Speaker 4: this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.

38
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 4: I hope you enjoy this message. I want to encourage

39
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 4: you today that God has great purpose for your life.

40
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: You a whole meaning, you whole potential. You hold everything

41
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 4: you need to make this earth a better place. And

42
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 4: I want to charge us today to just reevaluate our

43
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: life and realize we are here for God's purpose and

44
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 4: God's glory. You know, sometimes It's easy to feel like

45
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 4: we're here to just go to our job, go to school,

46
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 4: have our friends, raise our family. But can I tell

47
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 4: you today, God has marked you to have an influence

48
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 4: on this earth. See you, you just being here, you

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 4: being the best you can be, using your gifts, using

50
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: your talents, and honoring God. You're making an eternal difference.

51
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 4: You are causing this earth to be enriched, and you

52
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 4: are moving the Kingdom of God forward. You see, sometimes

53
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 4: we don't appreciate what God has given us. We don't

54
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 4: understand this gift and the purpose that we're here for.

55
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: And I believe when we shake ourselves and we say listen, listen,

56
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 4: I'm not here by accident. I'm not here because my

57
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: parents wanted a baby. I'm not here just to take

58
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 4: up spaith and time on this earth. But I'm here

59
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: for an eternal reason. My being here has meaning and

60
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 4: my life matters. You see, when God looks at you,

61
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 4: he looks at you like you matter, and he wants

62
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 4: you to take what He's given you, and he wants

63
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 4: you to mix it with faith, and he wants you

64
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 4: to move forward on this earth. You see, a lot

65
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: of times we can't see what God has given us.

66
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: Let's just be really real. You know, sometimes we can't

67
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 4: see the gifts and talents. We can look at other

68
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 4: people and we can see how they excel. We can

69
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 4: see how they've got such a great personality. Oh it

70
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: seems so easy for them. They can just do this.

71
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 4: They're so creative. Oh they're so smart. How can they

72
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 4: figure all that out? We can see it in others,

73
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 4: but we can't always see it in ourselves. And see

74
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 4: when we can't see it in ourselves doesn't mean it's

75
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: not there. See, God sees it in us, because God

76
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 4: put it there. The Bible says when Jesus went to Earth,

77
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 4: he led the captives free, and he gave gifts to men.

78
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 4: Do you know He's given you gifts. We don't all

79
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 4: have the same gifts. We've got to be comfortable with

80
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 4: our gifts. We got to be able to recognize our gifts.

81
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 4: We've got to walk in those gifts and not compare

82
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 4: those gifts. We got to know that our gifts are

83
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: here for a purpose, and we've got to appreciate what

84
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 4: God has given us. I think about Moses. He was

85
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 4: raised as an Egyptian. He ended up fleeing to the wilderness,

86
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 4: and he was there for forty years. God appeared to

87
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 4: him in a burning bush one day and says, Moses,

88
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 4: I have an assignment for you. Now. God knew exactly

89
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 4: who he was talking to. He knew everything about Moses.

90
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 4: He created Moses. He saw Moses floating down the river.

91
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 4: He saw Moses when he lived in the palace. He

92
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 4: saw Moses when he was afraid and ran to the desert.

93
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 4: He knew exactly who Moses was. He knew he was

94
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 4: dealing with. He said, Moses, I want you to lead

95
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: my people out of Egypt into the Promised Land because

96
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 4: I'm doing a work and I'm going to use you

97
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 4: to do it. See it's so interesting. I can only

98
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 4: imagine Moses standing there like, really, God, it says an

99
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 4: exodent's for He literally pleaded with God. He said, no, God,

100
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 4: not me. You got the wrong man. God, I stutter,

101
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: I can't speak well, I can't carry this assignment out.

102
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 4: I'm sure he was thinking about his past. I'm sure

103
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: he was thinking about how I've been in the desert. Lord,

104
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: you don't know. I mean, you got the wrong man.

105
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 4: But God was saying, no, I've been shaping you from

106
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 4: the beginning every experience you have, every gift God placed

107
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 4: in you, has brought you for such a time as this,

108
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 4: for this assignment. And you know, God used Moses in

109
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 4: a powerful way, even though Moses couldn't see what God

110
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 4: had placed in his life. I find it very interesting.

111
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 4: In Acts seven, twenty two, hundreds of years later, after

112
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 4: Moses was dead, this is what the writer of Acts

113
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 4: wrote about Moses. Says, Moses was well educated in all

114
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 4: the wisdom of the Egyptian and he was powerful in

115
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 4: speech and action. Moses was powerful in speech and action.

116
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: That was a far cry from what he thought about himself.

117
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: It was a far crid from what he was telling God. See.

118
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 4: Isn't it interesting what he couldn't see in himself God

119
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 4: had others see. So you may not be able to

120
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 4: see your gifts, your talents, your abilities, But can I

121
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 4: tell you, if you will use them for God, let

122
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 4: God take those and turn them into supernatural abilities. People

123
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 4: will see what you have and you will accomplish great

124
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 4: things in your life. But it's up to us to

125
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 4: mix our abilities, our gifts that God's given us with

126
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 4: faith and get up every day and put one foot

127
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 4: in front of the other. Because I can tell you

128
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 4: when God asks you to do something, Can I just

129
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 4: give you a little hint right now that you probably

130
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 4: already know is not gonna be easy. God's gonna call

131
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 4: you to some hard stuff. Why God, I like easy,

132
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 4: I like comfortable. God, I like to do those things

133
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 4: that are easy for me to do. God's saying, I

134
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 4: want you to take those things that are easy for

135
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 4: you to do and those things that are difficult for

136
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 4: you to do, and I want you to give them

137
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 4: to me, because see those difficult places, that's where you grow.

138
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 4: When God speaks to those difficult places, you know what

139
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 4: he's doing. He's not being me. He's speaking to your potential.

140
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 4: He's saying, if you stay here, you're not gonna become

141
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 4: everything you were designed to be. He's not gonna call

142
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: you to the easy places. He's gonna call you to

143
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 4: some tough things. Just like Moses. You're gonna look back

144
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 4: and you're gonna go. God, you did more than I

145
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 4: could ask, think or imagine. God, You've fulfilled my life.

146
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 4: You've enriched my life. But see, all along the way,

147
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 4: we're gonna have to stir up the gifts of God

148
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 4: within us. We're gonna have to use our faith. We're

149
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 4: gonna have to believe in our abilities. The apostle Paul

150
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 4: wrote to a young man named Timothy. He wrote a

151
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 4: letter to him for two reasons, One because he loved him,

152
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 4: and two because he saw that Timothy was extremely discouraged.

153
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 4: He was facing some situations and he did not feel

154
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: like he had the ability to carry out what God

155
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 4: had called him to do. In fact, his mentor, Paul

156
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: was in prison, the mastermind of everything, and he thought,

157
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, am I ever gonna see Paul again?

158
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I need Paul. Have you ever needed someone?

159
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 4: Can you come with me? I'll do it if you

160
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: could come with me. That's probably how he felt, Paul,

161
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 4: where are you? I cannot do this by myself. I'm young,

162
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 4: you see. But Paul wanted him to know this that

163
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 4: he could. So Paul said, there's a combination, a winning combination.

164
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 4: I want to tell you about it. So we wrote

165
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 4: him a letter, and he said, Timothy, I'm writing you

166
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 4: this letter to remind you to stir up the gifts

167
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 4: of God within you by faith. But since it's Mother's Day,

168
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 4: can I back up in that letter and just tell

169
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 4: you one thing that Paul said to all of you

170
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 4: mothers out there, I don't want you to take this

171
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 4: mother to heart, because I really believe this is what

172
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 4: God's saying to you today. He's saying, he wrote this.

173
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 4: He said, Timothy, I see the faith of your grandmother

174
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 4: and of your mother, and the faith that they had

175
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 4: I am sure lives in you. What a compliment I

176
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 4: mean for a mother, that's a very good compliment. If

177
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 4: you see that I was a good example to my children.

178
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 4: He was saying, I see that you came from a

179
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 4: good example. You've learned how to lift. But then he

180
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 4: said this, Paul, I believe this faith lives in you,

181
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 4: So it's time for you to use your faith and

182
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 4: stir up your gifts. I think in essence, he was

183
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 4: really giving those mothers the greatest compliment in the world.

184
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 4: He was charging their son to say, don't live off

185
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 4: your mama's faith. God's great that you have an example,

186
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 4: but it's time to find your faith, and it's time

187
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 4: to mix it with your ability, because you've got a

188
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 4: job to do. You see, the breath of encouragement is

189
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 4: the greatest gift you can give someone's child, to say,

190
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 4: find your faith. You see, my dream would be that

191
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 4: my children would find their own faith. Yes, I've been

192
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 4: a good example, but they would find their faith, and

193
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 4: they would mix that faith with the ability and the

194
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 4: gifts that God's given them, and they would charge into

195
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 4: this world having a positive effect, an eternal result on

196
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 4: this earth. See, they're not here by accident, and neither

197
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 4: are you. They're here for a purpose. You're going to

198
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 4: go through many different seasons of life. Don't just do

199
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 4: it thinking you're getting through it. Do it with purpose

200
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 4: and destiny. Stir up the gifts. You are making waves

201
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 4: everywhere you go for God. You have an assignment. God

202
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 4: needs you. Your life matters. Invite Jesus into every area

203
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 4: of your life, inviting into your boat, so to speak.

204
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 4: You see, the first time that Jesus met Simon Peter

205
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 4: before he changed his name, he had never met him before.

206
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 4: Simon Peter didn't know Jesus. Jesus came walking up because

207
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 4: the crowds were following him and Jesus needed to push

208
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 4: back a little bit from the crowds. He saw Simon

209
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 4: Peter and his crew over their washing nets because they've

210
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: been fishing. Their boats were on the edge of the water,

211
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 4: and Jesus said I need to get in your boat,

212
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 4: Simon Peter. He said, you need to push me out

213
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 4: a little ways. And Simon Peter let him in his boat,

214
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 4: and he pushed him out, and Jesus said, I need

215
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 4: to get in that boat because see what I need

216
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 4: to do is continue the work that I am doing.

217
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 4: He was preaching to the people, but he needed a

218
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 4: little bit of break, so he needed to get in

219
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 4: Simon's Peter's boat so he could finish the work. Now,

220
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 4: Simon Peter's boat, you know what it represented. It represented

221
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 4: his office, it was his vocation, it was his livelihood.

222
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 4: He could have said to wait a minute, minute, that's

223
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 4: my boat. Can't get in the boat. That's only for fishing.

224
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 4: You know, it's real interesting. The day that Simon Peter

225
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 4: let him in his boat, that job that he had,

226
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 4: that fishing job, it became more than a job. It

227
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 4: became a calling. When he allowed him in his boat

228
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: so that Jesus could do the work, that job wasn't

229
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 4: just a job. It became a calling for Peter's life.

230
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: It became a destiny and a passion. He realized, no

231
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 4: matter if I'm fishing or if I'm all right, if

232
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 4: I'm with Jesus. I'm gonna do the work of God.

233
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 4: You see, he was a fisherman, but that call him

234
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 4: changed him into a fisher of men. God wants in

235
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 4: your boat, he wants in your school, he wants in

236
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 4: the middle of changing diapers, he wants in the middle

237
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 4: of your family. He wants to keep doing the work.

238
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 4: But guess what He's got to get in your boat

239
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 4: to finish it up. You know what. I love my mother.

240
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 4: She's here today. Happy Mother's Day. I love my doodie,

241
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 4: she's here today, Happy Mother's Day. I've watched my mother.

242
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: She's had a business in Houston for the last forty years,

243
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 4: and I've watched her take that business, that jewelry business,

244
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 4: and turn it in to a pulpit. No, she wasn't

245
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 4: called to a ministry behind a pulpit. But you know

246
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 4: what she's done. She's letting Jesus come in her boat.

247
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 4: She's always been the type of person who wanted to

248
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 4: help people, who love people, who would always be an encourager.

249
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 4: And I'll watch her from that business encourage people, invite

250
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: them to church, fuel their faith. See, she let Jesus

251
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 4: in her boat. And I was thinking about this the

252
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 4: other day. She's been in business a long time in

253
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: the city, and she's seen the economy go up, she's

254
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 4: seen the economy go down, and God's been good to her.

255
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 4: He sustained her business. He sustained it. And I believe

256
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 4: it's because he said, I still need your boat. I

257
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 4: still need your boat, and I know that you'll give

258
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 4: me your boat. Soam will keep you afloat. Can I

259
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 4: tell you when you let Jesus in your boat, he'll

260
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 4: keep you afloat. He'll keep you afloat. What an example

261
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 4: to have a mother who loves people, who wants to

262
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 4: encourage people to bring Jesus into her boat. I feel

263
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 4: a little like Timothy. I'm blessed that way. But you

264
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 4: know what, the greatest compliment to my mother and every

265
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 4: mother in here could be that me, her daughter, would

266
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 4: find my own faith, would learn from the example, but

267
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 4: find my own faith, mix it with the gifts God's

268
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 4: given me, and launch out in my boat so I

269
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 4: can let Jesus get in with me today. You want

270
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 4: to give your mom the best gift there is, find

271
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 4: your faith. Thank her for the example, but let her know, Mom,

272
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 4: because of your example, Hey, I'm finding my faith and

273
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: I almost stir at my gifts and I'm launching out

274
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,520

291
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 4: other day. She's been in business along time in the

292
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 4: city and she's seen the economy go up. She's seen

294
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 4: He sustained her business. He sustained it, and I believe

295
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 4: it's because he said, I still need your boat. I

296
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 4: still need your boat, and I know that you'll give

298
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,480

299
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 4: keep you afloat. He'll keep you afloat. What an example

300
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 4: to have a mother who loves people, who wants to

301
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 4: encourage people to bring Jesus into her boat. I feel

302
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 4: a little like Timothy. I'm blessed that way. But you

303
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 4: know what the greatest compliment to my mother and every

304
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: mother in here could be, and me, her daughter would

305
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 4: find my own faith, would learn from the example, but

306
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 4: find my own faith, mix it with the gifts God's

339

340
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 7: the stable boy became a stable man. From Whoa to Whoa,

341
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 7: two Amazon books that reading feeling awaits.
