Thank you so much for downloading 37 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 3: this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future. 38 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 3: I hope you enjoy this message. I just want to 39 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 3: remind you that you are extraordinary. Nobody wants to be 40 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 3: ordinary today. We all want to be extraordinary. We want 41 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 3: to live an extraordinary life. And that's what Jesus said. 42 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 3: He said, I want to come to give you a 43 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 3: life and a life of abundance. See he came so 44 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: that we could live an abundant life, an extraordinary life, 45 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 3: an exceptional life. God doesn't want us to live average, mediocre. 46 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: He doesn't want us to be ordinary in our thinking. 47 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 3: He wants us to be extraordinary in our thinking. He 48 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 3: wants us to expect more, to go for more, to 49 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 3: strive for more, to be the very best that we 50 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 3: can be. Do you know when you're the very best 51 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 3: you can be today, your tomorrow will be better. See 52 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 3: when you prepare for today, hey, You'll be ready for 53 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: the opportunities tomorrow. When preparation meets opportunity, it's called success. 54 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: So I want to encourage all of us to not 55 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 3: have just this ordinary mindset, but have an extraordinary mindset. 56 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 3: Expect to be full of joy, abundance, creativity, blessing. You know, 57 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 3: Joel was just saying to us earlier, and I think 58 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 3: it's something that we need to hear when we come 59 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 3: to the House of the Lord, and we need to 60 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 3: express to ourself that we're a masterpiece. We didn't just 61 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 3: come off of an assembly line. We're an original. We 62 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 3: have callings and giftings that are matchless. See, only you 63 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 3: can do what God's called you to do. Only you 64 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 3: were created to be you. You weren't created to be 65 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 3: anyone else. You weren't created to coffee anyone else. You 66 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 3: were designed uniquely you. So get this down in your heart, 67 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 3: get this down in your spirit today and say, I'm 68 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 3: tired of living ordinary. I'm tired of living just mundane. 69 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 3: I'm gonna start having this extraordinary mindset. You say, but, Victoria, 70 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: my life is just routine. You know what. All of 71 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: our lives are routine. Most of life is doing the 72 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 3: same thing over and over again. We get up in 73 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 3: the morning, we go to work, we do our jobs. 74 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 3: We come home, we wash the dishes, we take care 75 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,119 Speaker 3: of the kids, we cook the dinner, we mow the lawn, 76 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 3: we pay the bills. Most of our day is routine. 77 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 3: We go to bed, get up in the morning, and 78 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 3: do it all over again. But it is our job 79 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 3: to not get sucked into that routine, but to cause 80 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 3: our life to produce extraordinary in the routine. You see, 81 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 3: you were designed to produce extraordinary in the routines of life. 82 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 3: Think about this just a minute. Anything that you do well, 83 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 3: you have to do often, and it is called routine. 84 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: So we have to know that when we're in the routine, 85 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 3: we're in the difficulties, we're in, the challenges, all the 86 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 3: things that we all face, that there's extraordinary being produced. 87 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 3: Because I believe when we understand that we're not average, 88 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 3: and our challenges weren't here to make us suffer. They're 89 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 3: here to bring something out of us. Our difficulties are 90 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 3: here to bring something out of us. Our routine is 91 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 3: here to bring something out of us. I think about 92 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: all the years that I've loved my family. My children 93 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 3: were born, I took care of them. I changed their diapers, 94 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 3: I fed them, I gave them a bath, I taught them. 95 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 3: I did everything I knew to do, day after day 96 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 3: after day. I've tried to be a good helpmate to 97 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: my husband. I make sure he gets what he likes. 98 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 3: I cook him dinner, I tell him what to do, 99 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 3: I give in vitamins. I do my very best, even 100 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 3: when they don't appreciate it day in and day out. 101 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 3: But can I tell you, even when they don't appreciate it, 102 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 3: and even when it's difficult, do you know what the 103 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 3: routine has done for me? It's given me extraordinary. It 104 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: is my extraordinary? What is your extraordinary? I can see 105 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: my life because I was routine and faithful with what 106 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 3: God gave me, I now have extraordinary in my life. 107 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 3: I think about challenges and difficulties I faced. Many times 108 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 3: I think I just want to quit. Is this even 109 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 3: worth it? Is it even matter? But I have learned 110 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: when I've pressed through day after day those challenges, day 111 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 3: after day, it produced extraordinary lessons in my life. Listen, 112 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: when you are faithful with what God has placed in 113 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 3: your hand, and you don't allow it to become mundane 114 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: and ordinary and give it just half of what you 115 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 3: could give that you know what you're doing. You're creating extraordinary. 116 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 3: You're creating something to talk about tomorrow. You see, sometimes 117 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 3: it's not always easy to talk about it, but if 118 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 3: you'll stick with it, you'll have something to talk about. 119 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: You'll have something to be proud of. So even in 120 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 3: the difficult times, I want to encourage you to stay faithful. 121 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: God is preparing you. You are passing the tests. He 122 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 3: wants to give you greater opportunity, greater life, a greater 123 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: a destiny. So we want to just live with purpose 124 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 3: because I know how it feels. I'm preaching to myself today. 125 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 3: I have to get up in the morning and I 126 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: have to say today is a good day. I've got 127 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 3: good things in front of me. You know what you 128 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,679 Speaker 3: say to yourself, the moment you get up is gonna 129 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 3: set the tone for your life. So you've got to 130 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: get this down in your heart, even when it's difficult, 131 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: no matter what's going on on the other side of 132 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: that difficulty is extreme, e raordinary. You can all say 133 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 3: with me today, I have seen the extraordinary. 134 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 5: You're right. 135 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 3: It was worth putting my effort into even when I 136 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: didn't see where the routine was taking me. I now 137 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 3: see this extraordinary job I have. I now see this 138 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 3: extraordinary family I have. I now see an extraordinary ministry 139 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: that I have. You see, you may not see where 140 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 3: it's taking you all the time, but it will lead 141 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 3: you to extraordinary. When Joel's father was pastor of Lakewood 142 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 3: Church in his latter years, I would come and get 143 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 3: him and take him to church. I'll remember one time 144 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 3: we were in the bag getting ready for church, and 145 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 3: he had a woman who did his hair and his 146 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 3: makeup for television because we would broadcast the Sunday services. 147 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 3: And when I was back there one morning, this young 148 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 3: lady that did his hair looked at him and she said, 149 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 3: Pastor ostein, I have to tell you some news. She said, 150 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 3: my husband is being transferred to another state for his job. 151 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 3: And she said, this is going to be the last 152 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 3: time that I'm going to be able to do your 153 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 3: hair and makeup. She said, I'm so sorry this came 154 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 3: so quickly, but this is one of those things where 155 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 3: I just have to go. And I remember him just 156 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 3: kind of sitting there. He was looking at her, and 157 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 3: I could just see a thousand things going on in 158 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 3: his head, and he didn't know what to say. So 159 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 3: he looked at me and he said, well, Victoria, he said, 160 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 3: can you do my hair for TV on Sundays? I thought, 161 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 3: I don't have a cosmetology license, I'm not trained in this. 162 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 3: Then the next thing I know, they're both looking at me. 163 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 3: So I quickly just said, sure, I'll do it if 164 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 3: you trust me. Well, little did they know. I had 165 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 3: a little experience when I was in junior high school. 166 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 3: I used to cut some of my friend's hair and 167 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 3: attempt at highlighting. But that day I was given a promotion. 168 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 3: I was now the hair solace for John Osting Lakewood 169 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 3: TV television production. My family, a lot of my mother's 170 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 3: side of the family lives in Georgia and they were 171 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 3: preparing a family reunion and they had made plans, got 172 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 3: in hotels, got in locations. They'd put a lot of 173 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 3: work into it. And they called me up and they 174 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 3: gave me the date and they said, listen, we're gonna 175 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 3: have the best family reunion. You got to be there. 176 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 3: This is the date. So I checked the date and 177 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 3: it fell on a weekend, and I said, look, guys, 178 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 3: I can't come on the weekend. I have to do 179 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 3: my father in lost hair. And they were like so disappointed. 180 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 3: They were like, what, you can't come and We've done 181 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 3: all this planning, and I said, no, I'm committed. We 182 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 3: tape on Sunday and I have to pick him up 183 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 3: and I have to bring to the church. I have 184 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 3: to do his hair. Well. Later on I got word 185 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 3: that they were talking about me. I found out that 186 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 3: they didn't think my job was very important. And they said, 187 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 3: I can't believe that's all she does in the ministry. 188 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 3: I think she should be doing more. You know, they 189 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 3: weren't trying to be mean, they just thought my job 190 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 3: description should be different. Well, you know what, that hurt 191 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 3: my feelings and I got to thinking about it. And 192 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 3: I got a little discouraged about it. But then I 193 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 3: made a decision. I thought, you know what, I'm gonna 194 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 3: let that go because deep down on the inside of me, 195 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 3: I hear be faithful in the small, be faithful in 196 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 3: the small, Just be faithful in the small. So I 197 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: let that go, and I decided to be the best 198 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 3: TV production hair person there has ever been. So for 199 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 3: several years, I'd picked my father in law up, bring 200 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 3: him to the church, and get him TV ready. I 201 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 3: was committed to that job. I was faithful and in 202 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 3: the routine of all those Sunday mornings, all those weekends, 203 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 3: I didn't realize that I was building extraordinary into my life. 204 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 3: You see, I believe it built commitment in my life. 205 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 3: I believe that it was doing a work in me. 206 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 3: It was causing me to be able to understand the 207 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 3: ministry life, giving me vision. It was showing me what 208 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 3: it took to do this job. And I believe just 209 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 3: through those years of what some people may not have 210 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 3: thought was important, God did think it was important. It 211 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 3: was building extraordinary in me, and I believe that I 212 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 3: can do what I'm doing today. I can be with 213 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 3: my husband and help him push this ministry forward because 214 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 3: of the commitment and the faithfulness that I showed then. 215 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 3: You see, in many ways it prepared me. So I 216 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 3: want to encourage you today. Don't let the definition of 217 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 3: someone else's success determine your future. See, someone might not 218 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 3: think what you're doing is very important. They may look 219 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 3: down on it. They may not realize what God is 220 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 3: doing in your life. He is preparing you for greater opportunity. 221 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 3: You see, because someone doesn't see what you're doing doesn't 222 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 3: mean that God doesn't see what you're doing. Just because 223 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 3: they don't think it's important doesn't mean God doesn't think 224 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 3: it's important. And I'm telling you, God bless us faithfulness. 225 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 3: We have to pass this faithfulness test if we're going 226 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 3: to go on to greater things. You know, one thing 227 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 3: that I realize that really can reduce this extraordinary life 228 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: that God's given us down to ordinary is when we 229 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 3: compare ourself. You know, we all know that social media 230 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 3: these days can make your life feel like it's going nowhere. 231 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 3: You look at these vacations, you look at all this 232 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 3: stuff these people are doing. They're highlight reel and you think, man, 233 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 3: my life is just ordinary routine. I go to work, 234 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: I come home, I go to work, I come home. 235 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 3: When do they have time to do all this stuff? Well, 236 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 3: little do we realize it took them twenty nine tries 237 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 3: just to get that picture right. And then after they 238 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 3: filtered it, corrected it, worked through it, then it was perfect. 239 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 3: We know this, don't we We cannot fall into the 240 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 3: trap of comparing ourself because we're originals, we're masterpieces. We're 241 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 3: one of a kind. The assignments that you're called to 242 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 3: do are distinct to your calling. You fit your destiny. 243 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 3: No one else can do what you've been called to do. 244 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 3: Don't shrink your life down to mundane an ordinary. Stir 245 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 3: up the gifts of God within you. What do you 246 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 3: have in your hand that is going to be your 247 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 3: extraordinary tomorrow? 248 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 5: I encourage you just like I encourage myself.
