I'll never mutter for the road 15 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: to Hell is paved with butter. Cake is cursed, cream 16 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: is awful, and Satan is hiding in every waffle. Belzebove 17 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: is a chocolate drop, Lucifer is a lollipop. Teach me 18 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: the evils of Fridghs kicking from the south. Lord, if 19 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: you love me, shut my mouth, say it like you 20 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: and a job. This is my Bible. I am what 21 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: it says I am. I have what it says I have. 22 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: I can do what it says I can do. Today 23 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 24 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 25 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 26 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about the I 27 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: am advantage, two of the most important words we can 28 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: ever say, or I am. They're just small, ordinary words. 29 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: We use I and am in different ways all through 30 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: the day. But when you put them together, something powerful happens. 31 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: Whatever falls the im will come looking for you. I 32 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: am blessed. Blessings are coming. I am strong. Strength is coming, 33 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: I am healthy. Health is and this is great when 34 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: we use it in the positive and we declare good 35 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: things over our life. The problem is it works in 36 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: the negative as well. I am unattractive. Unattractiveness comes, I 37 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: am lazy. Laziness comes, I am unlucky. Bad breaks come. 38 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: Whatever you put after the I am, you're inviting into 39 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: your life. Just imagine you're sending it an invitation. I 40 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: am talented. You just invited talent to come. I am disciplined, 41 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: I am focused, I am a masterpiece. You're inviting things 42 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: that are making you better and moving you towards your destiny. 43 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: But how many times are we inviting things we don't want? Joel, 44 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm just ordinary. You're inviting ordinary. I am poor, I 45 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: am broke, I am so in debt. You're inviting lack 46 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: struggle and not enough or I am weak, I am tired, 47 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: I am lonely. You're inviting the very things you're trying 48 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: to get rid of. Pay attention to what you're sending 49 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: invitations to. The good news is you get to choose 50 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: what follows the I am no more, I am limited, 51 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: I am out of shape, I am at a disadvantage. 52 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: Do yourself a favor. Cancel those invitations. Quit sending out 53 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: what you don't want. Well, Joel, I'm just telling it 54 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: like it is. It's the truth. I am sick, I 55 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: am broke, I am undisciplined. The scripture says, let the 56 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: weak say I am strong. God didn't say let the 57 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: weak say I am weak. Let the insecure say I 58 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: am not enough. God says, use the I am to 59 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: declare who I say you are. The circumstances may say 60 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: you're sick. The medical report doesn't look good. But don't 61 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: go around saying I am unhealthy, I am going down, 62 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: and I am so worried. You're prophesying your future. Change 63 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: what follows the I am? How about I am healthy, 64 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: I am strong, I am an overcomer, I am armed 65 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: with strength for this battle. You declare that, and healing 66 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: starts coming strength, vitality. Instead of I am limited, I'm 67 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: at a disadvantage, I am not up to par Turn 68 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: that around. I am equipped, I am empowered, I am anointed, 69 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: I am well able. Look at what you're inviting, power, favor, anointing, 70 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: the goodness of God. The scripture says, with our words, 71 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: we can bless ourselves or we can curse ourselves. Sometimes 72 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: it's not the enemy holding us back. We're holding ourselves back. 73 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: We're using these negative ims and we may not even 74 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: realize it. Pay attention to what follows the im. What 75 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: are you saying about yourself else? One reason that I 76 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: am is so powerful is it one of the names 77 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: of God. Moses had been hiding in the desert because 78 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: of a mistake he had made. He had to flee 79 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: from the Egyptians. After forty years, God came to him 80 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: in a burning bush and told him to go deliver 81 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: the Israelites from slavery. That's what he was originally called 82 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: to do. He thought he had missed his purpose. He 83 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: told God how the Pharah wouldn't listen to him, and 84 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: how the Israelites wouldn't follow his leadership. He had all 85 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: these excuses. He finally said, God, if I go, the 86 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: Israelites are going to ask me who sent me? What 87 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: should I tell them? Your name is? God said you 88 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: tell them, my name is I Am. He could have said, 89 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: my name is Jehovah, my name is Yahweh, my name 90 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: is the most High. But out of all the names 91 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: he could have chosen, he simply said, tell them, I 92 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: Am sent you. Every time we say I Am, we 93 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: are saying the name of God. That's why what follows 94 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,119 Speaker 1: the I am has so much power. When you say 95 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: I am healthy, you are saying, in effect, God, I 96 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: believe that I'm healthy. That statement has the authority of 97 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: the creator of the universe. It's not just being positive. 98 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: Let me speak some nice affirmations over me. When you 99 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: use I am, it's backed up by the Most High God. 100 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: You may be struggling, you have some things coming against you, 101 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: but when you declare, I am blessed, I am victorious. 102 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: I am more than a conquer I am the head 103 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: and not the tail. You're not just hyping yourself up. 104 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: The power of the living God is behind those i ams. 105 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: You could be worried about your children, stressed over your job, 106 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: upset over people at work. But instead of giving life 107 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: to all that defeat, you declare, I am peaceful, I 108 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: am calm, I am secure, I am confident. When God 109 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: hears those i ams declaring what he said about you, 110 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: angels go to work. Forces of darkness are broken, miracles 111 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: said intomotion, his power is backing up the I am. 112 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: That's his name. But imagine how God must feel when 113 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: he has created us in his image and crowned us 114 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: with his favor, put the enemy under our feet, called 115 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: us more than conquers. But he hears us using the 116 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: I am to devalue who we are, to criticize ourselves, 117 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: to speak mediocrity. It's like using his name in vain. 118 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: I am not talented enough, I'm not really smart enough. 119 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: I am not attractive enough. No, God calls you a masterpiece. 120 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: He put in you everything you need to reach your destiny. 121 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: I can hear God saying, don't put my name on that. 122 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: Don't use my authority for something I didn't call you. 123 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: A few years ago, someone created a fake brand on 124 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: the internet under Victoria's name. Was this skincare line, had 125 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: all this product, made, all these promises, used her picture, 126 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: They showed her on talk shows telling how amazing it was. 127 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: It was all fake. We had nothing to do with it. 128 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: People had come up, Victoria, I bought your skincare products. 129 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: We love it. We had to tell the authorities take 130 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: our name off of that. It's not us, it's a scam. 131 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: In the same way when God hears us saying I 132 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: am weak, I am addicted, I'm dysfunctional, Joel, it's been 133 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: in my family a long time. I am unworthy. I 134 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: don't deserve to be blessed. I am not able. I 135 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: don't have the training. God says, that's not who I am. 136 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: That's a scam. Don't use my name like that. That's 137 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: the enemy trying to get you to use the I 138 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: am in the wrong way. When you use I am 139 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: to describe who you are or to describe your circumstances, 140 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: you need to make sure it's in agreement with who 141 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: God says you are. Don't use his name in vain. 142 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: I know normally that means cursing, talking bad, but how 143 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: about not using his name to speak negative over yourself 144 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: to contradict who he says you are. Had a friend 145 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: in high school. He was a good guy, very smart, talented, 146 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: and great in sports, but he was always putting himself down. 147 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: I have never known anyone to be more negative toward themselves. 148 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: I don't think he even realized he's doing it, or 149 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: he's just trying to be funny or self deprecating. All 150 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: through the day he would say things like I am 151 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: so stupid in front of the whole class, I am 152 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: so fat, I'm so clumsy. The problem with saying that 153 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: is it's gonna catch up to you. We played basketball, 154 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: he'd miss a shot, and running back down the court 155 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 1: he would say it over and over. I am an idiot. 156 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: I am an idiot. I am an idiot. Thought to myself, 157 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: You're not an idiot. You just missed a shot. We 158 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: all miss shots. Quit cursing your future. Quit using the 159 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: I am in vain. Some people have developed this habit 160 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: of being against themselves. They become trained to speak the 161 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: negative i ams, and they don't realize they're cursing their future. 162 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: You can't go around speaking negative about yourself and reach 163 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: your destiny. As long as you have the wrong i ams, 164 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: it's going to limit your potential. David said in Psalms, 165 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: God put a watch over my mouth. That's a great prayer. God, 166 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: don't let me speak another negative thing about myself. You 167 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: have enough people in life against you. Don't be against yourself. 168 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: Most of us don't go around criticizing other people. You 169 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: don't go to your friends or that person sitting next 170 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: to you and say, man, you don't look good today. 171 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: You are overweight. Your personality really gets on my nerves. 172 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: You may think that, but you don't verbalize it. I 173 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: hope you don't. You're not gonna say something to put 174 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: them down. We're disciplined when it comes to not devaluing others. 175 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: Why are you devaluing yourselves? You don't criticize your friends. 176 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: Why are you critical towards yourself? You don't speak defeat 177 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: over your children. You tell them how beautiful they are, 178 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: how talented, and how proud you are to have them. 179 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: Why don't you start being good to yourself? Don't say 180 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: another time I am unattractive. I am not likable, I'm 181 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: too short, I am clumsy, I am slow. ZiT that up. 182 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: When you criticize yourself, you are criticized in God's creation. 183 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: You might as well look up and say, God, you 184 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: didn't do a very good job on me. The fact 185 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: is God calls you a masterpiece. He made you in 186 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: his own image. He didn't make you in a dog's image, 187 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: or a lion's image, or even an angel's image. You 188 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: have the DNA of Almighty God. You look like the 189 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: creator of the universe. You have royal blood flowing through 190 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: your veins. When God made you, he liked you so 191 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: much he threw away the mold. You are one of 192 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: a kind, a prize possession. But the trick of the 193 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: enemy is to get you to go through life feeling inferior, 194 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: like you're not enough, speaking negative I ams. He knows 195 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: if you go around discounting yourself, you will never see 196 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: the masterpiece you were meant to be. When you say 197 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: I'm not valuable, I'm not that talented, I am ordinary. 198 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: That's honoring to God. You are using his name the 199 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: I am to contradict who he says you are. You 200 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: may feel those ways, but you have to learn to 201 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: turn it around. In the face of insecurity, feeling inferior, 202 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,239 Speaker 1: you need to say I am worthy, I am valuable, 203 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: I am a masterpiece. I am talented. I am crowned 204 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: with favor. That's what causes God to go to work. 205 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: That's using his name the right way. The circumstances may 206 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: say one thing, and it's tempting to talk about that, 207 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: but you have to get in agreement with God. I 208 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: may be struggling with this addiction, but I am not 209 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: an addict. I am not dysfunctional. I am not a 210 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: product of my environment. I am free, I am whole, 211 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: I am clean, I am victorious. See, sometimes the reason 212 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: we're stuck is we keep using our i ams to 213 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: describe the situation, but you need to use the I 214 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: am to change the situation. Business may be slow, my 215 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: bank account may have gone down, but that's not who 216 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: I am. I am blessed, I am prosperous. I am 217 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: under the open windows of heaven. Whatever follows that I 218 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: am is going to come looking for you. I am average, 219 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: average comes looking how about I am exceptional? Exception comes 220 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: looking favor new levels. I am unworthy. I don't measure up. 221 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: Unworthiness comes shame, guilt, try a different I am. I 222 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: am forgiven, I am redeemed, I am restored. I am 223 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: the righteousness of God. That's what brings hope, That's what 224 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: brings life and cause you to get back up and 225 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: go again. When my father went to be with the Lord, 226 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: I knew I was supposed to step up and pasture 227 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: the church. But I didn't feel qualified. I'd been behind 228 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: the scenes for seventeen years doing the television production and 229 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: I had never trained to be a pastor, never ministered. 230 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: Plus my father was a great pastor and so strong, 231 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: this big personality, and I thought I don't have any 232 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: of that. My ims were negative. I am intimidated, I 233 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: am unqualified, I am lacking. And the fact is that 234 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: was all true. I wasn't making it up. That's how 235 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: I felt. But the scripture says, let the week say 236 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: I am strong. Not let the week describe the situation. 237 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: Let the week talk about how you feel. No, let 238 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: the weak declare what God says. If I would have 239 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: kept the wrong I ams, I wouldn't be up here today. 240 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: All these thoughts told me I couldn't do it, But 241 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: all through the day I wouldn't say what I felt 242 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: that was tempting, but I put a watch over my mouth. 243 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: I did my best to only say what God says 244 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: about me. I am strong, I am anointed, I am equipped, 245 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: I am favored. You know what started looking for me? Courage, strength, power, anointing. 246 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: I discovered ability I never dreamed I had talent came 247 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: out that I didn't know was in me. Don't let 248 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: negative i ams keep you from your greatness. You can't 249 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: reach your destiny speaking defeat over your life. Whatever follows that, 250 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: I am, make sure it's uplifting, encouraging, empowering. That is 251 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: what God says about you. See some people get up 252 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: in the morning and look in the mirror, and the 253 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: first thing they say is, man, I am so old looking, 254 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: I am so wrinkled, and I am so out of shape. 255 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: Next time you do that, just imagine you're sending out 256 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: invitations oldness. You are cordially invited into my life. Wrinkles, 257 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: this is your formal invitation, and I'd love to have 258 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: you unattractiveness, ugliness, homeliness. I'd like to personally you better 259 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: start canceling those invitations. Some of you that have already 260 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: shown up. And I'm just kidding, but instead of all 261 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: those negative i ams starting to day off down on yourself. 262 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: Get in agreement with God. If you're gonna use his name, 263 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: put what he says behind it. Father, you said, my 264 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: youth is being renewed like the eagles. So I declare, 265 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: I am young, I am strong, I am good looking, 266 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: I am vibrant. I am a masterpiece. When you say that, 267 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: it won't get stronger, fresher, younger, more vitality. Whatever is 268 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: following the I am you're calling in, pay attention to 269 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: what you're speaking over yourself. Do you want what you're inviting? 270 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: David said in so On one thirty nine. God, I 271 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: praise you because you have made me in an amazing 272 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: What you have done is wonderful. Notice David's i ams. 273 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: He was saying, not in arrogance, but in praise to God. 274 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: I am amazing, I am wonderful. I am a masterpiece. 275 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: Most of us think just the opposite. Nothing amazing about me, 276 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: nothing wonderful. I got these flaws. I'm impatient. I don't 277 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: have a very good personality. We're speaking against who we 278 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: really are. We're using the name of God the I 279 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: am to devalue ourselves, to push down the greatness He's 280 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: put in us. Have you ever said I am amazing, 281 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: I am beautiful, I am talented, I am successful. I 282 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: know people that say that to others. They have no 283 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: problem complimenting their friends. You look amazing today. That was 284 00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: an incredible presentation. You did outstanding. You played all in 285 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: your game. They speak the blessing over others, but they 286 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: never do it to themselves. And it's good for people 287 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: to tell you you're great, You're kind, talented, beautiful, But 288 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: there's a whole other level of impact when it comes 289 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: out of your mouth. Your I am is one of 290 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: the most powerful tools to reach your destiny. When was 291 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: the last time you said I am amazing. You're not 292 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,719 Speaker 1: bragging on you, You're bragging on what God has done. I 293 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: don't mean out in public, go around announcing I'm talking 294 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: about in private, in your quiet time. You need to 295 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 1: be able to say Lord, thank you that I am amazing. 296 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am attractive, I 297 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: am strong, I am talented, I am disciplined, I am powerful, 298 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: I am favored. I am victorious. Because you're in agreement 299 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: with God, the power of his name is backing you up. 300 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: The God who told Moses, tell the people, I AM 301 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: sent you. When he hears you declaring what he promised 302 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: in the unseen realm, things are said into motion. God 303 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: begins to bring about what he says about you. In 304 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: the scripture, God told Jeremiah that he knew him before 305 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: he was formed in his mother's womb, and that he 306 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: was going to become a great prophet, that he would 307 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: speak to nations and make a great difference with his life. 308 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: But Jeremiah was young. He didn't have the training, and 309 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: no one in his family had done anything significant. He 310 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: said in verse six, Oh, Sovereign God, I do not 311 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: know how to speak. I am too young. Notice his 312 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: I ams. I am not able. I am at a disadvantage. 313 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: I am too young. God could have said, no, Jeremiah, 314 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: you can do this. I'm going to help you take 315 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: this step. He could have just encouraged him and tried 316 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: to talk him into it. But God knows the power 317 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: of the I am. He knows if we're speaking against ourselves, 318 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 1: it will keep us from rising higher. God answered him 319 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: back and said, Jeremiah, say not that you're too young. 320 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,479 Speaker 1: God was saying, in effect, don't put that negative I 321 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: am with my name. That's not who I called you 322 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: to be. I didn't say you're too young, not able, afraid. 323 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: I said you will speak to nations like Jeremiah. God 324 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: not only knew you before you were formed in the wound, 325 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: but he's already called you to accomplish your assignment, to 326 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: go further than you think possible, to overcome obstacles that 327 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: look too big. When he called you, he put in 328 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: you everything you need to fulfill your destiny. There will 329 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: be these times where you don't feel qualified, you don't 330 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: have the experience, you don't come from an influential family. 331 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: All these circumstances seem like you should shrink back, stay 332 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: where it's comfortable. But God is going to call out 333 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: of you things you didn't know were in you. He's 334 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: going to take you further than others in your family 335 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: have gone. If you're going to see these new levels, 336 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: you have to have the right I ams. You'll be 337 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: tempted to make excuses, devalue yourself, come up with the 338 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: reasons it's not possible. That's judging your future based on 339 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: what's happened in the past. But God is about to 340 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: do a new thing, something that you've never seen He's 341 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: about to show out in your life in an uncommon way. Now, 342 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: don't let negative ims hold you back by faith. You 343 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: have to declare who God says you are. God. If 344 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: you say I'm a giant killer, then I'm going to 345 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: get in agreement and say what you say, I am 346 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: a giant killer God. If you say I'm a prophet 347 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: to speak to the nations, I'm not gonna use my 348 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: I am to tell you I am too young. My 349 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: new I am is, I am well able, I am equipped, 350 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: I am anointed for this assignment. Don't tell God all 351 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,719 Speaker 1: the reasons you can't do it. I am addicted, i 352 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: am brogue, I am limited. I'm too young, too old, 353 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: too short, too tall, all these negative i ams. God 354 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: is saying to us what he said to him. Say not, 355 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: you can't do it. Zip up that negative that's gonna 356 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 1: keep you from your destiny. God would not have called 357 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,479 Speaker 1: you to do it if you were not well able. 358 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: Verse nine says the Lord reached out and touched Jeremiah's 359 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: mouth and said, I have put my words in you. 360 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: God could have reached out and touched his heart, touched 361 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: his head, but God touched his mouth. He was saying, 362 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: from now on, you're gonna speak my words. What's held 363 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: many people back are these negative i ams. They've been 364 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: speaking against themselves their whole life, devaluing who they are. 365 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: It's pushed down their gifts, kept them from dreams, limited relationships. 366 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: Often we don't realize we're doing it. It's how we 367 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: were raised. We've always been against ourselves. I believe today 368 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: like God did for Jeremiah, He's touching your mouth. He's 369 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: going to help you stop cursing your future. You're going 370 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: to feel a power of strength to not speak defeat 371 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: over your life. When you start to the spirit of 372 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: God is going to rise up and remind you to 373 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: zip it up. Say not that you're too young, Say 374 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: not that you're not qualified. Say not you missed your chance, 375 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: Say not that you'll live addicted. What God has spoken 376 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: over you will override what the enemy has told you. 377 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: No force of darkness can stop what God has purposed 378 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,479 Speaker 1: for you. Now do your part and use that I 379 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: am to declare what God says about you. This is 380 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: what Jeremiah did. He changes I am from I am 381 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: too young to I am victorious. I am an overcomer, 382 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: I am empowered God touched his mouth, said in verse eighteen, Jeremiah, 383 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: I have made you like a strong, fortified city. You 384 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: will stand up against any opposition. They will fight you, 385 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: but they will fail, for I Am with you. When 386 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: you have the right i ams, the most high God 387 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: will show up. People may come against you, but the 388 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: great i Am is backing you up our negative ims, 389 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: keeping you from your destiny. Have you been speaking against 390 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: your future and maybe don't realize it, using one of 391 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: the names of God to declare defeat, to speak mediocrity. 392 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: This is a new day. God has reached out to 393 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: touch your mouth. He's going to help you speak faith 394 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: filled words. You get the right i ams, you'll be 395 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: amazed at how your self image begins to improve. You 396 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: feel good about who you are. You don't live stuck 397 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: thinking you could never get well. Never break the addiction. 398 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: You know that's only temporary. That God is fighting your battles. 399 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: They came against you, but like Jeremiah, they will fail, 400 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 1: for God is with you. Now, pay attention to what 401 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: follows the i Am. That's what you're inviting into your life. 402 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: No more inviting lack, defeat, struggle.
