Speaker 4: your life. Well, God bless you. It's a joy to

Speaker 4: I'll promise you we'll make you feel right at home.

45
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 4: I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard

46
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 4: about this senior citizen. He was driving down the freeway

47
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 4: in his brand new Corvette with the top down, going

48
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: eighty miles an hour, when he saw flashing red lights

49
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 4: from a state trooper in his rearview mirror. Without thinking

50
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 4: about it, he floored it took off to one hundred

51
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 4: miles an hour. He heard the sirens behind him. He

52
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 4: finally pulled over, said officer, I'm so sorry. I don't

53
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 4: know what I was thinking. The state trooper said, listen,

54
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: it's Friday, four o'clock. My shift is over in thirty minutes.

55
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: If you tell me a reason why you're speeding that

56
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 4: I've never heard before, then I'll let you go. The

57
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 4: man thought about it, said officer. Years ago, my wife

58
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 4: ran off with a state trooper, and I thought you

59
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 4: were bringing her back. The officer said, have a great

60
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 4: weekend like you mean it. This is my Bible. I

61
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 4: am what it says I am. I have what it

62
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: says I have. I can do what it says I

63
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 4: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God.

64
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 4: I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

65
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

66
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

67
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 4: peace with yourself. Too many people go around feeling wrong

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 4: on the inside. They don't really like who they are.

69
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 4: They focus on their faults, weaknesses. They're constantly critical toward themselves.

70
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: That recording of everything they've done wrong is always playing

71
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: in their mind. You're impatient. You blew your diet yesterday,

72
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 4: you lost your temper. You're still struggling with that addiction.

73
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 4: You should be ashamed of yourself. They wonder why they're

74
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 4: not happy. It's because they have this war going on

75
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: on the inside. You're not supposed to go through life

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: feeling wrong about yourself. Quit focusing on your faults. Quit

77
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 4: over analyzing your weaknesses. Quit beating yourself up because you're

78
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 4: not where you thought you would be. Here's the key.

79
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 4: You're not a finished product. God is still working on you.

80
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 4: The scripture says God changes us from glory to glory.

81
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 4: You have to learn to enjoy the glory that you're

82
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 4: in right now. You may have some weaknesses. We all do.

83
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 4: There may be some areas where you know you need

84
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 4: to improve. But being down on yourself is not going

85
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 4: to help you do better. Having that nagging feeling telling

86
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 4: you you don't measure up. God's not pleased with you. You'll

87
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 4: never get it right. It's not going to help you

88
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 4: move forward. You have to accept yourself right where you are,

89
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 4: faults and all. God is the potter, we are the clay.

90
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 4: He's the one making you and molding you. It may

91
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 4: not be happening as fast as you like, but you

92
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 4: don't control the timetable. Will you trust him in the process?

93
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 4: Will you accept yourself in the glory that you're in

94
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 4: right now? The problem with not liking yourself is you're

95
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 4: the only person that you can never get away from.

96
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: You can get away from your boss, you can get

97
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 4: away from your neighbor, you can get away from that

98
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 4: crazy uncle, but you can never get away from you.

99
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 4: You wake up with you, you take a shower with you,

100
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 4: you go to work with you, you even go on

101
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 4: vacations with you. If you don't like you, life is

102
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 4: going to be very miserable. Don't go around being against yourself.

103
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 4: You may have some things wrong with you, but can

104
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 4: I tell you you have a lot more right with you.

105
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 4: You may have a long way to go, but if

106
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 4: you look back, you'll see how far you've already come.

107
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 4: Keep your flaws in perspective. Every person has something they're

108
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 4: dealing with. You may see some one that look further along.

109
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 4: They look like they've got it all together. They're happy,

110
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: enjoying their life, but they're on the Potter's will. The

111
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 4: reason they're not upset, the reason they're not down on themselves,

112
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 4: is they've learned this principle to enjoy where you are

113
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 4: while God is in the process of changing you. We

114
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: think I'm going to feel good about myself as soon

115
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 4: as I lose this ten pounds, as soon as I

116
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 4: break this addiction, as soon as I control my mouth,

117
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 4: then I'll get rid of the guilt, the heaviness. I'm

118
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 4: asking you to feel good about yourself right where you are.

119
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 4: If you don't understand this, you will go through life

120
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 4: not liking yourself. Because as soon as you overcome this weakness,

121
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 4: you cross this off your list, God will show us

122
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: something else that we need to improve it. It will

123
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 4: be a never ending cycle. I talked to a man recently.

124
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: He said, Joel, you're so calm and good natured. Do

125
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 4: you ever get upset? Do you ever lose your temper.

126
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 4: And this is an area that I've never struggled in,

127
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: always been easygoing. My mother tells people she's never seen

128
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 4: me angry a day in my life. Well, God gives

129
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 4: us grace in different areas. When I told him that,

130
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 4: he shook his head and said, man, I don't know

131
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 4: what's wrong with me. I get upset so easily. I've

132
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 4: done this my whole life. I told him what I'm

133
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 4: telling you. As long as you're down on yourself, feeling

134
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 4: like you don't measure up, you can't get it right.

135
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 4: That's not only going to keep you from enjoying your life,

136
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 4: but it's going to keep you from improving. You have

137
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 4: to give yourself a break. You're on the potter's will.

138
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 4: You can't change yourself. God has to give you the

139
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: grace to change. It takes a mature person to accept

140
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 4: who you are to be at peace on the inside,

141
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 4: even though you have some areas need to improve in.

142
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: It's easy to stay negative toward yourself down you can't

143
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 4: get it right. But when you make this decision to

144
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 4: accept yourself faults in awe, instead of beating yourself up,

145
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 4: you have the attitude no, I'm not perfect. I have

146
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 4: some areas I need to improve in, But God, I

147
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: want to thank you for the glory that I'm in

148
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 4: right now. I know you're the potter. I'm going to

149
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 4: stay on this will and keep being my best, knowing

150
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: on your timetable that you will change me. This is

151
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 4: what allows God to work, not always beating yourself up.

152
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 4: The Scripture says in Hebrews, looking away from all that

153
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 4: will distract to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

154
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: You have to look away from your faults, look away

155
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 4: from your shortcomings. Focusing on your weaknesses will distract you

156
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 4: from your purpose. Always thinking about how you don't measure

157
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 4: up will distract you from the good things God has

158
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 4: in store. This doesn't mean we don't try to improve.

159
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 4: It means you don't let that heaviness weigh you down

160
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 4: to where you think that there's something wrong with you.

161
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 4: One of the worst mistakes you could make is to

162
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 4: go through life being against yourself. Some people live with

163
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 4: this nagging feeling that's always telling them you're not attractive enough,

164
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 4: you're not disciplined enough. You still have that addiction, you'll

165
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 4: never get it right. They've heard that playing in their

166
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 4: minds so long that it's become normal. Why don't you

167
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 4: turn off that negative recording? Why don't you quit thinking

168
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 4: about everything wrong with you and start thinking about what's

169
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 4: right with you. You may have some areas you still struggle

170
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 4: in join the crowd. We all do. There's not one

171
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 4: perfect person in here. What I'm saying is it's okay

172
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 4: to feel good about who you are while you're in

173
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 4: the process of changing. Somebody asked me the other day,

174
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 4: what is the one thing I would change about myself

175
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 4: if I could? And I don't mean this to sound arrogant,

176
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 4: but I couldn't think of anything. And yes, there are

177
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 4: plenty areas I need to improve in. Here's my point.

178
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 4: I don't sit around thinking about everything wrong with me.

179
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 4: I don't have on the forefront of my mind my flaws.

180
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 4: My weakness is my shortcomings. I don't go through the

181
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 4: day reliving my failures, beating myself up for past mistakes,

182
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 4: letting that negative recording remind me of everything that I'm not.

183
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 4: I say this with humility. I like myself. I'm happy

184
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: with who I am. I'm proud of who God made

185
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 4: me to be. Again, I'm not bragging on me I'm

186
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 4: bragging on the goodness of God. I know I'm the

187
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 4: apple of his eye. I know I'm a masterpiece. I

188
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 4: know I'm a prize possession, fearfully and wonderfully made. And yes,

189
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 4: I have shortcomings, but I'm on the Potter's will. I'm

190
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 4: a work in progress. God has his own timetable while

191
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 4: he's changing me. I'm going to feel good about who

192
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 4: I am. I'm gonna keep my head held high and

193
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 4: enjoy my life knowing that God will get me to

194
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 4: where I'm supposed to be very powerful. When you can

195
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 4: say I like who I am, I feel good about myself.

196
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 4: I'm proud of who God made me to be. Most

197
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 4: people can't do this. They say I would feel good

198
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 4: about myself if I didn't have these weaknesses. I would

199
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 4: be happy with who I am. If I was a

200
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 4: better parent, if I was more patient, if I wasn't

201
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: so jealous or joel. I would hold my head up high,

202
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 4: if I hadn't made these mistakes, if I hadn't blown

203
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 4: that relationship. There will always be some reason why you

204
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: shouldn't feel good about who you are. The accuser will

205
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 4: make sure to remind you of something that you're not

206
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: you and right some area you're not up to par,

207
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 4: some way that you failed. If you're going to live

208
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 4: in victory, you have to put your foot down and

209
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 4: say that's it. I'm done being against myself. I'm done

210
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 4: feeling wrong on the inside. I'm done focusing on my weaknesses.

211
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 4: I know I'm a child of the most tied God, redeemed, restored, forgiven.

212
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: God is taking me from glory to glory. So I'm

213
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 4: going to look away from all that distracts and I'm

214
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 4: going to enjoy the glory that I'm in right now now.

215
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 4: When you do this, don't be surprised if every voice

216
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 4: tells you you're a hypocrite. You can't feel good about yourself. Man,

217
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 4: you still struggle, you still have that weakness. This is

218
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 4: when you have to have the boldness to say, yes,

219
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 4: that's true. But I'm on the Potter's will, I'm growing,

220
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 4: I'm changing. In the meantime, I feel good about me.

221
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 4: Your destiny is too important to let that heaviness weigh

222
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 4: you down. Your time is too valuable to sit around

223
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 4: thinking about everything that's wrong with you. That's taking your joy,

224
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 4: your energy, your creativity, your anointing. Start looking away from

225
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 4: all of that. You're on the Potter's will. You're not

226
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 4: going to change overnight. It's going to happen little by little.

227
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 4: But if you're always down on yourself because you're not

228
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 4: far enough along, you're not growing as fast as you

229
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: would like, you'll live frustrated. It's very freeing when you

230
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 4: can be happy with who you are, even though you

231
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 4: have some areas that you still need to improve in.

232
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 4: Think about the Apostle Paul. He said, the things I

233
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 4: want to do, I don't do. The things I don't

234
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 4: want to do, I end up doing it. He wasn't perfect.

235
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 4: He still struggled in some areas. If he would have

236
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 4: been down on himself, thinking why can't I get it right,

237
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 4: he wouldn't have written almost half of the New Testaments.

238
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 4: He wouldn't have become one of the heroes of faith.

239
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 4: You don't have to have it all together in order

240
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 4: to do something great. If you're waiting till you overcome

241
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 4: all your weaknesses till you perform perfectly, then you're going

242
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 4: to feel good about yourself. You'll be waiting your whole life.

243
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: There are some weaknesses that God leaves on purpose, so

244
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 4: we have to depend on him otherwise we would think

245
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 4: we could do it all in our own strength. What

246
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 4: I'm saying, why don't you start feeling good about yourself

247
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 4: right where you are. If Paul can write almost half

248
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 4: of the New Testament with flaws and weaknesses, then you

249
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 4: can accomplish your dreams with what you're dealing with. And

250
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 4: when you're on the Potter's will, you are the most pliable,

251
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 4: the easiest to work with. When you're at peace with yourself,

252
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 4: not upset, angry on the end side, disappointed because you're

253
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 4: not where you think you should be. All that's doing

254
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 4: is slowing down the process the right attitude. I may

255
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: have some things wrong with me, but I'm at peace.

256
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 4: I know I'm on the way. I'm in the process,

257
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 4: and what God started in my life He's going to finish.

258
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: Jeremiah said, before you were formed in your mother's womb,

259
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 4: God knew you and approved you. Doesn't say he approves

260
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 4: you as long as you don't make any mistakes. He

261
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: approves you as long as you perform perfectly, as long

262
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 4: as you don't have any weaknesses. He approved you before

263
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 4: you got here in your mother's womb. This means he

264
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 4: approves you with those weaknesses. He approves you in spite

265
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 4: of those shortcomings. You're not a surprise to God. He

266
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 4: knows the end from the beginning. He knew every area

267
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 4: you would ever struggle with. That's why he has you

268
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 4: on the potter's will. That's why he's changing you from

269
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 4: glory to glory. You're not defective. You're not a mistake.

270
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 4: When God created you, he called you a masterpiece. He

271
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 4: stepped back and said that was good. You may have

272
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 4: some flaws and weaknesses. Those voices will try to convince

273
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 4: you to live down on yourself, thinking God's not gonna

274
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 4: bless me. Joel, you don't know what I struggle with.

275
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 4: I'll never get it right. Don't believe those lies. Before

276
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 4: you showed up on planet Earth, God already approved you.

277
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 4: My challenge is, since God approves you, why don't you

278
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 4: start approving yourself? Why don't you start feeling good about

279
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: who you are? A lot of times we think we

280
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 4: can't feel good about ourselves until we do everything right.

281
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 4: If we resist the temptation, if we bite our time,

282
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 4: if we're more patient, then we believe God will approve us,

283
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 4: then he'll be pleased. But the truth is there's nothing

284
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 4: you can do to make God love you anymore. His

285
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 4: approval is not based on your performance, It's based on

286
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 4: your relationship. He hand picked you, He chose you before

287
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 4: you could choose him. When you understand that the creator

288
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 4: of the universe approves you, you won't go around down

289
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 4: on yourself because you're not where you thought you should

290
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 4: be trying to gain God's approval by performing perfectly, never

291
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 4: making a mistake. You know you already have his approval.

292
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,479
Speaker 4: This takes the pressure off. You can relax knowing that

293
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 4: you're on the Potter's will, that he's making you and

294
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 4: molding you. When those thoughts come try to push you down,

295
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 4: tell you you're not far enough along, you should feel bad

296
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 4: about yourself. You can say no, thanks. I know God

297
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 4: approves me, so I'm going to approve myself. I'm going

298
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 4: to feel good about who I am. Paul said Ephesians

299
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 4: to put on the breastplate of God's approval. Every morning

300
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 4: when you get up, you should say Father, thank you

301
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 4: that you approve me, thank you that you are pleased

302
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 4: with me. You have to put it on. It's not

303
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 4: going to automatically happen. Thoughts will try to convince you

304
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 4: that you don't deserve God's blessing, and you made that

305
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 4: mistake last week. You still struggle with your temper. You

306
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 4: failed yesterday. If you're not putting this on, you'll start

307
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 4: living guilty, feeling unworthy, like you don't deserve God's blessings.

308
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 4: This is the reason many people live with the heaviness,

309
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 4: that feeling that there's something wrong with them. They're not

310
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 4: putting on the breastplate of God's approval. It's the breastplate,

311
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 4: meaning that it covers your heart, your most important area

312
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 4: where you live out of You may have plenty of

313
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 4: areas that you still struggle in, but being against yourself

314
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 4: is not going to help you do better. Living condemned,

315
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 4: feeling like you're unworthy, you don't deserve God's blessing. That's

316
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 4: going to cause you to get stuck. You have to

317
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 4: put on disapproval, talking about in your thoughts all through

318
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 4: the day. God is pleased with me. He's at work

319
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 4: in my life. I'm not perfect, but I'm forgiving. I

320
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 4: have these weaknesses, but I'm on the potter's will. He's

321
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 4: making me, he's molding me. I'm coming up higher. Thoughts

322
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 4: will say you can't feel good about yourself. You still

323
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 4: struggle in that area. Just to answer back, yes, that's true.

324
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 4: But disapproval is not based on how good I am.

325
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 4: It's based on how good God is. He approved me

326
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 4: before I showed up. He accepted me in spite of

327
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 4: my shortcomings. So I'm going to start putting on disapproval.

328
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 4: Remember when Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by

329
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 4: John the Baptist, a voice boomed out of the heaven

330
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 4: saying this, this is my beloved son in whom I

331
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 4: am well pleased. What's interesting up to that point, Jesus

332
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 4: hadn't performed one miracle, hadn't opened any blind eyes, hadn't

333
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 4: turned water into wine, hadn't raised Lazarus from the dead.

334
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 4: Yet his father said, I am well pleased with him.

335
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 4: It's this same principle. God was pleased with him because

336
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 4: of who he was, and not because of anything he

337
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 4: had done. We think, if I can get rid of

338
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 4: this bad habit, if I can bite my tongue and

339
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 4: not argue so much, if I can be more disciplined

340
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 4: in what I watch, then God will be pleased with me.

341
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 4: The fact is God is well pleased with you right now.

342
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 4: He may not be pleased with all your behavior. But

343
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 4: he is pleased with you. He's already approved you, he's

344
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 4: already called you a masterpiece. But if you listen to

345
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 4: these condemning voices you don't think you measure up, you'll

346
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 4: never get it right. Then you'll start living guilty, condemned,

347
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: feeling wrong on the inside. Why don't you start putting

348
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 4: on this approval knowing that God is well pleased with you.

349
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 4: A lot of people think just the opposite, that God

350
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 4: is out to get them. He's waiting for you to

351
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 4: make the next mistake so he can push you down

352
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 4: even further. That's not how our God is. When you

353
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 4: go through the day saying Father, thank you that you

354
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 4: are pleased with me, thank you that you have approved me,

355
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 4: thank you you've already accepted me. Thoughts will tell you

356
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 4: who do you think you are? Just answer back, a

357
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 4: child of the Most High God, redeemed, restored, accepted and approved.

358
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 4: Are you putting on your breastplate of approval or are

359
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 4: you wearing rags of condemnation, unworthiness, guilt. Do you believe

360
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 4: that God is well pleased with you or you're trying

361
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 4: to gain his approval by performing perfectly as a parent.

362
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 4: Our children make mistakes, they have weaknesses, but we know

363
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 4: they're growing, they're learning, they're making progress. If you were

364
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 4: to ask me if I was pleased with my children,

365
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 4: first thing I would do is not make a list

366
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 4: of all their mistakes. I wouldn't tell you everything they've

367
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 4: done wrong the last three months. I wouldn't have to

368
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 4: think twice. I would say, yes, I am very pleased.

369
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 4: They're great children. I would make a list of everything

370
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 4: I like about them. They're loving, kind, talented, fun, attractive.

371
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 4: That's the way God thinks of you. He's not focusing

372
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 4: on your faults, looking at everything that you've done wrong,

373
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 4: making a list of your shortcomings. He's focusing on what

374
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 4: you're doing right. He's looking at how you're growing, how

375
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 4: you're making progress, how you're not where you used to be. Well, Joel,

376
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 4: what about this weakness? I've had it for many years?

377
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 4: Surprise to God. He's not thinking, oh boy, they're wearing

378
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 4: me out. I'm done with them. He's saying, that's my

379
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 4: beloved son, that's my beloved daughter in whom I am well, Please,

380
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 4: why don't you shake off the guilt, Why don't you

381
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 4: quit feeling wrong on the inside? The right attitude is

382
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 4: I'm going to accept myself while God is in the

383
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 4: process of changing me. I'm going to be happy with

384
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 4: who I am, even though I still have some areas

385
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 4: I need to improve in the Enemy does not want

386
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 4: you to feel good about who you are. Nothing He

387
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 4: would love anymore than you to go through life feeling

388
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 4: wrong on the inside. Don't fall into that trap. Take

389
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 4: off the rags of unworthiness and start putting on your

390
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 4: breastplate of God's approval. The most important relationship you have

391
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 4: is your relationship with yourself. If you don't get along

392
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 4: with you, you won't be able to get along with anybody else.

393
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 4: It will affect every relationship, including your relationship with God.

394
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 4: If you're living guilty, condemned, feeling unworthy, you won't go

395
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 4: to God with boldness. You won't ask him for your dreams.

396
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 4: You won't ask him for the supersized life that belongs

397
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 4: to you. And this is the reason that many people

398
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 4: can't get along. They don't like themselves. They're insecure, they're bitter,

399
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 4: they're defensive. It fills over into every other relationship. Jesus

400
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 4: said it this way. Love your neighbor as you love yourself.

401
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 4: You can't love your neighbor. If you don't first love yourself,

402
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 4: you can't give away something that you don't have. And

403
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 4: if you don't have a healthy respect for yourself, If

404
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 4: you're not putting on disapproval each day knowing that you're

405
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 4: a masterpiece, knowing that you're made in the image of God,

406
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 4: then you'll start focusing on your faults, your shortcomings. You'll

407
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 4: end up insecure, inferior. That will cause you to struggle

408
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 4: in relationships. The scripture says our faith is made effective

409
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 4: when we acknowledge everything good. If you're acknowledging everything you

410
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 4: don't like about you, your flaws, your shortcomings, your failures,

411
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 4: your faith is not going to be effective. That's going

412
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 4: to cause you to get stuck. You have enough to

413
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 4: overcome in life as it is. Don't go around against yourself.

414
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 4: Quit taking inventory of everything you don't like. Sometimes we

415
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 4: spend more time looking at what's wrong with us then

416
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 4: we do what's right with us. Should be just the opposite.

417
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 4: Start acknowledging the good. Let me help you. You came

418
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 4: to church today. That was good. You turned on the program.

419
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 4: That was good. You were patient in traffic last week,

420
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 4: that was good. You were kind to that stranger. You

421
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 4: overlooked an insult. That was good. There's a lot right

422
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 4: about you. Even physically, we tend to focus on what

423
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 4: we don't like. And I'm so old, I'm so wrinkled.

424
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 4: I wish I was taller. Where did my hair go? Listen?

425
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 4: Turn it around instead of being critical. I am fearfully

426
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 4: and wonderfully made. I am one of a kind. I

427
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 4: am a masterpiece. Something powerful happens when you say I

428
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 4: like who I am. Not perfect, have some shortcomings, but

429
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 4: I'm growing, I'm changing, and God, since you approve me,

430
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 4: I'm going to approve myself. When you do this. In

431
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 4: the unseen realm, chains are broken, chains of guilt, chains

432
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 4: of low self esteem, chains of inferiority. When you are

433
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 4: for yourself, you are in agreement with God. Some people

434
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 4: have never once said I like myself. I like my gifts,

435
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 4: I like my personality, I like my looks. I'm happy

436
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 4: with who God made me to be. Well, George, I'm

437
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 4: not gonna say I like myself. That's weird. But if

438
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 4: you don't like yourself in a healthy way, other people

439
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 4: are not going to like you. You project what you

440
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 4: believe on the inside. If you feel wrong about yourself.

441
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 4: You project inferiority, unfriendliness, discontentment. I'm asking you to feel

442
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 4: good about who you are. You may not be where

443
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 4: you want to be, but you're on the way. God

444
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 4: is changing you from glory to glory. Start enjoying the

445
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 4: glory that you're in right now. You may have some weaknesses.

446
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 4: We all do. Don't you dare go through life against yourself.

447
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 4: God is saying, today you are my beloved son, my

448
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 4: beloved daughter, and who I am well pleased. Now do

449
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 4: your part. Start putting on the breastplate of God's approval

450
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 4: each morning. If you'll do this, I believe and declare

451
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 4: every chain that's holding you back is being broken. God

452
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 4: is going to keep making you and molding you. You're

453
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 4: going to come up higher, overcome those obstacles, and become

454
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 4: everything He's created you to be. In Jesus' name, if
