00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 4: I just want to remind you that you are extraordinary.

41
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 4: Nobody wants to be ordinary today. We all want to

42
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: be extraordinary. We want to live an extraordinary life. And

43
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 4: I believe that's what Jesus said. He said, I want

44
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: to come to give you a life and a life

45
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 4: of abundance. See he came so that we could live

46
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: an abundant life, an extraordinary life, an exceptional life. God

47
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 4: doesn't want us to live average, mediocre. He doesn't want

48
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 4: us to be ordinary in our thinking. He wants us

49
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 4: to be extraordinary in our thinking. He wants us to

50
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: expect more, to go for more, to strive for more,

51
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: to be the very best that we can be. Do

52
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 4: you know when you're the very best you can be today,

53
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 4: your tomorrow will be better. See when you prepare for today, hey,

54
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 4: you'll be ready for the opportunities tomorrow. When preparation meets opportunity,

55
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: it's called success. So I want to encourage all of

56
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: us to not have just this ordinary mindset, but have

57
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 4: an extraordinary mindset. Expect to be full of joy, abundance, creativity, blessing.

58
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 4: You know, Joel was just saying to us earlier, and

59
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 4: I think it's something that we need to hear when

60
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 4: we come to the House of the Lord, and we

61
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 4: need to express to ourself that we're a masterpiece. We

62
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 4: didn't just come off of an assembly line. We're an original.

63
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 4: We have callings and giftings that are matchless. See, only

64
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 4: you can do what God's called you to do. Only

65
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 4: you were created to be you. You weren't created to

66
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: be anyone else. You weren't created to coffee anyone else.

67
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: You were designed uniquely you. So get this down in

68
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 4: your heart, get this down in your spirit today and say,

69
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 4: I'm tired of living ordinary. I'm tired of living just mundane.

70
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 4: I'm going to start having this extraordinary mindset. You say,

71
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: but Victoria, my life is just routine.

72
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: You know what.

73
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: All of our lives are routine. Most of life is

74
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 4: doing the same thing over and over again. We get

75
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 4: up in the morning, we go to work, we do

76
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 4: our jobs. We come home, we wash the dishes, we

77
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 4: take care of the kids, we cook the dinner, we

78
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 4: mow the lawn, we pay the bills. Most of our

79
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 4: day is routine. We go to bed, get up in

80
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 4: the morning, and do it all over again. But it

81
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 4: is our job to not get sucked into that routine,

82
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 4: but to cause our life to produce extraordinary in the routine.

83
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 4: You see, you were designed to produce extraordinary in the

84
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 4: routines of life. Think about this just a minute. Anything

85
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 4: they you do well, you have to do often, and

86
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 4: it is called routine. So we have to know that

87
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 4: when we're in the routine, we're in the difficulties, we're

88
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: in the challenges, all the things that we all face,

89
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 4: that there's extraordinary being produced because I believe when we

90
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 4: understand that we're not average, and our challenges weren't here

91
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: to make us suffer. They're here to bring something out

92
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 4: of us. Our difficulties are here to bring something out

93
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 4: of us. Our routine is here to bring something out

94
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: of us. I think about all the years that I've

95
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 4: loved my family. My children were born, I took care

96
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: of them. I chased their diapers, I fed them, I

97
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 4: gave them a bath, I taught them. I did everything

98
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 4: I knew to do, day after day after day. I've

99
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 4: tried to be a good helpmate to my husband. I

100
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 4: make sure he gets what he likes. I cook him dinner,

101
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 4: I tell him what to do, I give in vitamins.

102
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 4: I do very best, even when they don't appreciate it

103
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: day in and day out. But can I tell you,

104
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 4: even when they don't appreciate it, and even when it's difficult,

105
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 4: do you know what the routine has done for me?

106
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 4: It's given me extraordinary? It is my extraordinary? What is

107
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 4: your extraordinary? I can see my life because I was

108
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: routine and faithful with what God gave me. I now

109
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 4: have extraordinary in my life. I think about challenges and

110
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 4: difficulties I faced. Many times I think I just want

111
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 4: to quit. Is this even worth it? Is it even matter?

112
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 4: But I have learned when I've pressed through day after

113
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 4: day those challenges, day after day, it produced extraordinary lessons

114
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 4: in my life. Listen, when you are faithful with what

115
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: God has placed in your hand, and you don't allow

116
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 4: it to become mundane and ordinary and give it just

117
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 4: half of what you could give it, you know what

118
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 4: you're doing. You're creating extraordinary. You're creating something to talk

119
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 4: about tomorrow. You see, sometimes it's not always easy to

120
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 4: talk about it, but if you'll stick with it, you'll

121
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 4: have something to talk about. You'll have something to be

122
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 4: proud of. So even in the difficult times, I want

123
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: to encourage you to stay faithful. God is preparing you.

124
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 4: You are passing the tests. He wants to give you

125
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 4: greater opportunity, greater life, a greater a destiny. So we

126
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 4: want to just live with purpose because I know how

127
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 4: it feels. I'm preaching to myself today. I have to

128
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 4: get up in the morning and I have to say

129
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: today is a good day. I've got good things in

130
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: front of me. You know what you say to yourself,

131
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 4: the moment you get up is gonna set the tone

132
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: for your life. You gotta get this down in your heart,

133
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: even when it's difficult, no matter what's going on on

134
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 4: the other side of that difficulty is extraordinary. You can

135
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 4: all say with me today, I have seen the extraordinary.

136
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 4: You're right, it was worth putting my effort into even

137
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: when I didn't see where the routine was taking me.

138
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: I now see this extraordinary job I have. I now

139
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: see this extraordinary family I have. I now see an

140
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 4: extraordinary ministry that I have. You see, you may not

141
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 4: see where it's taking you all the time, but it

142
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 4: will lead you to extraordinary. When Joel's father was pastor

143
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 4: of Lakewood Church in his latter years, I would come

144
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 4: and get him and take him to church. I'll remember

145
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 4: one time we were in the bag getting ready for church,

146
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 4: and he had a woman who did his hair and

147
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 4: his makeup for television because we would broadcast the Sunday services.

148
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 4: And when I was back there one morning, this young

149
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 4: lady that did his hair looked at him. He said,

150
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 4: Pastor Ostin, I have to tell you some news she said,

151
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 4: my husband is being transferred to another state for his job,

152
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 4: and she said, this is going to be the last

153
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 4: time that I'm going to be able to do your

154
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 4: hair and makeup. She said, I'm so sorry this came

155
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 4: so quickly, but this is one of those things where

156
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 4: I just have to go. And I remember him just

157
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 4: kind of sitting there. He was looking at her, and

158
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 4: I could just see a thousand things going on in

159
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 4: his head, and he didn't know what to say. So

160
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: he looked at me and he said, well, Victoria, he said,

161
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 4: can you do my hair for TV on Sundays? I thought,

162
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 4: I don't have a cosmetology license, I'm not trained in this.

163
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 4: Then the next thing I know, they're both looking at me.

164
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 4: So I quickly just said, sure, I'll do it if

165
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 4: you trust me. Well, little did they know. I had

166
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 4: a little experience when I was in junior high school.

167
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 4: I used to cut some of my friend's hair and

168
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 4: attempt at highlighting. But that day I was given a promotion.

169
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 4: I was now the hair solace for John Osting Layfood

170
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 4: TV television productions. My family, a lot of my mother's

171
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 4: side of the family lives in Georgia and they were

172
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 4: preparing a family reunion, and they had made plans, got

173
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 4: in hotels, got in locations. They'd put a lot of

174
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 4: work into it. And they called me up and they

175
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: gave me the date and they said, listen, we're gonna

176
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 4: have the best family reunion. You got to be there.

177
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 4: This is the date. So I checked the date and

178
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 4: it fell on a weekend, and I said, look, guys,

179
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 4: I can't come on the weekend. I have to do

180
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: my father in lost hair. And they were like so disappointed.

181
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 4: They were like, what, you can't come and we've done

182
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 4: all this planning, And I said, no, I'm committed. We

183
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 4: tape on Sunday and I have to pick him up

184
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 4: and I have to bring to the church. I have

185
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 4: to do his hair.

186
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 6: Well.

187
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 4: Later on I got word that they were talking about me.

188
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 4: I found out that they didn't think my job was

189
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: very important. And they said, I can't believe that's all

190
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 4: she does in the ministry. I think she should be

191
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 4: doing more. You know, they weren't trying to be mean.

192
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 4: They just thought my job description should be different. Well,

193
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 4: you know what. That hurt my feelings and I got

194
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 4: to thinking about it, and I got a little discouraged

195
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 4: about it. But then I made a decision. I thought,

196
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm gonna let that go because deep

197
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 4: down on the inside of me, I hear be faithful

198
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: in the small, be faithful in the small, Just be

199
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 4: faithful in the small. So I let that go, and

200
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: I decided to be the best TV production hair person

201
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 4: there has ever been. So for several years, I'd picked

202
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 4: my father in law up, bring him to the church,

203
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 4: and get him TV ready. I was committed to that job.

204
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 4: I was faithful in routine of all those Sunday mornings,

205
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 4: all those weekends. I didn't realize that I was building

206
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 4: extraordinary into my life. You see, I believe it built

207
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 4: commitment in my life. I believe that it was doing

208
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 4: a work in me. It was causing me to be

209
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 4: able to understand the ministry life, giving me vision. It

210
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 4: was showing me what it took to do this job.

211
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 4: And I believe just through those years of what some

212
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 4: people may not have thought was important, God did think

213
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 4: it was important. It was building extraordinary in me, and

214
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 4: I believe that I can do what I'm doing today.

215
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 4: I can be with my husband and help him push

216
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 4: this ministry forward because of the commitment and the faithfulness

217
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 4: that I showed then. You see, in many ways it

218
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: prepared me. So I want to encourage you today. Don't

219
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 4: let the definition of someone else the success, determine your future. See,

220
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 4: someone might not think what you're doing is very important.

221
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 4: They may look down on it. They may not realize

222
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 4: what God is doing in your life. He is preparing

223
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: you for greater opportunity. You See, because someone doesn't see

224
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 4: what you're doing doesn't mean that God doesn't see what

225
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 4: you're doing. Just because they don't think it's important doesn't

226
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 4: mean God doesn't think it's important. And I'm telling you,

227
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 4: God bless us faithfulness. We have to pass this faithfulness

228
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 4: test if we're going to go on to greater things.

229
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 4: You know, one thing that I realize that really can

230
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 4: reduce this extraordinary life that God's given us down to

231
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 4: ordinary is when we compare ourself. You know, we all

232
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 4: know that social media these days can make your life

233
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 4: feel like it's going nowhere. You look at these vacations,

234
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 4: you look at all the stuff, these people doing their

235
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: highlight reel, and you think, man, my life is just

236
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 4: ordinary routine. I go to work, I come home. I

237
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 4: go to work, I come home. When do they have

238
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 4: time to do all this stuff. Well, little do we

239
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 4: realize it took them twenty nine tries just to get

240
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 4: that picture right, and then after they filtered it, corrected it,

241
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 4: worked through it, then it was perfect. We know this,

242
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 4: don't we We cannot fall into the trap of comparing

243
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 4: ourself because we're originals, we're masterpieces. We're one of a kind.

244
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 4: The assignments that you're called to do are distinct to

245
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 4: your calling. You fit your destiny. No one else can

246
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 4: do what you've been called to do. Don't shrink your

247
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 4: life down to mundane an ordinary. Stir up the gifts

248
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 4: of God within you. What do you have in your

249
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 4: hand that is going to be your extraordinary to? I

250
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 4: encourage you, just like I encourage myself. God is a

251
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 4: faithful God. Give it your all. Be your best every day. Listen,

252
