She 51 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 6: didn't think anybody'd stand. She'd make the point how no 52 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 6: one is dumb. But about that time little Johnny stood up. 53 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 6: She thought, oh no, Now what am I going to do? 54 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 6: She said, Now, Johnny, do you really feel like you're dumb? 55 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 6: He said no, ma'am. I just hate to see you 56 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 6: standing there all by yourself. Say it like you mean it. 57 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 6: This is my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 58 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 6: I have what it says I have. I can do 59 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 6: what it says I can do. Today I will be 60 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 6: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 61 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 6: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 62 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 6: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 63 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 6: to talk to you today about being a barrier breaker. 64 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 6: So often we let our environment how we were raised. 65 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 6: People's expectations of us set the limits for our life. 66 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 6: We adapt to what's around us. If you take an 67 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 6: oak tree seed and plant it in a two foot pot. 68 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 6: That oak tree will never become what it was created 69 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 6: to be, not because there's something wrong with the seed, 70 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 6: but because of the environment that it's in. 71 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 4: It's easy to just. 72 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 6: Fit in, go with the crowd, be like everyone else. 73 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 6: But God didn't create you to be average. He created 74 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 6: you to stand out, to go beyond the norm, to 75 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 6: leave your mark on this generation. You have seeds of 76 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 6: greatness on the inside. You're supposed to go further than 77 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 6: the people that raised you. You're supposed to live better, 78 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 6: be more successful, set a new standard. 79 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 4: You may be in an environment. 80 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 6: Where people have addictions, low self esteem, depression, poverty. 81 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 4: You can't stop that. 82 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 6: But here's the key. Don't let that become normal in 83 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 6: your thinking. If you accept that as who you are, 84 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 6: it will keep you from your destiny. And the scripture 85 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 6: talks about how we are in the world, but we 86 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 6: are not of the world. You may be in a 87 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 6: limited environment, but you don't have to be of it. 88 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 4: Don't let that environment get in you. 89 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 6: If you see struggle, lack, poverty long enough, your mind 90 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 6: can become conditioned to think this is who I am. 91 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 6: I'll always struggle, I'll never have enough. No, that's where 92 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 6: you are. That's not who you are, and that may 93 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 6: be what's been normal. 94 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 4: The good news you're a burial breaker. 95 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 6: You have the power, the favor, the talent, the ability 96 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 6: to break out, to go further. 97 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 4: God breathes his life into you. 98 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 6: He calls you the head and not the tell Don't 99 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 6: let your mind become conditioned for mediocrity. Don't let that 100 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 6: change who you really are. Sometimes people will try to 101 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 6: put us in a box, tell us things like you 102 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 6: can't start that business, you don't have the resources, You'll 103 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 6: never afford a nice place to live, never get well, 104 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 6: never meet the right person. Because their thinking is limited, 105 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 6: they'll try to put their limitations on you. You have 106 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 6: to put your foot down and say, I refuse to 107 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 6: be mediocre because people around me are mediocre. I refuse 108 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 6: to be addicted, depressed, have low expectation. I know I'm 109 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 6: a burial breaker. I'm gonst set a new standard. It 110 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 6: starts in our thinking. Nothing will change until you make 111 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 6: up your mind. You are not going to accept mediocrity. 112 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 6: Why don't you take the limitations off yourself. You have 113 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 6: so much potential. Break out of that box and try 114 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 6: something new. The enemy would love to keep that potential 115 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 6: from ever coming out. He'll use bad breaks, negative comments, 116 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 6: people circumstances to try to keep you from believing in yourself, 117 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 6: believing that you can rise to the next level. Many 118 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 6: people have let their mind become conditioned to think that 119 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 6: they've reached their limits. They're just average, they'll never do 120 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 6: anything great. 121 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 4: What's happened? 122 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 6: Instead of breaking out, They've adapted to their environment. I 123 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 6: saw a study that was done with fleas. Researchers put 124 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 6: all these fleas in a container and then put a 125 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 6: lid on the top. The fleas immediately tried to fly out, 126 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 6: but they hit the lid again and again. Before long, 127 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 6: they realized they were stuck. At one point, the researchers 128 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 6: removed the lid, but much to their surprise, the fleas. 129 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 4: Didn't try to fly out anymore. 130 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 6: They had hit that lid so many times they had 131 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 6: become conditioned to think. 132 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 4: That they couldn't get out. 133 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 6: Even though the lid was off, they didn't even try. Sometimes, 134 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 6: like these fleas, because of the environment we're in, times 135 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 6: we've tried and faelled what people have told us. We've 136 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 6: become conditioned to think we can't do anything great. We'll 137 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 6: never accomplished the dream we'll never get back in shape. No, 138 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 6: it may not have happened in the past. You may 139 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 6: have tried and hit that lid a few times, but 140 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 6: can I tell you the lid is coming off. It's 141 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 6: time to try again. You were not created to live 142 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 6: contained to get stuck, recondition your mind. That's what happened 143 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 6: to a friend of mine. He got off to a 144 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 6: rough start in life. He grew up in the projects, 145 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 6: very poor, with hardly any guidance. His father wasn't in 146 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 6: his life, and his mother had her own struggles. Because 147 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 6: of this poor home situation, he was labeled by the 148 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 6: state as a child at risk. That phrase from the 149 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 6: time he's a little boy had played over and over 150 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 6: in his mind. 151 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 4: It had become ingrained in his thinking. There's no future 152 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 4: for me. I'm a child at risk. 153 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,119 Speaker 6: He continued to go downhill and getting into trouble, doing 154 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 6: what the rest of the crowd was doing. Everyone around 155 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 6: him was defeated, depressed, addicted. 156 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 4: He fit right in. 157 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 6: He adapted to his environment. Your life is going to 158 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 6: follow your thoughts. 159 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 4: He believed he was at risk. He became at risk. 160 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 6: If you believe you've reached your limits, then you have 161 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 6: If you believe you'll never get well, then you won't. 162 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 6: Because your mind has become conditioned with limitations. It will 163 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 6: keep you from your highest potential. You have to get 164 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 6: rid of these thoughts that are holding you back. You 165 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 6: may not see how you can do it in your 166 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 6: own ability, but you're not. 167 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 4: On your own. 168 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 6: You have the most powerful force in the universe breathing 169 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 6: in your direction. God created you to rise higher, to 170 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 6: break barriers of the past, to overcome bad habits, to 171 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 6: be freed from generational curses. People may have labeled you 172 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:11,359 Speaker 6: at risk, average, less than, but God labels you well, able, equipped, anointed, creative, 173 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 6: a masterpiece. The good news is people don't determine your destiny. 174 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 4: God does what they said about you. 175 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 6: The environment you're in now, how you were raised, cannot. 176 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 4: Keep you from your purpose. 177 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 6: God is already taken into account every detail of your life, 178 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 6: every bad break, every negative comment, how you were raised, 179 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 6: what somebody did. 180 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 4: He's factor that all into his plan. 181 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 6: If you will stay in faith, instead of holding you back, 182 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 6: it will propel you forward instead of defeating you. 183 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 4: It'll make you stronger. God knows how to take what 184 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 4: was meant for your harm and use it to your advantage. 185 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 6: One day, this young man got in trouble in school 186 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 6: and he was sent to the school counselor. She tried 187 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 6: to reason with him, but he wouldn't listen. 188 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 4: She wouldn't give up. 189 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 6: She kept on trying and trying. Finally, he said to her, 190 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 6: why are you even bothering with me? I'll never do 191 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 6: anything great. I've been told my whole life I'm a 192 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 6: child at risk. She looked him in the eyes and said, 193 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 6: listen to me. You are not a child at risk. 194 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 6: You are a child at possibility. When he heard that, 195 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 6: something ignited on the inside. Sat up in his chair 196 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 6: said to her, what do you mean at possibility? She said, 197 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,119 Speaker 6: you are full of potential. 198 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 4: You are smart, you are talented. There's so much you 199 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 4: can become. His whole life, he had heard just the opposite. 200 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 6: His mind had become conditioned to think, you'll never get 201 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 6: out of the projects, you'll never be successful. That day, 202 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 6: a stronghold was broken in his thinking. He reconditioned his mind. Today, 203 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 6: this young man owns his own business, very successful. Plus, 204 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 6: he goes around to schools and speaks to others students 205 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 6: who are considered to be at risk. He tells them 206 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 6: what the counselor told him. You're not at risk, You're 207 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 6: at possibility. My friend del Toro mc neil's right here 208 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 6: on the front road. But like with him, people around 209 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 6: you may accept mediocrity. 210 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 4: They may be. 211 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 6: Fine with being average and having little goals and working 212 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 6: at an okay job. But don't let that spirit rub 213 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 6: off on you. That is not who you are. You're 214 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 6: the exception. 215 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 4: You're a barrier breaker. 216 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 6: You are not limited by your education, by how you 217 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 6: were raised by that environment. 218 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 4: God has destined you to rise higher. He's destined you 219 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: to go to the next level. This is what happened 220 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 4: with my father. 221 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 6: He was raised very poor on a cotton farm during 222 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 6: the Great Depression. At Christmas time, his family was the 223 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 6: one that received the Christmas basket that went to the 224 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 6: poorest family in the school. 225 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,479 Speaker 4: He could never drink. 226 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 6: A full glass of milk. They couldn't afford it, only 227 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 6: a fourth of a glass, plus they had pour water 228 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 6: in it to make it last longer. But at seventeen 229 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 6: years of age, my dad gave his life to Christ, 230 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 6: the first one in the family. He told me, Joel, 231 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 6: I made a decision that day that my children would 232 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 6: never be raised in the poverty and lack that I 233 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 6: was raised in. He changed his mind. Everyone around him they. 234 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 4: Were good people, but they were limited. 235 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 6: Their mind had become conditioned to accept not having enough, 236 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 6: struggle lack. The problem is, if you accept it, you 237 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 6: won't do anything about it. It's easy to get comfortable 238 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 6: with mediocrity and just adapt to our environment. As a teenager, 239 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 6: my father felt something stirring on the inside. It was 240 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 6: those seeds of greatness. Every circumstance said he was stuck. 241 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 6: He'd have to stay on the farm, pit cotton the 242 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 6: rest of his life. But instead of adapting to that environment, 243 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,359 Speaker 6: his attitude was, this is not my destiny. 244 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 4: I am better than this. 245 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 6: I refuse to live mediocre, wearing hand me downs, receiving 246 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 6: the Christmas basket. 247 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 4: I know I have seeds of greatness. 248 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 6: I have potential, I have creativity. The most tied God 249 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 6: breathe life into me. 250 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 4: Now. As a teenager, he left the farm. 251 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 6: He had to hitchhike, but he went out and started 252 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 6: ministering in the jails, in the senior citizens' homes, making 253 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 6: a difference wherever he went. He went on to break 254 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 6: the curse of poverty in our family, and he took 255 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 6: us to a new level. He was a barrier breaker. 256 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 6: He knew he was made for more. Instead of just 257 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 6: fitting in be like everyone else. Why don't you start 258 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 6: seeing yourself as a barrier breaker, as the exception. You're 259 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 6: supposed to stand out, You're supposed to rise. Maybe everyone 260 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 6: in your family is depressed. 261 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 4: Accept you. 262 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 6: You broke out, you're happy, you're full of joy. 263 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 4: Everyone is addicted. Accept you. You're free, you're clean, You're 264 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 4: helping others. Everyone is struggling, can't make ends, me, can't 265 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 4: get ahead. Accept you. You're blessed. 266 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 6: Good breaks are chasing you down, Opportunities are looking for you. 267 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 6: Your gifts and talents are coming out in greater ways. 268 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 4: Why is that you're the exception? 269 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 6: Not arrogantly like you're better than someone else, but a 270 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 6: quiet confidence, knowing that you were made for more. See 271 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 6: if my father would have accepted that as his lot 272 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 6: in life, I wouldn't be standing here today. Are you 273 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 6: accepting things that are less than God's best? Have you 274 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 6: adapted to a limited environment? You have big dreams in 275 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 6: your heart. You know there's a new business in you, 276 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 6: a management position, a book, a better house. But you're 277 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 6: doing as good as your friends, you've gone as far 278 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 6: as your family. 279 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 4: No, don't settle there. Break out of that mold. 280 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 6: Nothing will be more sad than to come to the 281 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 6: end of life and realize what we could have become 282 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 6: if I'd have just lived with an out possibility mindset 283 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 6: instead of this at risk mentality. Couple of years before 284 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 6: my dad went to be with the Lord, we drove 285 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 6: back to Paris, Texas, where he was raised. Daddy wanted 286 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 6: to reminisce and showed me where he had grown up, 287 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 6: and we went out onto the land where his farm 288 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 6: used to be. The house was no longer there, but 289 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 6: we found the well, and he showed me where he 290 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 6: used to pick cotton, where he went to school, and 291 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 6: before we left town we drove around to see if 292 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 6: we could find any of his friends. We pulled up 293 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 6: to this very run down house. Really, it was nothing 294 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 6: more than a shack. It didn't even look livable. 295 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 4: There was this older. 296 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 6: Gentleman on the front porch, not wearing a shirt, just 297 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 6: kind of killing time. My father went up and said, 298 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 6: I'm John Ostein, Are you so? 299 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 4: And So? It was his friend. 300 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 6: They hadn't seen each other in over sixty years. He 301 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 6: invited us inside, and the place was very dilapidated. There 302 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 6: were buckets on the ground to catch the water dripping 303 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 6: from the ceiling, broken windows boarded up. 304 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 4: We went and found several other of his friends. It 305 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 4: was the same situation, extreme. 306 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 6: Poverty, defeat, mediocrity, and they were good people. But it 307 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 6: hint me how they had not made anything out of 308 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 6: their lives. They had made the mistake of adapting to 309 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 6: their environment. They accepted the limitations they were born into. 310 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 6: One man told how he had worked a little here 311 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 6: and there and had odd jobs worked down at the 312 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 6: boat docks, barely making it. Another had been laid off 313 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 6: twenty eight years earlier, not able to find any more work, 314 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 6: lived off a handouts, no goals, no dreams, no resources. 315 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 6: Now they were at the end of their lives. They 316 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 6: had not tapped into their potential. That day made such 317 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 6: an impression upon me. I thought about how my father 318 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 6: was raised in the same environment. He came out of 319 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 6: the same mold, same depression, same poverty, same school. 320 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 4: But Daddy went on to touch the world, pastored great churches. 321 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 6: He made a difference with his life. I saw firsthand 322 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 6: what would have happened if my father had accepted the 323 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 6: life of defeat he was born into. If he had 324 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 6: not put his foot down and said, I may have 325 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 6: been born into mediocrity, but I. 326 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 4: Am not settling here. 327 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 6: If he had not reconditioned his mind, he would have 328 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 6: been sitting right there with the rest of those men. 329 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 4: Friends. Don't go through life and miss your destiny. 330 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 6: You weren't created to get stuck, to settle, stay at 331 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 6: the same place year after year. 332 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 4: You were created to excel. 333 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 6: There is potential in you right now just waiting to 334 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 6: come out. You have gifts that will cause new doors 335 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 6: to open, talent that will bring new opportunities. Get rid 336 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 6: of low expectations. Quit making excuses to settle where you are. 337 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 6: You may be in some kind of limited environment dysfunction, addictions, depression. 338 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 6: The good news you don't have to stay there. That 339 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 6: is not your destiny. Somebody may have labeled you at risk, 340 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 6: but the creator of the universe labels you at possibility. 341 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 6: You've gone as far as your family as your friends. 342 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 6: That's good, but don't settle there. You're the exception. You're 343 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 6: supposed to go further. Dare to take some steps of faith. 344 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 6: Life is flying by. You don't have ten years to 345 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 6: wait around the odds may be against you, but the 346 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 6: most high God is for you. His favor on your 347 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 6: life will cause you to go where you could not 348 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 6: go on your own. If you're going to be a 349 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 6: barrier breaker. 350 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 4: You have to get rid of excuses. 351 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 6: I read about an eight year old boy that was 352 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 6: born in Kansas in the early nineteen hundreds. During the winter, 353 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 6: he and his brother would go to school early to 354 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 6: light the fire in the classroom so that it'd be 355 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 6: warm when the rest of the students arrived. But one morning, 356 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 6: someone accidentally put gasoline in the kerosene container that he 357 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 6: used to start the fire. When he lit the match, 358 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 6: there was a huge explosion. His brother was instantly killed. 359 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 6: The teacher came running and found this little boy unconscious, 360 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 6: with the lower half of his body burned beyond recognition. 361 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 6: She pulled him out of the fire, thinking that he 362 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 6: was dead. Somehow he had survived. He lost most of 363 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 6: the skin and muscles on his legs. 364 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 4: His mother was. 365 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 6: Told if he did make it, he would be crippled, 366 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 6: never able to walk again. But this little boy was 367 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 6: a fighter. Against all odds, he survived. He made up 368 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 6: his mind he was not only going to walk again, 369 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 6: but he told everyone one day he would run again. 370 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 6: His favorite scripture was found in Isaiah forty. They that 371 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 6: wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. They will 372 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 6: run and not be weary. They will walk and not faint. 373 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 6: As an age year old boy, he had a spirit 374 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 6: of faith. He believed he could divide the odds. Months later, 375 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 6: he was sent home from the hospital with no feeling 376 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 6: or movement in his legs. Every day, his mother would 377 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 6: take him outside in the wheelchairs so he could get 378 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 6: some sunshine. One afternoon, when she wasn't watching, he grabbed 379 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 6: onto the picket fence and pulled himself up state by steak. 380 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 6: He began to drag himself along. He did this day 381 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 6: after day, teaching himself how to walk again. They didn't 382 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 6: have physical therapy for him to go to. He was 383 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 6: his own physical therapist. Two years after the accident, he 384 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 6: stood up for the first time. Wasn't long after that 385 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 6: he was not only walking, he began to run. He 386 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 6: became extremely fast in college on the track team. He 387 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 6: won so many medals he became known as the Kansas 388 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 6: City Flyer. Nineteen thirty four, Glenn Cunningham, the young man 389 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 6: that was told he had never walk again, broke the 390 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 6: world record. 391 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 4: In the mile row. 392 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 6: If you're going to be a barrier breaker, you have 393 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 6: to get rid of the excuses. Quit thinking about what 394 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 6: you didn't get, what you can't do, how the odds 395 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 6: are against you. 396 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 4: You and God are a majority. 397 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 6: You have what you need. You're a barrier breaker. You 398 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 6: can defy the odds. You can beat the cancer, you 399 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 6: can break the addiction. You can start the new business. 400 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 6: You can go further than the experts have told you. 401 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 4: Like Glenn, you have to recondition your mind. 402 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 6: Instead of dwelling on all the negative things people have 403 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 6: set about you, dwell on what God says about you. 404 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 4: I will run and not be weary or instead of 405 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 4: you can't break that addiction. I can do all things 406 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 4: through Christ, whom the sun sets free, is free. 407 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 6: Indeed, instead of ah, Man, you've reached your limits. This 408 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 6: is not for you today. No, the path of the 409 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 6: righteous gets brighter and brighter. God's plans for me are 410 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 6: for good and not evil. To give me a future 411 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 6: and a hope. Nothing will happen until you change your mind. 412 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 6: Glenn could have laid there thinking, Wow, too bad for me. 413 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 6: I lost my legs. I'll never do anything great. We 414 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 6: wouldn't be talking about him. Are there strongholds keeping you back? 415 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 6: Have you adapted to an environment? Letting what people have said, 416 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 6: what's around you set limits for your life. God is saying, 417 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 6: this is a new day. You're a burier breaker. I'm 418 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 6: gonna take you further than you've imagined. 419 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 4: I'm gonna help you. 420 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 6: Set a new standard. You going to defy the odds. 421 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 6: Now do your part. Let this seed take root in 422 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 6: your spirit. Don't talk yourself out of it. Get in 423 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 6: agreement with God. 424 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 4: For years, experts said. 425 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 6: No one would ever be able to run a mile 426 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 6: under four minutes. They studied the human body and thought 427 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 6: it would collapse under that much pressure. Scientists said it 428 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 6: was not only dangerous to try, but it was literally impossible. 429 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 6: But a young man named Roger Banister didn't believe the 430 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 6: negative reports. He didn't let his mind become conditioned to 431 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 6: think that it couldn't be done. In May of nineteen 432 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 6: fifty six, he made history by running a mile under 433 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 6: four minutes. What's interesting is, forty six days later, someone 434 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 6: else broke the four minute mile. 435 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 4: Within ten years, three hundred and. 436 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 6: Thirty six people had run the mile under four minutes 437 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 6: time hadn't happened for years. Now it was happening all 438 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 6: the time. Why was that the barrier was broken in 439 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 6: their mind? 440 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 4: For years? They believe what the expert said. 441 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 6: They were convinced in their own thinking that it couldn't happen. 442 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 6: Once that barrier was removed, they were able to do 443 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 6: things that seemed impossible. Has your mind become conditioned to 444 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 6: think you can't accomplish your dreams, you can't get well, 445 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 6: you'll never break that addiction. If you'll do like Roger 446 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 6: and recondition your mind, start thinking better, believing that you're 447 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 6: a can do person, knowing that you have seeds of greatness, 448 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 6: you too will break barriers that you thought were impossible. 449 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:39,719 Speaker 4: And here's the beauty. 450 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 6: When you break a barrier, you make it easier on 451 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 6: those that come after you. You're paving the way for 452 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 6: your children, for your relatives. That's what it means to 453 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 6: set a new standard. That's what my dad did when 454 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 6: he broke that curse of poverty. He took our family 455 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 6: to a new level. Because he broke that barrier, I 456 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 6: was able to start much further along. When my dad 457 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 6: went to be with the Lord, he left us with 458 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 6: that eight thousand seat auditorium. I could have settled there 459 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 6: and thought this is okay, I'm doing as good as 460 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 6: my parents. 461 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 4: But I did what I'm asking you to do. 462 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 6: I stirred up my gifts and said, God, I know 463 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 6: I'm not supposed to stay at the same level as 464 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 6: my parents. 465 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 4: I took a step of faith. 466 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 6: God opened the door to this place, the former Compact Center. 467 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 6: It's several times larger than our former facility. That's the 468 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 6: way it's supposed to be. God is a progressive god. 469 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 6: He wants every generation to increase. 470 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 4: There was a young. 471 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 6: Man in the scripture named Hezekiah. He was raised in 472 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 6: a very dysfunctional home. His father was Ahaz, king of Judah. 473 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 6: He set up idols for the people to worship. He 474 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 6: was a very hard king and cruel to the people 475 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 6: because he didn't honor God. The nation went downhill became 476 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 6: very poor. Five different armies came against Judah. They lost 477 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 6: every battle. The place was decimated. You would think AHAs 478 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 6: would learn his lesson, turned to God asked for his health, 479 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 6: but it was just the opposite. He closed the doors 480 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 6: of the temple. He began to sell off the sacred treasures. 481 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 6: Hezekiah was raised in this environment of compromise defeat mediocrity. 482 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 6: He could have turned out like his dad. He could 483 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 6: have adapted to that environment. But Hezekiah understood this principle 484 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 6: when he became king. The first thing he did, before 485 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 6: repairing the roads, before getting the economy going, Hezekiah reopened 486 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 6: the temple. 487 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 4: He turned the nation back toward God. 488 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 6: His father chose to compromise, chose to push people down. 489 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 6: But Hezekiah's attitude was i may have been born into mediocrity, 490 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 6: but I'm not settling here. I'm going to put an 491 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 6: end to this generational curse, and I'm going to start 492 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 6: a rational blessing. Hezekiah was a barrier breaker. You may 493 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 6: be in some kind of limited environment. If Hezekiah were 494 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 6: here today, he would tell you. 495 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 4: You don't have to stay there. 496 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 6: How you start is not important. How you finish is 497 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 6: what matters. Do yourself and your family a favor, break 498 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 6: out of that mold. Don't pass negative things down to 499 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 6: the next generation. 500 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 4: You can be the difference maker. 501 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 6: You can be the one that sets your family on 502 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 6: a course to honoring God, a course of blessing, favor 503 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 6: and victory. I'm asking you to recondition your mind, get 504 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 6: rid of strongholds that are keeping you back.
