1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,199
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks again for being with us today.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: Always my honor to be able to share God's word

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 2: with you and hopefully inspire you and encourage him. If

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 2: you're enjoying the podcast, I hope you'll share it with

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: a friend, pass it along.

6
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: Let's inspire some other people as well. But know that

7
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: we love you. It's going to be a blessed day

8
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: for you.

9
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: Well, God bless you. It's a joy to come into

10
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: your homes. And if you're ever in our area, please

11
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: stop by be a part of one of our services.

12
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 2: I'll promise you we'll make you feel right at home.

13
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard

14
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: about this senior citizen. He was driving down the freeway

15
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 2: in his brand new Corvette with the top down, going

16
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: eighty miles an hour when he saw flashing red lights

17
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: from a state trooper in his rearview mirror. Without thinking

18
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: about it, he floored it took off to one hundred

19
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: miles an hour. He heard the sirens behind him. He

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: finally pulled over. It's an officer. I'm so sorry. I

21
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: don't know what I was thinking. The state trooper said, listen,

22
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: it's fry four o'clock my shift is over in thirty minutes.

23
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: If you tell me a reason why you're speeding that

24
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: I've never heard before, then I'll let you go. The

25
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: men thought about it, said officer. Years ago, my wife

26
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: ran off with a state trooper and I thought you

27
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: were bringing her back. The officer said, have a great weekend.

28
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

29
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: I am what it says I am. I have what

30
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: it says I have. I can do what it says

31
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

32
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: of God. I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my

33
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

35
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: about peace with yourself. Too many people go around feeling

36
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: wrong on the inside. They don't really like who they are.

37
00:01:53,680 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: They focus on their faults, weaknesses. They're constantly critical toward themselves.

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: According of everything they've done wrong is always playing in

39
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: their mind. You're impatient, you blew your diet yesterday, you

40
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: lost your temper. You're still struggling with that addiction. You

41
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: should be ashamed of yourself. They wonder why they're not happy,

42
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: it's because they have this war going on on the inside.

43
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: You're not supposed to go through life feeling wrong about yourself.

44
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: Quit focusing on your faults. Quit over analyzing your weaknesses.

45
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: Quit beating yourself up because you're not where you thought

46
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: you would be. Here's the key. You're not a finished product.

47
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: God is still working on you. The scripture says God

48
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: changes us from glory to glory. You have to learn

49
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: to enjoy the glory that you're in right now. You

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: may have some weaknesses, we all do. There may be

51
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: some areas where you know you need to improve, but

52
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: being down on yourself is not going to help you

53
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: do better. Having that nagging feeling telling you you don't

54
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: measure up. God's not pleased with you, You'll never get

55
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: it right. It's not going to help you move forward.

56
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: You have to accept yourself right where you are, faults

57
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: and all. God is the potter, We are the clay.

58
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: He's the one making you and molding you. It may

59
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: not be happening as fast as you like, but you

60
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: don't control the timetable. Will you trust him in the process.

61
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: Will you accept yourself in the glory that you're in

62
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: right now. The problem with not liking yourself is you're

63
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: the only person that you can never get away from.

64
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: You can get away from your boss, you can get

65
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: away from your neighbor, you can get away from that

66
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: crazy uncle, but you can never get away from you.

67
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: You wake up with you, you take a shower with you,

68
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: you go to work with you, You even go on vacations

69
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: with you. If you don't like you, life is going

70
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: to be very miserable. Don't go around being against yourself.

71
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: You may have some things wrong with you, but can

72
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: I tell you you have a lot more right with you.

73
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: You may have a long way to go, but if

74
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: you look back, you'll see how far you've already come.

75
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: Keep your flaws in perspective. Every person has something they're

76
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: dealing with. You may see someone that look further along.

77
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: They look like they've got it all together. They're happy,

78
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 2: enjoying their life, but they're on the Potter's will. The

79
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: reason they're not upset, the reason they're not down on themselves,

80
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: is they've learned this principle to enjoy where you are

81
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: while God is in the process of changing you. We

82
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: think I'm going to feel good about myself as soon

83
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: as I lose this ten pounds, as soon as I

84
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 2: break this addiction, as soon as I control my mouth,

85
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: then I'll get rid of the guilt, the heaviness. I'm

86
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: asking you to feel good about yourself right where you are.

87
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: If you don't understand this, you will go through life

88
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: not liking yourself. Because as soon as you overcome this weakness,

89
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: you cross this off your list, God will show us

90
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 2: something else that we need to improve it. It will

91
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: be a never ending cycle. I talked to a man recently.

92
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 2: He said, Joel, you're so calm and good natured. Do

93
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: you ever get upset? Do you ever lose your temper?

94
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: And this is an area that I've never struggled in,

95
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 2: always been easygoing. My mother tells people she's never seen

96
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: me angry a day in my life. Well, God gives

97
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: us grace in different areas. When I told him that,

98
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: he shook his head and said, man, I don't know

99
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: what's wrong with me. I get upset so easily. I've

100
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 2: done this my whole life. I told him what I'm

101
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: telling you. As long as you're down on yourself, feeling

102
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: like you don't measure up, you can't get it right.

103
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: That's not only going to keep you from enjoying your life,

104
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 2: but it's going to keep you from improving. You have

105
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: to give yourself a break. You're on the Potter's will.

106
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 2: You can't change yourself. God has to give you the

107
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: grace to change. It takes a mature person to accept

108
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: who you are to be at peace on the inside,

109
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: even though you have some areas you need to improve in.

110
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: It's easy to stay negative toward yourself down you can't

111
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: get it right. But when you make this decision to

112
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 2: accept yourself false in awe instead of beating yourself up,

113
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 2: you have the attitude. No, I'm not perfect, I have

114
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 2: some areas I need to improve in. But God, I

115
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 2: want to thank you for the glory that I'm in

116
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 2: right now. I know you're the potter. I'm going to

117
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: stay on this will and keep being my best, knowing

118
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: on your timetable that you will change me. This is

119
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: what allows God to work, not always beating yourself up.

120
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 2: The Scripture says and Hebrews looking away from all that

121
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: will distract to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

122
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: You have to look away from your faults, look away

123
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: from your shortcomings. Focusing on your weaknesses will distract you

124
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: from your purpose. Always thinking about how you don't measure

125
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 2: up will distract you from the good things God has

126
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: in store. This doesn't mean we don't try to improve.

127
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: It means you don't let that heaviness weigh you down

128
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: to where you think that there's something wrong with you.

129
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: One of the worst mistakes you could make is to

130
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: go through life being against yourself. Some people live with

131
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: this nagging feeling that's always telling them you're not attractive enough,

132
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: you're not disciplined enough. You still have that addiction, you'll

133
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: never get it right. They've heard that playing in their

134
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: minds so long that it's become normal. Why don't you

135
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: turn off that negative recording? Why don't you quit thinking

136
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: about everything wrong with you and start thinking about what's

137
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: right with you. You may have some areas you still struggle

138
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: in join the crowd. We all do. There's not one

139
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: perfect person in here. What I'm saying is it's okay

140
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: to feel good about who you are while you're in

141
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: the process of changing. Somebody asked me the other day,

142
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: what is the one thing I would change about myself

143
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: if I could? And I don't mean this to sound arrogant,

144
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: but I couldn't think of anything and yes, there are

145
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 2: plenty areas I need to improve in. Here's my point.

146
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: I don't sit around thinking about everything wrong with me.

147
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: I don't have on the forefront of my mind my flaws.

148
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: My weakness is my shortcomings. I don't go through the

149
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: day reliving my failures, beating myself up for past mistakes,

150
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: letting that negative recording remind me of everything that I'm not.

151
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: I say this with humility. Like myself. I'm happy with

152
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: who I am. I'm proud of who God made me

153
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: to be. Again, I'm not bragging on me. I'm bragging

154
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: on the goodness of God. I know I'm the apple

155
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 2: of his eye. I know I'm a masterpiece. I know

156
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 2: I'm a prized possession, fearfully and wonderfully made. And yes,

157
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 2: I have shortcomings, but I'm on the Potter's will. I'm

158
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 2: a work in progress. God has his own timetable while

159
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: he's changing me. I'm going to feel good about who

160
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 2: I am. I'm gonna keep my head held high and

161
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: enjoy my life knowing that God will get me to

162
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 2: where I'm supposed to be. Very powerful when you can

163
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: say I like who I am, I feel good about myself.

164
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: I'm proud of who God made me to be. Most

165
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 2: people can't do this. They say, I would feel good

166
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: about myself if I didn't have these weaknesses. I would

167
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: be happy with who I am. If I has a

168
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 2: better parent, if I was more patient, if I wasn't

169
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: so jealous or joel. I would hold my head up high,

170
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 2: if I hadn't made these mistakes, if I hadn't blown

171
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: that relationship. There will always be some reason why you

172
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: shouldn't feel good about who you are. The accuser will

173
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: make sure to remind you of something that you're not

174
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: doing right, some area you're not up to parr some

175
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: way that you failed. If you're going to live in victory,

176
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: you have to put your foot down and say that's it.

177
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: I'm done being against myself. I'm done feeling wrong on

178
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: the inside. I'm done focusing on my weaknesses. I know

179
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: I'm a child of the most tied God, redeemed, restored, forgiven.

180
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 2: God is taking me from glory to glory. So I'm

181
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 2: going to look away from all that distracts and I'm

182
00:10:53,960 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 2: going to enjoy the glory that I'm in right now now.

183
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: When you do this, don't be surprised if every voice

184
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: tells you you're a hypocrite. You can't feel good about yourself. Man,

185
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: you still struggle, you still have that weakness. This is

186
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: when you have to have the boldness to say, yes,

187
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: that's true, but I'm on the Potter's will, I'm growing,

188
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: I'm changing. In the meantime, I feel good about me.

189
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: Your destiny is too important to let that heaviness weigh

190
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: you down. Your time is too valuable to sit around

191
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: thinking about everything that's wrong with you. That's taking your joy,

192
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: your energy, your creativity, your anointing. Start looking away from

193
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: all of that. You're on the Potter's will. You're not

194
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: going to change overnight. It's going to happen little by little.

195
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: But if you're always down on yourself because you're not

196
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: far enough along, you're not growing as fast as you

197
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: would like, you'll live frustrated. It's very free when you

198
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 2: can be happy with who you are, even though you

199
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: have some areas that you still need to improve in

200
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 2: Think about the Apostle Paul. He said, the things I

201
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: want to do, I don't do. The things I don't

202
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: want to do, I end up doing it. He wasn't perfect.

203
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: He still struggled in some areas. If he would have

204
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: been down on himself, thinking why can't I get it right,

205
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 2: he wouldn't have written almost half of the New Testaments.

206
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: He wouldn't have become one of the heroes of faith.

207
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: You don't have to have it all together in order

208
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: to do something great. If you're waiting till you overcome

209
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 2: all your weaknesses till you perform perfectly, then you're going

210
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: to feel good about yourself. You'll be waiting your whole life.

211
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: There are some weaknesses that God leaves on purpose, so

212
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: we have to depend on him. Otherwise we would think

213
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: we could do it all in our own strength. What

214
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: I'm saying, why don't you start feeling good about yourself

215
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: right where you are. If Paul can write almost half

216
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: of the New Testament with flaws and weaknesses, then you

217
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: can accomplish your dreams with what you're dealing with. And

218
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: when you're on the Potter's will, you are the most pliable,

219
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: the easiest to work with. When you're at peace with yourself,

220
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: not upset angry on the inside, disappointed because you're not

221
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: where you think you should be. All that's doing is

222
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 2: slowing down the process. The right attitude I may have

223
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: some things wrong with me, but I'm at peace. I

224
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: know I'm on the way. I'm in the process, and

225
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: what God started in my life, He's going to finish.

226
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: Jeremiah said, before you were formed in your mother's womb,

227
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: God knew you and approved you. Doesn't say he approves

228
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: you as long as you don't make any mistakes. He

229
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: approves you as long as you performed perfectly, as long

230
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: as you don't have any weaknesses. He approved you before

231
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 2: you got here in your mother's womb. This means he

232
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: approves you with those weaknesses. He approves you in spite

233
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: of those shortcomings. You're not a surprise to God. He

234
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: knows the end from the beginning. He knew every area

235
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: you would ever struggle with. That's why he has you

236
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 2: on the Potter's will. That's why he's changing you from

237
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 2: glory to glory. You're not defective. You're not a mistake.

238
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: When God created you, he called you a masterpiece. He

239
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: stepped back and said that was good. But you may

240
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: have some flaws and weaknesses. Those voices will try to

241
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: convince you to live down on yourself, thinking God's not

242
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: gonna bless me. Joel, you don't know what I struggle

243
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: with I'll never get it right. Don't believe those lies.

244
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: Before you showed up on planet Earth, God already approved you.

245
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: My challenge is, since God approves you, why don't you

246
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: start approving yourself? Why don't you start feeling good about

247
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: who you are? A lot of times we think we

248
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: can't feel good about ourselves until we do everything right.

249
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: If we resist the temptation, if we bite our time,

250
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: if we're more patient, then we believe God will approve us,

251
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: then he'll be pleased. But the truth is there's nothing

252
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 2: you can do to make God love you anymore. His

253
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: approval is not based on your performance. It's based on

254
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: your relationship. He hand picked you, He chose you before

255
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: you could choose him. When you understand that the creator

256
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: of the universe approves you, you won't go around down

257
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: on yourself because you're not where you thought you should be,

258
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: trying to gain God's approval by performing perfectly, never making

259
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: a mistake. You know you already have his approval. This

260
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: takes the pressure off. You can relax knowing that you're

261
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: on the Potter's will, that he's making you and molding you.

262
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: When those thoughts come, try to push you down, tell

263
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: you you're not far enough along, you should feel bad about yourself.

264
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: You can say no, thanks. I know God approves me,

265
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: so I'm going to approve myself. I'm going to feel

266
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: good about who I am. Paul said in Ephesians to

267
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: put on the breastplate of God's approval. Every morning when

268
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: you get up, you should say Father, thank you that

269
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: you approve me, thank you that you are pleased with me.

270
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: You have to put it on. It's not going to

271
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: automatically happen. Thoughts will try to convince you that you

272
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: don't deserve God's blessing. And you made that mistake last week.

273
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: You still struggle with your temper. You failed yesterday. If

274
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: you're not putting this on, you'll start living guilty, feeling unworthy,

275
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 2: like you don't deserve God's blessing. This is the reason

276
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: many people live with the heaviness that feeling that there's

277
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: something wrong with them. They're not putting on the breastplate

278
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: of God's approval. It's the breastplate, meaning that it covers

279
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 2: your heart, your most important area where you live out

280
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: of You may have plenty of areas that you still

281
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: struggle in, but being against yourself is not going to

282
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: help you do better. Living condemned, feeling like you're unworthy,

283
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: you don't deserve God's blessing. That's going to cause you

284
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: to get stuck. You have to put on disapproval, talking

285
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: about in your thoughts all through the day. God is

286
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: pleased with me. He's at work in my life. I'm

287
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: not perfect, but I'm forgiving. I have these weaknesses, but

288
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: I'm on the potter's will. He's making me, he's molding me.

289
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: I'm coming up higher. Thoughts will say you can't feel

290
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: good about yourself, still struggle in that area, Just to

291
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 2: answer back, yes, that's true. But disapproval is not based

292
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: on how good I am. It's based on how good

293
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: God is. He approved me before I showed up. He

294
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: accepted me in spite of my shortcomings. So I'm going

295
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: to start putting on disapproval. Remember when Jesus was baptized

296
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 2: in the Jordan River by John the Baptist, a voice

297
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 2: boomed out of the heaven saying, this is my beloved son,

298
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: in whom I am well pleased. What's interesting up to

299
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: that point, Jesus hadn't performed one miracle, hadn't opened any

300
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 2: blind eyes, hadn't turned water into wine, hadn't raised Lazarus

301
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 2: from the dead, yet his father said, I am well

302
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 2: pleased with him. It's this same principle. God was pleased

303
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: with him because of who he was, and not because

304
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: of anything he had done. We think, if I can

305
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: get rid of this bad habit, if I can bite

306
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: my tongue and not argue so much, if I can

307
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 2: be more disciplined in what I watch, then God will

308
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: be pleased with me. The fact is God is well

309
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: pleased with you right now. He may not be pleased

310
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: with all your behavior, but he is pleased with you.

311
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 2: He's already approved you, he's already called you a masterpiece.

312
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 2: But if you listen to these condemning voices you don't

313
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 2: think you measure up, you'll never get it right. Then

314
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: you'll start living guilty, condemned, feeling wrong on the inside.

315
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 2: Why don't you start putting on this approval knowing that

316
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: God is well pleased with you. A lot of people

317
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 2: think just the opposite, that God is out to get them.

318
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: He's waiting for you to make the next mistake so

319
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: he can push you down even further. That's not how

320
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: our God is. When you go through the day saying Father,

321
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 2: thank you that you are pleased with me, thank you

322
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 2: that you have approved me, thank you you've already accepted me.

323
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 2: Thoughts will tell you who do you think you are?

324
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 2: Just answer back, a child of the Most High God, redeemed, restored,

325
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: accepted and approved. Are you putting on your breastplate of

326
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: approval or are you wearing rags of condemnation, unworthiness, guilt?

327
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: Do you believe that God is well pleased with you?

328
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: Or you trying to gain his approval by performing perfectly

329
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 2: as a parent. Our children make mistakes, they have weaknesses,

330
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: but we know they're growing, they're learning, they're making progress.

331
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: If you were to ask me if I was pleased

332
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: with my children, first thing I would do is not

333
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: make a list of all their mistakes. I wouldn't tell

334
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 2: you everything they've done wrong the last three months. I

335
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 2: wouldn't have to think twice. I would say, yes, I

336
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 2: am very pleased. They're great children. I would make a

337
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 2: list of everything I like about them. They're loving, kind, talented, fun, attractive.

338
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 2: That's the way God thinks of you. He's not focusing

339
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: on your faults, looking at everything that you've done wrong,

340
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: making a list of your shortcomings. He's focusing on what

341
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: you're doing right. He's looking at how you're growing, how

342
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: you're making progress, how you're not where you used to be. Well, Joel,

343
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 2: what about this weakness? I've had it for many years.

344
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: You're not a surprise to God. He's not thinking, oh boy,

345
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: they're wearing me out. I'm done with them. He's saying,

346
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: that's my beloved son, that's my beloved daughter in whom

347
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 2: I am. Well, Please, why don't you shake off the guilt?

348
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 2: Why don't you quit feeling wrong on the inside. The

349
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: right attitude is I'm going to accept myself while God

350
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: is in the process of changing me. I'm going to

351
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: be happy with who I am, even though I still

352
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: have some areas I need to improve in the enemy

353
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: does not want you to feel good about who you are.

354
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: Nothing he would love anymore than you to go through

355
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: life feeling wrong on the inside. Don't fall into that trap.

356
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 2: Take off the rags of unworthiness and start putting on

357
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: your breastplate of God's approval. The most important relationship you

358
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 2: have is your relationship with yourself. If you don't get

359
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: along with you, you won't be able to get along

360
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: with anybody else. It will affect every relationship, including your

361
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 2: relationship with God. If you're living guilty, condemned, feeling unworthy,

362
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: you won't go to God with boldness. You won't ask

363
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 2: him for your dreams. You won't ask him for the

364
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: supersized life that belongs to you. And this is the

365
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: reason that many people can't get along. They don't like themselves.

366
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 2: They're insecure, they're bitter, they're defensive. It fills over into

367
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 2: every other relationship. Jesus said it this way. Love your

368
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 2: neighbor as you love yourself. You can't love your neighbor.

369
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: If you don't first love yourself. You can't give away

370
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 2: something that you don't have. And if you don't have

371
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 2: a healthy respect for yourself, if you're not putting on

372
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: disapproval each day knowing that you're a masterpiece, knowing that

373
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 2: you're made in the image of God, then you'll start

374
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: focusing on your faults, your shortcomings. You'll end up insecure, inferior.

375
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 2: That will cause you to struggle in relationships. The scripture

376
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 2: says our faith is made effective when we acknowledge everything good.

377
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: If you're acknowledging everything you don't like about you, your flaws,

378
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 2: your shortcomings, your failures, your faith is not going to

379
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 2: be effective. That's going to cause you to get stuck.

380
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: You have enough to overcome in life as it is.

381
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: Don't go around against yourself. Quit taking inventory of everything

382
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 2: you don't like. Sometimes we spend more time looking at

383
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 2: what's wrong with us then we do what's right with us.

384
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: Should be just the opposite. Start acknowledging the good. Let

385
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: me help you. You came to church today, that was good.

386
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: You turned on the program. That was good. You were

387
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: patient in traffic last week, that was good. You were

388
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 2: kind to that stranger. You overlooked an insult. That was good.

389
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 2: There's a lot right about you. Even physically, we tend

390
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 2: to focus on what we don't like. And I'm so old,

391
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: I'm so wrinkled. I wish I was taller. Where did

392
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: my hair go? Listen? Turn it around instead of being critical.

393
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am one of

394
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 2: a kind. I am a masterpiece. Something powerful happens when

395
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: you say I like who I am. Not perfect, have

396
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 2: some shortcomings, but I'm growing, I'm changing, and God, since

397
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: you approve me, I'm going to prove myself. When you

398
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 2: do this in the unseen realm, chains are broken, chains

399
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: of guilt, chains of low self esteem, chains of inferiority.

400
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: When you are for yourself, you are in agreement with God.

401
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 2: Some people have never once said I like myself. I

402
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: like my gifts, I like my personality, I like my looks.

403
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 2: I'm happy with who God made me to be. Well, jord,

404
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say I like myself. That's weird. But

405
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 2: if you don't like yourself in a healthy way, other

406
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 2: people are not going to like you. You project what

407
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: you believe on the inside. If you feel wrong about yourself,

408
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 2: you project inferiority, unfriendliness, discontentment. I'm asking you to feel

409
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: good about who you are. You may not be where

410
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: you want to be, but you're on the way. God

411
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 2: is changing you from glory to glory. Start enjoying the

412
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: glory that you're in right now. You may have some weaknesses.

413
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: We all do. Don't you dare go through life against yourself.

414
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 2: God is saying today you are my beloved son, my

415
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 2: beloved daughter in whom I am well pleased. Now do

416
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: your part. Start putting on the breastplate of God's approval

417
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 2: each morning. If you'll do this, I believe and declare

418
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 2: every chain that's holding you back is being broken. God

419
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 2: is going to keep making you and molding you. You're

420
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: going to come up higher, overcome those obstacles and become

421
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 2: everything He's created you to be in Jesus' name. If

422
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 2: you receive it, can you say amen? Today? I'd like

423
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 2: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord

424
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 2: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus,

425
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 2: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I

426
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: make you my Lord and savior. Friends, if you pray

427
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: that simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get

428
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: in a good Bible based church. Keep God first place.

429
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: It's easy in life to wear labels, mistakes we've made

430
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 2: and what people have said, disappointments we faced. Those labels

431
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: can diminish our sense of value and cause us to

432
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 2: forget who we really are. And have a new book

433
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 2: called Made by God. Know it, receive it, and live it.

434
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 2: It'll help you see yourself the way God sees you, valuable, talented, worthy,

435
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 2: a masterpiece You've been fearfully and wonderfully made.

436
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: I'd love to.

00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,800
