I like to start with something 45 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 5: funny and I heard about this young lady. She came 46 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 5: home from a date very sad. She told her mother 47 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 5: that her boyfriend just proposed to her. Her mother said, well, 48 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 5: why are you so sad, She said, because he told 49 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 5: me he's an atheist. Mom, he doesn't even believe that 50 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 5: there's a hell. Her mother said, marry him anyway. Between 51 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 5: the two of us, we'll prove to him how wrong 52 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 5: he is. Hold up your Bible. Say it like you 53 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 5: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 54 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 5: says I am. I have what it says I have. 55 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 5: I can do what it says I can do. Today 56 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 5: I will be taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess. 57 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 5: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 58 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 5: never be the In Jesus' name, God bless you. I 59 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 5: want to talk to you today about shame off you. 60 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 5: We've all heard the phrase shame on you, starting from 61 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 5: a child. You didn't clean your room, Shame on you. 62 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 5: You were mean to your little sister. Shame on you. 63 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 5: Even as adults. We may not hear it out loud, 64 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 5: but it plays in our thoughts. It fell back into 65 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 5: that bad habit. Shame on you. You went through a divorce, 66 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 5: Shame on you. We don't realize how destructive shame is. 67 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 5: We use it to try to convince people to do better, 68 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 5: but shame does just the opposite, causes us to feel guilty, unworthy, 69 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 5: like we don't deserve to be blessed. A young lady 70 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 5: told me how she had a baby when she was 71 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 5: a teenager and she wasn't able to keep it. She 72 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 5: put it up for adoption. Now ten years later she said, 73 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 5: I feel so ashamed I abandoned my baby. I can't 74 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 5: sleep at night think it about what a terrible mother 75 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 5: I am. That voice is constantly whispering shame on you. 76 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 5: Shame is one of the enemy's favorite tools. He's called 77 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 5: the accuser. He'll remind you of every mistake, every failure, 78 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 5: even things that weren't your fault. He'll try to deceive 79 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 5: you into thinking that you were to blame. People that 80 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 5: were abused as a child had no choice in it. 81 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 5: He'll whisper you're not good enough, you deserved it, that's 82 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 5: why they mistreated you. He'll try to twist it and 83 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 5: convince you to carry around all this heaviness. But the 84 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 5: scripture talks about how God has removed our shame, whether 85 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 5: it was your fault, or somebody else's. You don't have 86 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 5: to carry the heavy load of guilt, beating yourself up, 87 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 5: feeling wrong on the inside. When the enemy says shame 88 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 5: on you, God says, shame off you. I've forgiven you, 89 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 5: I've redeemed you, I've made you valuable. And what people 90 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 5: did or didn't do to you, they don't determine your worth. 91 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 5: Your worth comes from your creator, the most High God 92 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 5: breathed his life into you. He crowned you with his favor. 93 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 5: He calls you a masterpiece. Don't go around as shamed, guilty, condemned. 94 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 5: Shake off the shame every time you hear that voice 95 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 5: whispering shame on you. By faith, you need to hear 96 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 5: God answering back, shame off you don't accept the shame. 97 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 5: And I'm not saying a course to be flippant and think, well, 98 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 5: I made a big mistake. I hurt somebody, No big deal. No, 99 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 5: we should be remorseful, ask for forgiveness, do better next time. 100 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,239 Speaker 5: But the problem is if you don't put your foot 101 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 5: down and say shame off me, even though God has 102 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 5: removed it, that shame will follow you around. The young 103 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 5: lady asked me, Joel, do you think God will forgive me, 104 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 5: I said, I know God will forgive you. The real 105 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 5: question is will you forgive yourself? Will you shake off 106 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 5: the shame? I found it's more difficult to forgive ourself 107 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 5: than it is to forgive other people. The enemy knows 108 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 5: if we feel wrong on the inside, we'll never become 109 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 5: who we were created to be. That's why he works 110 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 5: over time to try to bring guilt, shame, make you 111 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 5: feel like you don't deserve to be blessed. You have 112 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 5: to turn off the accusing voices. You may have made mistakes, 113 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 5: but the moment you ask God to forgive you, he 114 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 5: not only forgave you, he took it one step further. 115 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 5: He doesn't remember it anymore. And when those thoughts try 116 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 5: to remind you of mistakes of the past, saying things like, 117 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 5: shame on you, you were unfaithful in that relationship, Shame 118 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 5: on you. You were dishonest in the business deal. Shame 119 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 5: on you. You were rude to that family member last month. 120 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 5: You've already asked for forgiveness. That means God doesn't remember it. 121 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 5: That's a sure sign the accuser is at work. You 122 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 5: can either accept the shame, feel wrong on the inside, 123 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 5: or you can rise up and say no, shame off me. 124 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 5: I know I've been forgiven. I know God's mercies bigger 125 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 5: than this mistake. If God doesn't remember it, I'm not 126 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 5: going to remember it either. When the Israelites had been 127 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 5: in slavery in Egypt for many years, they were very 128 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 5: beaten down, not only physically but emotionally. They were constantly 129 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 5: told they were no good, they couldn't do anything right, 130 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 5: they would never measure up. Over time, they let that 131 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 5: steal their sense of value. They felt inferior, insecure, like 132 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 5: they had no self worth. And when a person is 133 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 5: being mistreated abused, especially for a long time, instead of 134 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 5: recognizing that the other person is doing them wrong, it's 135 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 5: easy for them to accept the blame and start thinking 136 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 5: they deserve what's happening. Before long, they're not only ashamed 137 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 5: of what's happening, but they start to become ashamed of 138 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 5: who they are. That's the way the Israelites felt, That's 139 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 5: how the enemy twist things. But after four hundred and 140 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 5: thirty years, God brought them out of the slavery, out 141 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 5: of the abuse. Just as they were about to enter 142 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 5: the Promised Land, God said to them, this day I 143 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 5: have rolled away the reproach of Egypt off of you. 144 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 5: Reproach means shame, blame, disgrace. Notice, they couldn't go into 145 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 5: the Promised Land with the shame, feeling unworthy, not valuable. 146 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 5: God had to roll away the reproach. In the same way, 147 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 5: before you can reach your highest potential, you have to 148 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 5: get rid of any shame. You may have made mistakes, 149 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 5: People may have done you wrong, but you can't sit 150 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 5: around guilty, condemned, blaming you, blaming others. Whatever. Your Egypt 151 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 5: is a divorce, an addiction, somebody that did you wrong. 152 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 5: God is saying this day, not tomorrow, not next week, 153 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 5: not six months from now. Today, God is rolling away 154 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 5: the reproach. He's rolling away the guilt, rolling away the shame. 155 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 5: Now it's up to you to accept it. You have 156 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 5: to quit dwelling on your failures, quit believing those lies 157 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 5: that you've made too many mistakes, you've been hurt too badly. 158 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 5: Know the reproach has been rolled away. When you get 159 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 5: up in the morning and you hear those voices and 160 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 5: they come to all of us, shame on you, you 161 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 5: have to answer right back, No shame off of me. 162 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 5: I know my reproach has been taken away. I know 163 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 5: this man, he was happily married, has a good family, 164 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 5: but he let his guard down and God involved with 165 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 5: another woman. They were friends at work and the heat 166 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 5: of the moment it turned into something else. It happened 167 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 5: that one time that was it. He felt so badly 168 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 5: about it. He knew it was wrong. He asked God 169 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 5: to forgive him, But year after year went by and 170 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 5: he still felt this heaviness on the inside. He knew 171 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 5: God had forgiven him, but he couldn't forgive himself. On 172 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 5: the outside, he looked fine, he was happy, but on 173 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 5: the inside he had this sense of shame, guilt, like 174 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 5: he had to settle for second best. And one day 175 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 5: a minister that he respected pulled him to the side 176 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 5: and said, whatever is holding you back, whatever lie is 177 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 5: keeping you from rising higher, today that power is being broken. 178 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 5: God is about to release you to a new level 179 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 5: of your destiny. This man began to weep and weep 180 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 5: all the guilt, the shame, the heaviness that he had 181 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 5: allowed to become a part of his life. It suddenly 182 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 5: live did off of him. It was like a chain 183 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 5: was broken, a stronghold came down. For years, he had 184 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 5: allowed the accuser to pile on the shame, tell him 185 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 5: you don't deserve it, You blew it, sit on the sidelines. 186 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 5: God showed up and said I have the final say, 187 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 5: and I say, not shame on you, but shame off you. 188 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 5: In that moment, he was chained. Maybe like him. You 189 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 5: know God has forgiven you, but you still have this 190 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 5: sense of unworthiness, like you don't deserve it. You could 191 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 5: never reach your highest potential friends. That shame has held 192 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 5: you back long enough. Today God has removed the reproach. 193 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 5: Today the chains have been broken, burdens have been lifted. 194 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 5: God is saying shame off of you. Now you have 195 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 5: to get in agreement. Quit listening to the accusing voices, 196 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 5: Quit believing the lies. That you have to settle for 197 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 5: second best. Nothing you've done is a surprise to God. 198 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 5: He's not up in the heaven scratching his head. He said, 199 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 5: oh man, I didn't see that last mistake coming. They 200 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 5: threw me off. 201 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:08,599 Speaker 3: No. 202 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 5: God had the mercy before you made the mistake. He 203 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 5: had the solution before you had the problem. Why don't 204 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 5: you shake off the shame, shake off the guilt. This 205 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 5: is a new day. The reproach has been rolled away. 206 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 5: Here's a key. Don't let one negative event become your identity. 207 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 5: Don't let one failure, a divorce, a bankruptcy, and addiction 208 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 5: become who you are. It's easy to take all the blame. 209 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 5: Let it consume you. Before long, you become known as 210 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 5: the man who blew his marriage, the woman that was abused, 211 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 5: the young person that has the addiction. No, that's what 212 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 5: you did. That's not who you are. That's what happened 213 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 5: to you. That is not your identity. The enemy would 214 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 5: love to stick these labels on us. Did unfaithful, divorced, 215 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 5: bad parent. Don't believe those lies. You may struggle with 216 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 5: an addiction, but you are not an addict. What you 217 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 5: do does not change your identity. You are still a 218 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 5: child of the Most High God. You may have failed 219 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 5: in some area of your life. We all have, but 220 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 5: you're not a failure. You may have had some bad breaks, 221 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 5: but you are not a victim. When those thoughts of 222 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 5: guilt and shame try to relabel you, you have to 223 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 5: remind yourself. I am not who people say I am. 224 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 5: I am not whose circumstances say I am. I am 225 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 5: who God says I am. God says I am approved, 226 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 5: I am accepted, I am valuable, I am a masterpiece. 227 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 5: In the scripture, names had a lot more meaning and 228 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 5: significance than they have today. Isaac had a son, and 229 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 5: he named him Jacob. Jacob means trickster, swindler, deceiver. Every 230 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 5: time someone said hello Jacob, they were saying hello, trickster, 231 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 5: Good morning Jacob, good morning, con man. It's time to 232 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 5: go to school, Jacob, time to go to school. Cheater. 233 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 5: He had heard this so long he didn't know any better. 234 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 5: He became exactly what people called him. For years, he 235 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 5: was told, you're a con man. He conned his brother 236 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 5: Esau out of his inheritance. You're a cheater. He cheated 237 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 5: his uncle went around tricking people. Later in life, Jacob 238 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 5: got tired of living like that. One night, he went 239 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 5: down to the brook to get alone with God. An 240 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 5: angel appeared unto him in the form of a man. 241 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 5: The angel asked Jacob what his name was. He said, 242 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 5: I am Jacob. He was saying, I am a cheater, 243 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 5: I am a deceiver, I am dishonest. The angel didn't say, 244 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 5: you're right, Jacob. You've lived a really terrible life. You 245 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 5: ought to be a shamed to yourself. The Angel said, 246 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 5: you are not Jacob. He was saying you are not 247 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 5: a deceiver. You may have let people talk you into that, 248 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 5: but that is not your true identity. The angel told Jacob, 249 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 5: God has a new name for you. Instead of Jacob, 250 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 5: you will now be called Israel. Israel means prince with God. 251 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 5: God took this man that had lived a life of dishonesty, 252 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 5: God around cheating people, instead of giving him what he deserved. 253 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 5: Instead of shaking his finger saying shame on you, Jacob, 254 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 5: God said, shame off you. 255 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 4: Jacob. 256 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 5: You're my son. I have destined you to leave your 257 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 5: mark in your generation, not in disgrace, not as a failure. 258 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 5: I've called you to be a prince. I've called you 259 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 5: to reign in life. First thing God had to do 260 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 5: was remove the reproach. God had to get the shame 261 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 5: off of him. Are you wearing any negative labels today? 262 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 5: Have you let circumstances, failures, or even people put a 263 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 5: label on you that says not valuable, not worthy, addicted, 264 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 5: bad parent, blew his marriage, didn't raise his children right, 265 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 5: doesn't deserve to be blessed. Friends, This is what grace 266 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 5: is all about. None of us deserve it. But God says, 267 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 5: I'm gonna bless you anyway. I know your true identity. 268 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 5: I've breathed my life into you. You may feel like Jacob, 269 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 5: you've made some poor choices. You could easily live with 270 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 5: that sense of shame. But God in effect is changing 271 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 5: our names today to prince, to princes, to redeem, to forgiven, 272 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 5: to highly favored people. Jacob could have easily told the angel, 273 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 5: I don't see how God could ever make me a prince. 274 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 5: I've made so many bad choices. No, he accepted it 275 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 5: into his spirit. He agreed with what God said. In fact, 276 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 5: he told the angel, I'm not leaving here until you 277 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 5: bless me. He was saying, I may not deserve it, 278 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 5: but since the shame has been rolled away, I'm asking 279 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 5: for favor, I'm asking for new levels. I'm asking for 280 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 5: the fullness of my destiny. God didn't say, Jacob, who 281 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 5: do you think you are? I'm gonna bless you. You 282 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 5: know the life you've lived. God said Jacob. I like 283 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 5: your boldness. I like the fact that you shook off 284 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 5: the shame. You got rid of the guilt. Now you're 285 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 5: ready to step up to who I've created you to be. 286 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 5: You live like that God will bless you in amazing ways, 287 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 5: even if you're still struggling in an area. There is 288 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 5: no shame to ask for help. Sometimes we think we're 289 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 5: supposed to be perfect. We can't let anybody know we 290 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 5: have a bad habit, an addiction, this struggle. We'd be embarrassed. No, 291 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 5: don't let shame keep you ey isolated. Real healing begins 292 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 5: when we get honest. The scripture says, confess your faults 293 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 5: one to another, and you will be healed. Some things 294 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 5: you can't overcome on your own. You need somebody to 295 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 5: stand in faith with you. 296 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 4: Now. 297 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 5: I'm not saying that you have to announce it, but 298 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 5: you can find a person that you can trust to 299 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 5: walk with you through it. There's something about getting it 300 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 5: out in the open. Don't let the fear of what 301 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 5: other people think keep you from your miracle. I've learned 302 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 5: everybody is dealing with something. The people that you think 303 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 5: have it all together look fine on the outside. They're 304 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 5: good at pretending everyone has issues. It's easy to hide 305 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 5: things and only let people see what we want them 306 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 5: to see. The same person that comes to church on 307 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 5: Sunday and waves to you so friendly on Monday, if 308 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 5: you cut them off in traffic. They may wave to 309 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 5: you with one finger in the air and not saying 310 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 5: one way Jesus, the other person comes out. Even in 311 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 5: the scripture, some of the heroes of faith, they all 312 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 5: had their weaknesses. One day Peter was preaching to thousands, 313 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 5: telling a crippled man to rise and walk. Another day, 314 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 5: he was cursing people out, denying that he knew Jesus. 315 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 5: One day, David was defeating a giant leading God's people. 316 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 5: Another day he was committing adultery, having the lady's husband killed. 317 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 5: He was so ashamed of himself he tried to hide 318 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 5: it for a year. Finally got it out in the open, 319 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 5: confessed his faults. God restored him. One day, Noah was 320 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 5: building an arc saving his family. Another day he was 321 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 5: getting drunk running around naked. You think you have issues, 322 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 5: you have nothing to be ashamed of. And here's another thought. 323 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 5: Most likely the thing you're struggling with didn't start with you. 324 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,239 Speaker 5: They were passed down. Now this is your opportunity to 325 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 5: put an end to it. You can be the one 326 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 5: to break the negative cycle in your family. The first 327 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 5: step shake off the shame. Don't be embarrassed, don't try 328 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 5: to hide it. You don't have to go through life pretending. 329 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 5: If you'll get honest, go to God and ask him 330 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 5: for help. Find a friend to stick with you. In 331 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 5: the faith, you can overcome anything that's holding you back. 332 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 5: The forces that are for you are greater than the 333 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 5: forces that are against you. I received a letter from 334 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 5: a teenage girl that lives in another state. She told 335 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 5: how she struggled with anorexia. She wouldn't hardly eat anything. 336 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 5: She got to where she was skin and bones. On 337 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 5: top of that, she was cutting herself. It's the only 338 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 5: way she could find relief from the pain she felt 339 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 5: on the inside. She came from a well respected family, 340 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 5: was too embarrassed to tell anyone. She felt ashamed of 341 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 5: who she was guilty for injuring herself. She knew it 342 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 5: was wrong, but she kept hearing the voices. You're not valuable, 343 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 5: you're no good. Look at you. That's what the enemy 344 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 5: loves to do. Heep on the guilt, the shame. He 345 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 5: knows it will keep us from our destiny. And she 346 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 5: got to the point where she wouldn't look anyone in 347 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 5: the eyes. She was so beaten down. One day she 348 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 5: heard me on TV talking about how God will heal 349 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 5: your hurts. He'll give you beauty for ashes. How there's 350 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,479 Speaker 5: no shame and being honest and going to God and 351 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 5: asking for help. She made a decision that day that 352 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 5: she wasn't going to pretend anymore. She told her parents 353 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 5: what was going on. They got her the help she needed. 354 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 5: Long story short, Today she's not only healthy, whole, free, 355 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 5: but she's a counselor helping other young people that are 356 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 5: struggling in that same sit away from me. That's what 357 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 5: happens when you shake off the shame. God will take 358 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 5: your scars and turn them into stars. He'll use you 359 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 5: to help others. Maybe you're struggling in an area right now. 360 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 5: The next time you hear that voice whispering shame on you, 361 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 5: Instead of believing that lie, beating yourself up, getting depressed, 362 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 5: why don't you rise up and say no, shame off me. 363 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 5: If you'll start shaking off the guilt, the shame, then 364 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 5: you can enter into your promised land. That's when you'll 365 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 5: see the healing, the breakthrough, the new levels. Some people 366 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 5: are living with a sense of shame because something that 367 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 5: happened that wasn't even their fault. They were mistreated, growing up. 368 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 5: Somebody took advantage of them, the way the enemy twists things, 369 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 5: so he'll try to convince you it was your fault. 370 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 5: You deserved it. If you would have been better, that 371 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 5: wouldn't have happened. Don't believe those lies. Can't help how 372 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 5: someone treated you when you were younger, If they did 373 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 5: you wrong, the problem wasn't with you, The problem was 374 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 5: with them. God said he will be your vindicator. God 375 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 5: saw what happened. He saw the injustice. You may think, 376 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 5: nobody knows what I've endured. Nobody knows the hurt, the shame, 377 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 5: the pain. But God knows. He saw every person that 378 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 5: lifted a finger against you. He saw every lonely night, 379 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 5: every tear, every hurt. And God said in Isaiah fifty four, 380 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 5: you will forget the shame of your youth. You will 381 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 5: not remember the reproach. God is going to pay you 382 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 5: back for that injustice in such a way that you 383 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 5: don't even remember what happened. It's not going to be 384 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 5: on the forefront of your mind. He's going to make 385 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 5: your life so blessed, so rewarding, so fulfilling, you won't 386 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 5: even think about those people that hurt you. Now do 387 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 5: your part, forgive the people that did you wrong. As 388 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 5: long as you continue to dwell on it, you're allowing 389 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 5: them to continue to hurt you. Let it go. What 390 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 5: they did did not change your identity. You're still a masterpiece. 391 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 5: You're still wearing a crown of favor. You're still destined 392 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 5: to do great things. Why don't you take off the 393 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 5: old labels that say damaged, mistreated, abused, put on some 394 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 5: new labels, accepted, approved, valuable, masterpiece. When you do that, 395 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 5: God promises you will not only forget the shame of 396 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 5: your past, but he takes it a step further Isaiah 397 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 5: sixty one. He said, instead of your former shame, you 398 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 5: shall receive a twofold recompense. Instead of dishonor and reproach, 399 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 5: you will possess double what you forfeited. You may have 400 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 5: had some unfair things happen, but stay in faith. Because 401 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 5: of that injustice, God is going to pay you back double. 402 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 5: Because of what happened. The person that walked out and 403 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 5: broke your heart, the people that mistreated you made you 404 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 5: feel ashamed, that did not go unnoticed. God saw it. 405 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 5: He's going to pay you back with double the joy, 406 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 5: double the peace, double the honor, double the fulfillment. Your 407 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 5: life is going to be richer because or in spite 408 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 5: of that injustice. Now, this promise won't do us any 409 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 5: good if we sit back, ashamed, guilty, beating ourselves up. 410 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 5: Put your shoulders back, hold your head up high. Nothing 411 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 5: that was done to you, nothing that you've done, has 412 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,719 Speaker 5: changed your identity. You are still a child of the 413 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 5: most High God. His plans for you are still for 414 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 5: good and not evil. You may have had some bad breaks, 415 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 5: but really those setbacks were a set up for God 416 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 5: to bring you out with double. I know a lady 417 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 5: that always struggled with her self worth. She never felt 418 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 5: like she was good enough. This insecurity came from being 419 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 5: born out of wedlock. Her mother and father weren't married, 420 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 5: and as a child, she saw on her birth certificate 421 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 5: the little box that was checked that said illegitimate. That 422 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 5: phrase became ingrained in her thinking all through her childhood 423 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 5: her teenage years, she felt inferior. Anytime she tried to 424 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 5: move forward, she'd hear voices whispering, you weren't wanted, You're 425 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,199 Speaker 5: not valuable, there's something wrong with you. She went around 426 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 5: with this sense of shame, unworthiness. She was wearing the label, illegitimate, 427 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 5: not up to par. One day, I was talking about 428 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 5: how our worth and value doesn't come from people, it 429 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 5: comes from God. She said it was like something exploded 430 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 5: on the inside. Instead of believing those lies that she 431 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 5: should be ashamed that she has no value, she started 432 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 5: reprogramming her thinking, I am not an accident. I am 433 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 5: not a mistake. I've been handpicked by Almighty God. I 434 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 5: am fearfully and wonderfully made. Her attitude was, no matter 435 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 5: what my birth certificate says, I know I am legitimate. 436 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 5: The most High God breathes his life into me. Today 437 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 5: she is living a free, blessed, confident, faithful life, just 438 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 5: like God promised. She doesn't remember the shame of her youth. 439 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 5: Are you carrying around any guilt, shame, heaviness? Friends, this 440 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,479 Speaker 5: is your day to be free. The reproach has been 441 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 5: rolled away. The door is open, but you have to 442 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 5: walk out of it. Take off the negative labels. When 443 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 5: the enemy whispers shame on you, answer right back, No, 444 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 5: shame off me, and forgiven. I've been redeemed. I am valuable. 445 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 5: If you'll do this, I believe and declare every chain 446 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 5: is being broken. God is going to pay you back. 447 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 5: Double for that injustice. You're going to enter into your 448 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 5: promised land and become everything God's created you to be 449 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 5: in Jesus' name. And if you receive it today, can 450 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 5: you say a man, We never like to close our 451 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 5: broadcast without giving you an opportunity to make Jesus the 452 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 5: lord of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 453 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 5: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I 454 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 5: make you my Lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed 455 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 5: that simple prayer, we believe you got born again.
