1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 2: the ministry.

4
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 3: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a

5
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 3: blessing and share it with a.

6
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 2: Friend, reappreciate you and pray for God's very best in

7
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: your life.

8
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: God bless you.

9
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: It's great to be with you today, and I hope

10
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our

11
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media, and you can

12
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: come visit us in person. We'd love to have you

13
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: be a part of one of our services.

14
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: I'd like to start it with.

15
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: Something funny, and I heard about this kindergarten teacher. She

16
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: was trying to explain to her students about self esteem.

17
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: She said to her class, anyone who feels like you're dumb,

18
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: please stand up. She didn't think anyone would stand, and

19
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 2: she'd make the point how no one is dumb. About

20
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: that time, little Johnny stood up. Shed ah, No, Now

21
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: what am I gonna do?

22
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: She said?

23
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: Now, Johnny, do you really feel like you're dumb? He

24
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: said no, ma'am. I just hate to see you standing

25
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: there all by yourself.

26
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

27
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what

28
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: it says I have.

29
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: I can do what it says I can do. Today

30
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: I will be talked to word of God. I'll boldly

31
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I

32
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

33
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you today about refusing negative seeds.

34
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: We all have.

35
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: Voices that are trying to keep us from our destiny.

36
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: And sometimes it's people telling us what we can't become

37
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: and how we're not going to accomplish the dream. It

38
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: may be experts, they have all the training, all the skills.

39
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: They're telling us the facts. Medical science says you're not

40
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: going to get well or you don't have the qualifications

41
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: for this position. You watch the news and you hear

42
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: all the comments about the economy and inflation, division viruses.

43
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: This can bring fear and worrying what's going to happen.

44
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: Words are like seeds.

45
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 2: If you dwell on them long enough, they'll take root

46
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: and become a reality. The good news is you get

47
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: to choose what gets planted in your soil.

48
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: The scripture says to guard your mind.

49
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: That's saying, don't let just any seed get in there,

50
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 2: be selective. If that seed is negative, discouraging, bringing fear,

51
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: pushing you down, don't give it the time of day.

52
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: You need to say no thanks. I refuse that seed.

53
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: I'm not letting that defeat take root in my soil.

54
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: And sometimes people don't realize they're doing it. I'm sorry

55
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: about that diagnosis. My grandmother died of the same thing.

56
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: I wouldn't take that new position if I were you.

57
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: It's way over your head. Are you still single? I

58
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: don't know if you're ever going to meet anyone. Do

59
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: yourself a favor. Let that go in one ear and

60
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: out the other. If you start dwelling.

61
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: On it, what if I don't get well?

62
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: Maybe this is over my head. I'm worried that I'm

63
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: not going to meet someone. You're giving that seed permission

64
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 2: to become a reality. Don't let the doubt from other

65
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: people keep you from your destiny. You have to tune

66
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: out all the negative. Can't do it. Not able never

67
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: going to happen.

68
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: Limiting words. They may speak that, but you don't have

69
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: to receive it. If you don't dwell on it, those

70
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 1: words will die stillborn. They will have no effect on you.

71
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: Victoria and I were at a restaurant one time, and

72
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: our son, Jonathan, was six months old, and he was

73
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: laying in a little carrier in the seat next to me.

74
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: About thirty minutes later, this older couple got up to.

75
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: Leave, and they came over to our table.

76
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: The lady said, we were just admiring your little baby

77
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: in how good he is, how he just lies there

78
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: so peaceful and quiet, and we thank them. Then the

79
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: husband said, but just wait till he gets to be

80
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: two years old.

81
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: He'll turn into a tyrant.

82
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: You better enjoy it now because he's going to be

83
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: a lot of trouble. Those terrible twos are coming. We

84
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: just waved and said goodbye. Thought don't let the door

85
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: hit you as you leave. Something rows up in me.

86
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: I told Victoria, I don't receive that. He doesn't determine

87
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: our future. His opinion is not our reality. Not going

88
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 2: to be the terrible twos, going to be the terrific twos,

89
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: the awesome threes, the fabulous fours. Don't get in agreement

90
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: with negative things people speak over you. What they're saying

91
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: may be true for a lot of people, but you're

92
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: the exception. You're the one to have awesome children. You're

93
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: the one to get well where the medical report says

94
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: you want. You're the one to break the addiction, to

95
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: take your family to a new level, to see favor

96
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: that people could never imagine. If this is going to happen,

97
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: you have to be selective in what gets planted in

98
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: your soil. When these negative seeds come, it's real easy.

99
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: Refuse it.

100
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: Don't dwell on it, don't go around talking about it.

101
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 2: Don't start expecting it to happen. Keep your mind filled

102
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: with positive, hopeful, faithful thoughts. David was seventeen years old

103
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 2: when he heard Goliath taunting the Israelites. This giant stood

104
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: over nine feet tall, and he was the champion of

105
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: the Philistine army. None of the Israelites dared to face

106
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 2: him when he came.

107
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: Out shouting his threats. They all ran and hid well.

108
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: David was half his size, he had no.

109
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: Training, no armor, but he went to King Saul and

110
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: told him that he wanted to face Goliath. Saul said

111
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: to David in first Samuel seventeen, David, don't be ridiculous.

112
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: You're just a boy. He's been a warrior since he

113
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: was a youth. He was saying David, what are you thinking.

114
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: You don't have a chance, You're too small, you're not qualified.

115
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: This is way over your head.

116
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: Whenever you're on the verge of a new level, negative

117
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: seeds will come to try to talk you out of it.

118
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: David had a choice to let those words take root.

119
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm just a boy, I'm not up to par I

120
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: can't do this. Or was he going to guard his mind,

121
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: not let the doubt.

122
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 2: The inferiority, the opinion of Saul talk him out of

123
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: his destiny.

124
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: This was a defining moment. David could have walked away,

125
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: went back home. He could have missed who.

126
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: God created him to be had he not learned this principle.

127
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: And we see David defeating Goliath as the great victory,

128
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: and that's when God took him to a new level.

129
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: But the real victory took place when he didn't let

130
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: Saul's demeaning words keep him from stepping up. Had he

131
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: not refused the negative seeds, he would have never made

132
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: it to Goliath. Before you conquer your giant, before you

133
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 2: reach a new level, there will be a Saul trying

134
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: to discourage you, a Saul telling you you can't get well, man,

135
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: you can't start your business. You'll never break that addiction,

136
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 2: You'll never meet the right person. Your real victory is

137
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: when you refuse the doubt, refuse what the naysayers are

138
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: telling you. You have to win the battle in your

139
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: mind before you'll defeat your giants. Too many people get

140
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: talked out of ever seeing their Goliath because they listen

141
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: to Saul. You would think that Saul would be excited

142
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: that someone finally stepped up.

143
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: To fight Goliath.

144
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: He had been taunting the Israelites for forty days. Now

145
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: this young man, David had the courage to take him on.

146
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: Surely Saul would say, that's awesome, David, you can do this.

147
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: We're all behind you. But when God puts big things

148
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: in your heart, don't expect everyone to cheer your own.

149
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: Don't expect all your friends, all your family to encourage you,

150
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: tell you how great you are.

151
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: That's when the Sauls will show up.

152
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: People that cast negative seeds try to get you to

153
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: doubt and second guess yourself, discredit you, make you feel small,

154
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: like you don't measure up. Don't let those seeds take root.

155
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: People don't determine your destiny.

156
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: God does. When he called you, he didn't check with people.

157
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: He didn't consult with your friends, your neighbors, your boss,

158
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: your family, or your enemies to decide if they think

159
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: you can do it.

160
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: Are you big enough, smart enough, talented enough. He put

161
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: things in you that other people can't see. Don't get

162
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: upset with them if they think you can't do it.

163
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: You're just a boy. You don't come from the right family.

164
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: They're looking at the outside. They're judging from a human

165
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 2: point of view. But God has put things in you.

166
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: That will defy the odds.

167
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: His favor will cause you to go places you could

168
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: never go on your own. They may think all you

169
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 2: have is a slingshot. You don't have a chance. What

170
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: they can't see is that slingshot, with the blessing of

171
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: God will bring down giants. It's just a boy, yes,

172
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: but a boy with the favor of God can become

173
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 2: the King of Israel. God wouldn't have allowed the giant

174
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: if you weren't well able to defeat it.

175
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: The giant is a sign that a new level is coming.

176
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: But here's the key.

177
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: Before that happens, King Saul will show up. The real

178
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 2: test is not Goliath. The real test is Saul. The

179
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: negative words, the doubt, the fear, the insecurity, trying to.

180
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: Get you to question yourself.

181
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: Question whether you really heard God, Question if you really.

182
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: Have what it takes.

183
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: Dismiss the doubt, refuse those negative seeds.

184
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: You're at a defining moment.

185
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: You're on the verge of stepping to a new level,

186
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,599
Speaker 2: the verge of seeing God do something.

187
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: You've never seen.

188
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: Are you gonna shrink back and let people's opinion talk

189
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 2: you out of it, let the fear the doubt take root,

190
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: or you're gonna do like David, dismiss it and move

191
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: forward to end faith into the awesome future God has

192
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: in store. When my father passed in nineteen ninety nine,

193
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 2: i'd only ministered one time and worked behind the scenes

194
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: for seventeen years. I never wanted to be up in

195
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: front of people. I liked being in the background. But

196
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: I knew that I was supposed to step up and

197
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: pasture the church, and it didn't make sense to my mind.

198
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: I didn't have the training, and I wasn't necessarily qualified,

199
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: and I didn't have a big personality like my father.

200
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: But I took that step of faith, and I started.

201
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: Speaking on the weekends, and I was so nervous and

202
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: so unsure of myself.

203
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: I would finish one message and.

204
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: Walk off the platform so relieved, and the next thought

205
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: would come, what are you going to speak on next week?

206
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 2: What if you have nothing to say? What if no

207
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 2: one comes? What if people don't like you? What if

208
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: the church goes down? The enemy loves to bring the

209
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 2: what ifs? Have you noticed it's always the worst case scenario.

210
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: What if that pain in your little toe is cancer?

211
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: What if your company lays you off and you can't

212
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: pay your bills?

213
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: What if your child doesn't pass that class?

214
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: These negative seeds, it cause worrying, anxiety when.

215
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: You can't really enjoy your life.

216
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 2: Instead of letting them take root, why don't you turn

217
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: the what ifs around and dwell on the best case scenarios.

218
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: Dwell on something hopeful, something that builds your faith. What

219
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: if no one comes? What if the church explodes? What

220
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: if you never get well? What if you recover and

221
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: feel better than ever? What if your child doesn't pass?

222
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 2: What if he makes the honor law? What if you

223
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: never meet anyone? What if they show up this week?

224
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: What if you get laid off, What if you get

225
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: a promotion, What if you start your business. What if

226
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: you step into abundance and favor that you've never seen.

227
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: Quit letting the negative play in your mind.

228
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: You choose which seeds get planted in your soil.

229
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: You have to take control of your thought life.

230
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: A few weeks after I started ministering, I was in

231
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: the front lobby after the service. I just come off

232
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: the platform and I was walking behind these two ladies.

233
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: They didn't know I was there. I overheard them talking.

234
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: One said he's not as.

235
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: Good as his father.

236
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: The other answered about yeah, I don't think the church

237
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: is going to make it. I was already insecure, worried

238
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 2: about what people thought, wondering.

239
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: Was I good enough.

240
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: That was like the worst thing that could have happened.

241
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: When I heard that, I felt fears shoot through my body,

242
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: almost like a panic.

243
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's not going to work out. I don't

244
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: have what it takes.

245
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: As I was processing it all, something rose up in me,

246
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: like waking up a sleeping lion. I felt a boldness,

247
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: a confidence, a power that I had never felt before.

248
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: I thought to myself, you ladies don't know who I am,

249
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: and you don't know what God put in me. You

250
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 2: weren't there when he formed me in my mother's womb.

251
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 4: You weren't there when he called me, anointed me, and

252
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 4: empowered me. You weren't there when he crowned me with

253
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 4: his favor. You may think that I can't do it,

254
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 4: but I don't.

255
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: Need your approval.

256
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: You don't think I have what it takes, that I'm

257
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: just a boy. But there's a slingshot. You can't see.

258
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: There's a giant that's about to come down. I was

259
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: at a destiny moment.

260
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: If I would have let their seeds take root, I

261
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 2: would have talked myself out of it. If I'd have

262
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 2: kept dwelling on that you're not like your father, You're

263
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 2: not good enough, it's not going to last, I wouldn't

264
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: be up here today. I was on the verge of

265
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: a new level of my destiny. Getting the Compact Center

266
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: wasn't the real battle. The real battle was not letting

267
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: those two women convince me that I didn't have what

268
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: it takes. Now look back now, and I think, how

269
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: did I not let them discourage me?

270
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,479
Speaker 1: I was so unsure of myself.

271
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: But in those destinies moments, the grace of God will

272
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: always be there to empower you. The scripture says when

273
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of

274
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: God will raise up a barrier. It wasn't a coincidence that,

275
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: out of the thousands of people of church that morning,

276
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: it just so happened I walk behind those two ladies.

277
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: I could have walked behind someone and said that was

278
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: great today. I sure enjoyed it.

279
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: That was a test.

280
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 2: Before you accomplish the dream, the enemy will make sure

281
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: there will be negative seeds before your health turns around,

282
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: before your child gets back on course, before you break

283
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: that addiction.

284
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: These seeds of.

285
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: Doubt and discouragement. Can't do it, not good enough, never

286
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: gonna happen. Don't believe those lies. Turn it around and

287
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: declare what God says about you. When thoughts tell you you've

288
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: seen your best days, nothing good is in your future. Father,

289
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: you said, my latter days will be better than my

290
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: former days. You said, but the path of the righteous

291
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: gets brighter and brighter.

292
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: Your children are never going to get back on course.

293
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: Just accept it. Know as for me and my house,

294
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: we will serve the Lord. Father, Thank you that my

295
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: children are.

296
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: Mighty in the land.

297
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: You're never gonna have that baby you've been trying for

298
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: so many years. Father, you said in Psalms that you

299
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: would make me the happy mother of children. So Lord,

300
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: I think that my baby is on the way. March

301
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: chapter five, Jesus was walking by the shore and a

302
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: man named Gyros came and fell at his feet and said, Jesus,

303
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: my little girl is very sick. She's about to die.

304
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: Please come to my house and pray for her. And

305
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: Jesus said that he would, but along the way he

306
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: kept getting delayed.

307
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: That's when the woman came.

308
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: Up with the issue of blood, touched the edge of

309
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: his robe, and she was healed, and Jesus stopped and

310
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: talked with her. All this time Gyros was thinking, please hurry,

311
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: we don't have a lot of time. About that time,

312
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: these messengers came up to Jyris, saying, we're so sorry,

313
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: but your little girl has died.

314
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: There's no use bothering Jesus anymore.

315
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: The scripture says Jesus overheard what the messenger said, but

316
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: he ignored their comments.

317
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: Notice the principle.

318
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: You may overhear some negative words, overhear negative reports, but

319
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: you have to learn to ignore them. Don't dwell on it.

320
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: You're not denying the problem, you're not acting like it.

321
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: Doesn't exist, but you're not letting it take root.

322
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: You can't have faith if there's doubt and fear, worried

323
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 2: about this medical report and Joel the experts.

324
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: Say it's not going to work out. Sometimes take this

325
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: in the right sense.

326
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: You have to turn your mind off, lean not to

327
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: your own understanding. Yes, youse common sense that there are

328
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: things we face where there is no solution in the natural.

329
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: If you try to figure it out, you're going to

330
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: get confused. Discoura is. Talk yourself out of it. You

331
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: can't stop that. You heard it, but take the next

332
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: step and ignore it. Don't dwell on it.

333
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: Jesus went in and prayed for the little girl, and

334
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: she came back to life, a great miracle. There may

335
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: be things in your life right now that look dead.

336
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: Every circumstance says it's too late. You're never going to

337
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 2: get well, never accomplish your dream, you never see your

338
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: family restored. But God has the final say. When you

339
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: believe all things are possible, don't give those negative seeds

340
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: any room in your soil. When you're in a battle,

341
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: when you're up against those giants, you need your heart

342
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: filled with hope, with faith, knowing that God is bigger,

343
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 2: knowing that he's fighting your battles, that he's making ways

344
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 2: where you don't see away see the messenger said it

345
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 2: was too late, but they were wrong. The little girl

346
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 2: was healed. Saul said, David, you're just a boy. You

347
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: can't defeat Goliath.

348
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: But Saul wrong. David won. Those two ladies said that

349
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't minister, but they were wrong. Here I am.

350
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 2: The experts told my mother that she had terminal cancer,

351
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 2: a few weeks to live, but they were wrong.

352
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: Forty two years later, she's still alive.

353
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: People told us that we would never get the Compact center,

354
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 2: that the city.

355
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: Would never let a church have it, but they were wrong.

356
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: Here's my point.

357
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: In each of these situations, if the people would have

358
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 2: let the negative seeds take root, then what the others

359
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: were saying would.

360
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: Have been true. David wouldn't have defeated Golia.

361
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: Jyrois's daughter would have died. My mother wouldn't have been healed.

362
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have become a minister. The determining factor wasn't

363
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: what other people said. It's whether we let it take root.

364
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 2: We control what we allow in our soil. I'm asking

365
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: you to Refuse the negative seeds. Refuse the doubt, refuse

366
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: the fear. Refuse limitations that people put on you. My

367
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 2: grandmother on my father's side of the family was a

368
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: very feisty woman. She only stood four feet eleven inches tall,

369
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 2: but she would fight a tiger.

370
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: She lived out in the country her whole life.

371
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: If you've ever seen the Beverly Hillbillies, she was granny.

372
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: Her name was Ellie May. She chewed tobacco, she dipped snuff.

373
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 2: I come from a very sophisticated family. I'm so glad

374
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 2: my sister Lisa finally quit. But when my grandmother was

375
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: up there in years, she went to the doctor for

376
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: a checkout. He said, miss Ostein, I'm sorry to tell

377
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 2: you this, but you have the beginning stages.

378
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: Of Parkinson's disease.

379
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 2: Well, my grandmother didn't know what Parkinson's was, but she

380
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 2: knew she didn't want to have anything to do with it.

381
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 2: She got up off the table, bristled back and said,

382
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: listen here, sir, I.

383
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: Do not have Parkinson's disease.

384
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: I refuse to have it, and besides, I'm too old

385
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 2: to have it.

386
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: He looked at her like she was a little bit crazy.

387
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: And she was. But do you know my grandmother never.

388
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: Did have Parkinson's disease. If she had it, the symptoms

389
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 2: never showed up. Now, I know you can't wish things away,

390
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 2: but something happens when you don't let the seed take root.

391
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: I'm not saying bury your head in the sand, deny reality.

392
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 2: I'm saying, don't let it get down in your spirit

393
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: where it becomes your default setting.

394
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: You always think it. I have this disease. I'm limited.

395
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 2: No, your body is a temple of a most high God.

396
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: See any sickness, any addiction, any pain as foreign.

397
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: You don't belong here. You are not welcome. I am

398
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: God's property.

399
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: See doctors tell us what medical science says. They give

400
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: us diagnosis based on skill and expertise and training, and

401
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: they help us to get well. But at times they

402
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 2: come to limitations. There's nothing more they can do medically speaking.

403
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 2: While we respect the diagnosis, that's one report. But there's

404
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 2: another report from the God who created you, from the

405
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 2: God who made you in his own image, from the.

406
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: God who knew you before you were.

407
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: Formed in your mother's womb. He's called Jehovah Raphah, the

408
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: Lord your healer, Isaiah said, who will.

409
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: Believe the report of the Lord? In life? We have

410
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: different reports.

411
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 2: Here's the medical report, here's my financial report, and here's

412
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: what King Saul says. And here's what those two jerks

413
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: I mean, those two ladies said, No, we get to.

414
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 1: Choose which report we're gonna believe.

415
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: He'll never be as good as his father. That's one report,

416
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: but there's another one.

417
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: I can do all things through Christ. I am strong

418
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: in the Lord.

419
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: God being for me is more than the world being

420
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 2: against me.

421
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: Why don't you choose the report of the Lord.

422
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 2: You're not gonna get well. That sickness is permanent, learn

423
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 2: to live with it. There's another report. God is restoring

424
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: health back into me. I will live and not die

425
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 2: with long life. God will satisfy me. Well, you'll always struggle,

426
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: You'll always have lack, not enough.

427
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: How about this report? I will lend and not borrow.

428
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: My cup runs over.

429
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: I live under the open windows of heaven blessings that

430
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: I cannot contain. What seeds are you letting take root?

431
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: What you're dwelling on is what's going to come to pass.

432
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: I talked to a woman that was pregnant with triplets

433
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 2: and because of some other complications. It was considered a

434
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 2: very high risk pregnancy. They sent her to a group

435
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: of doctors that specialized in this. She was told that

436
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: she would be bedridden after three months of pregnancy and

437
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: that the babies would be born at least four months prematurely.

438
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: They'd seen this happen again and again.

439
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 2: She was respectful, but she didn't let that seed take root.

440
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: She told the doctors that she is going to be

441
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: the exception, that her babies were going to be born

442
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 2: full term, and she was not going to be bedridden.

443
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: They looked at her like, yeah, right.

444
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 2: At one point, the main doctor said, you're going to

445
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: get gestational diabetes, something that occurs during pregnancy that can

446
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: lead to long term diabetes. He said, it's not if

447
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: you get it, it's when you get it. You have

448
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 2: all the signs, it's just a matter of time. She

449
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: asked the doctor very politely to not pronounce things over

450
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 2: her that have not yet happened.

451
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: She said, I'd prefer you to.

452
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 2: Say the statistics indicate that you will get gestational diabetes.

453
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: She didn't want that defeat being spoken over her.

454
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: You can't always keep it from coming, but you don't

455
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 2: have to let it take root. They thought she was

456
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 2: kind of odd, But do you know she carried the

457
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 2: triplets the full nine months. She was never bedridden, She

458
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 2: drove herself to the hospital to deliver, and she never

459
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: did get gestational diabetes. Now these same doctors call her

460
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 2: the miracle Mom. They said, We've never seen anyone like you.

461
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: It's amazing what God will do if you don't let

462
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 2: negative seeds take root. Whose report are you gonna believe?

463
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 2: The report of the Lord or the report of people?

464
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 2: People are limited. God is unlimited, people are natural. God

465
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: is supernatural. People look at facts, statistics, what's supposed to happen.

466
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: God goes beyond normal logic.

467
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 2: He parts red seas, He brings little girls back to life.

468
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,960
