And I'd like to 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: start with something funny, and someone sent me this funny 12 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: prayer about food goes like this, Lord, grant me the 13 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: strength that I may not fall into the clutches of 14 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: cholesterol at polyunsatyretz. I'll never mutter, for the road to 15 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: Hell is paved with butter. Cake is cursed, cream is awful, 16 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: and Satan is hiding in every waffle. Belzebove is a 17 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: chocolate drop, Lucifer is a lollipop. Teach me the evils 18 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: of fried chicken from the side. Lord, if you love me, 19 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: shut my mouth, say it like you mean a joam. 20 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 22 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be 23 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 24 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 25 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 26 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: to talk to you today about the I am advantage, 27 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: two of the most important words we can ever say, 28 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: or I am. They're just small, ordinary words, and we 29 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: use I and am in different ways all through the day. 30 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: But when you put them together, something powerful happens. Whatever falls, 31 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: the I am will come looking for you. I am blessed, 32 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: Blessings are coming. I am strong. Strength is coming, I 33 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: am healthy. Health is coming. And this is great when 34 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: we use it in the positive and we declare good 35 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: things over our life. The problem is it works in 36 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: the negative as well. I am unattractive. Unattractiveness comes, I 37 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: am lazy. Laziness comes, I am unlucky. Bad breaks come. 38 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: Whatever you put after the I am, you're inviting into 39 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: your life. Just imagine you're sending it an invitation. I 40 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: am talented. You just invited talent to come. I am disciplined, 41 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: I am focused. I am a masterpiece. You're inviting things 42 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: that are making you better and moving you towards your destiny. 43 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: But how many times are we inviting things we don't want? Joel, 44 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm just ordinary. You're inviting ordinary. I am poor, I 45 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: am broke, I am so in debt. You're inviting lack 46 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: struggle and not enough or I am I am tired, 47 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: I am lonely. You're inviting the very things you're trying 48 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: to get rid of. Pay attention to what you're sending 49 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: invitations to. The good news is you get to choose 50 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: what follows the I am no more, I am limited, 51 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: I am out of shave, I am at a disadvantage. 52 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: Do yourself a favor. Cancel those invitations. Quit sending out 53 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: what you don't want. Well, Joel, I'm just telling it 54 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: like it is. It's the truth. I am sick, I 55 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: am broke, I am undisciplined. The scripture says, let the 56 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: weak say I am strong. God didn't say let the 57 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: weak say I am weak. Let the insecure say I 58 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: am not enough. God says, use the I am to 59 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: declare who I say you are. The circumstances may say 60 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: you're sick. The medical report doesn't look good. But don't 61 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: go around saying I am unhealthy, I am going down, 62 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: I am so worried. You're prophesying your future change what 63 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: follows the I am? How about I am healthy, I 64 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: am strong, I am an overcomer, I am armed with 65 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: strength for this battle. You declare that, and healing starts coming, strength, vitality. 66 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: Instead of I am limited, I'm at a disadvantage, I 67 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: am not up to par Turn that around. I am equipped, 68 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: I am empowered, I am anointed, I am well able. 69 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: Look at what you're inviting, power, favor, anointing the goodness 70 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: of God. The scripture says, with our words, we can 71 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: bless ourselves or we can curse ourselves. Sometimes it's not 72 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: the enemy holding us back. We're holding ourselves back. We're 73 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: using these negative ims and we may not even realize it. 74 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: Pay attention to what follows the im. What are you 75 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: saying about yourselves? One reason that I AM is so 76 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: powerful is this one of the names of God. Moses 77 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: had been hiding in the desert because of a mistake 78 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: he had made. He had to flee from the Egyptians. 79 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: After forty years, God came to him in a burning 80 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: bush and told him to go deliver the Israelites from slavery. 81 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: That's what he was originally called to do. He thought 82 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: he had missed his purpose. He told God how the 83 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: Phabah wouldn't listen to him, and how the Israelites wouldn't 84 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: follow his leadership. He had all these excuses. He finally said, God, 85 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: if I go, the Israelites are going to ask me 86 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: who sent me? What should I tell them? Your name is? 87 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,679 Speaker 1: God said you tell them, my name is I Am. 88 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: He could have said, my name is Jehovah, my name 89 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: is Yahweh, my name is the most High. But out 90 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: of all the names he could have chosen, he simply said, 91 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: tell them I Am sent you. Time we say I am, 92 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: we are saying the name of God. That's why what 93 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: follows the I am has so much power. When you 94 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: say I am healthy, you are saying, in effect, God, 95 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: I believe that I'm healthy. That statement has the authority 96 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: of the creator of the universe. It's not just being positive. 97 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: Let me speak some nice affirmations over me. When you 98 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: use I am, it's backed up by the Most High God. 99 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: You may be struggling, you have some things coming against you, 100 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: but when you declare I am blessed. I am victorious. 101 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,559 Speaker 1: I am more than a conquer I am the head 102 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: and not the tell You're not just hyphing yourself up. 103 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: The power of the living God is behind those i ams. 104 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: You could be worried about your children, stressed over your job, 105 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: upset over people at work, But instead of giving life 106 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: to all that defeat, you declare, I am peace, I 107 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: am calm, I am secure, I am confident. When God 108 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: hears those i ams declaring what he said about you, 109 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: angels go to work, forces of darkness are broken, miracles 110 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: said in emotion, his power is backing up the I am. 111 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: That's his name. But imagine how God must feel when 112 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: He has created us in his image and crowned us 113 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: with his favor, put the enemy under our feet, called 114 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: us more than conquers. But he hears us using the 115 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: I am to devalue who we are, to criticize ourselves, 116 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:45,119 Speaker 1: to speak mediocrity. It's like using his name in vain. 117 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: I am not talented enough. I'm not really smart enough. 118 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: I am not attractive enough. No, God calls you a masterpiece. 119 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: He put in you everything you need to reach your destiny. 120 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: I can hear God say, and don't put my name 121 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: on that. Don't use my authority for something I didn't 122 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: call you. A few years ago, someone created a fake 123 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: brand on the internet under Victoria's name. Was this skincare line, 124 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: had all this product, made all these promises, used her picture. 125 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: They showed her on talk shows telling how amazing it was. 126 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: It was all fake. We had nothing to do with it. 127 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: People had come up, Victoria, I bought your skincare products. 128 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: We love it. We had to tell the authorities take 129 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: our name off of that. It's not us, it's a scam. 130 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: In the same way when God hears us saying I 131 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: am weak, I am addicted, I'm dysfunctional, Joel, It's been 132 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: in my family a long time. I am unworthy. I 133 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: don't deserve to be blessed. I am not able. I 134 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 1: don't have the training. God says, that's not who I am. 135 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: That's a scam. Don't use my name like that. That's 136 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: the enemy trying to get you to use the I 137 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: am in the wrong way. When you use I am 138 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: to describe who you are or to describe your circumstances, 139 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: you need to make sure it's in agreement with who 140 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: God says you are. Don't use his name in vain. 141 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: I know normally that means cursing, talking bad, but how 142 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: about not using his name to speak negative over yourself, 143 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 1: to contradict who he says you are. Had a friend 144 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: in high school. He was a good guy, very smart, talented, 145 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: and great in sports, but he was always putting himself down. 146 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: I have never known anyone to be more negative toward themselves. 147 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: I don't think he even realized he's doing it, or 148 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: he's just trying to be funny or self deprecating. All 149 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: through the day he would say things, I am so 150 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: stupid in front of the whole class, I am so fat, 151 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: I'm so clumsy. The problem with saying that is it's 152 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: gonna catch up to you. We played basketball. He'd miss 153 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: a shot. Running back down the court, he would say 154 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: it over and over. I am an idiot, I am 155 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: an idiot. I am an idiot. Thought to myself, You're 156 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: not an idiot. You just missed a shot. We all 157 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: miss shots. Quit cursing your future. Quit using the I 158 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: am in vain. Some people have developed this habit of 159 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: being against themselves. They become trained to speak the negative 160 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: i ams, and they don't realize they're cursing their future. 161 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: You can't go around speaking negative about yourself and reach 162 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: your destiny. As long as you have the wrong i ams, 163 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: it's going to limit your potential. David said in Psalms, 164 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: God put a watch over my mouth. That's a great prayer. God, 165 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: don't let me speak another nation negative thing about myself. 166 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: You have enough people in life against you. Don't be 167 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: against yourself. Most of us don't go around criticizing other people. 168 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: You don't go to your friends or that person sitting 169 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: next to you and say, man, you don't look good today. 170 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: You are overweight. Your personality really gets on my nerves. 171 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: You may think that, but you don't verbalize it. I 172 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: hope you don't. You're not gonna say something to put 173 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: them down. We're disciplined when it comes to not devaluing others. 174 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: Why are you devaluing yourselves? You don't criticize your friends. 175 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: Why are you critical towards yourself? You don't speak defeat 176 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: over your children. You tell them how beautiful they are, 177 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: how talented, and how proud you are to have them. 178 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: Why don't you start being good to yourself? Don't say 179 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: another time I am unattractive, I am not likable, I'm 180 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: too short, I am clumb I am slow. ZiT that up. 181 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: When you criticize yourself, you are criticizing God's creation. You 182 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: might as well look up and say, God, you didn't 183 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: do a very good job on me. The fact is 184 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: God calls you a masterpiece. He made you in his 185 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: own image. He didn't make you in a dog's image, 186 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: or a lion's image, or even an angel's image. You 187 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: have the DNA of Almighty God. You look like the 188 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: creator of the universe. You have royal blood flowing through 189 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: your veins. When God made you, he liked you so 190 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: much he threw away the mold. You are one of 191 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: a kind, a prize possession. But the trick of the 192 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 1: enemy is to get you to go through life feeling inferior, 193 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: like you're not in enough. Speaking negative I ams. He 194 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: knows if you go around discounting yourself, you will never 195 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: see the masterpiece you were meant to be. When you 196 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: say I'm not valuable, I'm not that talented, I am ordinary, 197 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: that's dishonoring to God. You are using his name that 198 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: I am to contradict who he says you are. You 199 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: may feel those ways, but you have to learn to 200 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: turn it around. In the face of insecurity, feeling inferior, 201 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,479 Speaker 1: you need to say I am worthy, I am valuable, 202 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: I am a masterpiece. I am talented. I am crowned 203 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: with favor. That's what causes God to go to work. 204 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 1: That's using his name the right way. The circumstances may 205 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: say one thing. It's tempting to talk about that, but 206 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: you have to get in agreement with God. I may 207 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: be struggling with this addiction, but I am not an addict. 208 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: I am not dysfunctional. I am not a product of 209 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: my environment. I am free, I am whole, I am clean. 210 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: I am victorious. See. Sometimes the reason we're stuck is 211 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: we keep using our i ams to describe the situation, 212 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: but you need to use the I am to change 213 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: the situation. Business may be slow, my bank account may 214 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: have gone down, but that's not who I am. I 215 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: am blessed, I am prosperous. I am under the open 216 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: windows of heaven. Whatever follows that I am is going 217 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: to come looking for you. I am average, Average comes 218 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: looking how about I am exceptional? Exception comes looking favor 219 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: new levels. I am unworthy. I don't measure up. Unworthiness 220 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: comes shame, guilt. Try a different. I am. I am forgiven, 221 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: I am redeemed, I am restored. I am the righteousness 222 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: of God. That's what brings hope, That's what brings life 223 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: and cause you to get back up and go again. 224 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: When my father to be with the Lord, I knew 225 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: I was supposed to step up and pastor the church, 226 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: but I didn't feel qualified. I'd been behind the scenes 227 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: for seventeen years doing the television production and I had 228 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: never trained to be a pastor, never ministered. Plus my 229 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: father was a great pastor and so strong, this big personality, 230 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: and I thought I don't have any of that. My 231 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: ims were negative. I am intimidated, I am unqualified, I 232 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,479 Speaker 1: am lacking. And the fact is that was all true. 233 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: I wasn't making it up. That's how I felt. But 234 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: the scripture says, let the week say I am strong. 235 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: Not let the weak describe the situation. Let the week 236 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: talk about how you feel. No, let the weak declare 237 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: what God says. If I would have kept the wrong 238 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: I ams, I wouldn't be up here today. All these 239 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: thoughts told me I couldn't do it. But all through 240 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: the day I wouldn't say what I felt. That was tempting, 241 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: but I put a watch over my mouth. I did 242 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: my best to only say what God says about me. 243 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: I am strong, I am anointed, I am equipped, I 244 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: am favored. You know what started looking for me? Courage, strength, power, anointing. 245 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: I discovered ability I never dreamed I had talent came 246 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: out that I didn't know was in me. Don't let 247 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: negative i ams keep you from your greatness. You can't 248 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: reach your destiny. Speaking defeat over your life. Whatever follows 249 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: that I am, make sure it's uplifting, encouraging, empowering, that 250 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: it is what God says about you. See some people 251 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: get up in the morning and look in the mirror, 252 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: and the first thing they say is, man, I am 253 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: so old looking, I am so wrinkled, and I am 254 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: so out of shape. Next time you do that, just 255 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: imagine you're sending out invitations oldness. You are cordially invited 256 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: into my life. Wrinkles, this is your formal invitation. I'd 257 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: love to have you, unattractiveness, ugliness, homeliness. I'd like to personally. 258 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: You better start canceling those invitations. Some of you that 259 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: have already shown up. And I'm just kidding, but instead 260 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: of all those negative i ams, starting to day off 261 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: down on yourself. Get in agreement with God. If you're 262 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: gonna use his name, put what he says behind it. Father, 263 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: you said, my youth is being renewed like the eagles. 264 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: So I declare, I am young, I am strong, I 265 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: am good looking, I am vibrant, I am a masterpiece. 266 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: When you say that, it won't get stronger, fresher, younger, 267 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: more vitality. Whatever is following the I am you're calling in. 268 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: Pay attention to what you're speaking over yourself. Do you 269 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: want what you're inviting? David's and so on? One thirty nine. God, 270 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: I praise you because you have made me in an 271 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: amazing way. What you have done is wonderful. Notice David's 272 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: I ams. He was saying, not in arrogance, but in 273 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: praise to God. I am amazing, I am wonderful, I 274 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: am a masterpiece. Most of us think just the opposite. 275 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: Nothing amazing about me, nothing wonderful. I got these flaws. 276 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: I'm impatient. I don't have a very good personality. We're 277 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: speaking against who we really are. We're using the name 278 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: of God that I am to devalue ourselves, to push 279 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: down the greatness He's put in us. Have you ever 280 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: said I am amazing, I am beautiful, I am talented, 281 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: I am successful. I know people that say that to others. 282 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: They have no problem complimenting their friends. You look today, 283 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: that was an incredible presentation. You did outstanding, you played 284 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: awesome in your game. They speak the blessing over others, 285 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: but they never do it to themselves. And it's good 286 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: for people to tell you you're great, you're kind, talented, beautiful, 287 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: But there's a whole other level of impact when it 288 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: comes out of your mouth. Your I am is one 289 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: of the most powerful tools to reach your destiny. When 290 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: was the last time you said I am amazing. You're 291 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: not bragging on you, You're bragging on what God has done. 292 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: I don't mean out in public, go around announcing I'm 293 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: talking about in private, in your quiet time. You need 294 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 1: to be able to say, Lord, thank you that I 295 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: am amazing. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am attractive, 296 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: I am strong, I am talented, I am disciplined, I 297 00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: am powerful, I am favored. I am victorious. Because you're 298 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: in agreement with God, the power of his name is 299 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: backing you up. The God who told Moses tell the 300 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: people I am sent you. When he hears you declaring 301 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: what he promised in the unseen realm, things are said 302 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: into motion. God begins to bring about what he says 303 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: about you. In the scripture, God told Jeremiah that he 304 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: knew him before he was formed in his mother's womb, 305 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: and that he was going to become a great prophet, 306 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: that he would speak to nations and make a great 307 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: difference with his life. But Jeremiah was young, He didn't 308 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: have the training, and no one in his family had 309 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: done anything significant. He said in verse six, Oh, Sovereign God, 310 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: I do not know how to speak. I am too young, 311 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,479 Speaker 1: notice his I ams. I am not able. I am 312 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: at a disadvantage. I am too young. God could have said, no, Jeremiah, 313 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: you can do this. I want to help you take 314 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: this step. He could have just encouraged him and tried 315 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: to talk him into it. But God knows the power 316 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: of the I am. He knows if we're speaking against ourselves, 317 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: it will keep us from rising higher. God answered him 318 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: back and said, Jeremiah, say not that you're too young. 319 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: God was saying, in effect, don't put that negative I 320 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 1: am with my name. That's not who I called you. 321 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: To be. I didn't say you're too young, not able afraid. 322 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: I said you will speak to nations like Jeremiah. God 323 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: not only knew you before you were formed in the wound, 324 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: but he's already called you to accomplish your assignment, to 325 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: go further than you think possible, to overcome obstacles that 326 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: look too big. When he called you, he put in 327 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: you everything you need to fulfill your destiny. There will 328 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: be these times where you don't feel qualified, you don't 329 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: have the experience, you don't come from an influential family. 330 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: All these circumstances seem like you should shrink back, stay 331 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: where it's comfortable. But God is going to call out 332 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: of you things you didn't know were in you. He's 333 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: going to take you further than others in your family 334 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: have gone. If you're going to see these new levels, 335 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: you have to have the right I ams. You'll be 336 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: tempted to make excuses, devalue yourself, come up with the 337 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: reasons it's not possible. That's judging your future based on 338 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: what's happened in the past. But God is about to 339 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: do a new thing, something that you've never seen. He's 340 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: about to show out in your life. In an uncommon way. Now, 341 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: don't let negative ims hold you back by faith. You 342 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: have to declare who God says you are. God. If 343 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: you say I'm a giant killer, then I'm going to 344 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: get in agreement and say what you say, I am 345 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: a giant killer God. If you say I'm a prophet 346 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 1: to speak to the nations, I'm not gonna use my 347 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: i am to tell you I am too young. My 348 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: new I am is, I am well able, I am equipped, 349 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: I am anointed for this assignment. Don't tell God all 350 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: the reasons you can't do it. I am addicted, i 351 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: am brogue, I am limited. I'm too young, too old, 352 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: too short, too tall, all these negative i ams. God 353 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 1: is saying to us what he said to him. Say not, 354 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: you can't do it. Zip up that negative that's gonna 355 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 1: keep you from your destiny. God would not have called 356 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: you to do it if you were not well able. 357 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: Verse nine says the Lord reached out and touched Jeremiah's 358 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: mouth and said, I have put my words in you. 359 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: God could have reached out and touched his heart, touched 360 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: his head, but God touched his mouth. He was saying, 361 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: from now you're gonna speak my words. What's held many 362 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: people back are these negative i ams. They've been speaking 363 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: against themselves their whole life, devaluing who they are. It's 364 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: pushed down their gifts, kept them from dreams, limited relationships. 365 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: Often we don't realize we're doing it. It's how we 366 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: were raised. We've always been against ourselves. I believe today, 367 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: like God did for Jeremiah, he's touching your mouth. He's 368 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: gonna help you stop cursing your future. You're gonna feel 369 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: a power, a strength to not speak defeat over your life. 370 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: When you start to the spirit of God is going 371 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: to rise up and remind you to zip it up. 372 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: Say not that you're too young. Say not that you're 373 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: not qualified. Say not you missed your chance. Say not 374 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: that you'll live addicted. What God has spoken over you 375 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: will override what the enemy has told you. No force 376 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: of darkness can stop what God has purpose for you. 377 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: Now do your part and use that I am to 378 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: declare what God says about you. This is what Jeremiah did. 379 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: He changes I am from I am too young to 380 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: I am victorious. I am an overcomer, I am in power. 381 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: God touched his mouth, said in verse eighteen Jeremiah I 382 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: have made you like a strong, fortified city. You will 383 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: stand up against any opposition. They will fight you, but 384 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: they will fail, for I Am with you. When you 385 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: have the right i ams, the most high God will 386 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: show up. People may come against you, but the great 387 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: i Am is backing you up our negative ims, keeping 388 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 1: you from your destiny. Have you been speaking against your 389 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: future and maybe don't realize it, using one of the 390 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: names of God to declare defeat, to speak mediocrity. This 391 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: is a new day and it has reached out to 392 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: touch your mouth. He's going to help you speak faith 393 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: filled words. When you get the right i ams, you'll 394 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: be amazed at how your self image begins to improve. 395 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: You feel good about who you are. You don't live 396 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: stuck thinking you could never get well. Never break the addiction. 397 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: You know that's only temporary. That God is fighting your battles. 398 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: They came against you, but like Jeremiah, they will fail, 399 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: for God is with you. Now, pay attention to what 400 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: follows the im. That's what you're inviting into your life. 401 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: No more inviting lack, defeat, struggle. Let's invite some new things. 402 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: Let me help you to get started. Will you say 403 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: this after me?

I am blessed. I am successful, 406 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: I am young, I am favored, I am powerful. I 407 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: am victorious.
