Speaker 3: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 3: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.
Speaker 5: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a
Speaker 5: blessing and share it with a friend.
Speaker 3: We appreciate you and pray put God's very best in
Speaker 3: your life. Oh God, bless you. Enjoy to come into

Speaker 3: stop buying. Be a part of one of our services.
Speaker 3: I promise you we'll make you feel right at home.
Speaker 3: I like to start with something funny, and I heard
Speaker 3: about this six year old boy. He was standing in
Speaker 3: the church lobby staring at the large plaque on the wall.
Speaker 3: It was filled with names with small American flags by
Speaker 3: their side. He asked the pastor what all the names
Speaker 3: were for. The pastor explained how that was a memorial
Speaker 3: to all the young men and women that died in
Speaker 3: the service. The little boy stood there silently, so concerned,
Speaker 3: he finally looked up and asked, was it the eight
Speaker 3: thirty or eleven o'clock service? Say it like you mean it.
Speaker 3: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.
Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. I can do
Speaker 3: what it says I can do. Today I will be
Speaker 3: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind
Speaker 3: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be
Speaker 3: the same. Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to
Speaker 3: talk to you today about recognizing your value. Too often
Speaker 3: we base our value on how someone is treating us,
Speaker 3: how successful we are, how perfect of a life we've lived.
Speaker 3: The problem is all of those things can change. If
Speaker 3: you're getting your value out of how people treat you,
Speaker 3: then if they hurt you, they disappoint you, you're going
Speaker 3: to feel devalued. If you're basing your value off of
Speaker 3: your achievements, how much you make what you drive, the
Speaker 3: title behind your name. Then if something happens and you
Speaker 3: don't have that position, your business goes down, then your
Speaker 3: value will go down. And some people don't feel good
Speaker 3: about themselves because they've made mistakes in life. They're not
Speaker 3: where they thought they would be. Now, they're living insecure,
Speaker 3: feeling inferior. They're basing their value on their performance. Here's
Speaker 3: the key. Your value should be based solely on the
Speaker 3: fact that you are a child of the most high God,
Speaker 3: the creator of the universe, breaths his life into you.
Speaker 3: How someone treats you doesn't change your value. What they
Speaker 3: say or do doesn't lessen who you are. Mistakes you've
Speaker 3: made doesn't decrease your value. That's what you did. That's
Speaker 3: not who you are. You can buy a bigger house,
Speaker 3: drive a better car, but that doesn't make you any
Speaker 3: more valuable. That increases your net worth, not your self worth.
Speaker 3: You were already valuable when you had the small apartment
Speaker 3: and no title behind your name. That position may give
Speaker 3: you more influence, but not more value. You can be
Speaker 3: a stay at home mom raising your children. You may
Speaker 3: not have the influence of the CEO, but you have
Speaker 3: the same value. Value is not based on what you do,
Speaker 3: what you make, who you know. That's superficial. Those things
Speaker 3: can change. Your value comes from your creator. God breathed
Speaker 3: his life into you. You have the DNA of Almighty God.
Speaker 3: You have royalty in your blood. But the enemy works
Speaker 3: over time trying to devalue us. He'd love for you
Speaker 3: to go through life letting what people say make you
Speaker 3: feel inferior, comparing your life to somebody else's thinking. You'll
Speaker 3: feel good about yourself when you catch up to them,
Speaker 3: when you live in that neighborhood, or when you perform perfectly,
Speaker 3: when you break the addiction, then you'll feel valuable. But
Speaker 3: nothing you do will make you any more valuable. Nothing
Speaker 3: you achieve, nothing you overcome. You are valuable right now.
Speaker 3: God calls you a masterpiece. You are one of a kind.
Speaker 3: You didn't come off an assembly life. You weren't mass produced.
Speaker 3: God made you unique. There will never be another.
Speaker 6: You.
Speaker 3: Put your shoulders back, start carrying yourself with confidence. You
Speaker 3: have been fearfully and wonderfully made. In Luke chapter four,
Speaker 3: Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, where
Speaker 3: he was tempted three times. He'd been out there for
Speaker 3: forty days and hadn't eaten anything. The enemy said to him,
Speaker 3: if you're the son of God, turn these stones into bread.
Speaker 3: He was trying to make his value be based on
Speaker 3: his performance. If you turn these stones into bread, you
Speaker 3: can prove you're the son of God. Then you can
Speaker 3: feel good about yourself. You performed a miracle. Jesus wouldn't
Speaker 3: do it, he said, man doesn't live by bread alone.
Speaker 3: He was saying, in effect, I don't have to do
Speaker 3: anything to prove who I am. I don't have to
Speaker 3: perform to feel good about myself. I know who I am.
Speaker 3: The enemy couldn't deceive him into getting his value out
Speaker 3: of being performance based, so he tried possession based. He
Speaker 3: took Jesus to a high place, showed him all the
Speaker 3: kingdoms of the world. He said, you can have it
Speaker 3: all if you'll just bow down and worship me. Jesus said, no, thanks.
Speaker 3: I don't need possessions to prove my worth and value.
Speaker 3: I don't have to have what you think is important
Speaker 3: to feel good about who I am. Possession based didn't work.
Speaker 3: Performance based didn't work, so the enemy tried one final thing, popularity.
Speaker 3: He took Jesus to the highest place in the temple
Speaker 3: was very crowded below all kinds of people. He said,
Speaker 3: if you're the son of God, jump off this building.
Speaker 3: You said your angels would protect you. He was trying
Speaker 3: to get Jesus to show off. Everybody would see and
Speaker 3: be amazed. He'd gain instant popularity. Jesus said it again,
Speaker 3: I don't need possession, I don't need popularity. I don't
Speaker 3: need performance to feel valuable. I know who I am.
Speaker 3: I'm the son of the living God. The enemy tried
Speaker 3: to deceive Jesus into proving who he was, and a
Speaker 3: lot of people live in approving mode. They can't feel
Speaker 3: good about themselves unless they prove the people they're important,
Speaker 3: prove to their coworker their talented, prove to their critics
Speaker 3: that they really are okay. There's a constant struggle. They're
Speaker 3: always having to outdo, outperform, outdrive, outdress. It's very freeing
Speaker 3: when you realize you don't have to prove anything, you
Speaker 3: don't have to impress people, take the pressure off. It
Speaker 3: takes a lot of energy to compete, to prove, to impress.
Speaker 3: If you live in approving mode, it's like you're on
Speaker 3: a treadmill. As soon as you prove to one person
Speaker 3: you're okay. You'll see somebody else you need to impress
Speaker 3: to never ending cycle. Get off that treadmill. You're working
Speaker 3: hard but not going anywhere. You don't have to prove anything.
Speaker 3: And these days there's so much emphasis on name brands.
Speaker 3: We're wearing so and so designer shoes and so and
Speaker 3: so sunglasses, and carrying a so and so perse, driving
Speaker 3: a so and so card, talking on a so and
Speaker 3: so's cell phone. If you're really cool, you got on
Speaker 3: so and so underwear, you can feel good about yourself.
Speaker 3: Sometimes we have so many other names on us. We
Speaker 3: don't know our own name. We're counting on all the
Speaker 3: name brands, all the outside labels to make us feel important.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you your name is more important than
Speaker 3: all those names combined. No disrespect to them, But the
Speaker 3: difference between you and the name brand is God breathed
Speaker 3: his life into you. You're a son, you're a daughter
Speaker 3: of the most High God. And there's nothing wrong with
Speaker 3: owning it, driving it, wearing it. But don't let it
Speaker 3: be the reason you feel good about who you are.
Speaker 3: Because what's hot today, what's the latest, greatest. In a
Speaker 3: few years, it'll be outdated. If you live possession based,
Speaker 3: you have to run from name to name, position to position,
Speaker 3: friend to friend. That's gonna wear you out. Why don't
Speaker 3: you relax. You can't get any more valuable. You can
Speaker 3: buy more clothes, get more friends. That doesn't change your value.
Speaker 3: Whether you're wearing Gucci or Goodwill, whether it's Calvin Klein
Speaker 3: or Fruit of the Loom, your value never changes. You're
Speaker 3: clapping because you wear Fruit of the Loom.
Speaker 2: Like me.
Speaker 3: I went to the sporting goods store the other day
Speaker 3: to buy some new T shirts to work out in,
Speaker 3: and there were probably ten racks of shirt. Practically everyone
Speaker 3: had the manufacturer's name on the front in big bold letters.
Speaker 3: I thought to myself, you want me to buy your
Speaker 3: shirt and then go around as a billboard for you,
Speaker 3: no offense, But I don't want to wear your name.
Speaker 3: I like my own name. Do you need somebody else's
Speaker 3: name to make you feel good about yourself? Are you
Speaker 3: trying to prove your worth your value by who you know,
Speaker 3: what you wear, what you drive, or can you say,
Speaker 3: like Jesus, I don't have to have popularity, possessions, or
Speaker 3: performance to feel good about myself. I am secure in
Speaker 3: who I am. I know who God made me to be.
Speaker 3: When Jesus was writing into town on Palm Sunday, the
Speaker 3: people laid down branches as he passed by. They celebrated,
Speaker 3: shouting Hosanna, from the young to the old, waving, cheering.
Speaker 3: They were so excited to see him. He received the
Speaker 3: heroes welcome. But a few days later those same people,
Speaker 3: instead of shouting Hosanna, they were shouting crucifying, we don't
Speaker 3: want him here. When Jesus went to trial and needed
Speaker 3: his closest friends to support him, his disciples, the ones
Speaker 3: he had poured his life into, they weren't anywhere around.
Speaker 3: He asked them to stay up and pray, but they
Speaker 3: were too tired. They fell asleep. If you base your
Speaker 3: value on people's support, how much they approve you, encourage you,
Speaker 3: then if for some reason they stop doing that, you'll
Speaker 3: feel devalued. As long as they're telling you you're great,
Speaker 3: you'll feel great. The problem is if they change their mind,
Speaker 3: they're not telling you that, you're not going to feel great.
Speaker 3: You can't base your value on what people give you.
Speaker 3: People are funny. They'll say you're beautiful one day, and
Speaker 3: I don't care for you the next Hosannah on Sunday,
Speaker 3: Crucify them on Friday. If you don't know who you
Speaker 3: are without them, then if they leave, you'll be lost.
Speaker 3: They'll take you with them. Your identity was caught up
Speaker 3: in who they made you to be. You'll try to
Speaker 3: find somebody else to tell you who you are. You
Speaker 3: don't need people to tell you who you are. People
Speaker 3: will let you down, people will get jealous, People have
Speaker 3: their own issues. Let your heavenly father tell you who
Speaker 3: you are. Get your value, your self worth, your approval
Speaker 3: from him. He says you're a masterpiece. He says you're
Speaker 3: want of a kind, a prized possession. Somebody may have
Speaker 3: told you the opposite. You're not talented, you're not attractive,
Speaker 3: you don't have a good personality. Let that go in
Speaker 3: one ear and out the other. They don't determine your value.
Speaker 3: What they say or do does it make you any
Speaker 3: less a masterpiece. Quit letting how people treat you make
Speaker 3: you feel inferior. They don't control your destiny. They didn't
Speaker 3: breathe life into you. They didn't call you, they didn't
Speaker 3: anoint you, they didn't approve you. Your value came from
Speaker 3: your creator, from the God who spoke worlds into existence.
Speaker 3: The good news is they can't change your value and
Speaker 3: you can't change it. God put it in you before
Speaker 3: you showed up. You don't need their approval, you don't
Speaker 3: need their encouragement. They don't have to validate you. It's
Speaker 3: good when it happens, but if you're depending on it
Speaker 3: to feel secure, then if they don't do it, you're
Speaker 3: going to feel inferior. Don't give away your power. Don't
Speaker 3: put your identity, your value into somebody else's hands. Even
Speaker 3: good people can't give you everything you need somebody that
Speaker 3: loves you very much. They cannot keep you approved, validated,
Speaker 3: feeling secure. You have to go to your heavenly father.
Speaker 3: And sometimes we're putting pressure on people to keep us fixed,
Speaker 3: keep us validated. Let them off the hook. They're not
Speaker 3: your savior. You already have a savior. He's on the throne.
Speaker 3: Go to him and not the people. The problem with
Speaker 3: trying to get this from people is people have issues.
Speaker 3: People are dealing with insecurities, fears, hurts, wounds, presentges, dysfunction.
Speaker 3: They don't know any better. That's normal to them. Messed up.
Speaker 3: People can mess you up. That's not profound, but it's
Speaker 3: good in it. If you base your value on what
Speaker 3: they're giving you, you can end up dysfunctional. I talked
Speaker 3: to a lady recently that had a very bad childhood
Speaker 3: neglect abuse. She had just gone through her second divorce.
Speaker 3: Her ex husband told her that she didn't deserve to
Speaker 3: be loved, and I could tell that she believed it
Speaker 3: because she was down on her self, well no expression
Speaker 3: on her face. I told her what I'm telling you.
Speaker 3: Don't let messed up people ruin the rest of your life.
Speaker 3: If somebody hurts you, there's a tendency to internalize it
Speaker 3: and think there's something wrong with me. If I was
Speaker 3: more attractive, he wouldn't have left. If I was smarter,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have had a bad childhood. No, it has
Speaker 3: nothing to do with you. They're treating you out of
Speaker 3: their hurts, their wounds. Hurting people end up hurting other people.
Speaker 3: Don't let what they say define who you are. Don't
Speaker 3: let what you didn't get make you feel like you're
Speaker 3: to blame. They said you don't deserve to be loved.
Speaker 3: That's a lie. They said you're not attractive, another lie.
Speaker 3: But if you base your value on these lies, you
Speaker 3: won't have any kind of self worth. Studies even show
Speaker 3: that children that went through neglect abuse a bad childhood.
Speaker 3: Very often they take the blame on themselves. They think
Speaker 3: there's something wrong with them. This lady did the same thing.
Speaker 3: She didn't think she deserved to be loved. That's the
Speaker 3: enemy trying to steal your sense of value. If somebody
Speaker 3: did you wrong, instead of internalizing it, have you ever
Speaker 3: thought about maybe they were messed up. Maybe they felt
Speaker 3: so bad about themselves, so unlovable, that they tried to
Speaker 3: project it on you. I know a young man that
Speaker 3: never felt like he fit in growing up. There's very
Speaker 3: little love in his home. He never felt approved or celebrated.
Speaker 3: It was like he was a burden. He found out
Speaker 3: in his early teens that his parents always wanted a girl.
Speaker 3: They were disappointed when he was born. Now he's in
Speaker 3: his twenties, had his head down, insecure, feeling unworthy. I
Speaker 3: told him, your parents may have wanted a girl, but
Speaker 3: the creator of the universe wanted a boy. God doesn't
Speaker 3: make mistakes. You're not an accident. He hand picked you.
Speaker 3: He chose you before you could choose him. Your parents
Speaker 3: may not have known any better, but don't let their
Speaker 3: lack of approval keep you from your destiny. You didn't
Speaker 3: come from your mother. You came through your mother. You
Speaker 3: came from Oh, by God, I begin to tell him
Speaker 3: how he was a masterpiece, called chosen, equipped, one of
Speaker 3: a kind, with seeds of greatness. Nobody had ever spoken
Speaker 3: faith over his life. He lifted his head, he put
Speaker 3: his shoulders back. I could see a smile starting to form.
Speaker 3: When you base your value on what people say or do,
Speaker 3: that's going to push you down. But when you base
Speaker 3: it on what God says about you, it's going to
Speaker 3: lift you up. You're going to have a smile on
Speaker 3: your face, a spring in your step. You're not going
Speaker 3: to be put off by what you didn't get by
Speaker 3: who's not supporting him like him. Maybe nobody ever told
Speaker 3: you what God says about you. God says you're amazing.
Speaker 3: He says he's proud of you. He says you're the
Speaker 3: apple of his eye. People may not be celebrating you,
Speaker 3: but you need to know God celebrates you. I've heard
Speaker 3: it said if God had a refrigerator, your picture would
Speaker 3: be on it. If he had a computer, you'd be
Speaker 3: on the homepage. The scripture says God has your name
Speaker 3: carved on the palm of his hand. He's always thinking
Speaker 3: about you. You may feel like you never really got
Speaker 3: the approval from your parents. From your family, even now,
Speaker 3: they don't celebrate you, they don't affirm you. But the
Speaker 3: truth is, it's not about you. It's about their issues,
Speaker 3: their insecurities. Don't spend your life trying to get something
Speaker 3: that they cannot give. I know people working eighty hours
Speaker 3: a week trying to prove to their parents they're successful,
Speaker 3: prove to their family they're good enough. You have to
Speaker 3: let it go or you'll be frustrated. Turn to your
Speaker 3: heavenly father. Get your approval from him. He's smiling down
Speaker 3: on you. He sees you excelling. You don't have to
Speaker 3: have their approval to be happy. God approves you. He's
Speaker 3: the one that matters. In the scripture, David didn't have
Speaker 3: his father's approval. When the prophet Samuel came in to
Speaker 3: annoint one of Jesse's sons, Jesse didn't even bring David
Speaker 3: in from the shepherd's fields. He saw David as being inferior,
Speaker 3: not talented, too young, too small. Sometimes the people closest
Speaker 3: to you can't see the greatness in you. Jesse didn't
Speaker 3: see a king in David. He didn't see a giant killer,
Speaker 3: a strategic leader. He saw a young boy with not
Speaker 3: much to offer. He dismissed him, didn't pay much attention.
Speaker 3: Your family may discount you, they may leave you out.
Speaker 3: Don't take it personally. Just keep being your best, getting
Speaker 3: your approval from your heavenly father. This happened with Jesus.
Speaker 3: His brothers didn't believe in him. They saw him as average.
Speaker 3: What's the big deal, what's all the commotion, It's just Jesus.
Speaker 3: The people that should have supported him the most tried
Speaker 3: to make him feel inferior. The people closest to you
Speaker 3: may not acknowledge your gifts, they may not see your value,
Speaker 3: but God does. David was left out. It wasn't fair.
Speaker 3: But when Samuel looked at the other seven sons, he said, Jesse,
Speaker 3: it's none of these. Do you have any more sons?
Speaker 3: People may leave you out, but God doesn't leave you out.
Speaker 3: If David had to have his family's approval, he would
Speaker 3: have never taken the throne. Quit trying to make people
Speaker 3: before you that are never going to be for you.
Speaker 3: Quit feeling inferior because somebody close to you, is not
Speaker 3: celebrating you. If you needed their approval, you would get it.
Speaker 3: If you're not getting it, that means you don't need
Speaker 3: it to become who you were created to be. And
Speaker 3: yes it may be hurtful, but it is not going
Speaker 3: to keep you from your destiny. Sometimes it's God teaching
Speaker 3: us to go to him and not to people. We
Speaker 3: rely too much on what people think. Who believes in us?
Speaker 3: And how come they're not supporting me? David's brothers made
Speaker 3: fun of him, his father discounted him. He was stuck
Speaker 3: out in the shepherd's fields, but instead of complaining feeling inferior,
Speaker 3: he turned to God. He's the one that wrote in
Speaker 3: Psalm twenty seven, if my mother and father forsake me,
Speaker 3: God will adopt me as his own child. And I
Speaker 3: know many of us had great parents that did their best,
Speaker 3: but we all have people that are not giving us
Speaker 3: their approval. They don't acnoledge our gifts, they don't see
Speaker 3: what we have to offer. Don't live frustrated thinking that
Speaker 3: there's something wrong with you trying to prove to them
Speaker 3: who you are, trying to convince them to affirm you.
Speaker 3: Let it go. There's nothing wrong with you if you
Speaker 3: had to have it, they would give it. Since you
Speaker 3: don't shake it off, keep your head held high, knowing
Speaker 3: that your heavenly Father has approved you, accepted you, and
Speaker 3: anointed you. Your value doesn't come from people, It comes
Speaker 3: from your creator. A while back, somebody gave a watch
Speaker 3: to the Ministry. I was out of town at one
Speaker 3: of our events, and a man came up and handed
Speaker 3: me this nice box. I opened it. It was a
Speaker 3: beautiful watch. It wasn't super fancy, but it was attractive, sporty,
Speaker 3: and of course I thanked him. I'm very grateful. I
Speaker 3: brought it back and put it in my desk drawer.
Speaker 3: A couple of months later, I opened the drawer to
Speaker 3: get something out, and there was the watch. Had forgotten
Speaker 3: about it. I looked at it again, and I thought
Speaker 3: it cost a couple hundred dollars. I didn't notice the
Speaker 3: name brand, but for some reason, I googled it. When
Speaker 3: I did, I nearly passed out. The exact watch came up.
Speaker 3: It was worth over ten thousand dollars. It's from a
Speaker 3: very famous, prestigious watchmaker. It looked like to me a
Speaker 3: lot of other watches that I'd seen that cost several
Speaker 3: hundred dollars. But because of the manufacturer, this watch was
Speaker 3: extremely valuable. You could put it side by side and
Speaker 3: you wouldn't see much difference. Looked average, ordinary people had
Speaker 3: copied it, there were knockoffs. On the surface, it seemed
Speaker 3: the same, but what gave it its value was who
Speaker 3: made it. Sometimes we don't realize who we are. You
Speaker 3: may feel average, ordinary, like nothing stands out, But because
Speaker 3: of your maker, there's something about you you that makes
Speaker 3: you extremely valuable. You're not a copy, you're not a
Speaker 3: knock all. You're an original. The creator of the universe
Speaker 3: is your manufacturer. You can't get any more prestigious than that.
Speaker 3: But if you don't know who you are, like I
Speaker 3: did with the watch, you'll discount yourself. Think it all, man,
Speaker 3: I'm ordinary, nothing much to offer, nothing special about me.
Speaker 3: You need to google your manufacturer. You have the fingerprints
Speaker 3: of God all over you. Someone thirty nine says God,
Speaker 3: I praise you because you have made me in an
Speaker 3: amazing way. What you have done is wonderful. If you're
Speaker 3: going to recognize your value, you have to see yourself
Speaker 3: as amazing as wonderful, not because of who you are,
Speaker 3: but because of who made you Now, life will try
Speaker 3: to make you feel like you're anything but amazing. Disappointments, betrayal,
Speaker 3: rejection will try to steal your sense of value. But
Speaker 3: all through the day, despite what thoughts are telling you,
Speaker 3: despite who left you out, you need to remind yourself
Speaker 3: I am amazing. I am a masterpiece. I have been
Speaker 3: wonderfully made. Don't discount what God has created. Don't go
Speaker 3: around feeling ordinary when in fact you're extraordinary. People may
Speaker 3: try to make you feel average, like David's father. You
Speaker 3: don't have much to offer. Are you going to believe
Speaker 3: what people say about you? Or believe what God says
Speaker 3: about you? God says you're amazing? Have you ever said
Speaker 3: that to yourself? It has to start on the inside.
Speaker 3: I read where Tom Brady's jersey that he wore during
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl is worth five hundred thousand dollars. I
Speaker 3: can go online and buy that same jersey for forty
Speaker 3: nine dollars. It's the difference who it belongs to. Same jersey,
Speaker 3: same size, same color, but one belongs to Tom Brady
Speaker 3: that makes it extremely valuable. The scripture says you belong
Speaker 3: to God. You may feel average, think you look ordinary.
Speaker 3: Nothing special about you, but because of who you belong
Speaker 3: to that makes you extremely valuable. Now my challenge, don't
Speaker 3: let people discount you. Don't let your own thoughts push
Speaker 3: you down. Put your shoulders back. You belong to God.
Speaker 3: You don't have to prove anything. You don't have to
