00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: tuning in. Thank you again for coming out. And I

14
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: like to start with something funny and I heard about

15
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: this ninety two year old man. He wasn't feeling up

16
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,639
Speaker 2: to par and he went to the doctor for a checkup.

17
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 2: A few days later, the doctor saw him out walking

18
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: in the park. He had this beautiful young lady by

19
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: his side, and he seemed as happy as convened. The

20
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: doctor said, Wow, you sure are feeling a lot better,

21
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: aren't you. He said, yes, doctor, I'm just taking your orders.

22
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: You said get a hot mama and be cheerful. The

23
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: doctor said, I didn't say that. I said you got

24
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: a heart murmur, Be careful, hold up your bible. Say

25
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I

26
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: am what it says I am. I have what it

27
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: says I have. I can do what it says I

28
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God.

29
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 2: I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

30
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

32
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: the power of I Am.

33
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 3: What follows.

34
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: These two simple words will determine what kind of life

35
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: you live. I am blessed, I am strong, I am healthy,

36
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: or I am slow.

37
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: I am unattractive, I am a terrible mother. The i

38
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: ams that are.

39
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: Coming out of your mouth will bring either success or failure.

40
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: And all through the day, the power of I Am

41
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: as at work. We make a mistake. I am so clumsy.

42
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: We look in the mirror. I am so old. We

43
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: see somebody very talented. I am so average. We get

44
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: caught in traffic. I am so unlucky. Many times we

45
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: use the power of IM against us. We don't realize

46
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 2: how it's affecting our future. Here's the principle. What follows.

47
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: The IM will always come looking for you. When you

48
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 2: say I am so clumsy. Clumsiness comes looking for you,

49
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: I am so old. Wrinkles come looking for you, I

50
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: am so overweighted. Calories come looking for you. It's just

51
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: like you're inviting them. Whatever you follow the IM with,

52
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: you're handing it an invitation, opening the door, giving it

53
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: permission to be in your life. Now, the good news

54
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: is you get to choose what follows the IM. When

55
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: you go through the days saying I am blessed, blessings

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: come looking for you, I am talented.

57
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: Talent comes looking for you.

58
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: You may not feel up to par, but when you

59
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: say I am healthy, health starts hitting your way. I

60
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: am strong, strength starts tracking you down. You're inviting that

61
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: into your life. That's why you have to be careful

62
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: what follows the I am. Don't ever say I am

63
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 2: so unlucky, I never get any good breaks. You're inviting disappointments.

64
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: I am so broke, I am so in debt. You

65
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: are inviting struggle, You're inviting lack. You need to send

66
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: out some new invitations. Get up in the morning and

67
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: invite good things into your life. I am blessed, I

68
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: am strong, I am talented, I am disciplined, I am focused,

69
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: I am prosperous. When you talk like that, talent get

70
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: summoned by Almighty God.

71
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: Go find that person.

72
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: Health, strength, abundance, discipline starts heading your way. But how

73
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: many people, when they wake up in the morning look

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: in the mirror The first thing they say, I am

75
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: so old, I am so wrinkled, I am so worn out.

76
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: You are inviting oldness, You're inviting fatigue. Do us all

77
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: a favor. Stop inviting that. When you get up in

78
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: the morning, look in the mirror. Instead of complaining, you

79
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: should be saying, I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I

80
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: am attractive, I am getting younger. You talk like that,

81
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: and God will renew your youth. I know people, the

82
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: older they get, the more attractive they are.

83
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: A lot has to do with our attitude.

84
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: The other day, our daughter Alexandra had a copy of

85
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: my first book from two thousand and four, and she

86
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 2: was comparing the picture to my new book.

87
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: That was just released.

88
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 2: She said, Daddy, you look better now than you did

89
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 2: back then.

90
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: I said, what would you like me to buy you?

91
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: I mean. I was with my college roommate last week.

92
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: He said, Joel, what are you doing. You're getting taller,

93
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: you're growing.

94
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: I said, I receive that.

95
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: And I didn't want to tell him that he's getting shorter.

96
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 2: But when you go around saying I am being renewed

97
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 2: in my youth, I am full of health, vitality, wholeness,

98
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: that's one of the best anti aging treatments you could

99
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: ever take. My mother is a great example of this.

100
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: I mentioned how she just turned seventy eight. She still

101
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: looks fantastic. She's still strong, still energetic, still beautiful. But

102
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 2: when you get up in the morning, don't talk about

103
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: how old you are, how bad you look. Dare to

104
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: say I am young, I am energetic, I am vibrant,

105
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: I am radiant, I am fresh.

106
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: Some of you women have never once said I am beautiful.

107
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: You're so focused on your flaws and what you don't

108
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: like about yourself and how you wish you had more

109
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: here and less there. And I'm not pointing, but you

110
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 2: know where I mean when you say I am beautiful.

111
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: Beauty comes looking for you, youth comes looking for you,

112
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: Freshness comes looking for you. Nobody can do this for you.

113
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: It's got to come out of your own mouth. Listen, ladies,

114
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: don't go around telling your husbands how unattractive you are.

115
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: You should never put yourself down, and especially don't put

116
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 2: yourself down in front of your own husband.

117
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 3: You are his prize.

118
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 2: To him, you're the most beautiful woman in the world. Well,

119
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: why would you want to tell him anything differently? The

120
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 2: last thing he needs to hear is how bad you.

121
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: Think you look.

122
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: Don't put those thoughts in his mind. It's not going

123
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: to do him nor you any good to discredit yourself

124
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: if you keep telling him how bad you look, one

125
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: day he may believe you. But when you say I

126
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: am beautiful, not only does beauty youth freshness starts coming

127
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 2: your way, but on the inside, your spirit person comes alive.

128
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: Your self image begins to improve, and you'll start carrying

129
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: yourself like you're someone special you want drag through the

130
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: day feeling less than inferior. You'll have that spring in

131
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: your step that you go girl attitude. Beauty is not

132
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: in how thin or tall you are, how perfect you look.

133
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: Beauty is in being who God made you to be

134
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: with confidence. If you're a size four, great, If you're

135
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: a size twenty four, great, take what you have and

136
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: make the most of it. God made you like you

137
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: are on purpose. He gave you your looks, your height,

138
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: your skin color, your nose, your personality. Nothing about you

139
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: is by accident. You didn't get overlooked, you didn't get

140
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: left out. God said in Ephesians, you are my masterpiece.

141
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: Instead of going around down on yourself, feeling unattried, too tall,

142
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: too short, not enough of this, too much of that. No,

143
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: dare to get up in the morning and say, I

144
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: am a masterpiece.

145
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: I am created in the image of almighty God.

146
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: David said in Psalm one thirty nine, God, I praise

147
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: you because you have made me in an amazing way.

148
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,679
Speaker 2: What you have done is wonderful. Notice David's i ams.

149
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: He was saying, not in pride, but in praise to God.

150
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: I am wonderful, I am amazing. I am a masterpiece

151
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: that goes against human nature. Most of us think there's

152
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: nothing amazing about me, nothing wonderful.

153
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: I'm just average, I'm just ordinary.

154
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: No, the fact is there is nothing ordinary about you.

155
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: You have a fingerprint that nobody else has. There will

156
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: never be another you. Even if you have a twin

157
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: somebody that looks exactly like you, they don't have your

158
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: same personality, your same goals, your same fingerprints. You are

159
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: an original. When God made you, he threw away the mold.

160
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 2: But as long as you go around thinking I'm just average, Joel,

161
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 2: I'm just one of the billions of people on the earth.

162
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: Nothing special about me. The wrong I am can keep

163
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: you from rising higher. I wonder what would happen if,

164
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: all through the day, not in front of other people,

165
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: but in privacy, in the shower, driving to work underneath

166
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: our breath, instead of being down on ourselves and discrediting

167
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 2: who we are and focusing on all.

168
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: Of our flaws.

169
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: What would happen if we would be bold like David

170
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: to say, I am amazing, I am wonderful, I am valuable,

171
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: I am a masterpiece. I am a child of the

172
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: most high God. You talk like that, and amazing comes

173
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: chasing you down, Awesome starts heading in your direction. You

174
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: won't have that we defeated I'm just average mentality. No,

175
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: you'll carry yourself like a king, like a queen, not

176
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: in pride, not being better than somebody, but with a

177
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: quiet confidence, with a knowing that you've been handpicked by

178
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: the creator of the universe and you have something amazing

179
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: to offer this world. That's what happened to a lady

180
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: in the scripture named Sarah. She had to change her

181
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: I am. God promised Sarah and her husband Abraham that

182
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: they would have a baby. But Sarah was eighty years old,

183
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: way past the child bearing years, and back in those days,

184
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: if a wife didn't give her husband a child she

185
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: couldn't conceive for some reason, even if it was the husband's.

186
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 3: Fault, the wife was.

187
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 2: Seen as a failure. She was looked down on greatly.

188
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: There was a sense of shame for not being able

189
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: to have a baby. And this is how Sarah felt.

190
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 2: She was eighty years old, never had a baby. She

191
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: felt like she had let Abraham down. Her self esteem

192
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: is so low. I can imagine some of her i ams.

193
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 2: I am a failure, I am inferior, I am not

194
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 2: good enough, I am unattractive. Now she's got this promise

195
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: that as an older woman she's going to have a baby,

196
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: and God knew that it would never come to pass

197
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 2: unless he could convince Sarah to change her ims. It

198
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: was so imperative that she had this new mindset. God

199
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: actually changed her name from Sarah to Sarah. Sarah means princess.

200
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: Now every time someone said good morning Sarah.

201
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: They were saying, good morning, princess. How are you, Sarah?

202
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 3: How are your princes? Would you pass me the ketch up? Sarah?

203
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: Would you pass me the ketchup? Princess?

204
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 2: She heard this over and over and those words got

205
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 2: on the inside and begin to change her self image.

206
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: She went from I am a failure to I am

207
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: a princess. From I am unattractive to I am beautiful,

208
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: from I am ashamed to I Am crowned by Almighty God.

209
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: Instead of hanging her head in defeat in embarrassment, she

210
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: started holding her head up high. From I'm not good

211
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: enough to I am a child of the Most High God,

212
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: to I'm inferior to I am fearfully.

213
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 3: And wonderfully made.

214
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,479
Speaker 2: Her new attitude was I am amazing, I am wonderful,

215
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: I am a masterpiece. And Ladies, like Sarah, you may

216
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: have had a lot of things in life try.

217
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 3: To push you down.

218
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: Bad breaks, disappointments, maybe even people have tried to make

219
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: you feel like you just don't measure up, You're not

220
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 2: quite attractive enough. You could easily let that seed get

221
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: on the inside and ruin your sense of value, cause

222
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: you to live inferior. But God is saying to you

223
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: what he said to Sarah, I want you to change

224
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: your name to princess, not physically, but in your attitude.

225
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: You got to shake off the negative things people have

226
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: said about you, shake off the low self esteem, the inferiority,

227
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: and start carrying yourself like a princess. Start walking like

228
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: a princess, Start talking like a princess, Start thinking like

229
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: a princess. Start waving like a princess. Instead of I

230
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: am inferior, I am less than no I am one

231
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: of a kind. I am handpicked by Almighty God. I

232
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: am valuable. I am a masterpiece. When you get up

233
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: in the morning, don't focus on all your flaws. Look

234
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: in the mirror and dare to say I am beautiful,

235
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: I am young, I am vibrant, I am confident, I

236
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: am secure. You may have had some disappointments, people may

237
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: have tried to push you down, but quit telling yourself

238
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 2: you're all washed up. Do like Sarah and say I

239
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: am royalty, I am crowned with favor, I am excited

240
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: about my future. This princess spirit got on the inside

241
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: of Sarah. It changed her self image. Now I've learned,

242
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: you've got to change on the inside before you'll see

243
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: change on the outside. At one hundred years old, against

244
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: all odds, she gave birth to that baby.

245
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: The promise came to pass.

246
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: My question today is what kind of i ams are

247
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: coming out of your mouth. I am victorious, I am blessed,

248
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: I am talented, I am anointed. When you have the

249
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: right i ams, you're inviting the goodness of God some

250
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 2: of you. If you would just changed the I am,

251
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: you would go to a new level.

252
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: Words have creative power.

253
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: With your words, you can bless your future or you

254
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: can curse your future. Words are like electricity. Use the

255
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: right way, they can be very helpful. It can give

256
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: us lights and air conditioning, all kinds of good things.

257
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: But electricity used the wrong way can be very dangerous.

258
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: It can harm you. It could even kill you.

259
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 3: Same way with our words.

260
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: Proverbs says life and death are in the power of

261
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: our tongue. It's up to you to choose what follows

262
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: the I am. My encouragement is never say negative things

263
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: about yourself. Most of us would never go up to

264
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: another person, at least to their face and criticize them,

265
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: Yet we have no problem criticizing ourselves. I am so slow,

266
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: I am so unattractive. I am so undisciplined. That is

267
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: cursing your future. Do yourself a favor and zip that up.

268
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: We have enough in life against us already. Don't be

269
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: against yourself. I had a friend and I used to

270
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: play basketball with and when he would miss an important shot,

271
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: he would.

272
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: Say, I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot.

273
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: Three or four times I heard that month after month.

274
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: He didn't realize it, but idiot was coming looking for him.

275
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: I hate to say it, but I think it found him.

276
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: If you go around saying I am so dumb, it

277
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: may not be good English, but dumbness is coming your way.

278
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: I am so unattractive, I am so plain. Ugliness says

279
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: I hear somebody calling my name. Use your words to

280
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: bless your future, not curse your future. The scripture says.

281
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: Let the weak say I am strong. No, it's just

282
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 2: the opposite. Not I am so tired, I am so

283
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: run down. That's calling in the wrong things. Let the

284
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: poor say I am well off.

285
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 3: Not I am broke. I am so in death.

286
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: Let the six say I am healthy, I am improving,

287
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 2: I am getting better and better. See it says in

288
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: Romans four eighteen. To call the things that are not

289
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: as if they already were. That simply means don't talk

290
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: about the way you are, talk about the way you

291
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: want to be. If you're struggling in your finance, it,

292
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: don't go around saying, oh, man, business is so slow,

293
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: the economy is so down, it's never going to work out.

294
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: That's calling the things that are as if they will

295
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 2: always be that way.

296
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 3: That's just describing this situation by faith.

297
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 2: You've got to say, I am blessed, i am successful,

298
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 2: i am surrounded by God's favor. I asked a young

299
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 2: man after church last week how he was.

300
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: Doing in high school.

301
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: He said, oh, Joel, I'm doing okay.

302
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 3: I'm just a SEA student.

303
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: Come to find out, one of his teachers back in

304
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 2: elementary school years ago told him he was a C student,

305
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: and he let that seed take root. I told him

306
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 2: what I'm telling you. As long as you're saying I

307
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: am a C student, you're not going to make a's.

308
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 2: You're calling in the c's, and those c's will come

309
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: find you wherever you go. If you're not careful, you'll

310
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,239
Speaker 2: make a C in homeroom, a C in lunch, a

311
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: C inpe change the I am. I am an a student,

312
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: I am smart, I am full of wisdom.

313
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: I am a good learner.

314
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: Some of you, like this young man, you've allowed what

315
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: somebody said.

316
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 3: About you to hold you back.

317
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: A coach, a teacher, a parent, an ex spouse. They

318
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: planted these negative seeds of what you cannot do. You're

319
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: not smart enough, you're not talented enough. You're not disciplined enough.

320
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 2: You're not attractive enough. You'll always make c's, you'll always

321
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: be mediocre, you'll always struggle with your weight.

322
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 3: Don't get rid of those lives. That is not who

323
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 3: you are. You are who God says you are.

324
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 2: People may have tried to push you down and tell

325
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: you what you can't become. Let that go in one

326
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: ear and out the other ear. What somebody said about

327
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: you doesn't determine your destiny.

328
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 3: God does.

329
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: You need to know not only what you are, but

330
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 2: you need to know what you are not. In other words,

331
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 2: I am not who people say I am. I am

332
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: who God says I am. I am not to tell

333
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 2: I am the head. I am not a borrower, I

334
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: am a lender. I am not cursed. I am blessed.

335
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: Like this young man, somebody.

336
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 2: May have spoken negative words over you even when you

337
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 2: were younger. But know this, before anyone could put a

338
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 2: curse on you, God put a blessing on you. Before

339
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 2: you were formed in your mother's womb. God knew you

340
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: and he approved you. When God made you, he stepped back.

341
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 3: And said, I like that. That was good. Another masterpiece.

342
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: He stamped his approval on you.

343
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 2: Other people may try to disapprove you around feeling less

344
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 2: than feeling inferior. Our attitude should be I am approved

345
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: by Almighty.

346
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 3: God, I am accepted. I am a masterpiece.

347
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 2: When you talk like that, the seeds of greatness God's

348
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 2: placed on the inside will begin to spring forth. See,

349
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: you have gifts and talents that you've not yet tapped into.

350
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: There is a treasure on the inside. Throughout life.

351
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 3: The enemy will do his best to try to keep

352
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 3: it pushed down. He doesn't want us.

353
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: To reach our full potential.

354
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 2: That's why there are forces constantly trying to make us

355
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: feel intimidated, inferior, unqualified. If you're going to fulfill your destiny,

356
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: you've got to shake off the negative voices, shake off

357
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: the thoughts that are telling you I am unable, I

358
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: am unqualified. No, don't invite weakness in. Don't give intimidation

359
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: an invitation. You may feel unqualified, but before you were born,

360
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: God equipped you, He empowered you. You are not lacking anything.

361
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: God has already stamped his approval on you. People may

362
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 2: try to push you down, but when you know God

363
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: has approved you, you realize I don't need.

364
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: Other people's approval.

365
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: I've been equipped, empowered, anointed by the creator of the universe.

366
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: I know a man he was told by his high

367
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 2: school counselor that he wasn't very smart. He should focus

368
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: on the lowest skilled job that he could find. And

369
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 2: I'm sure the counselor meant well, but he didn't know

370
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 2: what was on the inside. He didn't see the seeds

371
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: of greatness God had planted in this young man. As

372
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: a high school student, his im was distorted. I am

373
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 2: not up to par I am not smart, I am

374
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: very averaging. He didn't realize he was inviting that into

375
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 2: his life, and sure enough it showed up. After high school,

376
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 2: he got a job at the local factory, and he

377
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: stayed at the lowest.

378
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: Level year after year after year.

379
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: One day the factory closed down and he went across

380
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: town and applied at another factory. This company had a

381
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: policy that you had to take an IQ test. He

382
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 2: took the test, and he scored the highest in the

383
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: company's sixty three year history. His IQ came back at

384
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 2: a genius level. He went on to start his own business,

385
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 2: and he invented and patented two very successful products. Today

386
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 2: he's extremely blessed what happened. He changed his IM. Could

387
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 2: it be what someone has told you is keeping you

388
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: from God's best? Could it be that the wrong IM

389
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: is keeping you from rising higher and reaching your full potential?

390
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 2: Do like he did, change the IM. Don't let what

391
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 2: somebody has spoken over you determine your destiny. Get in

392
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 2: agreement with God. Know what you are, and know you

393
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: are not. I am not lacking. I am not average.

394
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 2: I am not inferior. I am equipped, I am empowered,

395
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 2: I am anointed, I am wise. I am a masterpiece

396
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 2: in the book of numbers. Moses sent twelve men in

397
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 2: to spy out the Promised Land. After forty days, ten

398
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: of them came back and said, Moses, we don't have

399
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: a chance.

400
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 3: The people are huge. Compared to them. We felt like

401
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 3: we were grasshoppers. Notice their I ams.

402
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 2: I am weak, I am inferior. I am intimidated, I

403
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 2: am afraid.

404
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: What happened?

405
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 2: Fear intimidation inferiority came.

406
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: Knocking at the door.

407
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 2: The other two spies, Joshua and Caleb, came back with

408
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: a different report. They said, Moses, yes, the people are big,

409
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: but we know our God is much bigger.

410
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 3: We are well able.

411
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: Let us go in and take the land at once.

412
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 2: Notice there I am was.

413
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: Just the opposite.

414
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 2: I am strong, I am equipped, I am confident. I

415
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: am more than a conquer What's interesting is the negative

416
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 2: report from the ten spies spread like wildfire throughout the

417
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: rest of the camp. Before long, some two million people

418
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: were intimidated and afraid. Nobody even paid attention to Joshua

419
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 2: and Caleb the report of faith.

420
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 3: Here's what I've learned.

421
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 2: A negative report always spreads faster than a positive report.

422
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 3: And when people are.

423
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: Murmuring, complaining, talking defeat, be on guard. Make sure you

424
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 2: don't let the wrong I am take root. These ten

425
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 2: spies went on to say, Moses, why did you even

426
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: bring us out here. We're going to die in the wilderness.

427
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: Our children, our wives, they're going to be taken as plunder.

428
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 2: God answered back, something very powerful he said in numbers

429
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: fourteen twenty eight, I will do for you exactly what

430
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: you have said. You said you're going to die in

431
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: the will, so you will die in the wilderness. God

432
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: saying the same thing to us, I'm going to do

433
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 2: exactly what you've been saying. Don't ever say I'm weak,

434
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: I'm intimidated, I'm inferior. Friends, the wrong I am can

435
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: keep you from your destiny. In the scripture, have you

436
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 2: ever heard of a man named Sether, a man named Gaddy,

437
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: a man named Shafith.

438
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 3: Never heard of them? You know why?

439
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: They were some of the ten Spives. They were some

440
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: of the ones that never made it into the Promised Land.

441
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 2: The fact is they were called to be a history maker.

442
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: They had seeds of greatness on the inside, but the

443
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: wrong i Am kept them from really making their mark.

444
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: Don't let that be you.

445
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 2: You may be facing some major obstacles. My challenge is

446
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 2: be a Joshua, be a Caleb. I am strong, I

447
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 2: am confident, I am equipped, I am more than a

448
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: conquer I am well able.

449
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 3: Make sure you have the right eye coming out of

450
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 3: your mouth.

451
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: Joshua and Caleb were the only two from that whole

452
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 2: group to ever make it into the Promised Land. It

453
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: would do us all good to make a list of

454
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 2: a dozen or two of these i ams and read

455
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 2: over them all through the day. Get them down in

456
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 2: your spirit, meditate on them. They may not all be

457
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: true right now, but you have to call the things

458
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: that are not as if they already were. I am blessed,

459
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 2: I am prosperous, I am free, I am talented, I

460
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: am young, I am beautiful, I am attractive.

461
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 3: Remember what follows. The im is going to come looking

462
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 3: for you.

463
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 2: If you will invite the right things into your life,

464
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 2: the creator of the.

465
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: Universe will breathe in your direction.

466
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 2: Now I believe and declare you will overcome every obstacle,

467
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: defeat every enemy, and you will become everything that God's

468
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: created you to be.

469
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,359
