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