God bless you today and enjoy the message. Well, 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes. 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: And if you're ever in our area, please stop buy 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: and be a part of one of our services. I'll 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: promise you we'll make it feel right at home. I 9 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: like to start with something funny, and I heard about 10 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: this teenager that just got his driver's license. He asked 11 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: his father about borrowing the car. The dad said, son, 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: I'll make a deal with you. If you bring your 13 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: grades up, read your Bible every day, and cut your hair, 14 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: I'll let you borrow it. He came back a few 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: weeks later, asking about it again. The dad said, son, 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: you brought your grades up, you've been reading your Bible, 17 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: but you still haven't cut your hair. He said, dad, 18 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: I've been thinking about it. Moses had long hair, Sampson 19 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: had long hair, even Jesus had long haired. The dad 20 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: said yes, son, and they walked everywhere they went, saying 21 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 22 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: what it says I am. I have what it says 23 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 24 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: Today I will be taught the word of God. I 25 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 26 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 27 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 28 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: healing words. Our words have the power to lift people, 29 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: to help them get through a challenge, to push them 30 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: into their destinies. When you tell someone I love you, 31 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: I'm proud of you, you did great on that project. 32 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: You're not just being kind. Those are healing words. We 33 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: don't know what people are going through. They may smile 34 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: on the outside, but on the inside they're hurting, their lonely, 35 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: their discouraged. Many people have wounds from the past, wounds 36 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: from a relationship that didn't work out, wounds from people 37 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: trying to push them down, and just a simple word 38 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: of encouragement. I believe in you, I'm praying for you, 39 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: A simple compliment, you look beautiful today. It's no big 40 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: deal to you, but to them, it's helping heal the wounds. 41 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: It's lifting their spirits. It's causing them to believe in themselves. 42 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: Your words can be what keeps them moving forward. And 43 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: God puts people in our lives on purpose, so we 44 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: can bring healing. The security guard at the office, don't 45 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: just pass by them every day for the next twenty years. 46 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: Take a moment to bless him with your words. You 47 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: don't have to spend ten minutes, just a simple great 48 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: to see you today. I appreciate you taking care of us. 49 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: You just spoke a blessing over his life, letting people 50 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: know that your care does more than you imagine. Because 51 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: we live in a society that's filled with a lot 52 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: of negative chatter through the internet, social media, it's becoming 53 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: normal to be disrespectful. People think nothing of being condescending, 54 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: saying hurtful, critical things. More than ever, people need your 55 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: healing words. You have the power to put someone on 56 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: their feet. You have the power to keep them from 57 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: falling into depression. You have the power to cause them 58 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: to pursue their dreams. But without your blessing, without your encouragement, 59 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: your compliments, they won't become what they should become. Don't 60 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: miss these opportunities. Don't be too caught up in your career. 61 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: In your challenges. Take time to be a healer, to 62 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: be a lifter. God needs you. He has no voice 63 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: to encourage on this earth except your voice. He's counting 64 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: on you to help heal the people in your life. 65 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: When somebody does something good for me, when they're kind, 66 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: I'm grateful, of course I tell them thank you. But 67 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: when somebody does something good for my children, when they 68 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: go out of their way to help them in a 69 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: time of need. As a parent, there's nothing I won't 70 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: do for them. That's the way God is. When you 71 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: go out of your way to bless one of his children. 72 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: When you make it your business to encourage the coworker 73 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: that's down, when you stop by to see the friend 74 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: that's not feeling well, when you call your relative just 75 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: to say that you love them. Because you're taking care 76 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,239 Speaker 1: of his children, God will make sure somebody is always 77 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: there to take care of you, to bring healing, to 78 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: bring encouragement, to show your favor. Those are seeds that 79 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: you're sowing. Now look around at who's in your life. 80 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: The clerk at the grocery store, the attendant at the 81 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 1: gas station, the friend at the gym. They're not thereby accident. 82 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: They need what you have. They need encouragement, They need affirmation. 83 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: They need to know that you believe in them. Don't 84 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: keep the healing to yourself. Be free with your compliments. 85 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: A blessing is not a blessing until it's spoken your thoughts. 86 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: Don't bless anybody. You can think well of your friend 87 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: all day long, but if you never tell them, they'll 88 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: never know. When I see Victorian many times, I think 89 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: she is so beautiful. But it's easy for me to 90 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: think she knows she's beautiful. People have been telling her 91 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: she's beautiful her whole life. I told her last week 92 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: she's beautiful. She doesn't need to hear it again. I've learned, 93 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: even though she knows it, tell her anyway. Do you 94 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: know she has never once said to me, Joel quit 95 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: telling me I'm beautiful. I know I'm beautiful. My parents 96 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: told me as a child. No matter how many times 97 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: you complimented a person, when that thought comes up, tell 98 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: them again, that's God bringing it up. You don't know 99 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: what they're going through. You don't know the battles they're fighting, 100 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: the people trying to push them down. God wouldn't have 101 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: brought it up if he didn't want you to tell them. 102 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: These days, it's easier than ever. If they're not they're 103 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: in person, you can send them a text. Hey, I 104 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: want you to know I love you and I think 105 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: you're beautiful. The scripture says, a gentle tongue brings healing. 106 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: When we think of healing, many times we think of 107 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: praying for people for healing, and yes, that's one way. 108 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: But what I want us to see is your words 109 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: have healing. When you're kind, when you're encouraging, when you 110 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: don't just think something good, but you verbalize it, you'll 111 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: being a healer. And it's amazing what one kind word 112 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: can do. We don't think anything about it, but to 113 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: the other person, it breathes life into their spirit. A 114 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: few years ago, Victoria was walking down the hallway after 115 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: a service. On her way upstairs, there were hundreds of 116 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: people in the hallways, very crowded. A young lady came 117 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: passing by going the other direction. Victoria happened to notice her. 118 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: She stopped her and said, you are so beautiful. Just 119 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: a five second conversation and they moved on. No big deal. 120 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: It seemed like that Victoria was just being nice, just 121 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: being kind. But God wouldn't have given you that compliment. 122 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: He wouldn't have put that thought in you if the 123 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: other person didn't need it. You may not know them, 124 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: it may not make sense to you, but God knows 125 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: what he's doing. There's a reason they need your healing. 126 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: If you saw someone that was sick, they were fighting 127 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: and illness, and you had the cure, you had the 128 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: medicine that would cause them to get well, you would 129 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: be quick to get it to them. You go over 130 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: as fast as you could. Here, take this right now. 131 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: I don't want you to suffer anymore. That's the way 132 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: you need to see. Your compliments, your kind words, your encouragement. 133 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: It's the healing that people need. Don't withhold it, don't 134 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: try to reason it out. Well, they look like they're 135 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: doing fine. Joy, they don't need my encouragement. You're looking 136 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: on the outside. You don't know what's happening on the inside. 137 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: I've learned everyone is going through something. Even the people 138 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: that look like they have it all together, that are 139 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: so happy, so blessed, so strong. Can I tell you 140 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: they don't have it all together. There's always something that 141 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: they're dealing with. A couple of months later, this young 142 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: lady showed up in the visitor's reception, She said to me, 143 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: Victoria will never know what she did for me. That day, 144 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: she told how she had gone through a bitter divorce. 145 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: She felt so unattractive, so beaten down. Every voice told 146 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: her she wasn't worth anything, that she would never love again. 147 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: She said. When Victoria looked me in the eyes and 148 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: said you were so beautiful, it was like strongholds were 149 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: broken in my mind. All of a sudden, that depression 150 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,239 Speaker 1: lifted off of her. She had a new perspective. She realized, 151 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: I'm still beautiful, I'm still a child of the Most 152 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: High God. I'm still fearfully and wonderfully made. For the 153 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: next couple of months, anytime she was tempted to be discouraged, 154 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: she would replay that phrase over and over, you are 155 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: so beautiful. We don't understand the power of a simple compliment, 156 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: the power of I believe in you. You're going to 157 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: make it. Great things are in store. Victoria thought she 158 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: was just being kind. She didn't realize there were healing 159 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: in her words. God had already ordained those words to 160 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: help push that young lady pass the hurts, pass the injustice, 161 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: into the new beginning that God had in store, and 162 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: your words may seem ordinary to you, but when God 163 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: breathes on them, they become extraordinary to the other person. 164 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: Somebody today needs your healing words. Somebody won't get past 165 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: the depression without you speaking blessings over them. Somebody will 166 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: give up on a dream, They'll get talked out of 167 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: God's best unless you step up and encourage them. Will 168 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: you be a healer? Will you use your words to 169 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: lift people? Proverbs eighteen says our words can be life 170 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: giving water. I found people or thirsty. They've gone through heartaches, 171 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: they've been beaten down in life. We have something to 172 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: offer them. Our words can help heal the hurts. Be 173 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 1: aware of who's in your life. Be sensitive to what 174 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: you're feeling down in here. Take time to let people 175 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: know that you care. In my early twenties, a young 176 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: man started coming up to the gym to play basketball 177 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: with us. He was a loner. He was very unfriendly, 178 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: very cold. He never talked even during the games. He 179 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't interact with us. Most of the guys just ignored him. 180 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: But something down in here told me to reach out 181 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: to him and make him feel welcome. I found out 182 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: that his name was Bo when he would come into 183 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: the gym. I would go over and say, hey, Bo, 184 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: it's great to see you today. He never said anything. 185 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: He just hit his chest twice and walked away. I 186 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: didn't know what that meant, but I hit my chest 187 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: twice and walked away. This went on for several years. 188 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: I saw him four or five times a week. Well, 189 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: I stopped playing basketball there and I hadn't seen Bou 190 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: in over twenty years. One Sunday he showed up at church. 191 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: I saw him. Afterwards, I thought, where do I know 192 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,599 Speaker 1: this guy from? He said, I'm Bo. We used to 193 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: play basketball together. That's the most I'd ever heard him talk. 194 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: He went on to tell how he grew up in 195 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: the projects. At fourteen, he started living on his own. 196 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: Nobody wanted him. He never felt loved or accepted. He said, 197 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: one of the main reasons I went up to the 198 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: gym was to hear you say great to see you today, 199 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: because nobody had told me that they were glad to 200 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: see me. I didn't know it at the time, but 201 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: Bou was thirsty. Those simple words letting him know that 202 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: I cared. We're like life giving water. Today. Bo is married. 203 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: He introduced me to his children, he's setting a new 204 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: standard for his family. What am I saying? Nobody is 205 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: in your life by accident. Don't ignore what you feel 206 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: on the inside, that compassion to encourage them, that desire 207 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: to be their friend. They're thirsty. You have the water. 208 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: Take time to make them feel loved. Doesn't have to 209 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: be something big. Just good to see you. I believe 210 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: in you. I'm praying for you. Just let them know 211 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: that you care. We're so busy these days. We've got 212 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: our own challenges. If we're not careful, we'll pass right 213 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: by the thirsty people. There's no greater feeling than to 214 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: give them water. Nothing is more rewarding than to help 215 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: someone else rise higher. And when we come to the 216 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: end of life, we can be known for a lot 217 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: of things. We were successful in our career. Joel had 218 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: a big church, she was talented. They lived in a 219 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: nice place. That's all good, nothing wrong with that, But 220 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: I'd rather people say about me. Joel was a healer. 221 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: He lifted me when I was down. He encouraged me 222 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: when I felt stuck. He told me I could accomplish 223 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: dreams that I never thought I could accomplish. Where are 224 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: the healers? Where are the lifters. There are enough people 225 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: saying negative, critical, judgmental words. Our attitude should be who 226 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: can I bless today? Who can I help heal? Who 227 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: can I feel better about themselves? Why don't you start 228 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: with your own family? How long has it been since 229 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: you've told the people in your life, I love you, 230 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: I'm glad you're mine. Don't let a stranger compliment your 231 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: spouse more than you do. Don't let a coach, a teacher, 232 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: a friend make your children feel more special than you do. 233 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: Every day. Bless your children with your words. Tell them 234 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: how proud you are of them, Tell them what they 235 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: can to come, call out their seeds of greatness. Remind 236 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: them that they're made in the image of Almighty God, 237 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: that they are full of potential, that they're supposed to 238 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: go further than you, that the anointing is increasing with 239 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: each generation. They have so much to deal with these days, 240 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: the social chatter, all the bullying, the hurtful words. But 241 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: when you tell your child I love you, I'm blessed 242 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: to have you as my child, that's not only helping 243 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: to heal the wounds, but that's protecting them. That's what 244 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: causes those hurtful words to bounce off of them. The 245 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: more people speak negative over you and your family, your friends, 246 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: the more you need to speak the positive, faith filled, 247 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: healing words. Growing up in our family, there were five 248 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: of us children. When it was one of our birthdays, 249 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: my mother had a special tradition at dinnertime, we all 250 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: had to say one good thing about the person that 251 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: was having a birthday. I didn't like doing that. I 252 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: wasn't used to expressing my feelings, especially when it was 253 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: my brother Paul's birthday and it took me thirty minutes 254 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: to think of something good. But I thought, Mama, they 255 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: know I love them, they know they're special, they know 256 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: they're beautiful. But my thoughts weren't blessing anybody. My thoughts 257 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: weren't bringing healing. I realize now my parents weren't just 258 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: doing that to make the birthday person feel special. That 259 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: was one reason, But they were teaching us the importance 260 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: of speaking the blessing, of verbalizing what we liked, of 261 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: being free with our compliments. I wouldn't be standing here 262 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: without all the people that have spoken the blessing over 263 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: my life. So many people have told me I could 264 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: do things I never dreamed I could do I had 265 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: a coach my freshman year of high school. I was 266 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: very small, about six inches shorter than average. They called 267 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: me peanut. I was on the Hey, don't laugh, I 268 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: was on the basketball team. And of course in high 269 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: school there were a lot more kids than junior high. 270 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: It was a lot more competitive. I was a little intimidated, 271 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: thinking how am I going to play basketball with all 272 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: these bigger guys. One day, I was walking down the 273 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: hallway at school with some of my friends on the 274 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: basketball team. My coach called me over. He's a big, 275 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: tough guy. He said, hey, Peanut, come over here. That 276 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: didn't make me feel too confident. He called me peanut too. 277 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: All my friends were standing around watching. He leaned down 278 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: to my level. He said, listen here, Peanut. You may 279 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: be small, but you have a big heart, and you're 280 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,959 Speaker 1: going to do great this year. In fact, you're going 281 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: to be my starting point guard. When he said that, 282 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: I felt ten feet tall. I went out and played 283 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: like I was Michael Jordan. I'm white, I still can't jump, 284 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: but I'm fast. But my coach, he didn't have to 285 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: say that. He could have just thought it, or he 286 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: could have told me in private. But when you compliment 287 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: someone in front of people, it carries more weight, it's magnified. 288 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: And yes, there are times you need to do it 289 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: in private, But when you can speak a blessing in public. 290 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: After all, a lot of people don't have any problem 291 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: saying negative things in front of people. Why don't you 292 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: spread some good things about the people you love. Use 293 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: your words to help push them into their destinies, to 294 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 1: encourage them to pursue their dreams, to let them know 295 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: that you believe in them. Many times, you can see 296 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: things in people that they can't see in themselves. Your blessing, 297 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: your encouragement can be what causes them to step up 298 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: to who they were created to be. Your destiny is 299 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: connected to the people God's put in your life. If 300 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: you're going to reach your full potential, this is not 301 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: an option. Look around. Who can you bless? Who can 302 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: you help heal? Who can you show favor to? Well? Joel, 303 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: as soon as my husband starts doing what I want 304 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: him to do, then I'll start encouraging him. Then I'll 305 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: compliment him. Here's the key. If you'll quit nagging him 306 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: for what he's doing wrong and start praising him for 307 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: what he's doing right, then he'll begin to change. People 308 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: respond to praise, not criticism, not being nagged, not being berated. 309 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: The scripture even says it is better to live in 310 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: the desert than with a nagging wife. Can I expand it? 311 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: A nagging husband, a nagging friend, a nagging neighbor, don't 312 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: be a nagger. Nobody wants to be around somebody. It's 313 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: always harping on them, pointing out what's wrong, finding fault. 314 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: I heard a saying some people are like clouds. When 315 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: they disappear, it's a beautiful day. We should be so 316 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: full of encouragement, so full of compliments, that people want 317 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: to be around us. They're glad to see us coming. 318 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: Not turn around and head off toward the desert. Ladies, 319 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: instead of nagging your husband, why don't you mow the lawn? 320 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: Can't you see how high the grass is? Next time? 321 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: Try a different approach. When you see him out there 322 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: mowing it, tell him how strong he is and how 323 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: muscular he looks, and what a great physeque you have. 324 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: You are so handsome. You brag on him like that, 325 00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: he'll mow the lawn every day. Praise, encourage, honor, That's 326 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: what people respond to. A man opened his front door 327 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: one morning and he was about to go out and 328 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,479 Speaker 1: get his newspaper, but the dog from across the street 329 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: was sitting on his front porch with his newspaper in 330 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: his mouth. The men was pleasantly surprised he didn't have 331 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: to walk out to the curb to get it. He 332 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: started petting the dog and praising him. He even went 333 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: in and got a treat, came back and brought it 334 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 1: to the dog. The next morning, the man opened his 335 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: front door and there were eight newspapers on his front porch. 336 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: The dog had gone from house to house picking up 337 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: the different newspapers. Like that animal, we respond to praise. 338 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: I have these friends that had been coming to Lakewood 339 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: my whole life since it started. They're my parents' age, 340 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: and they've always been very supportive, and they used to 341 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: sit on the front road during the early service before 342 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: the wife went to be with the Lord. After our 343 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: prayer time. I would always go over, give her a 344 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: hug and tell her that I loved her. She would 345 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: always tell me how proud she was of me and 346 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: how handsome I was. Anytime I saw her, I made 347 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: sure to go say hi. She thought I was just 348 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: coming over to tell her I loved her. She didn't 349 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: realize I was coming to see if I was still handsome. 350 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: Later in life, she's way up in her eighties, she 351 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: started having some dementia, wasn't real clear, and all of 352 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: her thinking didn't matter to me. As long as she 353 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: told me I was handsome, I knew she was. Okay. 354 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 1: What am I saying? Everyone needs encouragement. Everyone needs somebody 355 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: that's cheering them on, somebody that sees the best, somebody 356 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: that tells you you're still handsome. You can be that 357 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,719 Speaker 1: person for the people in your life. You can be 358 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: the one they count on, the one that doesn't find fault, 359 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: the one that has healing workds, words that uplift, words 360 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: that encourage. If there are no compliments in your home, 361 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: no praise, no encouragement, If it's all nagging, why don't 362 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,479 Speaker 1: you do better? That other person is not going to 363 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: want to come home. The reason I went to see 364 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: my friend every time she was there is because she 365 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: lifted me. She fueled me, She made me want to 366 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: do better. Why don't you start doing that in your home? 367 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: You can change the atmosphere. You can bring healing to 368 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: a relationship. It starts with your words, by blessing your spouse, 369 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: blessing your children, complimenting them, I love you, I'm proud 370 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: of you, I'm glad you're in my life. Compliments are 371 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: the glue that hold a relationship together. They have enough 372 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: people already pushing them down, the accusers, already telling them 373 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: everything they're not. Why don't you use your words to 374 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: build them up, to tell them what they can calm, 375 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: to make them feel better about themselves. My mother had 376 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: polio when she was a child. She had to wear 377 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: braces on her legs. Now one leg is much smaller 378 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: than the other. For years she was very self conscious 379 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: about it. She tried to cover them up and wear 380 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: clothes that would hide them. But in her early thirties, 381 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: not long after she married my father, a guest minister 382 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: was coming to speak at the church. This man's always 383 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: positive and uplifting, and my mother was walking in front 384 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: of him. He turned to my father and said, John, 385 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: look at Dodie. She walks like a princess. Up to 386 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: that point, my mother had never heard anything good about 387 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: how she walked. In fact, she was kind of embarrassed 388 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: by it because she walks with a limb. She has 389 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: to walk much slower. But when she heard him say that, 390 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: it changed her whole attitude. She quit being embarrassed by it. 391 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: She put her shoulders back and started walking like she 392 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: was royalty. That was over forty years ago, and my 393 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: mother remembers that like it was yesterday. One compliment can 394 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: have an impact for a lifetime. But what if that 395 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: man would have just thought it and not said it. 396 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: What if he had talked himself out of it, maybe 397 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: my mother would still be self conscious. Don't withhold your blessing, 398 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: your encouragement, your compliments. That can be what causes them 399 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: to step up to who they were created to be. 400 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: There are people in your life right now that need 401 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: your healing. They need your blessing, they need your encouragement. 402 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: They're thirsty. You have life giving water. You can be 403 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: the one that helps them walk like a princess for 404 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: the next forty years. You can be the one that 405 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: reminds them that they're beautiful and the change of depression 406 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: will be broken. Look around this week, live with the 407 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 1: attitude who can I Who can I help heal? Who 408 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: can I help push into their destiny? If you'll develop 409 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: this habit of speaking healing words, I believe and declare 410 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: You're not only going to help others rise higher, but 411 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: those seeds are going to come back to you. God 412 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: is going to cause you to rise higher. You're going 413 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: to accomplish dreams, overcome obstacles, and become everything God's created 414 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: you to be. In Jesus' name, if you receive it, 415 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: can just say amen. Today I'd like to give you 416 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 417 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I 418 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: repent of my sins, Come into my heart. I make 419 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, 420 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: we believe you got born again. Get in a good 421 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: Bible based church, and keep God first place. 422 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 2: Three minutes can such a small amount of time make 423 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 2: a big difference to your day to turn worry into confidence, 424 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 2: frustration to hope, defeat to victory.
