was saying, Abraham, 337 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 5: you have to leave what's familiar, leave what you grew 338 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 5: up with. I'm not suggesting to abandon your family, but 339 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 5: I am saying to leave negative mindsets you were raised with. 340 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 5: Leave a scarcity mentality, leave limitations that people have put 341 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 5: on you. You have to make room for God to increase you. 342 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 5: Sometimes our environment is to small. If you take an 343 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 5: oak tree, seed and planet in a five gallon pot, 344 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 5: that oak tree will never become what it was created 345 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 5: to be, not because there's something wrong with the tree, 346 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 5: but because of the environment that it's in. In the 347 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 5: same way, there's nothing wrong with you. You have seeds of greatness. 348 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 5: The Most High God breeds his life into you. Now 349 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 5: make sure your pot is not too small. Make sure 350 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 5: your environment is not holding you back. You need to 351 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 5: be around people that inspire you, people that have gone further, 352 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 5: people that are making a difference, not just people that 353 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 5: are settling for the status quo. Isaiah said, enlarge the 354 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 5: place of your tent. Stretch forth your curtains, lengthen your cords, 355 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 5: strengthen your stakes. Make room for God to do a 356 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 5: new thing. Tell that limited mindset it is finished. I'm 357 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 5: dreaming in big dreams. I'm praying bold prayers. I'm expecting 358 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 5: to go further than how I was raised. When my 359 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 5: father went to be with the Lord, people would ask 360 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 5: me if I thought we could keep the church going now. 361 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 5: I never said it arrogantly, but I would tell them 362 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 5: I don't think we can just keep it going. I 363 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 5: believe we can go further. It's because God is a 364 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 5: progressive god. He wants every generation to increase. Have a 365 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 5: big vision. Don't settle for what your parents had, what 366 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 5: your relatives accomplished. You were made for more. You can 367 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 5: go further. You can be the one to set the 368 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 5: new standard. But it's easy to talk ourselves out of 369 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 5: our dreams. Live discouraged because of disappointments, things we don't understand. 370 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 5: We worked hard but didn't get the promotion. We prayed, 371 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 5: but our loved one didn't make it. We did our best, 372 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 5: but the relationship didn't work out. Life is not always fair. 373 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 5: I can't explain everything, but I can tell you. God 374 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 5: said he would take what was meant for your harm 375 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 5: and use it to your advantage. He said he would 376 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 5: give you beauty for the ashes. But I've learned you 377 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 5: have to let go of the ashes before you receive 378 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 5: the beauty. You can't hold on to the old and 379 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 5: expect to receive the new. The past is over and done. 380 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 5: That's why it's called the past. Quit dwelling on it. 381 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 5: Quit reliving it. You're not going to understand everything that happens. 382 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 5: But God has a purpose. He knows how to bring 383 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 5: good out of it. Keep moving forward. This is what 384 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 5: David did. He had a newborn baby that became very sick. 385 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 5: David night and day prayed and fasted for this baby. 386 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 5: He wouldn't eat, he wouldn't talk with anyone else. He 387 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 5: spent all of his time on his knees asking God 388 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 5: to healed his child. On the seventh day, the little 389 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 5: baby died. They didn't know how David would handle the news, 390 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 5: but when they told him, David got up off the ground, 391 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 5: took a shower, put on new clothes, and went to 392 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 5: the temple and begin to worship God. When he finished, 393 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 5: he went had dinner with his men. They were so amazed, 394 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 5: they said, David, when the child was living, you wept, 395 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 5: you refused to eat. But now that he has died, 396 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 5: you've stopped your morning and you're acting like everything's okay. 397 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 5: David said, when the child was alive, I asked God 398 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 5: to let him live. But now that he has died, 399 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 5: I cannot bring him back. But one day I will 400 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 5: go to be with him. David did everything he could. 401 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 5: He prayed, he fasted, he believed, but it didn't work 402 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 5: out his way. He could have lived bitter with a 403 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 5: chip on his shoulder, But David un understood this principle. 404 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 5: He said, to the past, it is finished. I don't 405 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 5: understand it, but I'm moving forward. We all have things 406 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 5: in life that we don't understand. It's easy to live 407 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 5: negative with a chip on our shoulder. But if we're 408 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 5: going to see the double, if we're going to see 409 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 5: the beauty for ashes, we have to do like David 410 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 5: and say to the past, say to the things you 411 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 5: don't understand. It is finished. I'm not going to dwell 412 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 5: on what didn't work out. I'm not going to try 413 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 5: to figure out why. I'm going to let it go 414 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 5: and keep moving forward. The past doesn't have to stop you. 415 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,719 Speaker 5: A bad break, a loss, a disappointment. God is in 416 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 5: control of your life. You wouldn't be alive unless He 417 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 5: had something amazing up in front of you. You haven't 418 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 5: had too many bad breaks, you haven't made too many mistakes. 419 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 5: You're on the verge of seeing double, the verge of 420 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 5: beauty for ashes. Now do your part. Put on a 421 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 5: new attitude, wash your face, and get ready for the 422 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 5: new things God is about to do. Let me declare 423 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 5: this over you today. Receive this into your spirit. The past, 424 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 5: the hurts, the regrets, it is finished. The poverty, the lack, 425 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 5: the limited mindsets, it is finished. The addictions, the depression, 426 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 5: the dysfunction, the guilt, the shame, the self pity, it 427 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 5: is finished.
