He was standing in 44 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 3: the church lobby staring at the large plaque on the wall. 45 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 3: It was filled with names with small American flags by 46 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 3: their side. He asked the pastor what all the names 47 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: were for. The pastor explained how that was a memorial 48 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 3: to all the young men and women that died in 49 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: the service. The little boy stood there silently, so concerned, 50 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: he finally looked up and asked, was it the eight 51 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 3: thirty or eleven o'clock service? Say it like you mean it. 52 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 3: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 53 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. I can do 54 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 3: what it says I can do. Today I will be 55 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 3: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 56 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 3: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 57 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 3: the same. Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to 58 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 3: talk to you today about recognizing your value. Too often 59 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 3: we base our value on how someone is treating us, 60 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 3: how successful we are, how perfect of a life we've lived. 61 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 3: The problem is all of those things can change. If 62 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 3: you're getting your value out of how people treat you, 63 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 3: then if they hurt you, they disappoint you, you're going 64 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 3: to feel devalued. If you're basing your value off of 65 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: your achievements, how much you make what you drive, the 66 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 3: title behind your name. Then if something happens and you 67 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 3: don't have that position, your business goes down, then your 68 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: value will go down. And some people don't feel good 69 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 3: about themselves because they've made mistakes in life. They're not 70 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: where they thought they would be. Now, they're living insecure, 71 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 3: feeling inferior. They're basing their value on their performance. Here's 72 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: the key. Your value should be based solely on the 73 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 3: fact that you are a child of the most high God, 74 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 3: the creator of the universe, breaths his life into you. 75 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: How someone treats you doesn't change your value. What they 76 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: say or do doesn't lessen who you are. Mistakes you've 77 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 3: made doesn't decrease your value. That's what you did. That's 78 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 3: not who you are. You can buy a bigger house, 79 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: drive a better car, but that doesn't make you any 80 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 3: more valuable. That increases your net worth, not your self worth. 81 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 3: You were already valuable when you had the small apartment 82 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 3: and no title behind your name. That position may give 83 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: you more influence, but not more value. You can be 84 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 3: a stay at home mom raising your children. You may 85 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 3: not have the influence of the CEO, but you have 86 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 3: the same value. Value is not based on what you do, 87 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 3: what you make, who you know. That's superficial. Those things 88 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 3: can change. Your value comes from your creator. God breathed 89 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 3: his life into you. You have the DNA of Almighty God. 90 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: You have royalty in your blood. But the enemy works 91 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 3: over time trying to devalue us. He'd love for you 92 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: to go through life letting what people say make you 93 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: feel inferior, comparing your life to somebody else's thinking. You'll 94 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 3: feel good about yourself when you catch up to them, 95 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 3: when you live in that neighborhood, or when you perform perfectly, 96 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 3: when you break the addiction, then you'll feel valuable. But 97 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 3: nothing you do will make you any more valuable. Nothing 98 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 3: you achieve, nothing you overcome. You are valuable right now. 99 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 3: God calls you a masterpiece. You are one of a kind. 100 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 3: You didn't come off an assembly life. You weren't mass produced. 101 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 3: God made you unique. There will never be another. 102 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 6: You. 103 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: Put your shoulders back, start carrying yourself with confidence. You 104 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 3: have been fearfully and wonderfully made. In Luke chapter four, 105 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 3: Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, where 106 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 3: he was tempted three times. He'd been out there for 107 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,679 Speaker 3: forty days and hadn't eaten anything. The enemy said to him, 108 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: if you're the son of God, turn these stones into bread. 109 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 3: He was trying to make his value be based on 110 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 3: his performance. If you turn these stones into bread, you 111 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 3: can prove you're the son of God. Then you can 112 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 3: feel good about yourself. You performed a miracle. Jesus wouldn't 113 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 3: do it, he said, man doesn't live by bread alone. 114 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 3: He was saying, in effect, I don't have to do 115 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: anything to prove who I am. I don't have to 116 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: perform to feel good about myself. I know who I am. 117 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 3: The enemy couldn't deceive him into getting his value out 118 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 3: of being performance based, so he tried possession based. He 119 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: took Jesus to a high place, showed him all the 120 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 3: kingdoms of the world. He said, you can have it 121 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 3: all if you'll just bow down and worship me. Jesus said, no, thanks. 122 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 3: I don't need possessions to prove my worth and value. 123 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 3: I don't have to have what you think is important 124 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,559 Speaker 3: to feel good about who I am. Possession based didn't work. 125 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 3: Performance based didn't work, so the enemy tried one final thing, popularity. 126 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 3: He took Jesus to the highest place in the temple 127 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 3: was very crowded below all kinds of people. He said, 128 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 3: if you're the son of God, jump off this building. 129 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 3: You said your angels would protect you. He was trying 130 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 3: to get Jesus to show off. Everybody would see and 131 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,559 Speaker 3: be amazed. He'd gain instant popularity. Jesus said it again, 132 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 3: I don't need possession, I don't need popularity. I don't 133 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 3: need performance to feel valuable. I know who I am. 134 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 3: I'm the son of the living God. The enemy tried 135 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 3: to deceive Jesus into proving who he was, and a 136 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 3: lot of people live in approving mode. They can't feel 137 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 3: good about themselves unless they prove the people they're important, 138 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 3: prove to their coworker their talented, prove to their critics 139 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 3: that they really are okay. There's a constant struggle. They're 140 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 3: always having to outdo, outperform, outdrive, outdress. It's very freeing 141 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 3: when you realize you don't have to prove anything, you 142 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 3: don't have to impress people, take the pressure off. It 143 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 3: takes a lot of energy to compete, to prove, to impress. 144 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 3: If you live in approving mode, it's like you're on 145 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 3: a treadmill. As soon as you prove to one person 146 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 3: you're okay. You'll see somebody else you need to impress 147 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 3: to never ending cycle. Get off that treadmill. You're working 148 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 3: hard but not going anywhere. You don't have to prove anything. 149 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 3: And these days there's so much emphasis on name brands. 150 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 3: We're wearing so and so designer shoes and so and 151 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: so sunglasses, and carrying a so and so perse, driving 152 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 3: a so and so card, talking on a so and 153 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 3: so's cell phone. If you're really cool, you got on 154 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 3: so and so underwear, you can feel good about yourself. 155 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: Sometimes we have so many other names on us. We 156 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 3: don't know our own name. We're counting on all the 157 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 3: name brands, all the outside labels to make us feel important. 158 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 3: Can I tell you your name is more important than 159 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 3: all those names combined. No disrespect to them, But the 160 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 3: difference between you and the name brand is God breathed 161 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 3: his life into you. You're a son, you're a daughter 162 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 3: of the most High God. And there's nothing wrong with 163 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 3: owning it, driving it, wearing it. But don't let it 164 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 3: be the reason you feel good about who you are. 165 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 3: Because what's hot today, what's the latest, greatest. In a 166 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 3: few years, it'll be outdated. If you live possession based, 167 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 3: you have to run from name to name, position to position, 168 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 3: friend to friend. That's gonna wear you out. Why don't 169 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 3: you relax. You can't get any more valuable. You can 170 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 3: buy more clothes, get more friends. That doesn't change your value. 171 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 3: Whether you're wearing Gucci or Goodwill, whether it's Calvin Klein 172 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 3: or Fruit of the Loom, your value never changes. You're 173 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 3: clapping because you wear Fruit of the Loom. 174 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 2: Like me. 175 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 3: I went to the sporting goods store the other day 176 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 3: to buy some new T shirts to work out in, 177 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 3: and there were probably ten racks of shirt. Practically everyone 178 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 3: had the manufacturer's name on the front in big bold letters. 179 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 3: I thought to myself, you want me to buy your 180 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 3: shirt and then go around as a billboard for you, 181 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 3: no offense, But I don't want to wear your name. 182 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: I like my own name. Do you need somebody else's 183 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 3: name to make you feel good about yourself? Are you 184 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 3: trying to prove your worth your value by who you know, 185 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 3: what you wear, what you drive, or can you say, 186 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 3: like Jesus, I don't have to have popularity, possessions, or 187 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 3: performance to feel good about myself. I am secure in 188 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 3: who I am. I know who God made me to be. 189 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 3: When Jesus was writing into town on Palm Sunday, the 190 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 3: people laid down branches as he passed by. They celebrated, 191 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 3: shouting Hosanna, from the young to the old, waving, cheering. 192 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 3: They were so excited to see him. He received the 193 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 3: heroes welcome. But a few days later those same people, 194 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 3: instead of shouting Hosanna, they were shouting crucifying, we don't 195 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 3: want him here. When Jesus went to trial and needed 196 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 3: his closest friends to support him, his disciples, the ones 197 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: he had poured his life into, they weren't anywhere around. 198 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 3: He asked them to stay up and pray, but they 199 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 3: were too tired. They fell asleep. If you base your 200 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 3: value on people's support, how much they approve you, encourage you, 201 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 3: then if for some reason they stop doing that, you'll 202 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 3: feel devalued. As long as they're telling you you're great, 203 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 3: you'll feel great. The problem is if they change their mind, 204 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 3: they're not telling you that, you're not going to feel great. 205 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 3: You can't base your value on what people give you. 206 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 3: People are funny. They'll say you're beautiful one day, and 207 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 3: I don't care for you the next Hosannah on Sunday, 208 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 3: Crucify them on Friday. If you don't know who you 209 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: are without them, then if they leave, you'll be lost. 210 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 3: They'll take you with them. Your identity was caught up 211 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 3: in who they made you to be. You'll try to 212 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 3: find somebody else to tell you who you are. You 213 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 3: don't need people to tell you who you are. People 214 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 3: will let you down, people will get jealous, People have 215 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 3: their own issues. Let your heavenly father tell you who 216 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: you are. Get your value, your self worth, your approval 217 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 3: from him. He says you're a masterpiece. He says you're 218 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 3: want of a kind, a prized possession. Somebody may have 219 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 3: told you the opposite. You're not talented, you're not attractive, 220 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 3: you don't have a good personality. Let that go in 221 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 3: one ear and out the other. They don't determine your value. 222 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 3: What they say or do does it make you any 223 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 3: less a masterpiece. Quit letting how people treat you make 224 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 3: you feel inferior. They don't control your destiny. They didn't 225 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 3: breathe life into you. They didn't call you, they didn't 226 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 3: anoint you, they didn't approve you. Your value came from 227 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 3: your creator, from the God who spoke worlds into existence. 228 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 3: The good news is they can't change your value and 229 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: you can't change it. God put it in you before 230 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 3: you showed up. You don't need their approval, you don't 231 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 3: need their encouragement. They don't have to validate you. It's 232 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 3: good when it happens, but if you're depending on it 233 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 3: to feel secure, then if they don't do it, you're 234 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 3: going to feel inferior. Don't give away your power. Don't 235 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 3: put your identity, your value into somebody else's hands. Even 236 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 3: good people can't give you everything you need somebody that 237 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 3: loves you very much. They cannot keep you approved, validated, 238 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 3: feeling secure. You have to go to your heavenly father. 239 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 3: And sometimes we're putting pressure on people to keep us fixed, 240 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 3: keep us validated. Let them off the hook. They're not 241 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 3: your savior. You already have a savior. He's on the throne. 242 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 3: Go to him and not the people. The problem with 243 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 3: trying to get this from people is people have issues. 244 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 3: People are dealing with insecurities, fears, hurts, wounds, presentges, dysfunction. 245 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 3: They don't know any better. That's normal to them. Messed up. 246 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 3: People can mess you up. That's not profound, but it's 247 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 3: good in it. If you base your value on what 248 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: they're giving you, you can end up dysfunctional. I talked 249 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 3: to a lady recently that had a very bad childhood 250 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 3: neglect abuse. She had just gone through her second divorce. 251 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 3: Her ex husband told her that she didn't deserve to 252 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 3: be loved, and I could tell that she believed it 253 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 3: because she was down on her self, well no expression 254 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 3: on her face. I told her what I'm telling you. 255 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 3: Don't let messed up people ruin the rest of your life. 256 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 3: If somebody hurts you, there's a tendency to internalize it 257 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 3: and think there's something wrong with me. If I was 258 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 3: more attractive, he wouldn't have left. If I was smarter, 259 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 3: I wouldn't have had a bad childhood. No, it has 260 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 3: nothing to do with you. They're treating you out of 261 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 3: their hurts, their wounds. Hurting people end up hurting other people. 262 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 3: Don't let what they say define who you are. Don't 263 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 3: let what you didn't get make you feel like you're 264 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 3: to blame. They said you don't deserve to be loved. 265 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 3: That's a lie. They said you're not attractive, another lie. 266 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 3: But if you base your value on these lies, you 267 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 3: won't have any kind of self worth. Studies even show 268 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 3: that children that went through neglect abuse a bad childhood. 269 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 3: Very often they take the blame on themselves. They think 270 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 3: there's something wrong with them. This lady did the same thing. 271 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 3: She didn't think she deserved to be loved. That's the 272 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 3: enemy trying to steal your sense of value. If somebody 273 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 3: did you wrong, instead of internalizing it, have you ever 274 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 3: thought about maybe they were messed up. Maybe they felt 275 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 3: so bad about themselves, so unlovable, that they tried to 276 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 3: project it on you. I know a young man that 277 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 3: never felt like he fit in growing up. There's very 278 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 3: little love in his home. He never felt approved or celebrated. 279 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 3: It was like he was a burden. He found out 280 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 3: in his early teens that his parents always wanted a girl. 281 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 3: They were disappointed when he was born. Now he's in 282 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 3: his twenties, had his head down, insecure, feeling unworthy. I 283 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 3: told him, your parents may have wanted a girl, but 284 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 3: the creator of the universe wanted a boy. God doesn't 285 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 3: make mistakes. You're not an accident. He hand picked you. 286 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 3: He chose you before you could choose him. Your parents 287 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 3: may not have known any better, but don't let their 288 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 3: lack of approval keep you from your destiny. You didn't 289 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 3: come from your mother. You came through your mother. You 290 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 3: came from Oh, by God, I begin to tell him 291 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 3: how he was a masterpiece, called chosen, equipped, one of 292 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 3: a kind, with seeds of greatness. Nobody had ever spoken 293 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 3: faith over his life. He lifted his head, he put 294 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 3: his shoulders back. I could see a smile starting to form. 295 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 3: When you base your value on what people say or do, 296 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 3: that's going to push you down. But when you base 297 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 3: it on what God says about you, it's going to 298 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 3: lift you up. You're going to have a smile on 299 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 3: your face, a spring in your step. You're not going 300 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 3: to be put off by what you didn't get by 301 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 3: who's not supporting him like him. Maybe nobody ever told 302 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 3: you what God says about you. God says you're amazing. 303 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 3: He says he's proud of you. He says you're the 304 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 3: apple of his eye. People may not be celebrating you, 305 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 3: but you need to know God celebrates you. I've heard 306 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 3: it said if God had a refrigerator, your picture would 307 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 3: be on it. If he had a computer, you'd be 308 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 3: on the homepage. The scripture says God has your name 309 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 3: carved on the palm of his hand. He's always thinking 310 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 3: about you. You may feel like you never really got 311 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 3: the approval from your parents. From your family, even now, 312 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 3: they don't celebrate you, they don't affirm you. But the 313 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 3: truth is, it's not about you. It's about their issues, 314 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 3: their insecurities. Don't spend your life trying to get something 315 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 3: that they cannot give. I know people working eighty hours 316 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 3: a week trying to prove to their parents they're successful, 317 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 3: prove to their family they're good enough. You have to 318 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 3: let it go or you'll be frustrated. Turn to your 319 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: heavenly father. Get your approval from him. He's smiling down 320 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 3: on you. He sees you excelling. You don't have to 321 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 3: have their approval to be happy. God approves you. He's 322 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,719 Speaker 3: the one that matters. In the scripture, David didn't have 323 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 3: his father's approval. When the prophet Samuel came in to 324 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 3: annoint one of Jesse's sons, Jesse didn't even bring David 325 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 3: in from the shepherd's fields. He saw David as being inferior, 326 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 3: not talented, too young, too small. Sometimes the people closest 327 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 3: to you can't see the greatness in you. Jesse didn't 328 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 3: see a king in David. He didn't see a giant killer, 329 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 3: a strategic leader. He saw a young boy with not 330 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 3: much to offer. He dismissed him, didn't pay much attention. 331 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 3: Your family may discount you, they may leave you out. 332 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 3: Don't take it personally. Just keep being your best, getting 333 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 3: your approval from your heavenly father. This happened with Jesus. 334 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 3: His brothers didn't believe in him. They saw him as average. 335 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 3: What's the big deal, what's all the commotion, It's just Jesus. 336 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 3: The people that should have supported him the most tried 337 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 3: to make him feel inferior. The people closest to you 338 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 3: may not acknowledge your gifts, they may not see your value, 339 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 3: but God does. David was left out. It wasn't fair. 340 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 3: But when Samuel looked at the other seven sons, he said, Jesse, 341 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 3: it's none of these. Do you have any more sons? 342 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 3: People may leave you out, but God doesn't leave you out. 343 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 3: If David had to have his family's approval, he would 344 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 3: have never taken the throne. Quit trying to make people 345 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 3: before you that are never going to be for you. 346 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 3: Quit feeling inferior because somebody close to you, is not 347 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 3: celebrating you. If you needed their approval, you would get it. 348 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 3: If you're not getting it, that means you don't need 349 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 3: it to become who you were created to be. And 350 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 3: yes it may be hurtful, but it is not going 351 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 3: to keep you from your destiny. Sometimes it's God teaching 352 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 3: us to go to him and not to people. We 353 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 3: rely too much on what people think. Who believes in us? 354 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 3: And how come they're not supporting me? David's brothers made 355 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 3: fun of him, his father discounted him. He was stuck 356 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 3: out in the shepherd's fields, but instead of complaining feeling inferior, 357 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 3: he turned to God. He's the one that wrote in 358 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 3: Psalm twenty seven, if my mother and father forsake me, 359 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 3: God will adopt me as his own child. And I 360 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 3: know many of us had great parents that did their best, 361 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 3: but we all have people that are not giving us 362 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 3: their approval. They don't acnoledge our gifts, they don't see 363 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 3: what we have to offer. Don't live frustrated thinking that 364 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 3: there's something wrong with you trying to prove to them 365 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 3: who you are, trying to convince them to affirm you. 366 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 3: Let it go. There's nothing wrong with you if you 367 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 3: had to have it, they would give it. Since you 368 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 3: don't shake it off, keep your head held high, knowing 369 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 3: that your heavenly Father has approved you, accepted you, and 370 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 3: anointed you. Your value doesn't come from people, It comes 371 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 3: from your creator. A while back, somebody gave a watch 372 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,479 Speaker 3: to the Ministry. I was out of town at one 373 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 3: of our events, and a man came up and handed 374 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 3: me this nice box. I opened it. It was a 375 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 3: beautiful watch. It wasn't super fancy, but it was attractive, sporty, 376 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 3: and of course I thanked him. I'm very grateful. I 377 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 3: brought it back and put it in my desk drawer. 378 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 3: A couple of months later, I opened the drawer to 379 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 3: get something out, and there was the watch. Had forgotten 380 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 3: about it. I looked at it again, and I thought 381 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 3: it cost a couple hundred dollars. I didn't notice the 382 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 3: name brand, but for some reason, I googled it. When 383 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 3: I did, I nearly passed out. The exact watch came up. 384 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 3: It was worth over ten thousand dollars. It's from a 385 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 3: very famous, prestigious watchmaker. It looked like to me a 386 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 3: lot of other watches that I'd seen that cost several 387 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 3: hundred dollars. But because of the manufacturer, this watch was 388 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 3: extremely valuable. You could put it side by side and 389 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 3: you wouldn't see much difference. Looked average, ordinary people had 390 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 3: copied it, there were knockoffs. On the surface, it seemed 391 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 3: the same, but what gave it its value was who 392 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 3: made it. Sometimes we don't realize who we are. You 393 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 3: may feel average, ordinary, like nothing stands out, But because 394 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 3: of your maker, there's something about you you that makes 395 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 3: you extremely valuable. You're not a copy, you're not a 396 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 3: knock all. You're an original. The creator of the universe 397 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 3: is your manufacturer. You can't get any more prestigious than that. 398 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 3: But if you don't know who you are, like I 399 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 3: did with the watch, you'll discount yourself. Think it all, man, 400 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 3: I'm ordinary, nothing much to offer, nothing special about me. 401 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 3: You need to google your manufacturer. You have the fingerprints 402 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 3: of God all over you. Someone thirty nine says God, 403 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 3: I praise you because you have made me in an 404 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 3: amazing way. What you have done is wonderful. If you're 405 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 3: going to recognize your value, you have to see yourself 406 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 3: as amazing as wonderful, not because of who you are, 407 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 3: but because of who made you Now, life will try 408 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 3: to make you feel like you're anything but amazing. Disappointments, betrayal, 409 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 3: rejection will try to steal your sense of value. But 410 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 3: all through the day, despite what thoughts are telling you, 411 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 3: despite who left you out, you need to remind yourself 412 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 3: I am amazing. I am a masterpiece. I have been 413 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 3: wonderfully made. Don't discount what God has created. Don't go 414 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 3: around feeling ordinary when in fact you're extraordinary. People may 415 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 3: try to make you feel average, like David's father. You 416 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 3: don't have much to offer. Are you going to believe 417 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 3: what people say about you? Or believe what God says 418 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 3: about you? God says you're amazing? Have you ever said 419 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 3: that to yourself? It has to start on the inside. 420 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 3: I read where Tom Brady's jersey that he wore during 421 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl is worth five hundred thousand dollars. I 422 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 3: can go online and buy that same jersey for forty 423 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 3: nine dollars. It's the difference who it belongs to. Same jersey, 424 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 3: same size, same color, but one belongs to Tom Brady 425 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 3: that makes it extremely valuable. The scripture says you belong 426 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 3: to God. You may feel average, think you look ordinary. 427 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 3: Nothing special about you, but because of who you belong 428 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 3: to that makes you extremely valuable. Now my challenge, don't 429 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 3: let people discount you. Don't let your own thoughts push 430 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 3: you down. Put your shoulders back. You belong to God. 431 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 3: You don't have to prove anything. You don't have to 432 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 3: try to impress people. Just be who you are. Be amazing. 433 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 3: If you'll do this, I believe and declare every chain 434 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 3: that's held you back is being broken. You're going to 435 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 3: live free, confidence, secure, valuable, and become the masterpiece that 436 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 3: God created you to be. In Jesus' name, if you 437 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 3: receive it, can you see him in today? I'd like 438 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 3: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord 439 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 3: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 440 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 3: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I 441 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 3: make you my Lord and savior.
