I promise you 41 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 3: we'll make you feel right at home. I like to 42 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 3: start with something funny, and I heard about this husband 43 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 3: and wife. They'd been arguing for a long time about 44 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 3: who should make the coffee in the morning. The husband 45 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 3: thought it was the wife's job, but she just didn't agree. 46 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 3: After several heated debates, she finally told him, I can 47 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: prove it to you from the Bible that it's the 48 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 3: men's job to make the coffee. He said, what are 49 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: you talking about. Nothing in the Bible about the man 50 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: making the coffee. She said, sure, there is. She opened 51 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 3: her Bible and pointed to the Book of Hebrews. Say 52 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 3: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 53 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 3: am what it says. I am. I have what it 54 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: says I have. I can do what it says I 55 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 56 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 3: I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 57 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 3: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 58 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 3: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 59 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 3: the power of the soil. You can have a good 60 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 3: seed that's healthy and strong, it's full of potential, but 61 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 3: if it's not planted in good soil, it's not going 62 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 3: to become what it was created to be. The problem 63 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 3: is not with the seed. A scientist could study the 64 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 3: seed run test, they would find that is full of life. 65 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 3: If it's an apple seed, it has apples in it. 66 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 3: If it's a rose bush, it has blossoms in it. 67 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: But if it's planted in soil that's full of rocks, weeds, 68 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 3: and thorns, it may grow some, but it's not going 69 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 3: to produce what it should. It may survive, but it's 70 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 3: not going to be healthy. It's the same principle in life. 71 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 3: You're a seed. You are full of gifts, talents, potential. 72 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: But if you plant yourself in unhealthy soil, if you 73 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 3: hang around friends that compromise and pull you down, if 74 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 3: you're in an environment that's limited, with people that tell 75 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 3: you what you can't become, you won't see the growth 76 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: that you should not because there's something wrong with your seed. 77 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 3: You're made in the image of God. The problem is 78 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: with the soil. The rocks, the thorns, the weeds are 79 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 3: choking the life out of your seed. Jesus told a 80 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 3: parable about a man that sowed seed on good ground, 81 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 3: and it produced a great harvest many crops. Another sowed 82 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 3: seed on rocky ground, didn't produce too much. Another sold 83 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 3: it on ground where the weeds and the thorns kept 84 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 3: the seed from growing. All the same seed. What made 85 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 3: the difference was the soil. The thorns are things like 86 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 3: friends that keep causing you to compromise. The weeds are 87 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 3: those co workers that sit around in gossip all day. 88 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 3: The rocks are those family members that tell you how 89 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 3: you can't break that addiction. If you hang around negative people, 90 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 3: they're choking out your seed. Those friends you're tempted to 91 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 3: party with, they may be fond, they're popular, but what 92 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 3: you can't see is they're a weed. They're keeping you 93 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 3: from flourishing. The environment you put yourself in is extremely important. 94 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 3: No matter how good the seed is, it's dependent on 95 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: having good soil. You have to be selective with whom 96 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 3: you give your time, energy, and attention. Because people are contagious, 97 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 3: you're going to catch what they have. If your friends 98 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 3: are prejudiced, you're going to become prejudice. If your friends 99 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: have limited thinking, they don't have any goals, no motivation, 100 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 3: That narrow minded mentality is going to rub off on you. 101 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 3: You're going to become like the people you continually associate with. 102 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 3: Don't hang around people that don't have anything you want. 103 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 3: If they're not making you better, if they're not inspiring 104 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 3: you causing you to grow, then you need to make 105 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 3: some changes. You need to pull up those weeds. Quit 106 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 3: hanging around thorny friends. People that bring out the worst 107 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: in you, talk you out of your dreams, cause you 108 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: to compromise. Their negativity is contaminating your soil. Your destiny 109 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 3: is too great to waste it with people that are 110 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 3: not adding value to your life. Well, Joel, what if 111 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 3: I hurt their feelings? What if you miss your destiny? 112 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 3: What if they choke out your seeds? What if they 113 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 3: keep you from blossoming. I've heard it said it's not 114 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 3: enough to just focus on self development. You have to 115 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 3: focus on soil development, on what's around you, on what's 116 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 3: influencing you, on what you're spending time and attention with. 117 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 3: Are you putting your seed in good soil or is 118 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 3: it being contaminated by what you watch, by what you 119 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: think about, by who you're spending time with. What you're 120 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 3: unwilling to walk away from is where you'll stop growing. 121 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 3: If you know a person is pulling you down, but 122 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 3: you won't make a change, then you'll get stuck where 123 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 3: you are. Your seed can't grow in bad soil. If 124 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 3: you don't get rid of the wrong people, you'll never 125 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 3: meet the right people. Here's the key. God will never 126 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 3: ask us to give something up without giving us more 127 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 3: back in return. And sure, you may go through a 128 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 3: season of being lonely, but what will happen is God 129 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 3: will give you new friends, better friends, people that push 130 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 3: you up instead of pulling you down. In the scripture, 131 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 3: God told Abraham to leave his country, leave his relatives, 132 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 3: and go to a new land. Abraham left, He headed out, 133 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 3: but he took his nephew Lot with him. He was 134 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 3: only supposed to take his immediate family. Before long, Abraham 135 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: and Lot had a disagreement. There was strife and arguing 136 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 3: between their herdsmen. Then Lot moved to a different place 137 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 3: and got in trouble. Abraham felt responsible, so he had 138 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 3: to go rescue him. He spent all this time and 139 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 3: energy involved in a problem that he should have never 140 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 3: had if he would have left Lot in the first place. 141 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: Some of the challenges we face are because we didn't 142 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: leave who God told us to leave. What's interesting is 143 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 3: the name Lot means veil or covering. When you leave Lot, 144 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 3: when you leave what you know you're supposed to leave, 145 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 3: the veil will come off. You will see things you've 146 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 3: never seen. New friendship, new opportunities, new talents, new levels. 147 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 3: Are you holding on to what God asks you to 148 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 3: let go of? Someone something that's pulling you down, keeping 149 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 3: you from your best Your seed can't flourish in a 150 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: negative environment. That's keeping you from growing. And when I 151 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 3: say leave, I don't mean you have to go make 152 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: a big announcement. Hey, you're contaminating me. I'm done with you. 153 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 3: I simply mean, little by little, start spending less and 154 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 3: less time within. If you have a bunch of weeds, 155 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 3: it's choking out your dreams, your vision, your character. At 156 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 3: the office, that person you eat lunch with that's always 157 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 3: complaining about the boss, jealous of coworkers, mad at their spouse. 158 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 3: I say this respectfully. They're a weed. They are contaminating 159 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 3: your soil. They're keeping you from flourishing. And yes, they're 160 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 3: made in the image of God. They can change, but 161 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 3: until they do, you shouldn't let them pollute you. I'm 162 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 3: nice to everyone, but I don't spend my time with everyone. 163 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 3: I'm selective about who I allow in my life. I 164 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 3: don't spend time with negative, critical, jealous, small minded, can't 165 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 3: do it, bitter people. I value what God has given 166 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 3: me too much to put my seed in bad soil. 167 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 3: We have a responsibility. God has given you a gift. 168 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 3: He could have created anyone to be alive at this 169 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: day in time, but He chose you. Your seed is full 170 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 3: of potential. Your seed has greatness in it. Your seed 171 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 3: can set a new standard for your family. Your seed 172 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 3: can break generational curses. What God has given you is 173 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 3: extremely valuable. Now do your part. Keep your seed in 174 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 3: good soil. I have a row of bushes around my house, 175 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 3: and for years they've been healthy and green, just as 176 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 3: lush as can be. But several months ago we noticed 177 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 3: a few of them, all next to each other, started 178 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 3: to look like something was wrong. They were a little 179 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 3: shriveled up and not as green as they should be. 180 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 3: A couple of weeks later, they were all dead, about 181 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 3: fifteen feet out of a long row of bushes. The 182 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 3: landscaper came out. First thing he said was let me 183 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 3: check the soil. He ran some test and found that 184 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 3: the soil in that area had become contaminated. We had 185 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 3: to dig it out and replace it. Now the new 186 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 3: plants are just as healthy as the others. But sometimes 187 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 3: we wonder why. We feel kind of like we're shriveled 188 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 3: and we're not growing. God, why aren't you doing anything? 189 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 3: Check your soil? Has it become contaminated? Who you're spending 190 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 3: time with? What are you giving your attention to. You 191 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 3: can't watch the news all day and live a positive, 192 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 3: faith filled life. After about twenty minutes, you'll be depressed. 193 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 3: Pay attention to your environment. What are you taking in 194 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 3: all day? A man told me how he drove an 195 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 3: hour each way to work for twenty years listening to 196 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 3: talk radio. It was a political station where they're debating politics, 197 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 3: people arguing, being disrespectful, and he would get so wrought up, 198 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 3: so mad. By the time he got to work, he 199 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 3: was sour. Nobody wanted to be around him. He didn't 200 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 3: even like himself. He had turned into a bitter, angry man. 201 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 3: One day, he was flipping through the channels and came 202 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: across our serious exem station. He heard me speaking and 203 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 3: couldn't turn it off. That was over a year ago. 204 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 3: He said, Joel, I'm a different person. I'm happy, I'm friendly. 205 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: People even asked me what happened to you? What was 206 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 3: the problem all those years? His soil, that negativity was 207 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 3: choking out his joy, his faith, his victory. We have 208 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 3: enough negative things in life that we have no control over. 209 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 3: Be selective about what you do have control over. Driving 210 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 3: to work, put on something uplifting music that inspires you. 211 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 3: Listen to a message that builds your faith. Keep your 212 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: seed in good soil at home. Don't leave the television 213 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: on all day. Chatter, noise in the background, that's your soil. 214 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 3: This is the reason some people aren't growing. They're talented, 215 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 3: they have potential, but their soil has become contaminated. You 216 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 3: have to protect your seed. I know a professional football 217 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 3: player that was diagnosed with cancer. It only been in 218 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 3: the league a couple years. His dream came true, then 219 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 3: he was hit with this diagnosis. He didn't fall apart, 220 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 3: he didn't get bitter. He still lives at home. He 221 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 3: told his mother that he didn't want anyone using the 222 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 3: word cancer in his house. He didn't want that word 223 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 3: down in his spirit. He knew if he was in 224 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 3: a depressed environment, I feel sorry for me, you may 225 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 3: not make it. Atmosphere, he wouldn't get well. His attitude 226 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 3: was I am healed, I am whole. I will play 227 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 3: football again. I will fulfill my destiny. God is bigger 228 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 3: than what I'm facing What was he doing creating an 229 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 3: environment a victory? He was keeping his seed in good soil. 230 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 3: Two years later he was back in the league. When 231 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 3: you face difficulties more than ever, you need to keep 232 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 3: your mind filled with thoughts of faith. You need to 233 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: surround yourself with people that speak hope and life, people 234 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 3: that will agree with what you're believing. For you can't 235 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 3: afford to have people that are negative, discouraged, telling you 236 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 3: how you may not make it. And I don't know. 237 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 3: My grandmother died of that same thing. Do yourself a favor. 238 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 3: Stay away from people like that. Don't let them pollute 239 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 3: your soil. One time, Jesus went to pray for a 240 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 3: little girl that had died, and when you arrived at 241 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 3: the house, everyone was weeping and so upset. He told 242 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 3: them that she wasn't dead, she was just asleep. They 243 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 3: begin to laugh and make fun. Jesus asked them all 244 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 3: to leave the room. Only one that stayed were Peter, 245 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 3: James and John. He spoke to the little girl and 246 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 3: she was healed. Why did Jesus make them leave? He 247 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 3: could have healed her in front of everyone. He's God. 248 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 3: He was showing us the importance of having the right environment. People, 249 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 3: if you allow them, can talk you out of your dreams. 250 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 3: Their doubt and negativity can rub off on you. You 251 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 3: have to set some boundaries. I love you, but I'm 252 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 3: not going to let you poison me. I have a 253 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 3: destiny to fulfill. I'm going to love you from outside 254 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 3: the room. This is what happened with the Israelites. Moses 255 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 3: sent twelve men to spy out the promised land. Ten 256 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 3: came back and said, Moses, we don't have a chance. 257 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 3: There are giants in the land. Compared to them, we 258 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 3: felt like grasshoppers. The other two spies, Joshua and Caleb, 259 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 3: had a different report. They said, Moses, we are well able. 260 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 3: Let us go in at once and take this land. 261 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 3: But the negative report from the majority from the ten 262 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 3: spies began to spread throughout the whole camp. Before long, 263 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 3: all two million Israelites were discouraged, complaining saying, Moses, let's 264 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 3: go back to Egypt. Let's just go back to being slaves. 265 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 3: God had promised them the victory. But they never did 266 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 3: make it in because their soil was contaminated. That sea 267 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 3: couldn't grow in that negative environment. The people you surround 268 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 3: yourself with are extremely important. Don't hang around, can't do it? 269 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,719 Speaker 3: People not able to people. Yes, I know God promised you, 270 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 3: but I don't see how you can get well, how 271 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 3: you can meet the right person, how you'll break that addiction. 272 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 3: Stay away from people like that. Find Joshua, find Caleb. 273 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 3: Not people that will throw water on your flame, but 274 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 3: people that will fan your flame, people that will join 275 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 3: their faith with yours and say, hey, if you believe, 276 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 3: count me in, I'm going to believe with you. When 277 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 3: Henry Ford had a dream to make a car with 278 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 3: an engine, he started developing it, but everyone told him 279 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 3: it wouldn't work, that it wasn't a good idea. He 280 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 3: was about to stop when Thomas Edison came to see him. 281 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 3: They had never met. They introduced mister Ford as the 282 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 3: man trying to build a car that would run on gasoline. 283 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 3: Edison's eyes got big. He hit his fist on the 284 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 3: table and said, you've got it. A car that has 285 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 3: its own power plant. That's a brilliant idea. Henry Ford 286 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 3: would tell how that conversation and that friendship is what 287 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 3: kept him going. None of us would be driving a 288 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 3: Ford if he had not found that good soil. The critics. 289 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 3: The naysayers are a dime a dozen. Ten of the 290 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 3: twelve spies were negative. That's about average. Eighty percent will 291 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 3: tell you what you can't do. You have to find 292 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 3: the twenty percent that will tell you what you can do. 293 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 3: The majority, most of the time won't see what you see. 294 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 3: They won't encourage you. You have to find the minority. 295 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 3: And I believe that one reason I'm seeing God's favor 296 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 3: is because I've been in good soil, and a lot 297 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 3: of it I can't take credit for was in anything 298 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 3: I did. It was simply the goodness of God. I 299 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 3: was raised by parents that always told me what I 300 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 3: could become in a loving, faith filled environment. I saw 301 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 3: my father believe for big things, break barriers that he 302 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 3: was raised with. He came out of poverty and he 303 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 3: lived with this all things are possible mentality. Years before 304 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 3: my father passed away, Victoria would tell me that one 305 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 3: day I was going to past to the church, and 306 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 3: that seems so odd. I used to think, what is 307 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 3: she talking about. I can't get up in front of people. 308 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 3: But year after years she told me what I could become. 309 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 3: When my father went to be with the Lord, I 310 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 3: was able to step up why my seed had been 311 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 3: in good soil. My sister Lisa worked behind the scenes 312 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 3: seventeen years with me. She was the head of our 313 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 3: volunteers and she would assist my father during the services, 314 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 3: make sure that he had what he needed. The Sunday 315 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 3: after my father died, I was sitting in my father's 316 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 3: seat about to go up to minister. Lisa was sitting 317 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 3: behind me, where she always sat. She said that God 318 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 3: spoke to her down in her heart. He said, just 319 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 3: as you served your father, you are to now serve 320 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 3: your brother. For the last eighteen years, that's what Lisa 321 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 3: has done, She's helped me encourage me. She could have 322 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 3: been jealous God, I wanted to be promoted. I don't 323 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 3: want to serve him. I want him to serve me, 324 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 3: Thank you Jesus. Instead she celebrated me. What am I saying. 325 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 3: I didn't get here by myself. I got here because 326 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 3: I had good soil all around me. People that believed 327 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 3: in me, people that cheered me on, people that encouraged me. 328 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 3: Here's what I'm saying. Your soil is just as important 329 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 3: as your seed. You may have had just the opposite 330 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 3: people that didn't support you. Instead of telling you what 331 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 3: you could become. They told you what you couldn't do. 332 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 3: The good news is that doesn't have to stop you. 333 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 3: Your seed is still alive. If you will get it 334 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 3: in a different environment with can do people, with possibility, thinking, 335 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 3: with friends that inspire you, then your seed will take 336 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 3: root and begin to blossom. You can still reach the 337 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 3: fullness of your destiny. This is what Elijah did. He 338 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 3: was out working in the fields, a farmer, no doubt, 339 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 3: from a limited background. Didn't look like he had much 340 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 3: of a future. But the prophet Elijah came by and 341 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,239 Speaker 3: called out to him. Elisha saw something in Elijah that 342 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 3: he wanted. He saw the favor on his life. How 343 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 3: Elijah was doing great things. He connected with him. He thought, 344 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 3: that's good soil. That's where I need to keep my seed. 345 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 3: For years, Elisha served Elijah. He waited on him, would 346 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 3: bring him food, He wouldn't leave him. In fact, three 347 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 3: times Elijah tried to get Elisha to go do his 348 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 3: own thing, but he wouldn't do it. When Elijah was 349 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 3: taken to heaven, Elisha received a double portion of his anointing. 350 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 3: If Elisha would have stayed out in the fields in 351 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 3: that limited environment, with the friends he grew up with. 352 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 3: He would have never seen the double He had to 353 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 3: get his seed in the right soil. You need people 354 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 3: in your life that are further along than you, people 355 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 3: that have a bigger vision, that are more successful, more 356 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 3: well off in one sense, people that are out of 357 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 3: your league. You have to be exposed to new levels 358 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 3: before you can go to new levels. If you're the 359 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 3: smartest one in your group, your group is too small. 360 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 3: If you're the most successful, you need to get a 361 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 3: larger circle. Don't be intimidated by people that are further along. 362 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 3: Be inspired, Find some good mentors, connect with dreamers, people 363 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 3: that have a bigger vision. Glean from them. That's good soil. 364 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: A friend of mine feeds a million children a day. 365 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 3: He supports charities that help these underprivileged children. His goal 366 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 3: is to feed ten million a day. When I'm around him, 367 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 3: I'm inspired. It makes me dream bigger. I thank god 368 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 3: you did it for him, You can do it for me. 369 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 3: What is that my seed getting in good soil? Does 370 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 3: your vision increase around your friends or does it decrease? 371 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 3: Do you lead challenged? Motivated? Inspired? Are you discouraged? Negative? Drained? 372 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that every friend will inspire you, 373 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 3: but you should have one or two that light of 374 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 3: fire on the inside that push you forward. If you 375 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 3: own invest in people at your same level, you'll get 376 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 3: stuck there. Find a mentor somebody that's gone where you 377 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 3: want to go. Just as the wrong people will pull 378 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 3: you down, the right people will pull you up. In 379 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 3: Acts chapter three, a crippled man had been lying by 380 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 3: the temple gate for years asking for money. Peter came 381 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 3: along and said, I don't have any money, but in 382 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 3: the name of Jesus, rise and walk. Nothing happened. The 383 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 3: man looked at Peter like, what do you mean, rise 384 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 3: and walk? I'm crippled. I've been this way my whole life. 385 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 3: I can't walk. This could have been the end of 386 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 3: the story. Peter could have thought I did my part. 387 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 3: It didn't work, But the scripture says Peter took him 388 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 3: by the right hand and lifted him up. As he did, 389 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 3: the man's legs were instantly healed. Notice Peter wouldn't let 390 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 3: the man stay down. He didn't give him a choice. 391 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 3: He prayed for him and then pulled him up. You 392 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 3: need some friends like Peter that won't let you stay 393 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 3: down when you're in the pits when you can't get 394 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 3: up by yourself. Not people that will get in the 395 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 3: pit with you. Let's tell sad stories together, let's feel 396 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 3: sorry for ourselves. No people that will pull you out 397 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 3: of that pit. People that love you so much. They 398 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 3: won't let you stay addicted. They won't let you stay depressed. 399 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 3: They won't let you miss your destiny. Not just people 400 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 3: that pray, but they pull you up. 401 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 2: Now. 402 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: I know that's why many come out here and many 403 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 3: of you listen, because you know we're always going to 404 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 3: lift you up. You may be down, but we're not 405 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 3: going to let you stay down. We're gonna tell you 406 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 3: get up. There are new levels.

If you're crippled in 415 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 3: some area, so to speak, and you surround yourself with 416 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 3: people just like you, there's nobody to help you up. 417 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 3: You have to get around somebody stronger, somebody more successful, 418 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 3: somebody free, so they can lift you. Lame people can't 419 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 3: help lame people up. Addicted people can't help addicted people up. 420 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 3: Maybe you need to change who you're spending time with. 421 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 3: God has some peters waiting for you.
