I 17 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 3: haven't told it in ten years, that's how bad it is. 18 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 2: But here he goes. I heard about Bubba. 19 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 3: He was outside doing yard work with his weed eater 20 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 3: when he accidentally cut off his cat's tail. 21 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,319 Speaker 2: The cat was in the bushes. Bubba didn't see him. 22 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 3: He felt so badly he grabbed the tail, grabbed the cat, 23 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 3: said to his friend, I'm going to Walmart. His friend 24 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 3: said Walmart. Walmart. 25 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 2: Bubba said, hello, they're the largest retailer in the world. 26 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 3: Paul cell number is seven to one three. 27 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: Come on, say it like you mean it. This is 28 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: my Bible. 29 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 3: I am what it says I am. I have what 30 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 3: it says I have. I can do what it says 31 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 3: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 32 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 33 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 3: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In 34 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 3: Jesus's name, God bless you. I want to talk to 35 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 3: you today about breaking negative cycles. Most of the things 36 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 3: we struggle with didn't start with us. They've been passed 37 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 3: down in our family line. You don't get to choose 38 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 3: your babbles. You didn't get to pick what you'll have 39 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 3: to deal with. Just as you inherit your parents' DNA, 40 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 3: which determines your eye color, how tall you'll be, what 41 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 3: kind of hair you'll have, you also inherit attitudes, habits, 42 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 3: and behaviors from those that have gone before you. Research 43 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 3: shows how depression can be passed down, anger, low self esteem, addictions. 44 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 3: It was in your bloodline and it showed up with you. 45 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: The scripture calls this an iniquity that means a hereditary weakness. 46 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 3: I've seen families that can't get along. Parents arguing cousins, 47 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: upset siblings, bitter grandparents said at odds. 48 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: That's a spirit of strife, a spirit of division that 49 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: keeps getting passed down. I knew this young man growing up. 50 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: His father was indicted for fraud and went to prison. 51 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 3: This young man told me how his grandfather was the 52 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 3: same way. He was so upset with them, couldn't understand 53 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 3: why they'd make poor choices, why they cheat people. Twenty 54 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 3: years later, a friend called and said, did you hear 55 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 3: about so and so. He's in trouble for fraud. He 56 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 3: didn't choose it. 57 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 2: It chose him. 58 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 3: It will continue to go from generation to generation until 59 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 3: someone rises up and says, I'm going to break this 60 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 3: negative cycle. It didn't start with you. The good news 61 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 3: is it can end with you. You can be the 62 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 3: one that affects generations to come. You can make it 63 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 3: easier on your children and grandchildren. And it's good to 64 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 3: look back at your family history and see what are 65 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 3: we good at, what do we excel in? 66 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: And what are the weaknesses? Where do I see. 67 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 3: A pattern of mediocrity, compromise, and failure. 68 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: When you understand those same spirits are coming after you. 69 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: Then you can be on guard. You can be prepared. 70 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: Say no thanks, depression, You're not welcome here. No thanks. 71 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: I'm not giving into this addiction, this compromise. No thanks, 72 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 3: I'm not living inferior, insecure. 73 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 2: Angry, bitter. 74 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: Don't let that iniquity continue on. It's been in your 75 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: family line. But the reason you're hearing this is so 76 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: that you can put an end to it now. I 77 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 3: heard this phrase. It ran in my family until it 78 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: ran into me. You're the difference maker. You call to 79 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 3: set a new standard. You're the exception. Everyone in your 80 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: family was negative except you. Everyone was broke except you, 81 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 3: everyone addicted except you, everyone bitter except you. 82 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 2: I am looking at exceptional people. 83 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 3: People that stand out, people that defy the odds, people 84 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: that break barriers numbers. 85 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 2: Chapter twenty five. The Israelites had gotten off course. 86 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 3: This false prophet named Balem encouraged the Midianite women to 87 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 3: lure the Israelites into worshiping their idols. They fell right 88 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 3: into that trap. They begin feasting with the Midianites worshiping 89 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 3: the god Bail. There were all kinds of immorality and 90 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 3: compromise going on, and God was very displeased this plague 91 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 3: broke out and twenty four one thousand Israelites were killed. 92 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: Looked like that would continue on. 93 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: Moses warned the people that they needed to change, but 94 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 3: they weren't listening. One of the Israelites took a Midianite 95 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 3: woman into his tent in defiance. 96 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: Of what Moses said. 97 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 3: Everyone was standing around watching, wondering what was going to happen. 98 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: Then a young man named Phineas rose up, went into 99 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 3: the tent and put an end to it. The scripture 100 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 3: says Phineas had the courage to step in, and the 101 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 3: plague was stopped. All this compromising mediocrity, and one person 102 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 3: stepped in and said, I'm going to honor God, I'm 103 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: going to live with integrity. I'm gonna do the right thing, 104 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 3: and the plague ended. You can stop the plague in 105 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 3: your family. You can be the Phineas. There may be 106 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 3: negative baggage, people, compromising addictions, mediocrity. 107 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: It just takes one Phineas, one man, one woman, to 108 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 2: break the cycle of defeat. 109 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 3: My prayer is, God, give us Phineases, give us people 110 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 3: who will rise up, not just accept the dysfunction, not 111 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: just live with the defeat, but will have the courage 112 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 3: to make a difference, to put an end to what's 113 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: limiting us. 114 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 2: Phineas had to kill. 115 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 3: The compromise, kill the disrespect, Kill the worshiping of idols 116 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 3: was drastic, it was extreme. 117 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 2: But what you don't kill will end up killing you. 118 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 3: They're negative things in our family line that we have 119 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: to say you. 120 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: Cannot live in my life. It's symbolic. 121 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 3: You have to kill the anger, kill the addiction, kill 122 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 3: the unforgiveness. You can stop the plague, but as long 123 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: as you allow these things to live, it's going to 124 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 3: kill your dreams, kill your peace, kill your freedom, kill 125 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: your purpose. Now be a Phineas, have the courage to 126 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 3: step up. Our attitude should be. This may have been 127 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: passed down, but it's not going to get past me. 128 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: This is where it ends. 129 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 3: This is where the depression stops. This is where the addiction, 130 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: the low self esteem, the poverty mindset comes to an end. 131 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 3: Don't live with the dysfunction. Break the dysfunction. Well, nobody 132 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: in my family is successful. We just barely get by. 133 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 3: That's what was passed down to you. That's the way 134 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: it's been. But you're a Pheneus. You're putting an end 135 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 3: to that. You'll call to rise higher. You're called to 136 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 3: put a stop to that plague. But Joe, everyone in 137 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 3: my family struggles with addictions. We all compromise, we all 138 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 3: have anger issues. 139 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: That would be a good excuse to stay that way 140 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 2: if not for one thing. You're a phineus. You have 141 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 2: the courage to step in. 142 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: God is destined you to break the negative cycle, to 143 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 3: set your family on a new course, to reach levels 144 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: that you've never seen. Now, don't miss your chance. This 145 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 3: is a window of opportunity, a door that will not 146 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 3: always be open. It may be difficult, but God won't 147 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 3: ask you to do something and not give you the 148 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: grace to do it. 149 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: Your children are counting on. 150 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 3: You, your great grandchildren. Their destinies hang in the balance. 151 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 3: Will they deal with the same things you do, or 152 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 3: will you put an end to it? Will you be 153 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 3: the one to break that negative cycle and stop the plague? 154 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: I already know the answer. I'm looking at phineasis, I'm 155 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: looking at barrier breakers. 156 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 3: I'm looking at people who are called equipped and anointed. 157 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: The power in you is greater than any power that's 158 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 3: trying to stop you. You're going to feel a new 159 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 3: sense of courage. God's favor is going to be on 160 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: you in a greater way. Things you've struggled with in 161 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 3: the past are not going to be a struggle anymore. 162 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 3: Chains that have held you back are being broken. Strongholds 163 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 3: that have kept you captive are coming down. 164 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: God's going to do what you can't do on your own. 165 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,239 Speaker 3: When you stand for righteousness, when you refuse to compromise, 166 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 3: when you say no, I'm not hanging around these same 167 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 3: friends that are holding me back. When you break out 168 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: of that negative mindset and believe bigger, pray bolder, dream larger, 169 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 3: you're going to see the hand of God turn things around, 170 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 3: break addictions, bring you out of dysfunction, promote. 171 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: You the levels that you never thought possible. 172 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 3: Think about all these people living with the plague, and 173 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 3: one man rose up and did something about it. One 174 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 3: man broke that cycle that had killed twenty four thousand people. 175 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 3: How many people are going to live better off because 176 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 3: you had the courage to step up. How many of 177 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 3: your relatives will look back and say, Wow, thank God 178 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 3: for Phineas, thank God for Julie, thank God for Uncle Robert, 179 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 3: thank God for Marcella. 180 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 2: Now we're free, Now we're blessed, We're confident. Now we're 181 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 2: successful because. 182 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: You're a Phineas, because you killed what could have killed you. 183 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 3: You're impacting generations to come. You're one of those heroes 184 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 3: of faith. Well, Joel, I don't think you're talking about me. Man, 185 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 3: I'm not Phineas. I still struggle with an addiction. I 186 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 3: still have a problem with my temper. I'm still dealing 187 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 3: with poverty and lack or Let me encourage you. Phineas 188 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 3: is in you, The barrier breaker is in you. The 189 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 3: same power that raised Christ from the dead lives on 190 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 3: the inside of you. And yes, there's a battle in 191 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 3: your bloodline. The good news is you're going to win. 192 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 3: That Phineas spirit is going to rise up in a 193 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 3: new way. 194 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: You're going to put a stop to what's stopping you. 195 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: Those weaknesses that have been passed down are just what 196 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 3: they're called. They're weak. They're no match for you. A 197 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 3: friend of mine was raised in a good family. When 198 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 3: he was a toddler, his father, in his early twenties 199 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 3: got a job at a large transportation company. He was 200 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 3: at an entry level position out washing the vehicles. He's 201 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 3: a hard worker, always on time, went the extra mile. 202 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: Those were the good things that had been passed down. 203 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 3: We all have these positive attributes in our family line. 204 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 3: People that passed down courage, talent, good attitudes. The key 205 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 3: is to take the positive, build on the good things, and. 206 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: Lead the negative behind this. 207 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 3: Men's parents, grandparents there were good people, but they struggled 208 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 3: with alcohol. Over time, they both ended up becoming alcoholics. 209 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 2: That was the environment he was raised in. Well. 210 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 3: He received promotion after promotion from out washing the cars 211 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 3: to supervising the department, then head of operations. Ten years 212 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 3: later he was in senior management. Everything was going great, 213 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 3: his family was blessed. 214 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 2: But in this new. 215 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 3: Position, the people he worked with would go out several 216 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 3: times a week at lunch and drink. They called it 217 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 3: liquid lunch. Now, he never touched alcohol. Knowing what his 218 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 3: parents and grandparents struggled with, he. 219 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 2: Didn't want to seem odd like he was. 220 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 3: Too square, so he started drinking just a few times 221 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 3: a week, no big deal. He didn't realize that alcohol 222 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 3: gene was lying dormant in his DNA. He was predisposed 223 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 3: to alcoholism that was passed down to him. He made 224 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 3: the mistake of waking up that gene. He started drinking 225 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 3: more and more. 226 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 2: The scripture says, don't give the enemy a foothold. Don't 227 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 2: open the door. 228 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 3: If you crack it a little, he's going to push 229 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 3: and push. He'd love for all that negative baggage to 230 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 3: go from generation to generation. Before long, it started affecting 231 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: this father. He started showing up late for work, started 232 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 3: missing appointments. He got to where some days he wouldn't 233 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 3: come home from work, wasn't with the family anymore. God 234 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 3: so bad he lost his job, started living in shelters. 235 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 3: My friend told me how they were the perfect family, 236 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 3: living the American dream, and then alcoholism destroyed their life. 237 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 3: My friend is in the entertainment industry now, and he's 238 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 3: very successful, he said, Joel. I don't touch alcohol, not 239 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 3: because of religious reasons, but I know I'm predisposed to alcoholism. 240 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: When you look back in your family line and you 241 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: see things that have caused heartache and pain, things that 242 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 3: have kept people from their potential, it's important to recognize 243 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 3: that those genes are passed down. 244 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 2: You're predisposed to that. But here's the beauty. 245 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 3: That doesn't mean it's going to automatically happen. You get 246 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 3: to choose whether you activate that gene or whether you 247 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 3: leave it lying dormant. 248 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 2: His father activated it. 249 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 3: And it ruined his life. His son chose to leave 250 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 3: it dormant, and he's living a blessed, free, favor filled life. 251 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 2: Alcoholism ran in his family until it ran into him. 252 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 3: He was a phineas he had the courage to step 253 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 3: up and put an end to it. His attitude was 254 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 3: this alcoholism didn't start with me, but it's going to 255 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 3: stop with me. I'm the difference maker. I know some 256 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 3: of you thinking, well, Joe, it's too late for me. 257 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 3: I've already activated that gene. No, you can deactivate it. 258 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 3: You have the power to turn it off. You can 259 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 3: be the one to break the negative cycle. Now it 260 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 3: may not be alcohol for you, may be bitterness, low 261 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 3: self esteem, anger. There's a gene line dormant. Don't wake 262 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 3: it up. Don't open the door. You're gonna be tempted. 263 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 3: My friend told how in the entertainment industry, practically every event, 264 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 3: every meeting, there's alcohol. 265 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 2: People expect him to drink. 266 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 3: Ask him how he dealt with it, he said, Joel, 267 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 3: I'm bold about it. When people pressure me, I say, listen. 268 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 3: I come from a family of alcoholics. I've seen it 269 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 3: ruin their life and I'm not going to let it 270 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 3: ruin mine. When you look back at your history, there 271 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 3: may be things that are fine for other people, but 272 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 3: you know you shouldn't do it because you've been predisposed 273 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 3: to it. You don't want to wake up that gene. 274 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 3: Be aware and be diligent. Don't play with fire. Don't 275 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 3: think you can compromise just a little, be dishonest, just 276 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 3: a little, run with the wrong crowd, just a little. 277 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 2: It's not worth a chance. 278 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 3: What are you going to wake up? What genes are 279 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 3: you going to activate? God told Phineas, because you had 280 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 3: the courage to step up and stop this plague, I'm 281 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 3: going to make a covenant of peace with you. You 282 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 3: and your descendants will be priests for all time. Look 283 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 3: at how God works when you step up and put 284 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 3: an end to the plague, when you stop the negative baggage, 285 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 3: the addiction, the depression, the life. God says, I'm not 286 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 3: only going to honor you and your family, but I'm 287 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 3: going to show favor to your descendants. 288 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to place a lasting blessing on your family line. 289 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 3: I know today I'm walking in favor because of those 290 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 3: that went before me. I'm walking in blessings because I 291 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 3: had people that honored God. My father broke the negative 292 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 3: cycle of poverty. 293 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 2: In our family. 294 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 3: He was raised very poor during the Great Depression. Many 295 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 3: times they didn't have money for food or clothing. Looked 296 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 3: like that poverty spirit, that lack mentality, that defeat mindset 297 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 3: would be passed down to him. 298 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 2: But it's seventeen years old. 299 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 3: When he gave his life to Christ, the first one 300 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 3: in his family, something rose up in him. He said, 301 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 3: my children will never be raised in the poverty and 302 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 3: defeat that I'm raised in. That gene was there, but 303 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 3: he deactivated it. He was a phineas he said, this 304 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 3: plague is stopping with me. 305 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 2: He didn't just sit back. He took steps of faith. 306 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: He had to hitchhike. 307 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 3: He didn't have a car, but he went out and 308 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 3: started ministring. God opened doors made ways. My father left 309 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 3: our family blessed, successful, not just with resources, but with 310 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 3: a new mindset that our God is all powerful, that when. 311 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 2: We believe, he can take you where you've never dreamed. 312 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 3: That when you honor him, he'll open doors that no 313 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 3: person can shut. They'll give you compact centers, they'll heal 314 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 3: you from cancer. Now our children have enough negative things 315 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 3: to deal with. I don't want them predisposed to doubt, 316 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,719 Speaker 3: predisposed to fear, addictions, compromise. I want them predisposed to faith, 317 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 3: predisposed to blessings, predisposed to godliness, to integrity, to generosity. 318 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 2: I want them to succeed because of me, and not 319 00:17:58,760 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 2: in spite of me. 320 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 3: In the scripture, Isaac was very old and about the pass, 321 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 3: and he was nearly blind. He said word for his 322 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 3: son Esau to come in, and he was going to 323 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 3: give him the blessing that belonged to the firstborn son. 324 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 2: Well. 325 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 3: His wife, Rebecca loved their son, Jacob more than Esau. 326 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 3: She told Jacob to dress up like Esau, go in 327 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 3: there and pretend to be his brother so he could 328 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 3: get the best blessing. Esau was very hairy, so she 329 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 3: made Jacob some animal skin to put on his arms. 330 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 3: Jacob went in, tricked their father and received the blessing. 331 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 3: It wasn't just the mother that was deceitful. Jacob had 332 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 3: that same spirit. He was dishonest. Remember how earlier he 333 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 3: tricked his brother out of his birthright. It didn't stop there. 334 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 3: His uncle Lavian was dishonest. He tricked Jacob said he 335 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 3: was going to give him one daughter in marriage. But 336 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 3: when Jacob woke up the morning after the wedding, he 337 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 3: looked over in bed and it was the other sister. 338 00:18:59,040 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: Surprise. 339 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 3: Now, notice how that same spirit traveled through the family line. Deceit, manipulation, dishonesty, 340 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 3: that start a coincidence. That's a spirit that keeps getting 341 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 3: passed down. It just needs a phineas for someone to 342 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 3: rise up and say, no, we're not living like this. 343 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 2: I recognize what's happening. 344 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 3: I'm going to live as a person of honor, true 345 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 3: to my word, with integrity. One time Abraham had to 346 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 3: travel to a new city and his wife, Sarah was 347 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 3: very beautiful, and he was afraid that the people. 348 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 2: Would kill him so they could have her. 349 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 3: So he lied and told King Abimelech that Sarah was 350 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 3: his sister, that they weren't married. The king later found 351 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 3: out the truth. Eventually Abraham passed. Years later, his son 352 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 3: Isaac was traveling through the same city. His wife, Rebecca 353 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 3: was very beautiful. Isaac was afraid they would get rid 354 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 3: of him to have her. He told King Abimelech, the 355 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 3: same king, that Rebecca was his. 356 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 2: Sister and not his wife. 357 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 3: It's interesting how these negative traits keep getting passed down. 358 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 3: It's the same way today. It can be a spirit 359 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 3: of low self esteem. Everyone in your family feels unworthy, 360 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 3: not good enough, not attractive. Do yourself a favor, be 361 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 3: a pheneus. Put an end to it. You're made in 362 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 3: the image of God. You have royal blood flowing through 363 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 3: your veins. Turn off that unworthy, inferior gene. Let it 364 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 3: stay dormant. Maybe it's a spirit of mediocrity. No one 365 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 3: in your family can get ahead. You're not expecting anything good, Joe. 366 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 3: We're just average people. You have to get rid of 367 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 3: that spirit. It's been passed down long enough. It ran 368 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 3: in your family. The good news is it ran into you. 369 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 2: You're the Phineas. 370 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 3: Get your passion back, Start expecting to rise higher, Start 371 00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 3: declaring God's promises over your life. It's good to ask yourself, 372 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 3: why do I struggle in this area? 373 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: Why do I feel I'm not good enough? 374 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 3: Why am I drawn to compromise to addictions, to manipulation. 375 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 3: Those are battles you didn't choose, Battles that didn't start 376 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 3: with you. They were passed down, but they can stop 377 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 3: with you. 378 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 2: You can be the Phineas. It may not be easy, 379 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 2: but if you'll make a move, God will make a move. 380 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 3: If you'll take a step of faith, God will give 381 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 3: you the grace to do what you can't do on 382 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 3: your own. He's just waiting for you to rise up. 383 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 3: That may mean to forgive, to get rid of the bitterness. 384 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 3: It may mean to get help with that addiction, to 385 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 3: attend our freedom class. 386 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 2: It may mean, like my father, to have a new. 387 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 3: Mindset, to not accept defeat and mediocrity as your destiny, 388 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 3: to have a new vision, to believe that you can 389 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 3: leave your mark. 390 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 2: You have to. 391 00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 3: Deactivate those negative traits that have been passed down have 392 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 3: anything to do with it. It's an iniquity, something you inherited, 393 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 3: but God wouldn't have allowed. 394 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 2: It if it was going to keep you from your destiny. 395 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 3: You can break that negative cycle and be the one 396 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 3: to set your family on a new course. In the 397 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 3: Old Testament, God told Saul to go and kill all 398 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 3: the Amalekites, to not spare anyone or anything. Saul went 399 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 3: out and defeated the enemy, but he spared King Agag. 400 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 3: When he returned home, the prophet Samuel came, says Saul, 401 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 3: God told you to destroy the entire army, but you've 402 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 3: spared the king. Fast forward hundreds of years later, Estra 403 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 3: was in the palace. A man by the name of 404 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 3: Hayman was trying to get rid of her and all 405 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 3: the Jews. It says that Hayman was an Agite, and 406 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 3: Agite was a descendant of King a gag. If Saul 407 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 3: would have taken care of his enemy when God gave 408 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 3: him the power to do it, then Esther wouldn't have 409 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 3: this problem five hundred years later. 410 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 2: Could it be? 411 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 3: If you don't rise up and put a stop to 412 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 3: what's hindering you, then hundreds of years from now your 413 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 3: family will still be struggling with it. God is saying, 414 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,719 Speaker 3: this is your time, this is your moment. Your destiny 415 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 3: is calling out. You can either put up with it 416 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 3: and let it conquer you, or you can put your 417 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 3: foot down and say no. 418 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 2: I'm going to be a phineas. 419 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 3: I'm going to put a stop to what's holding us back. 420 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 3: I'm going to deal with this addiction, this anger, this compromise, 421 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 3: this depression. I'm not going to let my history keep 422 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 3: me from my destiny. Yes, we all have negative things 423 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 3: in our family line, but When you gave your life 424 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 3: to Christ, you became a new creation. 425 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 2: He puts some new genes in you. 426 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 3: There is strength in your genes, there is freedom in 427 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 3: your genes. 428 00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 2: There's health, abundance, victory is in your genes. Well, Joel, 429 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 2: this is encouraging. 430 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 3: But everybody in my family gets divorced. We all have addictions, 431 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 3: everyone struggles in their finances. 432 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 2: Here's the catch. 433 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 3: You're not everyone. You're the exception. You're a Foeneus. You 434 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 3: have more knowledge than they had. The favor on your 435 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 3: life is stronger, the blessing is greater, the anointing is 436 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 3: more powerful. They may have lived with it, but you 437 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 3: were raised up to put an end to it. You're 438 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 3: the difference maker. You can break that negative cycle. Eighteen 439 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 3: seventy four, a member of the New York Prison Board 440 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 3: noticed that six people from the same family were serving 441 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 3: in one of the prisons. He was intrigued by it 442 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 3: and decided to do a study. He traced their family 443 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 3: line back to a man by the name of Max Jukes. 444 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 3: He was born in seventeen twenty. He was known in 445 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 3: the town as the troublemaker, a heavy drinker, no integrity. 446 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 3: He married a woman just like him. They had six 447 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 3: two sons. Twelve hundred of their descendants were studied. Of those, 448 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 3: three hundred and ten were homeless, one hundred and eighty alcoholics, 449 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty were drug addicts. One hundred and 450 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 3: fifty became criminals that served time in prison. Another family 451 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 3: was studied that lived the wrong that same time. His 452 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 3: name was Jonathan Edwards. He was a famous theologian, the 453 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 3: president of Princeton University. He married his wife Sarah. They 454 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 3: had eleven children. He was a devoted family man that 455 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 3: honored God. Fourteen hundred of their descendants were studied. Among them, 456 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 3: thirteen were college presidents, sixty five were professors, one hundred 457 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 3: were lawyers, sixty six were physicians, eighty five were authors 458 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 3: of classic books, thirty two were state judges. Eighty were 459 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 3: holders of public office, including three US senators, three governors, 460 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 3: and one vice president of the United States. It makes 461 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 3: a difference what you're passing down. Your choices will affect 462 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 3: generations to come. 463 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 2: You may have things. 464 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:14,719 Speaker 3: In your family line that have been there for generations. Addictions, poverty, divorce, compromise. 465 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 3: It's going to say there until someone rises up and 466 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 3: puts a stop to it. 467 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 2: I'm saying you're the Phineas. 468 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 3: You're the one God is raised up to break the 469 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 3: negative cycle. 470 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 2: This is not an option. You have to kill it 471 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 2: or it will kill your dreams. It will kill your potential, 472 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 2: it will kill your purpose. 473 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 3: There's a battle in your bloodline. You didn't choose it, 474 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 3: but you can win it. The forces that are for 475 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 3: you are greater than forces that are against you. If 476 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 3: you will rise up and be a Phineas I believe 477 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 3: and declare like God did for him, there's going to 478 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 3: be a blessing on your family line. You're gonna see 479 00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 3: favor that you've never seen. Addictions are being broken, Depressions strive, 480 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 3: low self esteem. 481 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 2: You're going to rise higher and become all you were 482 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 2: created to. 483 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 3: Be in Jesus' name, if you receive it, can you 484 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 3: say amen? I'd like to give you an opportunity to 485 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 3: make Jesus the lord of your life. 486 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 2: Would you pray with me? 487 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 3: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 488 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 3: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 489 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 3: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 490 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 3: born again. We'd love to send you some information on 491 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 3: your new walk with the Lord. You can text the 492 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 3: number or go to the website. I hope you'll get 493 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 3: into a good Bible based church and keep God first place. 494 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 4: Our negative thinking can short circuit God's power and blessing 495 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 4: in our lives. When you say, I always seem to worry. 496 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 4: I can't forgive what was done to me.
