I like to start with 44 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 4: something funny, and I heard about this kindergarten teacher. She 45 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 4: was teaching her students about self esteem and she said 46 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 4: to the class, anyone that felt dumb, she asked them 47 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 4: to stand up. She didn't think anybody'd stand. She'd make 48 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 4: the point how no one is dumb. But about that 49 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 4: time little Johnny stood up. She thought, oh no, Now 50 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 4: what am I going to do? She said, Now, Johnny, 51 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 4: do you really feel like you're dumb? He said no, ma'am, 52 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 4: I just hate to see you standing there all by yourself. 53 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 54 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 4: I am what it says I am. I have what 55 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says 56 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 4: I can do. Today I will be talked the word 57 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 4: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 58 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 4: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 59 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 4: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 60 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 4: about being a barrier breaker. So often we let our environment, 61 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 4: how we were raised, people's expectations of us set the 62 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 4: limits for our life. We adapt to what's around us. 63 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 4: If you take an oak tree seed and plant it 64 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 4: in a two foot pot, that oak tree will never 65 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 4: become what it was created to be, not because there's 66 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 4: something wrong with the seed, but because of the environment 67 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 4: that it's in. It's easy to just fit in, go 68 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 4: with the crowd, be like everyone else. But God didn't 69 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 4: create you to be average. He created you to stand out, 70 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 4: to go beyond the norm, to leave your mark on 71 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 4: this generation. You have seeds of greatness on the inside. 72 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 4: You're supposed to go further than the people that raised you. 73 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 4: You're supposed to live better, be more successful, set a 74 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 4: new standard. You may be in an environment where people 75 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 4: have addictions, low self esteem, depression, poverty. You can't stop that. 76 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 4: But here's the key. Don't let that become normal in 77 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 4: your thinking. If you accept that as who you are, 78 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 4: it will keep you from your destiny. And the scripture 79 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 4: talks about how we are in the world, but we 80 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 4: are not of the world. You may be in a 81 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 4: limited environment, but you don't have to be of it. 82 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 4: Don't let that environment get in you. If you see struggle, lack, 83 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 4: poverty long enough, your mind can become conditioned to think 84 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 4: this is who I am. I'll always struggle, I'll never 85 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 4: have enough. No, that's where you are. That's not who 86 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 4: you are, and that may be what's been normal. The 87 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: good news you're a burier breaker. You have the power, 88 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 4: the favor, the talent, the ability to break out to 89 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 4: go further. God breathes his life into you. He calls 90 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 4: you the head and not the tell Don't let your 91 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 4: mind become conditioned for mediocrity. Don't let that change who 92 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 4: you really are. Sometimes people will try to put us 93 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 4: in a box, tell us things like you can't start 94 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 4: that business, you don't have the resources, you'll never afford 95 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 4: a nice place to live, never get well, never meet 96 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 4: the right person. Because their thinking is limited, they'll try 97 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 4: to put their limitations on you. You have to put 98 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 4: your foot down and say I refuse to be mediocre 99 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 4: because people around me are mediocre. I refuse to be addicted, depressed, 100 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 4: have low expectation. I know I'm a burial breaker. I'm 101 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 4: going to set a new standard. It starts in our thinking. 102 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 4: Nothing will change until you make up your mind. You 103 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 4: are not going to accept mediocrity. Why don't you take 104 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 4: the limitations off yourself. You have so much potential, break 105 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,559 Speaker 4: out of that box and try something new. The enemy 106 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 4: would love to keep that potential from ever coming out. 107 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 4: He'll use bad breaks, negative comments, people circumstances to try 108 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 4: to keep you from believe in yourself, believing that you 109 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 4: can rise to the next level. Many people have let 110 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 4: their mind become conditioned to think that they've reached their limits. 111 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 4: They're just average, they'll never do anything great. What's happened 112 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 4: instead of breaking out, They've adapted to their environment. I 113 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 4: saw a study that was done with fleas. Researchers put 114 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 4: all these fleas in a container and then put a 115 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 4: lid on the top. The fleas immediately tried to fly out, 116 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 4: but they hit the lid again and again. Before long 117 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 4: they realized they were stuck. At one point, the researchers 118 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 4: removed the lid, but much to their surprise, the fleas 119 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 4: didn't try to fly out anymore. They had hit that 120 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 4: lid so many times they had become conditioned to think 121 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 4: that they couldn't get out. Even though the lid was off, 122 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 4: they didn't even try. Sometimes, like these fleas because of 123 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 4: the environment, where in times we tried and felled what 124 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 4: people have told us. We've become conditioned to think we 125 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 4: can't do anything great, We'll never accomplished the dream, we'll 126 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 4: never get back in shape. No, it may not have 127 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 4: happened in the past. You may have tried and hit 128 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 4: that lid a few times, But can I tell you 129 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 4: the lid is coming off. It's time to try again. 130 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 4: You were not created to live contained to get stuck, 131 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 4: recondition your mind. That's what happened to a friend of mine. 132 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 4: He got off to a rough start in life. He 133 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 4: grew up in the projects, very poor, with hardly any guidance. 134 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 4: His father wasn't in his life, and his mother had 135 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 4: her own struggles. Because of this poor home situation, he 136 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 4: was labeled by the state as a child at risk. 137 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 4: That phrase from the time He's a little boy had 138 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 4: played over and over in his mind. It had become 139 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 4: ingrained in his thinking. There's no future from me. I'm 140 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 4: a child at risk. He continued to go downhill and 141 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 4: getting into trouble doing what the rest of the crowd 142 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 4: was doing. Everyone around him was defeated, depressed, addicted. He 143 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 4: fit right in. He adapted to his environment. Your life 144 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 4: is going to follow your thoughts. He believed he was 145 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 4: at risk. He became at risk. If you believe you've 146 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 4: reached your limits, then you have. If you believe you'll 147 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 4: never get well, then you won't. Because your mind has 148 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 4: become conditioned with limitations, it will keep you from your 149 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 4: highest potential. You have to get rid of these thoughts 150 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 4: that are holding you back. You may not see how 151 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 4: you can do it in your own ability, but you're 152 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 4: not on your own. You have the most powerful force 153 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 4: in the universe breathing in your direction. God created you 154 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 4: to rise higher, to break barriers of the past, to 155 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 4: overcome bad habits, to be free from generational curses. People 156 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 4: may have labeled you at risk, average, less than, but 157 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 4: God labels you well, able, equipped, anointed, creative, a masterpiece. 158 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 4: The good news is people don't determine your destiny. God 159 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 4: does what they said about you. The environment you're in now, 160 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 4: how you were raised, cannot keep you from your purpose. 161 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 4: God is already taken into account every detail of your life, 162 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 4: every bad break, every negative comment, how you were raised, 163 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 4: what somebody did. He's factor that all into his plan. 164 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 4: If you will stay in faith, instead of holding you back, 165 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 4: it will propel you forward instead of defeating you. It'll 166 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 4: make you stronger. God knows how to take what was 167 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 4: meant for your harm and use it to your advantage. 168 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 4: One day, this young man got in trouble in school, 169 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 4: and he was sent to the school counselor. She tried 170 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 4: to reason with him, but he wouldn't listen. She wouldn't 171 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 4: give up. She kept on trying and trying. Finally he 172 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 4: said to her, why are you even bothering with me? 173 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 4: I'll never do anything great. I've been told my whole 174 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 4: life I'm a child at risk. She looked him in 175 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 4: the eyes and said, listen to me. You are not 176 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 4: a child at risk. You are a child at possibility. 177 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 4: When he heard that, something ignited on the inside. Sat 178 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 4: up in his chair, said to her, what do you 179 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 4: mean at possibility? She said, you are full of potential. 180 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 4: You are smart, you are talented. There's so much you 181 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 4: can become. His whole life, he had heard just the opposite. 182 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 4: His mind had become conditioned to think, you'll never get 183 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 4: out of the projects, you'll never be successful. That day, 184 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 4: a stronghold was broken in his thinking. He reconditioned his mind. Today, 185 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 4: this young man owns his own business, very successful. Plus, 186 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 4: he goes around to schools and speaks to others students 187 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 4: who are considered to be at risk. He tells them 188 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 4: what the counselor told him. You're not at risk, You're 189 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 4: at possibility. My friend del Toro mc neil's right here 190 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 4: on the front row. But like with him, people around 191 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 4: You may accept mediocrity. They may be fine with being 192 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 4: average and having little goals and working at an okay job. 193 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 4: But don't let that spirit rub off on you. That 194 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 4: is not who you are. You're the exception. You're a 195 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 4: barrier breaker. You are not limited by your education, by 196 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 4: how you were raised by that environment. God has destined 197 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 4: you to rise higher. He's destined you to go to 198 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 4: the next level. This is what happened with my father. 199 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 4: He was raised very poor on a cotton farm during 200 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 4: the Great Depression. At Christmas time, his family was the 201 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 4: one that received the Christmas basket that went to the 202 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 4: poorest family in the school. He could never drink a 203 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 4: full glass of milk. They couldn't afford it, only a 204 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 4: fourth of a glass, plus they had pour water in 205 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 4: it to make it last longer. But at seventeen years 206 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 4: of age, my dad gave his life to Christ, the 207 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 4: first one in the family. He told me, Joel, I 208 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 4: made a decision that day that my children would never 209 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 4: be raised in the poverty and lack that I was 210 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 4: raised in. He changed his mind. Everyone around him. They 211 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 4: were good people, but they were limited. Their mind had 212 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 4: become conditioned to accept not having enough struggle lack. The 213 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 4: problem is if you accept it, you won't do anything 214 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 4: about it. It's easy to get comfortable with mediocrity and 215 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 4: just adapt to our environment. As a teenager, my father 216 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 4: felt something stirring on the inside. It was those seeds 217 00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 4: of greatness. Every circumstance said he would stuck, he'd have 218 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 4: to stay on the farm, pit cotton the rest of 219 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 4: his life. But instead of adapting to that environment, his 220 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 4: attitude was, this is not my destiny. I am better 221 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 4: than this. I refuse to live mediocre, wearing hand me downs, 222 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 4: receiving the Christmas basket. I know I have seeds of greatness. 223 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 4: I have potential, I have creativity, the most taighed God 224 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 4: breathe life into me. 225 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 3: Now. 226 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 4: As a teenager, he left the farm. He had to hitchhike, 227 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 4: but he went out and started ministering in the jails, 228 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 4: in the senior citizens' homes, making a difference wherever he went. 229 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 4: He went on to break the curse of poverty in 230 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 4: our family, and he took us to a new level. 231 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 4: He was a barrier breaker. He knew he was made 232 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 4: for more instead of just fitting in be like everyone else. 233 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 4: Why don't you start seeing yourself as a barrier breaker, 234 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 4: as the exception. You're supposed to stand out, You're supposed 235 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 4: to rise. Maybe everyone in your family is depressed. Accept you. 236 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 4: You broke out, you're happy, You're full of joy. Everyone 237 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 4: is addicted. Accept you. You're free, you're clean, You're helping others. 238 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 4: Everyone is struggling, can't make ends, me, can't get ahead. 239 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 4: Accept you. You're blessed. Good breaks are chasing you down, 240 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 4: Opportunities are looking for you. Your gifts and talents are 241 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 4: coming out in greater ways. Why is that you're the exception? 242 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 4: Not arrogantly like you're better than someone else, but a 243 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 4: quiet confidence, knowing that you were made for more. See 244 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 4: if my father would have accepted that as his lot 245 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 4: in life, I wouldn't be standing here today. Are you 246 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 4: accepting things that are less than God's best? Have you 247 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 4: adapted to a limited environment? You have big dreams in 248 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 4: your heart. You know there's a new business in you, 249 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 4: a management, a book, a better house. But you're doing 250 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 4: as good as your friends, You've gone as far as 251 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 4: your family. No, don't settle there. Break out of that mold. 252 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 4: Nothing will be more sad than to come to the 253 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 4: end of life and realize what we could have become 254 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 4: if I'd have just lived with an out possibility mindset 255 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 4: instead of this at risk mentality. Couple of years before 256 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 4: my dad went to be with the Lord, we drove 257 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 4: back to Paris, Texas, where he was raised. Daddy wanted 258 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 4: to reminisce and showed me where he had grown up, 259 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 4: and we went out onto the land where his farm 260 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 4: used to be. The house was no longer there, but 261 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 4: we found the well, and he showed me where he 262 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 4: used to pick cotton, where he went to school, and 263 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 4: before we left town we drove around to see if 264 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 4: we could find any of his friends. We pulled up 265 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 4: to this very run down house. Really, it was nothing 266 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 4: more than a shack. It didn't even look livable. There 267 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 4: was this older gentleman on the front porch, not wearing 268 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 4: a shirt, just kind of killing time. My father went 269 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 4: up and said, I'm John Ostein, Are you so? And So? 270 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 4: It was his friend. They hadn't seen each other in 271 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 4: over sixty years. He invited us inside and the place 272 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 4: was very dilapidated. There were buckets on the ground to 273 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 4: catch the water dripping from the ceiling, broken windows boarded up. 274 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 4: We went and found several other of his friends. It 275 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 4: was the same situation, extreme poverty, defeat, mediocrity, and they 276 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 4: were good people. But it hint me how they had 277 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 4: not made anything out of their lives. They had made 278 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 4: the mistake of adapting to their environment. They accepted the 279 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 4: limitations they were born into. One man told how he 280 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 4: had worked a little here and there, had odd jobs 281 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 4: worked down at the boat docks, barely making it. Another 282 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 4: had been laid off twenty eight years earlier, not able 283 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 4: to find any more, lived off a handouts, no goals, 284 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 4: no dreams, no resources. Now they were at the end 285 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 4: of their lives. They had not tapped into their potential. 286 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 4: That day made such an impression upon me. I thought 287 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 4: about how my father was raised in the same environment. 288 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 4: He came out of the same mold, same depression, same poverty, 289 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 4: same school. But Daddy went on to touch the world, 290 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 4: pastored great churches. He made a difference with his life. 291 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 4: I saw firsthand what would have happened if my father 292 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 4: had accepted the life of defeat he was born into, 293 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 4: if he had not put his foot down and said, 294 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 4: I may have been born into mediocrity, but I am 295 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 4: not settling here. If he had not reconditioned his mind, 296 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 4: he would have been sitting right there with the rest 297 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 4: of those men. Friends. Don't go through life and miss 298 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 4: your destiny. You weren't created to get stuck, to settle, 299 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 4: stay at the place year after year. You were created 300 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 4: to excel. There is potential in you right now, just 301 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 4: waiting to come out. You have gifts that will cause 302 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 4: new doors to open, Talent that will bring new opportunities. 303 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 4: Get rid of low expectations. Quit making excuses to settle 304 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 4: where you are. You may be in some kind of 305 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 4: limited environment dysfunction, addictions, depression. The good news you don't 306 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 4: have to stay there. That is not your destiny. Somebody 307 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 4: may have labeled you at risk, but the creator of 308 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 4: the universe labels you at possibility. You've gone as far 309 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 4: as your family as your friends. That's good, But don't 310 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 4: settle there. You're the exception. You're supposed to go further. 311 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 4: Dare to take some steps of faith. Life is flying by. 312 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 4: You don't have ten years to wait around. The odds 313 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 4: may be against you, but the most high God is 314 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 4: for you. His favor on your life will cause you 315 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 4: to go where you could not go on your own. 316 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 4: If you're going to be a barrier, breaker, you have 317 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 4: to get rid of excuses. I read about an eight 318 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 4: year old boy that was born in Kansas in the 319 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 4: early nineteen hundreds. During the winter, he and his brother 320 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 4: would go to school early to light the fire in 321 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 4: the classroom so that it'd be warm when the rest 322 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 4: of the students arrived. But one morning, someone accidentally put 323 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 4: gasoline in the kerosene container that he used to start 324 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 4: the fire. When he lit the match, there was a 325 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 4: huge explosion. His brother was instantly killed. The teacher came 326 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 4: running and found this little boy unconscious, with the lower 327 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 4: half of his body burned beyond recognition. She pulled him 328 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 4: out of the fire, thinking that he was dead. Somehow 329 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 4: he had survived. He lost most of the skin and 330 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 4: muscles on his legs. His mother was told if he 331 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 4: did make it, he would be crippled, never able to 332 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 4: walk again. But this little boy was a fighter. Against 333 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 4: all odds, he survived. He made up his mind he 334 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 4: was not only going to walk again, but he told 335 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 4: everyone one day he would run again. His favorite scripture 336 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 4: was found in Isaiah forty. They that wait upon the 337 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 4: Lord will renew their strength. They will run and not 338 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 4: be weary. They will walk and not faint as an 339 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 4: age year old boy, he had a spirit of faith. 340 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 4: He believed he could divide the odds. Months later, he 341 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 4: was sent home from the hospital with no feeling or 342 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 4: movement in his legs. Every day his mother would take 343 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 4: him outside in the wheelchairs so he could get some sunshine. 344 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 4: One afternoon, when she wasn't watching, he grabbed onto the 345 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 4: picket fence and pulled himself up state by stake. He 346 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 4: began to drag himself along. He did this day after day, 347 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 4: teaching himself how to walk again. They didn't have physical 348 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 4: therapy for him to go to. He was his own 349 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 4: physical therapist. Two years after the accident, he stood up 350 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 4: for the first time. Wasn't long after that he was 351 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 4: not only walking, he began to run. He became extremely 352 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 4: fast in college on the track team. He won so 353 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 4: many medals he became known as the Kansas City Flyer. 354 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 4: Nineteen thirty four, Glenn Cunningham, the young man that was 355 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 4: told he had never walk again, broke the world record 356 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 4: in the mile row. If you're going to be a 357 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 4: barrier breaker, you have to get rid of the excuses. 358 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 4: Quit thinking about what you didn't get, what you can't do. 359 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 4: How the odds are against you. You and God are 360 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 4: a majority. You have what you need. You're a barrier breaker. 361 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 4: You can defy the odds. You can beat the cancer. 362 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 4: You can break the addiction. You can start the new business. 363 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 4: You can go further than the experts have told you. 364 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 4: Like Glenn, you have to recondition your mind. Instead of 365 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 4: dwelling on all the negative things people have set about you, 366 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 4: dwell on what God says about you. I will run 367 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 4: and not be weary. Or instead of you can't break 368 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 4: that addiction. I can do all things through Christ, whom 369 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 4: the sun sets free, is free. Indeed, instead of ah, man, 370 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 4: you've reached your limits. This is not for you today. No, 371 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 4: the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter. God's 372 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 4: plans for me are for good and not evil. To 373 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 4: give me a future and a hope. Nothing will happen 374 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 4: until you change your mind. Glenn could have laid there thinking, Wow, 375 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 4: too bad for me. I lost my legs. I'll never 376 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 4: do anything great. We wouldn't be talking about him. Are 377 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 4: there strongholds keeping you back? Have you adapted to an 378 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 4: environment letting what people have said, what's around you set 379 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 4: limits for your life. God is saying this is a 380 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 4: new day. You're a burier breaker. I'm gonna take you 381 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 4: further than you've imagined. I'm gonna help you set a 382 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 4: new standard to defy the odds. Now do your part. 383 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 4: Let this seed take root in your spirit. Don't talk 384 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 4: yourself out of it. Get in agreement with God. For years, 385 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 4: experts said no one would ever be able to run 386 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 4: a mile under four minutes. They studied the human body 387 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 4: and thought it would collapse under that much pressure. Scientists 388 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 4: said it was not only dangerous to try, but it 389 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 4: was literally impossible. But a young man named Roger Banister 390 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 4: didn't believe the negative reports. He didn't let his mind 391 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 4: become conditioned to think that it couldn't be done. In 392 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 4: May of nineteen fifty six, he made history by running 393 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 4: a mile under four minutes. What's interesting is, forty six 394 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 4: days later, someone else broke the four minute mile. Within 395 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 4: ten years, three hundred and thirty six people had run 396 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 4: the mile under four minutes. Time hadn't happened for years. 397 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 4: Now it was happening all the time. Why was that 398 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 4: the barrier was broken in their mind? For years they 399 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 4: believe what the expert said. They were convinced in their 400 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 4: own thinking that it couldn't happen. Once that barrier was removed, 401 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 4: they were able to do things that seemed impossible. Has 402 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 4: your mind become conditioned to think you can't accomplish your dreams, 403 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 4: you can't get well, you'll never break that addiction. If 404 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 4: you'll do like Roger and recondition your mind, start thinking better, 405 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 4: believing that you're a can do person, knowing that you 406 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 4: have seeds of greatness, you too will break barriers that 407 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 4: you thought were impossible. Here's the beauty. When you break 408 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 4: a barrier, you make it easier on those that come 409 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 4: after you. You're paving the way for your children, for 410 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 4: your relatives. That's what it means to set a new standard. 411 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 4: That's what my dad did when he broke that curse 412 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 4: of poverty. He took our family to a new level. 413 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 4: Because he broke that barrier, I was able to s 414 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 4: are much further along. When my dad went to be 415 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 4: with the Lord, he left us with that eight thousand 416 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 4: seat auditorium. I could have settled there and thought this 417 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 4: is okay, I'm doing as good as my parents. But 418 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 4: I did what I'm asking you to do. I stirred 419 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 4: up my gifts and said God I know I'm not 420 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 4: supposed to stay at the same level as my parents. 421 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 4: I took a step of faith. God opened the door 422 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 4: to this place, the former Compact center. It's several times 423 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 4: larger than our former facility. That's the way it's supposed 424 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 4: to be. God is a progressive god. He wants every 425 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 4: generation to increase. There was a young man in the 426 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 4: scripture named Hezekiah. He was raised in a very dysfunctional home. 427 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 4: His father was Ahaz, king of Judah. He set up 428 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 4: idols for the people to worship. He was a very 429 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 4: hard king and cruel to the people because he didn't 430 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 4: honor God. The nation went downhill became very poor. Five 431 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 4: different armies came against Judah. They lost every battle. The 432 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 4: place was decimated. You would think AHAs would learn his lesson, 433 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 4: turned to God, asked for his health, but it was 434 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 4: just the opposite. He closed the doors of the temple. 435 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 4: He began to sell off the sacred treasures. Hezekiah was 436 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 4: raised in this environment of compromise, defeat mediocrity. He could 437 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 4: have turned out like his dad. He could have adapted 438 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 4: to that environment. But Hezekiah understood this principle when he 439 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 4: became king. The first thing he did before repairing the roads, 440 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 4: before getting the economy going. Hezekiah reopened the temple. He 441 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 4: turned the nation back toward God. His father chose to compromise, 442 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 4: chose to push people down. But Hezekiah's attitude was i 443 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 4: may have been born into mediocrity, but I'm not settling here. 444 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 4: I'm going to put an end to this generational curse 445 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 4: and I'm going to start a generational blessing. Hezekiah was 446 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 4: a barrier breaker. You may be in some kind of 447 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 4: limited environment. If Hezekiah were here today, he would tell 448 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 4: you don't have to stay there. How you start is 449 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 4: not important. How you finish is what matters. Do yourself 450 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 4: and your family a favor, break out of that mold. 451 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 4: Don't pass negative things down to the next generation. You 452 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 4: can be the difference maker. You can be the one 453 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 4: that sets your family on a course to honoring God, 454 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 4: a course of blessing, favor, and victory. I'm asking you 455 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 4: to recondition your mind, get rid of strongholds that are 456 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 4: keeping you back. You're not at risk, You're at possibility. 457 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 4: Stir up your seeds of greatness. Be a barrier breaker. 458 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 4: If you'll do this, I believe and declare God is 459 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 4: going to breathe on your life in a new way. 460 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 4: You're going to go beyond barriers of the past, overcome, obstinate, 461 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 4: accomplish dreams. You're going to become everything God created you 462 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 4: to be in Jesus' name. And if you receive it, 463 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 4: can you say men today? We never like to close 464 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 4: our broadcast without giving you an opportunity to make Jesus 465 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 4: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 466 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 4: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 467 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 4: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. Friends, 468 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 4: if you've prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 469 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 4: born again.
