Speaker 4: But thanks for tuning in.

56
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 5: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

57
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 5: about this country grandmother. She'd go out on her front

58
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 5: porch every morning and thank the Lord for another day.

59
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 5: Her neighbor didn't believe in God. He'd shout back, there's

60
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 5: no such thing as the Lord. One day he overheard

61
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 5: her asking God to give her groceries for the week.

62
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 5: He snuck over early the next morning put groceries on

63
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 5: her front porch. She came out and said, thank you, Lord,

64
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 5: you did it again. He laughed and said, God didn't

65
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 5: give you those groceries. I put them there. She said, Lord,

66
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 5: thank you not only sent me the groceries, but you've

67
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 5: made the devil pay for them. Say it like you

68
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 5: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it

69
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 5: says I am. I have what it says I have.

70
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 5: I can do what it says I can do. Today

71
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 5: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess.

72
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 5: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

73
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 5: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

74
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 5: I want to talk to you today about you are

75
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 5: good seed. Life tries to convince us that we're average.

76
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 5: There's nothing special about us. We have too many obstacles.

77
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 5: We'll never accomplish our dreams. We've made too many mistakes.

78
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 5: We'll never leave our mark.

79
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: We don't realize who we are.

80
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 5: The scripture says we have the divine nature of God.

81
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: We are his offspring.

82
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 5: That means you have the DNA of Almighty.

83
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: God in your seed.

84
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 5: Is favor, creativity, courage, new level. You can't have God's

85
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 5: DNA and be average. That seed will override challenges. That

86
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 5: seed will propel you where you can't go on your own.

87
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 5: If you're going to reach your potential, you have to

88
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 5: know you are good seed. God wouldn't have breathed his

89
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 5: life into you. He wouldn't have chosen you before you

90
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 5: could choose him. If you didn't have purpose, destiny, greatness.

91
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 5: There's something in you that will cause.

92
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 4: You to leave your mark.

93
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 5: You may have made mistakes, but that didn't stop the seed.

94
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 5: You may have come from negative circumstances, but that doesn't

95
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 5: change your seed. Don't let how you were raised, what

96
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 5: you didn't get, any dysfunction convince you that you're not

97
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 5: up to par you can't do something great.

98
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 4: The environment doesn't change the seed.

99
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 5: You can have bad circumstances, but because you're good seed,

100
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 5: you're still going to shine, You're still going to blossom.

101
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 5: A young lady told me how when her mother was

102
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 5: pregnant with her, she was addicted to drugs. When she

103
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 5: was born, she had the same addiction. It seemed like

104
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 5: she was at a disadvantage.

105
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 4: She was sent from.

106
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 5: Foster home to foster home. All the odds were against her.

107
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 5: But today she's successful. She runs her own company, she

108
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 5: has healthy children, a great marriage. Why is that bad

109
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 5: circumstances can't stop a good seed? Can I tell you

110
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 5: you are a good seed? God has crowned you with fever.

111
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 5: You have royal blood flowing through your veins. You wouldn't

112
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 5: be here if you weren't equipped, empowered and anointed. You

113
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 5: may have been raised in an unhealthy environment by people

114
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 5: that had issues, but here's the key. You came through

115
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 5: your mother, but you came from Almighty God. Who you

116
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 5: come from is more important than who you come through.

117
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 5: And the soil may not always be perfect. But because

118
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 5: you're seed is so good, you will succeed despite the dysfunction.

119
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 5: You will prosper despite the economy. You will raise great

120
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 5: children despite negative influences. You will overcome the illness, despite

121
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: what the medical report says. All these negative circumstances, Really

122
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 5: they're just fertilizer. They can't stop your seed. The stinky stuff,

123
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,119
Speaker 5: the bad breaks, the people that walked away. We don't

124
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 5: like it, but it didn't stop your destiny. It simply

125
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 5: fertilized your seed. It made you stronger, more confident. Don't

126
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 5: complain about the fertilizer. You need fertilizer to boost your growth.

127
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 5: We have some flower beds at home. A couple of

128
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 5: times a year we put mult in them. One of

129
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 5: the main ingredients of mulch is manure. It smells so

130
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 5: badly you can hardly stay outside, But in a couple

131
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 5: of months the smell is gone and the plants are blooming, blossoming,

132
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 5: see new growth.

133
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: The fertilizer as.

134
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 5: Stinky as it smells, it's providing valuable nutrients and minerals

135
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 5: for the plants. Sometimes life stinks.

136
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 4: We go through things that are not fair.

137
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 5: We came down with an illness, our child is struggling,

138
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 5: the business has slowed. We think these negative circumstances are

139
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 5: going to stop us.

140
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 4: Have a new perspective. It's fertilizer.

141
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 5: It stinks, but it's not working against you. It's working

142
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 5: for you. God is going to take what was meant

143
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 5: for your harm and.

144
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 4: Turn it to your advantage. It was meant to stop you.

145
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 5: But if you'll keep believing, keep thanking God, keep doing

146
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 5: the right thing, you're going to come out stronger, healthier,

147
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 5: better than you were before. Don't sweat the stinky stuff.

148
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 5: We all have fertilizer. That coworker that gets on your nerves,

149
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 5: always trying to stir up trouble. Next time you see them,

150
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 5: instead of being frustrated under your breath, you're just fertilizer.

151
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 5: You're trying to push me down. You don't realize I'm

152
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,679
Speaker 5: good seed. I have the DNA of Almighty God.

153
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 4: What He's destined for you.

154
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 5: No person can stop what God has put in your seed,

155
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 5: that greatness, that purpose.

156
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 4: No sickness, no addiction, no trouble. All the forces of.

157
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 5: Darkness cannot keep your seed from flourishing. Just ask Joseph,

158
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 5: betrayed by his brothers, thrown into a pit, sold into slavery,

159
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 5: falsely accused, put in prison, one bad break after another.

160
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 5: He could have been depressed. God, you said I'd be

161
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 5: in leadership. I must have heard you wrong. He understood

162
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 5: this principle that bad circumstances cannot stop good seed, that

163
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 5: negative situations are simply fertilizer.

164
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 4: They're necessary so you can bloom.

165
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 5: When his brothers betrayed him, instead of trying to get even,

166
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 5: his attitude was, they just fertilized me. When Potiphar's wife

167
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 5: falsely accused him, I'm not worried more fertilizer. One day,

168
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 5: unexpectedly the Pharaoh called for Joseph. He went to the palace.

169
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 5: He ended up making Joseph the prime minister of Egypt.

170
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 5: When you understand that you are good seed, that what

171
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 5: God promised will come to pass, then you won't complain.

172
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 4: About the fertilizer. The fertilizer is necessary, Yes, it stinks.

173
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 5: Yes, it's uncomfortable, but it's making that seed stronger.

174
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,359
Speaker 4: It's developing your character. It's giving you endurance.

175
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 5: It's getting you prepared to blossom in position to see

176
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 5: the greatness of our God. I talked to a man

177
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 5: that was so upset because his boss was against him

178
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 5: and always trying to make him look bad.

179
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 4: I told him what I'm telling you. It's fertilizer. Stay

180
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 4: on the.

181
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 5: High road, and God will not only do a work

182
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 5: in you, but he'll take care of your enemies. It

183
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 5: may stink right now, but don't worry. Fertilizer stinks. That

184
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 5: means you're about to see new growth. He got his

185
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 5: passion back and went to the office, being his vest,

186
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 5: taking the high road, working under God, not on de man.

187
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 5: Several occasions he should have been promoted, but because of

188
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 5: this unfair boss, he was passed over. One day, the

189
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 5: CEO of the whole company was in town and this

190
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 5: man had to give a report. The CEO was very

191
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 5: impressed with his work. About a year later, a position

192
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 5: came available that should have gone to his boss, but

193
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 5: this CEO skipped over the boss and went straight to

194
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 5: this man and offered the position to him. Now instead

195
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 5: of having to work for that boss was hard to

196
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 5: get along with, the tables have turned.

197
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 4: The boss is working for him.

198
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 5: One touch of God's favor and you'll go from the

199
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 5: back to the front, from the prison to the when Joel,

200
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 5: I've got a lot of fertilizer on me, I have

201
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 5: a lot coming against me that tells me you're about

202
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 5: to blossom in an amazing way.

203
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 4: You wouldn't have that difficulty.

204
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 5: You wouldn't have all the fertilizer if God wasn't about

205
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 5: to do something.

206
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 4: Awesome in your life.

207
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 5: I was out on my driveway the other day and

208
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 5: I saw this weed growing up in the middle of

209
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 5: the concrete.

210
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 4: I thought, how is that possible?

211
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 5: The concrete is hard, there's no good soil, The conditions

212
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 5: are totally unfavorable. But when God wants your seed to

213
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 5: come up, concrete can't stop it.

214
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 4: Bad breaks can't stop it.

215
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 5: The life God put in you is more powerful than

216
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 5: any force that's trying to hold you back. Think about

217
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 5: a little seed, even planted in the ground. The dirt

218
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 5: that's on top of it is hundreds of times heavier.

219
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 5: People can walk on top of the dirt, push it down,

220
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 5: compact it, make it harder. Seed doesn't look like it

221
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 5: has a chance. The dirt could say, too bad, you're done.

222
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 5: You'll never overpower me. I'm bigger, stronger, heavier. But the

223
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 5: seed doesn't worry. The seed doesn't start complaining. I thought

224
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 5: I was supposed to grow. I thought I was going

225
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 5: to be a beautiful flower. I guess it wasn't meant

226
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 5: to be. No, the seed just rest in what God

227
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 5: created it to be. The seed doesn't have to do

228
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 5: the work. It lets the life put in it by its.

229
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 4: Creator do the work.

230
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 5: Before long, that little seed opens up, and against all odds,

231
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 5: it begins to push back the dirt. Over time, it's

232
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 5: standing above the ground with beautiful flowers shining brightly.

233
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 4: You may have some dirt on you. Now, don't worry.

234
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 4: You are a good seed.

235
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 5: What God put in you is more powerful than what's

236
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 5: trying to stop you. Like that little seed, you don't

237
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 5: have to make it happen, try to manipulate things, force

238
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 5: it to work, live stressed out.

239
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 4: No, you can rest knowing that the seed is going

240
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 4: to do the work.

241
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 5: The scripture says God watches over his word to perform it.

242
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 5: His word is called seed. In the same way God

243
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 5: is watching over your seed. He's making sure what he

244
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 5: put in you is going to come to pass. Good

245
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 5: seed is not stopped by bad circumstances.

246
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 4: Good seed is.

247
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 5: Not stopped by opposition. In life, you'll have some dirt

248
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 5: put on you. At times, it feels like you're buried.

249
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 5: You'll never get past this sickness, this trouble, this addiction.

250
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 5: It's dark, you feel pressure all around. You don't see

251
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 5: a way out. The good news is you're not buried.

252
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 4: You're planted. The difference is when you're.

253
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 5: Buried, you're done, But when you're planted, you're coming up again, stronger, healthier,

254
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 5: more successful.

255
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 4: But here's the key.

256
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 5: Being planted feel the same as being buried. It's dark,

257
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 5: it's uncomfortable. We don't see anything good.

258
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 4: There's pressure.

259
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 5: If you judge things too soon, you'll get discouraged, give

260
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 5: up on your dreams, think it will never work out.

261
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 5: God has you hearing this to let you know you're

262
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 5: not buried, you're planted. Yes it's uncomfortable, Yes you don't

263
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 5: understand it, but this is not the end. The seed

264
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 5: God put in you is about to spring forth the dreams,

265
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 5: the health, the freedom, the abundance, the right people don't

266
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 5: be discouraged.

267
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 4: By the dirt.

268
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 5: The seed is designed to push back the dirt. It's

269
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 5: designed to outlast the opposition. The seed will not fail.

270
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 5: The life of Almighty God is in that seed. My

271
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 5: grandfather was a great gardener. He loved to plant things.

272
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 5: He knew how to grow all kinds of fruits, vegetables, flowers.

273
00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 4: One thing that made.

274
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 5: Him say so good at gardening is he knew when

275
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 5: to plant. He knew there was a specific time to

276
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 5: plant tomatoes, a specific time to plant roses.

277
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: Just because he had good seed.

278
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 5: If he didn't plant it at the right time, it

279
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 5: wouldn't become what it should. He didn't just randomly plant

280
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 5: whenever he felt like it.

281
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 4: He did it strategically.

282
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 5: He made sure it was the right season and all

283
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 5: the conditions were in.

284
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 4: Place so the seed could grow.

285
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 5: Jesus said in John fifteen that God is the gardener.

286
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 5: He knew exactly when to plant you. You could have

287
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 5: been born three hundred years ago. You could have lived

288
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 5: two hundred years from now. You didn't just happen to

289
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 5: show up on planet Earth today. Your parents just decided

290
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 5: to have a baby.

291
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 4: God knew you before you were formed. In your mother's womb.

292
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 5: And when God, as the master gardener, thought about when

293
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 5: to plant you, he didn't just randomly do it, just

294
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 5: pick a date, pick any time. God is strategic, like

295
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 5: my grandfather, knew there was a specific time to plant.

296
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 5: God looked down through the ages of time. He studied

297
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 5: what would be going on, what the economy would be like,

298
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 5: the culture, the technology, the opposition.

299
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 4: He took into account everything.

300
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 5: We would face. Then he put his DNA in us.

301
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 5: He matched us for the season we would live in.

302
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 5: The scripture says in Acts seventeen, God predetermined when you

303
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 5: would be born, where you would be born, and what tribe,

304
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 5: what family you would come from, before your parents ever

305
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 5: breed the breath, before they ever showed up. God already

306
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 5: knew you and chose when you would live.

307
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 4: He planted you for this time. This is your moment.

308
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 5: You've been equipped and empowered. He put his anointing on

309
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 5: your life favor. You have the talent, the courage, the connections.

310
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 5: Everything has been strategically thought out. You're not lacking. The

311
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 5: obstacles you face are not too much for you. If

312
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 5: you couldn't handle it, God wouldn't have planted you.

313
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 4: Now.

314
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 5: If the giants were too big, You wouldn't be here.

315
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 5: If the dream wasn't attainable, you wouldn't have breath.

316
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 4: You are here for such a time as this. God

317
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 4: knew there would be a pandemic.

318
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 5: He knew there'd be people trying to stop you. He

319
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 5: knew about that illness. You'd have to face the opposition

320
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 5: that looks too big. The fact that He planted you

321
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 5: now tells me the conditions are right for you to succeed.

322
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 5: The conditions are right for you to leave your mark.

323
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 5: The circumstances may not be good, but God wouldn't have

324
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 5: planted you at this time if the soil wasn't conducive

325
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 5: for your seed to grow. And sometimes the soil may

326
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 5: feel like concrete, but you have to remind yourself you're

327
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 5: still going to blossom.

328
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 4: You're still going to flourish. Why you are good seed.

329
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 5: You've been strategically planted by the master gardener. You're not

330
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 5: like a weed you just randomly popped up, randomly got.

331
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 4: Here with no purpose.

332
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 5: No, your destiny has been carefully planned. When you understand

333
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 5: that you've been chosen for this time, it will give

334
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 5: you a greater confidence. God could have chosen David to

335
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 5: live now. He could have chosen Abraham, Sarah, Ruth. But

336
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 5: when he strategized about who will be the right people

337
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 5: for the year twenty twenty, Who can I trust in

338
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 5: that difficult time, Who has the courage, the talent, the

339
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 5: fortitude to carry out my will to do awesome things?

340
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 5: He passed over all the saints of old. He looked

341
00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 5: beyond Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Mary, Martha, and he looked into your eyes.

342
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 5: He said, that's who I can count on. That's the

343
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 5: right one for this hour. He didn't just send you

344
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 5: here on your own. He put his DNA in you.

345
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 5: He equipped you with what you.

346
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 4: Need to succeed at this time.

347
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 5: You may not have what Moses had, but you don't

348
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 5: need what he had. God planted you now because this

349
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 5: is the right time for you to flourish, to blossom,

350
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 5: to accomplish dreams, to overcome obstacles, to leave your mark

351
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 5: even in the natural. Do you know what a miracle

352
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 5: it is that you were conceived. When your seed was

353
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 5: trying to connect with your mother's egg, there were two

354
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty million sperm fighting for that one spot.

355
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 4: What are the chances that you would win You're not

356
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 4: an accident.

357
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 5: When it was your time, God said, all right, I'm

358
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 5: going to plant them now. That's why you could fight

359
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 5: off two hundred and fifty million and your seed connected.

360
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 5: You entered that womb. God destined you to be here

361
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 5: before you showed up. You defied the odds before.

362
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 4: You were born.

363
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 5: You defeated giants. You're already an overcomer. You're already victorious.

364
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 5: You were born with favor. Without God's blessing, you would

365
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 5: have never made it into this world. Here's my point.

366
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 5: God wouldn't have gone to all that trouble if you

367
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 5: were average. He wouldn't have carefully and strategically planned out

368
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 5: your destiny if you were just supposed to drift through life,

369
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 5: overcome by problems, struggle to make it.

370
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 4: He chose you because you are good seed.

371
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 5: You have greatness in you. You are destined to take

372
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 5: your family to a new level. After all, God has done,

373
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 5: hand picked you for this time, put his DNA in you,

374
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 5: crowned you with his favor.

375
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 4: Don't you dare or go through.

376
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 5: Life think in your ordinary I can't overcome this challenge.

377
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 5: I'll never get well, I've reached my limits. God wouldn't

378
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 5: have planted you. Now, if that was going to stop you.

379
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 5: He knew what the economy would be, he knew the struggles,

380
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 5: the opposition. The fact that he planted you is a

381
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 5: sure sign you are well, able to overcome, well, able

382
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 5: to raise those children, well, able to beat that cancer, well,

383
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 5: able to accomplish your dreams. Jeremiah said, you will be

384
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 5: like a tree planted by the water, a tree not

385
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 5: bothered by the heat or long months of drought. Your

386
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 5: leaves will stay green, they will keep on producing luscious fruit.

387
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 5: Good seed is not affected by the drought. Good seed

388
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 5: keeps on producing even in famine. Good seed outlast the opposition.

389
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 5: Good seed accomplishes dreams bigger than you imagine. I know

390
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 5: today I am looking at good seed. I'm looking at

391
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 5: people that have been picked by the creator of the universe.

392
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 5: I'm looking at people that have greatness in them, great parents,

393
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 5: great students, great leaders, people that have great influence, great wisdom,

394
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 5: great opportunities.

395
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 4: I'm looking at people that are healthy.

396
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 5: Free, redeemed, restored, victorious. Well, Joel, this sounds good, but

397
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 5: I've made a lot of mistakes. That's why I'm down

398
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 5: on myself. That didn't change your seed you are still

399
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 5: good seed. Abraham is the father of our faith. He

400
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 5: was a great man. No disrespect, But Abraham lied, told

401
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 5: a king that Sarah was his sister and not his wife.

402
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 5: Abraham had a baby out of wedlock.

403
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 4: He wasn't perfect.

404
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 5: He made mistakes, but the scripture says Abraham did not

405
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 5: waver in his faith. Lying seems like wavering to me.

406
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 5: Having a baby with someone other than your wife seems

407
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 5: like wave. But God doesn't judge the way we judge.

408
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 5: We look at our faults, our weaknesses, the times we failed.

409
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 5: We let the accuser fill our mind with condemnation. I'm

410
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 5: not good seed. Look at the mistakes I've made. I'm

411
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 5: not good seed. I went through a divorce, my business failed.

412
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 5: I'm struggling with an addiction. Do you think you can

413
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 5: do something that will change the seed God put in you,

414
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 5: that you can override what he breathed into your DNA.

415
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 5: You're not that powerful. You can't change what God has

416
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 5: already done. He's saying to you what he said to Jeremiah.

417
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 5: I knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb,

418
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 5: and I approved you before Jeremiah did anything good, before

419
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 5: he showed up on planet Earth.

420
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 4: God said I approved you.

421
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 5: Too often we're trying to work for God's approval to

422
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 5: be good enough, strong enough, disciplined enough.

423
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 4: The problem is we all fail.

424
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 5: We all make mistakes, but that doesn't change what God

425
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 5: put in you.

426
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 4: You are still good seed.

427
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 5: You can still have fulfilled your destiny.

428
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 4: You can still become who you were created to be. Gon'na.

429
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 5: Let the accuser convince you that you've blown it too

430
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 5: many times you don't measure up. God will never be

431
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 5: pleased with you. God is saying to you today, I've

432
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 5: approved you. My hand of favor is on you. I

433
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 5: have forgiveness for your mistakes, mercy for your failures, favor

434
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 5: for your future. Now, I wonder what would happen if

435
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 5: every day you would start saying, I.

436
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 4: Am good seed.

437
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 5: When the accuser whispers you're a hypocrite, look at your mistakes.

438
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 5: Say it again, Father, thank you that I am good seed,

439
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 5: that you have mercy for my mistakes, that what you

440
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 5: started in my life.

441
00:24:55,119 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 4: You will finish. Good seed will override mistakes. You've made.

442
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 5: Good seed over ride failures times you didn't measure up.

443
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 5: You've been planted at this time not only because God

444
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 5: believes in you, But.

445
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 4: He's equipped you. You are full of can do power.

446
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 5: The forces that are for you are greater than forces

447
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 5: that are trying to stop you. God is breathing in

448
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 5: your direction right now. Chains that have held you back

449
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 5: are being broken. New doors of opportunity are about to open.

450
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 5: God is about to show you a sign of his favor.

451
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 5: He's going to do something unusual, out of the ordinary,

452
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 5: something that's never happened in your family. It's going to

453
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 5: defy the odds.

454
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 4: Get ready.

455
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 5: The greatness God put in you is about to come out.

456
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 5: He doesn't have you here just to take up space.

457
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 5: There's an assignment for you to accomplish something that only

458
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 5: you can do.

459
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 4: Without you stepping.

460
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 5: Into your purpose, this world will not be what it

461
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 5: should be. There was a young Jewish lady in the

462
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 5: scripture named Esther.

463
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 4: She was an orphan.

464
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 5: She had lost both of her parents, raised in poverty,

465
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 5: She had all these bad breaks. Looked like she was

466
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 5: at a disadvantage. She would never do anything great. But

467
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 5: bad circumstances can't stop good seed. What didn't work out,

468
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 5: how you were raised, who left you, the illness that

469
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 5: didn't stop your destiny? That doesn't mean you'll never leave

470
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 5: your mark. Why, Because you are a good seed. The

471
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 5: most tied God breathed his life into you. You're still

472
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 5: going to flourish. You're still going to meet someone great.

473
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 5: You're still going to live healthy and whole. You're still

474
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 5: going to start that business. The King of Persia decided

475
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 5: to have a beauty pageant so he could find a wife.

476
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 4: Someone invited Esther to enter.

477
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 5: Out of the thousands of girls in the Persian Empire,

478
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 5: Esther was chosen as the queen, the least likely one.

479
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 5: A man named Hayman, one of the king's advisers, came

480
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 5: up with a plan to get rid of all the Jews.

481
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 4: The king didn't know that Estra was Jewish.

482
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 5: When her uncle heard about it, he said, you have

483
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 5: to talk to the king, tell him about this plan.

484
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 5: She said, I can't go in without the king holding.

485
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 4: Up his scepter. I could lose my life.

486
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 5: Her uncle said, if you remain silent, help for the

487
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 5: Jews will come from someone else.

488
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 4: But who knows that.

489
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 5: You were brought to this position for such a time

490
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 5: as this. He was saying, Esther, this is what you

491
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 5: were born for. This is your time to shine. Estra

492
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 5: got her courage up went in to see the king.

493
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 5: She ended up saving the people of Israel. Who would

494
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 5: have thought God would have used this young girl, someone

495
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 5: that was seen as insignificant, Yet we're talking about her

496
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 5: as one of the heroes of faith. All the odds

497
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 5: were against her, but bad circumstances can't stop good Seed.

498
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 4: Can I tell you again? You are good? Good Seed?

499
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 5: You don't know the amazing things God has in store

500
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 5: for you. Why don't you start seeing yourself the right way,

501
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 5: set a focusing on what you don't have, how big

502
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 5: the obstacles are, the mistakes you've made. Start focusing on

503
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 5: the fact that you're a person of destiny. The creator

504
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 5: of the universe handpicked you for this particular time. It's
