1

Speaker 1: and have a new book out called Speak the Blessing

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,800

Speaker 1: over your life.

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: I know you'll enjoy it. But blessings to you today

Speaker 2: and enjoy the podcast for God bless you.

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: It is always a joy to come into your homes.

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: We love you and we know God has great things

9
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: in store.

10
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: For each one of you.

11
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: If you're ever in our area, I hope you'll stop

12
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: by and be a part of one of our services.

13
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: We would love to have you here. I promise you

14
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: we'll make you feel right at home. But thanks for

15
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: tuning in, and again thank you all for coming out today.

16
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: And I like to start with something funny each week.

17
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: And these are just jokes. Don't anybody be offended by them.

18
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 1: But I heard about these three aspiring psychiatrists. They were

19
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: taking their first test on emotional extremes. The professor asked

20
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: the first student from Harvard, what's the opposite of sadness?

21
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: He replied happiness.

22
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: He asked the second student from Yale, what's the opposite

23
00:00:59,040 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: of depression?

24
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: He replied joy.

25
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: He asked the third student from Texas A and M.

26
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: What's the opposite of woe?

27
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: Woe?

28
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: The Haggie look kind of puzzled. He finally replied, giddy up,

29
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: all rid hold up your bible. Say it like you

30
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it

31
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: says I am. I have what it says I have.

32
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: I can do what it says I can do. Today

33
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess.

34
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

35
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

36
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about how you

37
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: are uncontainable. When God created us, he put seeds of

38
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: increase on the inside. We were never made to reach

39
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: one level and stop. We were created to grow, to

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: move forward, to increase, and we should constantly be breaking

41
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: barriers of the past, taking new ground for our family,

42
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: and advancing God's kingdom. But throughout life there will always

43
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: be forces to try to keep us where we are.

44
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: They can't stop the progress that we've made, but they'll

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: do their best to contain us, to keep us in

46
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: a box and to limit our influence. Not long ago,

47
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: the swine flu came on the scene. Many experts believe

48
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: that it started in Mexico. They immediately shut the city down.

49
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: No one could come or go. Look like a ghost town,

50
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: no traffic, no people, no business.

51
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: What were they doing trying to contain it?

52
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: They knew it might be contagious and if it got

53
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: past a few people, it could multiply and spread all over.

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: And that's what happened. Eventually, it couldn't be contained. And

55
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: that's the way the forces of darkness try to work

56
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: against us. They're constantly trying to push us down, limit

57
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: our influence, and keep us from taking any new ground.

58
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: But can I give you some good news today? You

59
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: are uncontainable. The forces that are in you are greater

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: than the forces that are trying to contain you.

61
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: And if you're going to become.

62
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: Everything God's created you to be, you can't get stuck

63
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: in a rut and think you've reached your limits. You've

64
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: got to keep stretching your faith, looking for new opportunities,

65
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: new ideas, and new ways to expand your influence. When

66
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: I was twelve years old, I played football. A friend

67
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: of mine was on the opposing team. He was their

68
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: running back. He was very fast, very quick, almost impossible

69
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: to stop. And we were going to play his team.

70
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: Our coach came up with a special defense. He put

71
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: twice as many guys on his side. The phrase he

72
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: used all week was contain him. I must have heard

73
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: that phrase a thousand times. The coach had us focus,

74
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: one group on the outside, one group on the inside.

75
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: We were worked in work, trying to figure out how

76
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: to stop him. Well, when the game rolled around, it

77
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: was like we had not even practiced.

78
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: He was so much quicker than us.

79
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: The coach could have put the whole team on him,

80
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: he still would have gotten by. Even when we were

81
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: able to grab him. It was like he was covered

82
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: with oil. We couldn't hang on. He would twist and

83
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: turn and always get away. What was the problem. He

84
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: was uncontainable. That's the way I want you to see yourself.

85
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: You have the spirit of the Living God on the inside.

86
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: His anointing on your life is just like oil. When

87
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: something tries to stop you, hold you down, it doesn't

88
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: have a chance in your imagination. You just twist and

89
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: turn and see that sliding off. You are uncontainable. But

90
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: some of you today have gotten complacent and you've settled

91
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: where you are. You believe those lies that You've gone

92
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: as far as you can go. You've made too many mistakes.

93
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: You come from the wrong family, this handicap. Now I'm

94
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: here to infect you with a virus. It's a good virus,

95
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: a God virus. It says you were made for more,

96
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: to influence, more, to accomplish, more, love, more to give, more, to.

97
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: Have more friends.

98
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: I've got to warn you today, I'm highly contagious, and

99
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm infecting you with faith. I'm infecting you with vision,

100
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm infecting you with joy. God is saying you have

101
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 1: not touched the surface of what he has in store

102
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: for you. He is going to take you places that

103
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: you've never dreamed of. He's going to bring opportunities that

104
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: give you amazing influence. You have not seen your best days.

105
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: They are still out in front of you. Now, you've

106
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: got to dig your heels in and say, I will

107
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: not be contained by people by the way I was raised,

108
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: by mistakes I've made, by some injustice, disappointment, or even handicap. No,

109
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: I have my mind made up. Where I am is

110
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: not where I'm staying. I'm rising higher. I'm going to

111
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: be a barrier breaker. I'm going to take new ground

112
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: for God's kingdom. It's time for us, as God's people,

113
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: to rise up and become leaders and have influence and

114
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: respect and credibility, not just in our own.

115
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 2: Circle, but in the marketplace.

116
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: That means in the general public, in the schools, in

117
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: the government, arts, sports, entertainment. We're not supposed to hide

118
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: our gifts and go around feeling like we're second class

119
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: and we don't have that much to offer. Now, put

120
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: your shoulders back, hold your head up high. You are

121
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: a child of the most High God. God breathed his

122
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: life into you. You have something incredible to offer. In

123
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: the coming days.

124
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: God is going to increase your influence. I love the story.

125
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: In Acts chapter four, Peter and John had prayed for people,

126
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: and they had gotten well, and great miracles had taken place.

127
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: They had a big service, and all kinds of good

128
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: things happened. But the city leaders didn't know what.

129
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: To do with them.

130
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: They weren't for them, they didn't fit in their box.

131
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: Instead of being happy about it.

132
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: They said and Acts four, verses sixteen and seventeen, we

133
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: cannot deny that a notable miracle has taken place, but

134
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,679
Speaker 1: here's our plan that it spread no further. They were saying,

135
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: in effect, we're just gonna push them down, lessen their influence,

136
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: and try to contain them. But Peter and John understood

137
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: this principle. They know we cannot be contained the dream

138
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: God put in our heart. As long as we stay

139
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: in faith, nothing can shut it down. And that message

140
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: was not restricted. It spread like wildfire. And here we're

141
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: still talking about it today. What am I saying? You

142
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: cannot be contained. People may try to push you down.

143
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: Somebody may try to discourage you and close some doors.

144
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: But if you'll just keep pressing ford, shaking that off,

145
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: God will open up doors that no man can shut.

146
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: God will raise you up even though somebody else is

147
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: trying to push you down. I think about Nelson Mandela.

148
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: He was put in prison because he opposed the government

149
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: of apartheid. The leaders thought they had finally gotten rid

150
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: of him, they wouldn't have to deal with his opposition anymore.

151
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: Mister Mandela could have thought, well, I did my best,

152
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: gave it my all.

153
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: I guess it wasn't meant to be.

154
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: No, Nelson Mandela knew he couldn't be contained by people,

155
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: by injustice, by racism, by hatred, even by prison walls.

156
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: Twenty seven years later, he walked out a free man.

157
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: Eventually he became president of that same country and won

158
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: the Nobel Peace Prize. Friends, what God has destined for

159
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: your life will come to fulfill it. For some of

160
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: you think you've got too many obstacles, and you've had

161
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: too many closed doors, and it's been too long.

162
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: You don't see how it could ever happen.

163
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: Now you've got to get your fire back, get your

164
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: dream back. It may look impossible, but God is saying

165
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: that setback cannot contain you.

166
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: That injustice, that.

167
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: Disappointment, that bad break cannot hold you down. If you

168
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: will get rid of that limited mentality and press forward

169
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: in faith, God will still get you to where you're

170
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: supposed to be. That's what happened to the apostle Paul.

171
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: He was put in prison for spreading the good news.

172
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: Paul could have gotten depressed, discouraged, given up. Instead, his

173
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: attitude was I may not be able to go out

174
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: and minister, but I do have a pen. I do

175
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: have a piece of paper I can write. He ended

176
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: up writing much of the New Testament from a prison cell.

177
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: They thought they were containing him, but it did just

178
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: the opposite.

179
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: It backfired.

180
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: Paul had more influence with his writings than he ever

181
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: did in person. Now I want you to get down

182
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: in your spirit. God is going to increase your influence.

183
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: The scripture talks about how God will cause his light

184
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: to shine down on us, his face to shine down

185
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: on us.

186
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 2: That's his favor. You need to start expecting this favor.

187
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: As never before. God wants you to be a burrier breaker.

188
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: He wants you to take new ground for the kingdom.

189
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: But it seems like in days past the church has

190
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: been seen as kind of secondary that's for people that

191
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: don't have anything better to do, and we fall into

192
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: that mentality. At times we think, well, not that talented,

193
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't have too much to offer, and too often

194
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: we thought, let us just take the leftovers. We can't

195
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: afford anything. If you can, just give us a discount,

196
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: if you can, just please help us. No influence, no

197
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: abundant mentality. In fact, this is exactly how my father

198
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: started out. My dad grew up extremely poor, and he

199
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: developed a barely by mentality. He never thought he would

200
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: have enough, and he certainly never thought he would have

201
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:06,599
Speaker 1: any influence.

202
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: It took him years and years.

203
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: To get rid of a poverty mindset, a second class mentality.

204
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: One day he realized what I'm telling you, he didn't

205
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: have to be contained by how he was raised, whether

206
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: he was created to live an abundant life. He developed

207
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: a new mindset. I remember one time my father was

208
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: at a store to buy a suit. When the salesperson

209
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: found out he was a minister. He said to my father,

210
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: let me go talk to my manager. Maybe we can

211
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: give you a minister's discount. Years earlier, my father would

212
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: have been jumping up and down, rejoicing, God, you're.

213
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 2: Beating my needs. And my dad loved to get a

214
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: good deal.

215
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: We're certainly not against that, but he had come through

216
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: so much poverty and lack and defeat that just didn't

217
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: set well with him. He said, listen, brother, I appreciate

218
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: you wanting to help me, but I got to tell

219
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: you I don't need a minister's discount. I am not

220
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: a beggar. I'm not looking for a handout. I am

221
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: not second class. I am a child of the most

222
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: high God. I am blessed, I am prosperous, and I

223
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: am well able to pay the full price. That man

224
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: looked at him and said, man, I have never met

225
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: a minister like you.

226
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: What was that. My father was a barrier breaker.

227
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: He believed that he could rise higher, and he didn't

228
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: have to be contained by how he was raised and

229
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: what he saw model growing up. He saw God do

230
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: amazing things in his life. But too often God's people

231
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: have seen themselves as second class and poor and defeated

232
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: and let me just barely scrape by no influence, no

233
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: respect and credibility like it should be from our peers.

234
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: But thank God, this is a new day. There's a

235
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: new generation rising up, people that say, I know who

236
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: I am, a child of Almighty God. Now I don't

237
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: have to be contained by how I was raised, by

238
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: what I've seen in the past. I know I am

239
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: a barrier breaker. I am a person of influence. So

240
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna move forward and take new ground, not just

241
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: from my family, but I'm gonna advance God's kingdom.

242
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: Friends.

243
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: It all starts in our thinking. Don't be contained in

244
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: your mind. Who told you you can't rise any higher.

245
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: Who told you you'll never be successful, you'll never own

246
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: that nice house, you'll never be in management, you'll never

247
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: have any more influence. Those are lies from the enemy.

248
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what I know about you. Some

249
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: of you are going to write a book that will

250
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: touch millions of people. Some of you will develop medicine

251
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: that will impact our world. Some of you will see

252
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: your movies at the top of the charts. Some of

253
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: you will have a ministry that will shake your nation.

254
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: Some of you will develop software that will revolutionize business.

255
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: Some of you will start a company. There will be

256
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: a global force in the economy. Some of you will

257
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: be the next leaders of your community, of your city,

258
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: of your.

259
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: State, even of your nation.

260
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: Don't you dare sit back and say, well, that couldn't

261
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: be me, Joel.

262
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: I don't have the education. I'm not that smart. I

263
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: don't have the contacts.

264
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: Now, you've got to start seeing yourself differently. You are

265
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: a barrier breaker. You are uncontainable. You've got so much

266
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: talent in you, so much potential. There are seeds of.

267
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: Greatness on the inside. And if you will break free.

268
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: From a limited mindset and enlarge your vision, you will

269
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: see God take you places that you've never even dreamed of.

270
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: That's what God has done for us.

271
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: I think about the fact that we're sitting in this

272
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: beautiful facility today. I tried to go the traditional route

273
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: and buy some property and build a sanctuary on it.

274
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: But God's dream for our life is always so much

275
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: bigger than our own. God gave us this beautiful former

276
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: sports facility, the premier auditorium in the fourth largest.

277
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: City in America. What was that?

278
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: We broke barriers. God helped us to pave the way

279
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: to go further. Now other people can come behind us

280
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: and do the same thing. And you know, it's not

281
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: just about being bigger, not just about the size. It's

282
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: about advancing the kingdom. It's about making a mark in

283
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: our generation. That's the way God wants it to be.

284
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: Every generation should increase. Our former campus was on very

285
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: small side streets in a rural section of town. Great

286
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: people over there, but over time it had really gotten

287
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: run down. Through the years, people used to say to

288
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: my parents, what do you doing still over here in

289
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: this part of town. Some of them even ridiculed them,

290
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: saw them as second class. But isn't it interesting how

291
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: God has a way of always giving you the last laugh.

292
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: Today we're not on a side street. We're on the

293
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: second busiest freeway in the nation, sitting on a prime

294
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: He's a property.

295
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: God didn't just give us a building.

296
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: He increased our influence. It's happening all over I think

297
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: about when I was growing up, you just heard Christian

298
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: music in our church services, and maybe ever once in

299
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: a while through the years, other radio stations would play it,

300
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: but not that much.

301
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: But this is a new day.

302
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: A couple of months ago, I was watching a ballgame

303
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: and a national commercial came on for a cell phone company.

304
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: The music in.

305
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: The background was you are good all the time, You

306
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: are good. It's the song that Israel Road that we

307
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,239
Speaker 1: sing all the time. What's happening? We can't be contained.

308
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: We are dangerous. We're on the loose, don't you know.

309
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: The enemies having a nervous breakdown. They tried to stop

310
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: us from building a new sanctuary, and God blessed us

311
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: with a premier sports facility. They try to push down

312
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: your talent, try to contain you, but they'll pop up

313
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: on commercials, movies on the sports fields. People today are

314
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: not ashamed of their faith. Even in the business world,

315
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: people are not afraid to admit, you know what, My talent.

316
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: Comes from the Lord. He's the one that has given

317
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 2: me my skills.

318
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 1: A few months back, my children were watching American Idol.

319
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: At the end of the program, all the contestants came

320
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: back on and they started singing a song that our

321
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: friend Darlene.

322
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: Check wrote, Shout to the Lord all the Earth.

323
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: Let us sing not on a church program, but on

324
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: the number one program in all of television.

325
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 2: It can't be contained.

326
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: Now. I want you to get this down in your spirit.

327
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: God is going to increase your influence. He's going to

328
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: cause your gifts and talents to come out in a

329
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: greater way. His face is shining down on you right now.

330
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: You've got to get rid of every limited not talent head.

331
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: Don't have what it takes second class mentality. You have

332
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: exactly what you need.

333
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: There are in you.

334
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: Right now, gifts, talents, ideas, inventions, books, movies. They are

335
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: just waiting to come out. It's going to be like

336
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: an explosion. You better get ready. God is about to

337
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: thrust you into a new level of your destiny.

338
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: You cannot be contained.

339
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: It's been said that the most famous sports facility in

340
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: the world is Yankee Stadium. A while back, when they

341
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,719
Speaker 1: were finishing building their new ballpark, someone from their organization called.

342
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: They invited us to come and bring one of our

343
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: Nights of Hope and be the first non baseball event

344
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: in the New Yankee Stadium. When my staff told me,

345
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: I thought they were joking. I said, why do they

346
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: want to invite me? They could invite the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Elvis,

347
00:18:55,040 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: but instead, but instead they invited this good, good looking

348
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: minister from Texas. What was God doing increasing our influence?

349
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: God was opening doors that no man can shut. We

350
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: were able to take new ground for the kingdom. So

351
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: often we think all nothing like that would happen for me.

352
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: You don't know my circumstances, Joel, you don't know what

353
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: I've been through.

354
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 2: Listen.

355
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: God is not limited by your circumstances. God is not

356
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,959
Speaker 1: contained by your education, by your environment, how you were raised.

357
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 2: All God has to do is breathe in your direction.

358
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: All he has to do is blow the wind of

359
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: his favor your way. You could be standing at the

360
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: very back of the line, but if the winds change

361
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: and blow the other direction, instead of being last, you'll

362
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: be first. A couple of years ago, I was in

363
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: an amusement park with our two children. We were waiting

364
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: in this very long line for a popular ride, and

365
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: at first it was all single file, but when you

366
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: got close to the front, you went into this small

367
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: room and waited to get on the ride. And the

368
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: room was about twenty by twenty, and we were the

369
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: first ones in this new batch, and so we naturally

370
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: just walked up to the front. But when all the

371
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: other people came, most of them were kids. They were

372
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: so excited and so anxious about getting on. Somehow they

373
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: maneuvered their way in front of me, and I'm more

374
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,719
Speaker 1: laid back and I wasn't going to get in there

375
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: and fight with them, try to stand our ground. We

376
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: ended up at the very back of the room, right

377
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: where we came In a couple of minutes, this young

378
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: lady came out that worked there, and she made announcements

379
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: and told some instructions about what was going on. Then

380
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: she says, everybody ready to go? And anybody said yeah.

381
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: She said, okay, turn around and go back out the doors.

382
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: You just came in right where we were standing. I

383
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: wanted to say, nanny, nanny, boo boooo. I thought we

384
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: would be last, but we were the first.

385
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: What am I saying?

386
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: All God has to do is change the direction of

387
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: the wind and you'll be first in life. That's God's

388
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: favor on your life. God just has to change the

389
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: direction and he can blow a compact center your way

390
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: like he did for us, or more practical, he can

391
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: blow a new job, opportunity, a new person, a new

392
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: level of his favor. You may feel like today, man,

393
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: you are at the back of the line. Nothing's going

394
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: your way, never getting any good breaks. You need to

395
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: get ready. God's wind is about to blow in your direction.

396
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: That's what happened to a friend of mine. You heard

397
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: the story recently of doctor Todd Price. He told how

398
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: he grew up in a small town in Kentucky, and

399
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: he came from a lower income family. Didn't never look

400
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: like he would make much of his life. That as

401
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: a young boy, he saw a program on television that

402
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: talked about how they were starving children, kids just that

403
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: were desperately in need of food, and for fifteen dollars

404
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: a month, you could sponsor a child. Nobody asked him

405
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: to do it, his parents didn't encourage him, but he

406
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: was so moved by that program. At twelve years old,

407
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: he went out and started mowing lawns and he used

408
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: that money to sponsor a child.

409
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 2: That was over forty years ago.

410
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: Today, doctor Price not only has a successful medical practice,

411
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: but this year to date he has given over two

412
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars worth of medicine to needy

413
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: people around the world.

414
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: He went from.

415
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: Fifteen dollars to a quarter of a billion dollars.

416
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 2: See doctor Price is a barrier breaker.

417
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: He didn't let the limitations of the past and how

418
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: he was raised keep him from rising higher in the natural.

419
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: It didn't look like he could ever go to medical school,

420
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: ever make much of his life. But he didn't allow

421
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: those strongholds to take root. Deep down, he knew he

422
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: was uncontainable. He knew the creator of the universe was

423
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: breathing in his direction. Today he's taken new ground for

424
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: the Kingdom. He's making a mark that cannot be erased.

425
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: I saw a report on television recently about a young

426
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: girl that has severe autism. Her name is Carly. Years

427
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: and years. She had never spoken a word or communicated

428
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: in any way. It looked like she was mentally retarded.

429
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: All through the day, she would just flil her arms, drool,

430
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: and have uncontrollable fits. At seven years old, the authorities

431
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: tried to talk her parents into putting her in a

432
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: special home. They said, she's never going to get any better.

433
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: She doesn't even comprehend the love that you're showing, much

434
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: less what you're constantly saying to her.

435
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 2: Those parents wouldn't hear of it.

436
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: They just kept loving her, training her, speaking faith into her.

437
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: One day, out of the blue, at eleven years old,

438
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: Carly sat down at the computer and typed these words,

439
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: I have autism, but this is not who I am.

440
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: Take time to know me before you judge me. I

441
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: am smart, cute, funny, and I love to have fun.

442
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: At that point, the parents realized Carly was in there.

443
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:14,479
Speaker 1: She just never found the way to communicate. Later, she typed, Dad,

444
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: thank you for believing in me. I know I'm not

445
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 1: the easiest child in the world to love, but you

446
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: are always there for me to pick me up when

447
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: I fall. The father said that was worth every frustration,

448
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: every sleepless night. They even discovered that Carly has a

449
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: sense of humor. When asked about her little brother, she

450
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: sat down and typed, Matthew smells so bad even skunks

451
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: running hide. Today, at fourteen, Carly still amazes us. She's

452
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: in the process of writing her first novel. Even though

453
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: she still has severe autism, She's still confined to a

454
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: body that doesn't function normally. She cannot be contained. I'm

455
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: asking you today to get rid of the excuses. Quit

456
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: thinking I'm not talented enough, I've made too many mistakes.

457
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 2: I've got this handicap. No let these words.

458
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: Sink deep down into your spirit. You are uncontainable. You're

459
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: a burier breaker. God wants to use you, just like

460
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: you are to influence others. Get a vision for it.

461
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: You can set a new standard for your family. If

462
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: Carly can do it, you can do it. Unlock what's

463
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: on the inside. Your seeds of greatness are waiting to

464
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: take root and flourish.

465
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 2: And know this.

466
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: Right now, God is breathing in your direction. Vision is increasing,

467
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: faith is rising, Dreams are coming back to life. You

468
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: have not seen your best days. You may have had

469
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: some victories in your past, but what God has in

470
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: store in your future will supersede anything you could even imagine. Now,

471
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: you've got to take the limits off of God and

472
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: take the limits off of yourself. Looking at what you

473
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: don't have and what you can't do, and how big

474
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: your obstacles are. So shake that off and have the attitude.

475
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: I am uncontainable. This sickness can't contain me. I'm a

476
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: child or the most High God.

477
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: I will fulfill my destiny.

478
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 1: These people that are trying to push me down, they

479
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: can't contain me. If God before me, who dare be

480
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: against me? Even these prison bars, they can't contain me.

481
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: I may not be able to leave, but.

482
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 2: I can do. Like the apostle Paul, I got a pen.

483
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 2: I can write. My gifts will still come out to

484
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: the full.

485
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: Friends, in the coming days, God is going to bring

486
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: opportunities for you to increase your influence in amazing ways.

487
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: Don't shrink back in fear. Don't be intimidated. You are

488
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: well able, you are equipped, you are anointed. Dare to

489
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: take those steps of faith. Make up your mind. Where

490
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 1: I am is not where I'm staying. I'm not going

491
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: to get comfortable. I'm not going to get stuck in

492
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: a rut. I know I am uncontainable, So I'm going

493
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: to keep pressing full Lord, stretching my faith, believing for

494
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: bigger things, expecting God's favor in unprecedented ways. I want

Speaker 1: going to go places that you've never dreamed of. You

497
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: are going to have influence in circles that you've never imagined.

498
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: You are going to be a barrier or breaker. You're

499
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: going to take new ground for your family. You're going

500
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: to advance God's kingdom. Your gifts and talents are going

501
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: to come out in a greater way. What you've seen

502
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: God do in the past is going to pale in

503
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: comparison to what God is about to do. Get ready

508
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

510
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: repent of my sins.

515
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: that you've never dreamed of.

516
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 3: When God created the world, he did it specifically with

517
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 3: you in mind. He used his words. He spoke everything

518
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: into existence, light, oceans and dry land, plants, sun and stars, animals,

519
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 3: man and woman. Your words have that same creative power If.

521
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: five years from now, listen to what you're saying about yourself.

522
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: You are prophesying your future, and too often we don't

523
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: realize we're defeating ourselves.

524
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:48,920

526
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,720
