1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,160

Speaker 1: our YouTube channel, social media, and you can come visit

9
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: us in person. We'd love to have you be a

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: part of one of our services. I'd like to start

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: with something funny and One day up in heaven, Satan

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: and Jesus were having a contest to see who was

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: better with computers. After six hours of making spreadsheets and

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: designing web pages, a thunderstorm knocked the power out. When

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: they rebooted their computers, Satan started screaming, it's all lost.

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: All my material is gone, while Jesus quietly walked over

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: and printed his out turned it in. Satan complained, it's

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: not fair. He must have cheated. How come he didn't,

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: it's his material. God smiled and said, Jesus, saves, say

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I

21
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: am what it says I am. I have what it

22
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: says I have. I can do what it says I

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God.

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: I'll boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is recepted.

25
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: program for greatness. There are gifts and talents God has

28
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: put in you that you haven't tapped into yet, abilities

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: and potential that at the right time, just like a

30
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: gene that's been lying dormant, it will open and you

31
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: will discover things you never knew you had. But it's

32
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: easy to think that we've reached our limits. And this

33
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: is the family I come from, this is my education,

34
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: this is what I'm good at. We look at what

35
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: we've seen in the past. But what you can't see

36
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: is what God put in you that hasn't been released. Destiny,

37
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: genes that haven't opened yet. When you come into opportunity

38
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: that looks over your head, that management positioner to start

39
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: the business, to teach the class, thoughts will tell you

40
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: can't do that, you're not qualified, it's too much. But

41
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: God wouldn't have given you the opportunity if he had

42
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: not already equipped you for what you need. The reason

43
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: it feels over your head is because there's talent, courage,

44
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: favor that you haven't seen yet. It's in you. As

45
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: you take that step of faith, you'll discover that you've

46
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: already been programmed to do what God's asking you to do.

47
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: God told Jeremiah that he was going to be a

48
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: great prophet, that he would speak to nations. What Jeremiah

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: was young and insecure. He didn't come from a family

50
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: of prophets, didn't have any background of faith. He said, God,

51
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: I can't do that. I'm a teenager. Nobody's gonna listen

52
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: to me. I don't have the training, the confidence, the personality.

53
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: God didn't say, I understand, Jeremiah, I must have chosen

54
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: the wrong person. You can sit back. I'll find someone else.

55
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: God wouldn't have asked you to do it if you

56
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: weren't well able. God answered back something very insightful. He said, Jeremiah,

57
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: before you were formed in the womb, I knew you

58
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: before you were born. I'll ordained you to be a

59
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: prophet to the nations. He was saying Jeremiah, before you

60
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: ever got here, I already put in you what you

61
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: needed to accomplish your assignment. Already gave you that gift

62
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: to be a prophet to the nations. That gene is

63
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: already programmed to open at the right time. Before you

64
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: showed up on planet Earth, God decided his purpose for you,

65
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: what he destined for you. To accomplish the dreams you

66
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: had achieve, you'd overcome the legacy you would leave. You're

67
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: not here by accidents. Your parents didn't just randomly decide

68
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: to have a baby. God's been thinking about you long

69
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: before you showed up, before you were even in the womb,

70
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: before you were a thought in your parents' mind. God

71
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: not only knew you, but he put in you everything

72
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: you need to succeed, to rise higher, to leave your mark.

73
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: He programmed in your DNA not to be average get

74
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: by settle for mediocrity. He programmed you for greatness. He

75
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: ordained you to break limitations, to set new standards, to

76
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: go where no one in your family has gone. Like Jeremiah,

77
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: opportunities will come across our path that seemed too big.

78
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: We're not qualified. It's never happened in our family yet,

79
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: deep down, you'll feel a sturry, a passion, a faith

80
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: telling you that you can do it. You can speak

81
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,119
Speaker 1: to nations, you can start the business, you can beat

82
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: the cancer, you can write that book. Those are destiny

83
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: genes that have been programmed by your creator that are

84
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: about to open. There is greatness in you. There are

85
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: new levels, gifts you haven't tapped into, books, songs, movies, ideas,

86
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: creativity that are lying dormant at the right time. They're

87
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: going to come to life. When you feel that nutting

88
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: you hear that still small voice. Dare to take that

89
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: step of faith. Dare to go further than what's comfortable.

90
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: Dare to say no to the fear and yes to

91
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: what God is telling you. Press past the insecurity, all

92
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: the negative thoughts, people trying to hold you back. You

93
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: won't reach your highest potential by staying comfortable, knowing how

94
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,799
Speaker 1: it's all going to work out, having all the fun,

95
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: everyone cheering you on. It's normal at times to feel unqualified,

96
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: not able, afraid. Those emotions come to us all. But

97
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: the people that step into their greatness do it afraid.

98
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: They do it feeling inadequate. They do it without the confidence.

99
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: They do it despite the negative chatter. As you make

100
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: a move, then what God put in you will get stronger.

101
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: You'll begin to feel more qualified, more confidence, more ability.

102
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: God told Jeremiah, you must go where I send you

103
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: and say what I tell you, and do not be

104
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: afraid of the people. Out of all the things God

105
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: could have told Jeremiah in this moment of uncertainty when

106
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: he was trying to decide if he would believe he

107
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: could do something great, God didn't say, don't worry about

108
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: the funds I'll provide. Don't worry about the strategy, how

109
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. I'll show you. Don't worry about

110
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 1: the talent, your ability. I'll help you. No, God said,

111
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: here's the one you need to focus on. Do not

112
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: fear the people. One version says, do not be afraid

113
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: of their faces. What people think can keep you from

114
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: your destiny if you allow it. Will they accept me,

115
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: will they before me? Will they understand me? Will they

116
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: criticize me? If you're focused on that, you'll never get

117
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: off a dead sinner, because the enemy will make sure.

118
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: There are people who are not for you. Relatives that

119
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: say you really think you can start that business, coworkers

120
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: I don't see how you can teach that class people

121
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: to speak doubt, bring fear and uncertainty, tune all that out.

122
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: They don't know what God put in you. They weren't

123
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: there before you were formed in your mother's womb. They

124
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: can't feel what you're feeling. They didn't hear what God

125
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: whispered to you in the night. Don't be surprised if

126
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: they say you a prophet to the nations. I don't

127
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: think so. You build that orphanage, you live in that

128
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: nice neighborhood, you lead your department in cells, start that business,

129
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: break that dysfunction. I don't see how they don't have

130
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: to see. It's not up to them. This is between

131
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: you and God. This is the purpose that He placed

132
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: in you before you showed up. God went on to say,

133
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: for I will be with you, and I will take

134
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: care of you. When you take these steps of faith,

135
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: You're not going alone. The Most High God is with you.

136
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: He will fight your battles. He will give you wisdom

137
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: to know what to do. He will bring talent out

138
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: that you didn't know you had. He will make ways

139
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: where you don't see a way. You and God are

140
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: a majority one angel in the Old Testament defeated one

141
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty six thousand of the enemies of Hezekiah.

142
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: Who can withstand our God? Who can stop what he

143
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: is purpose for your life? When you do what He's

144
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: asking you to do, there is a force behind you

145
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: that you can't explain. A power that causes you to

146
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: overcome what should hold you back, A favor that opens doors,

147
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: brings the right people, that propels you into your destiny.

148
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: Jeremiah felt this faith rising up, and instead of talking

149
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: to himself out of it and staying focused on all

150
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: his insecurities, he made the decision to speak to nations.

151
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: When he did, the scripture says God touched his mouth

152
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: and said, from now on, I'm giving you the words

153
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: to speak today. I'm appointing you as a prophet to

154
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: the nation. That was a destiny moment. That calling that

155
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: God put in Jeremiah before he was born had laid dormant.

156
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: It was there. But when he pressed past his doubt

157
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: and took this step of faith, that destiny Jane opened.

158
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: That's when God touched his mouth. When he made a move,

159
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: God me to move. There are destiny genes in you

160
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: right now, things that God has ordained you to accomplish

161
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: from before you were born. He's already put the talent,

162
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: the wisdom, the favor, the courage. It's already in you.

163
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: What you're facing may seem impossible too much, but the

164
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: way you know it's from God is its way over

165
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: your head. If you can accomplish it in your own strength,

166
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: then it's not a destiny gene. What I'm talking about

167
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: are things that are too big for you. You don't

168
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: think you have the talent, the courage, the funds, the connections.

169
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: Every thought will tell you play. It says you better

170
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: stay in that boat. Don't stretch, don't believe, don't get

171
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: your hopes up. That's for people that have more talent,

172
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: more beauty, more courage. No, that's something God has already

173
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: programmed you to become. Now, let's get in agreement with God. God.

174
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: I believe there is greatness in me. I believe I

175
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: can do with you call me to do. I can

176
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: speak to nations, I can lead my company. I can

177
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: write that book you put in my spirit. I can

178
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: break this dysfunction. I can set a new standard for

179
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: my family. When you believe that activates supernatural power, that's

180
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: when God will touch your mouth. So does be, and

181
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: you'll discover new talent, new courage, new ideas, doors opening

182
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: that you couldn't open, People being good to you, and

183
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: they don't even know why. It's the hand of God

184
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: bringing about what He purposed for your life before you

185
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: were born. The greatness is already in you, the success,

186
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: the talent, the dreams, the legacy. God has already programmed

187
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: it into your destiny. But too often, like Jeremiah, when

188
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: we feel something stirring, something that seems over our head,

189
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: we discount who we are. We look at everything we

190
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: don't have, and we talk ourselves out of it. Jeremiah said, God,

191
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm too young, I don't have the experience, the training.

192
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't come from the right family. God knew all

193
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: that when he called Jeremiah. We look at where we are,

194
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: but God knows what he put in us. We can't

195
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: see the genes that are about to open. We don't

196
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: know the talent, the ability that's about to come out.

197
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: This is what takes faith. You have to believe not

198
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: only that God can do anything, but that He's put

199
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: in you everything you need to fulfill your purpose. They

200
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: feel like at times that you're lacking. It's over your head.

201
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: That's a sign that a destiny gene is about to open.

202
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: God will never ask you to do something and then

203
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: not give you the ability to do it. If it

204
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: seems like too much. That means greater ability is coming,

205
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: greater wisdom, greater resources, greater favor. God's about to touch

206
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: your mouth, so to speak, and cause you to excel

207
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: and go where you've never gone. Heard about this minister.

208
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: Before the service, he handed a man one hundred dollar

209
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: bill and asked him to put it secretly in his

210
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: wife's bible. During his message, the minister asked the woman

211
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: to stand up. He said, do you trust me? She

212
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: said yes, I do. He said, will you do what

213
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: I ask? She said yes, I will. He said, would

214
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: you please open your bible and give me a one

215
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: hundred dollar bill. She said, oh, I'm so sorry, Pastor,

216
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: I don't have a hundred dollar bill. He said it again.

217
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: Do you trust me? Yes, I trust you. Then please

218
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: open your bible and give me one hundred dollar bill. Frustrated,

219
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: she opened her bible and much to her surprise, she

220
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: saw one hundred dollars. She looked puzzled and said, how

221
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: did it get here? He smiled and said, I put

222
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: it there, and that's the way God is. He'll never

223
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: ask you for something without first putting it in you.

224
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: When you fell that call, you hear that still small

225
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: voice whispering something that seems over your head. You may

226
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: not think you have the wisdom, the strength, the skill,

227
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: the talent. But if you'll take that step, you'll discover

228
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: that God has put things in you that you never

229
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: knew you had. He's already ordained you before you were

230
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: formed in your mother's womb, to accomplish much more than

231
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: you think. See. I never thought there was a minister

232
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: in me. I didn't think I could get up here

233
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: and pastor. I was satisfied behind the scenes and felt

234
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: fulfilled doing the television production making my father look good.

235
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: He asked me many times during those seventeen years if

236
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: i'd get up and speak for him, and that was

237
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: always so odd to me. I thought I wouldn't know

238
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: what to say. I'm quiet and reserved. I like being

239
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: in the background. I always told him no. But when

240
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: my father passed, suddenly I had the desire to pasture

241
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: the church. This faith rose up in me. I knew

242
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: I was supposed to do it, but like Jeremiah, I

243
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: thought of all the reasons I shouldn't. I'm not qualified,

244
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: I don't have the training, I don't have a dynamic

245
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: personality like my father. But all those things I thought

246
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: I didn't have, like that one hundred dollars bill, I

247
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: discovered God had already put in me. I had the talent,

248
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: I had the courage, the wisdom, the favor, the right personality,

249
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: And for thirty six years that gene was lying dormant.

250
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: God had put it in me before I was formed,

251
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: in my mother's wound. There was a specific time for

252
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: it to open, and when it did, I discovered there

253
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: was a minister in me. There was an author in me,

254
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: an encourager in me, a leader in me. I thought

255
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: I'd do television production the rest of my life and

256
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: be at that same level, and that was all fine.

257
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: But God had greater things He had already destined me

258
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: to do. You may think that you've reached your limits

259
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: and you're satisfied where you are. Can I encourage you?

260
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: God has put things in you that you can't even

261
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: imagine right now. There are gifts you haven't tapped into. Talent, ideas, business, ministry.

262
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: It's lying dormant. But when you come into one of

263
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: these destiny moments that Gene is going to open and

264
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: you're going to step into levels you've never dreamed. If

265
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: you would have told me back in my twenties that

266
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: one day I'd be a minister and on television and

267
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: I would write books and we would have church in

268
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: the former Compact Center, I would have said, you're on

269
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: the wrong planet. I couldn't see it. This was more

270
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: than I could imagine. You have no idea what God

271
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: has already programmed for you. Here's the beauty. This is

272
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: not something you have to strive and manipulate, forced to happen,

273
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: step on people to get ahead. Now, just keep honoring God,

274
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: be in your best. Each day you will come into

275
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: these destiny moments where what He's ordained for you from

276
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: before you were born will thrust you further than you

277
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: ever thought possible. Jeremiah went on to say, your word,

278
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: oh Lord, is like fire shut up in my bones. Here.

279
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: A little earlier he was saying I'm too young, i

280
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: can't speak, I'm unqualified. Now he's saying, I've got fire

281
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: shut up in me. I've got talent, anointing power that

282
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 1: I never realized. I wonder what's shut up in you

283
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: right now? What has God already programmed you with that

284
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 1: you have no idea? Books shut up in you, Talent

285
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: shut up in you, a business shut up in you. Resources, leadership, courage,

286
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: wealth shut up in you. God has already ordained it

287
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: to happen. You've been faithful, You've done the right thing

288
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: when it was hard. I believe God is about to

289
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: release what's been shut up. Release the talent in you,

290
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: release the courage, release the success. You're gonna step into

291
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: resources that you never dreamed you would handle. Doors you

292
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: never expected to open, Talent you didn't know was in you.

293
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be ordinary, it's not gonna be common.

294
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: It's gonna be something your family has never seen, something

295
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: that will cause you to stand out, to impact the community,

296
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: to leave your mark. A friend of mine came here

297
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 1: from another country when he was a little boy with

298
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: his family and they didn't speak English, and his family,

299
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: the parents, they did their best to provide, but they

300
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: were very poor and had little education. It's a young man.

301
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: He got a job at a restaurant as a dishwasher,

302
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: making minimum wage, and look like that would be his

303
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: lot in life. That he was at a disadvantage. He

304
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: shouldn't expect anything more. But you don't know what God

305
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: has shut up in you. You can't judge your future

306
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: based on what you've seen in the past. There are

307
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: some destiny genes already scheduled to open. This young man

308
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: worked faithfully in the restaurant for fourteen years. The owner

309
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: decided that he wanted to retire, and he asked my

310
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: friend if he wanted to buy the restaurant. He was

311
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: so puzzled, he thought, I can't buy it. I'm working

312
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: in the kitchen. My family doesn't have any funds, and

313
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: I don't have any credit. The owner said, you don't

314
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: need any of that. I'm going to loan you the money.

315
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: You can pay me back over time. He sold him

316
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: the restaurant at half the value. It should have taken

317
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: him ten years to pay off the loan, but business

318
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 1: was so good he paid it off in six months.

319
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: He now owns it free and clear. He decided to expand.

320
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: Today he has a dozen restaurants all over town. He

321
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: never dreamed working as a dishwasher that one day he'd

322
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: be that successful. That bless You don't know what God

323
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: has shut up in you. There are some businesses that

324
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: are going to take off, some books, movies, charities that

325
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: are going to come out of you. The scripture says,

326
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water,

327
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: not out of your neighbor, your cousin, your boss, your pastor.

328
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: That's all good. But God has talent, potential, ideas, favor

329
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: that's going to come out of you, Paul said in Ephesians.

330
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we

331
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: can ask or imagine. Here's the key. According to the

332
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: power that works in you, it's already in you. God

333
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: has already programmed you to leave your mark, programmed you

334
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: to set a new level, programmed you to excel in business,

335
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: programmed you to impact your community. Had fires shut up

336
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: in your bones, is about to be released. God told

337
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: Abraham and Sarah that they were going to have a baby,

338
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: but they were both way too old. Sarah had already

339
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: gone through the change of life, and there was no

340
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: way logically speaking. But sometimes God will put things in

341
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: your spirit that don't make sense to your mind. He'll

342
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: give you a promise that defies the odds. When Sarah

343
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: first heard it, it was so far out she laughed,

344
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: She said, how could an old woman like me and

345
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: a worn out man like Abraham have a child? She

346
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: could have left Abraham out of that. In the natural

347
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: it was impossible. But God is supernatural. What he's already

348
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: programmed for your life is not going to happen just

349
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: by talent, your education, determination, by ordinary means. That's all good.

350
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: But what God has for you is going to take

351
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: supernatural power, supernatural favor, and supernatural healing. It's not going

352
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: to be ordinary, not what people expect. It's going to

353
00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: be uncommon, God doing what only he can do. And

354
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: God said in Genesis seventeen, I will give Sarah a son.

355
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: She will be the mother of nations, Kings of people

356
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: will come out of her. Here Sarah was doubting, discouraged,

357
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: thinking there was no way she had been bearing her

358
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: whole life, and in those days, if you didn't give

359
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: your husband a child, you were looked down on. She

360
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: felt shame and like she wasn't good enough. God showed

361
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: up and said, Sarah, I'm not just going to give

362
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: you a child. You have kings in you, you have

363
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: nations in you. I put royalty on the in size.

364
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: He was saying, Sarah, you have something you can't see

365
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: right now, something bigger than you can imagine. Yes, you've

366
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: been through disappointments. You weren't able to have children. But

367
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: if you only knew what I programmed for you, there's

368
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: a destiny Gene about to open. Nations are going to

369
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: come out of you. Royalty is shut up in your bones.

370
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: But like Sarah, we look at the circumstances, the bank account,

371
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: the medical report, my education, my position at were Joe,

372
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: I don't see how I can rise any higher, ever

373
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: be anything more than I am right now. How do

374
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: you know there are not kings in you? How do

375
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: you know what God has programmed you for when He

376
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: formed you before you were in your mother's wound. There

377
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: are things He has shut up in you that you

378
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: cannot comprehend right now, things that don't make sense. You

379
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: can't own restaurants, you're working as a dishwasher. You can't

380
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: pastor the church. You're too quiet, Jeremiah, you can't speak

381
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: to nations. You're too young, Sarah. You can't have a child.

382
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: You're ninety years old. God has put things in you

383
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: that are going to defde the odds that people can't explain.

384
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: God loves to do things far and beyond what we

385
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: can accomplish. That way, he gets all the credit. All

386
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: we can say is look what the Lord has done.

387
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: Worshiping in the former Compact center. This was programmed to

388
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: be ours before the building was ever built. My mother

389
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: healthy forty three years after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

390
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: That doesn't make sense. God stepped in, says, there's healing

391
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: shut up in your bones. Let me do what medicine

392
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: cannot do. Ninety years old and Sarah had a son.

393
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: She became the mother of nations, and kings came out

394
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: of her. You may have gone through some bearing years,

395
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: things haven't worked out, and now thoughts tell you that

396
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: you'll never accomplish the dream, never meet the right person,

397
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: never get well. Don't believe those lies. There are kings

398
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: in you. There are things you can't see right now

399
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: that are shut up in your destiny. Healing, promotions, spouses, children, books, business, abundance.

400
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: At the right time she did, You're gonna step into

401
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: that destiny moment where God releases what's been shut up.

402
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: The scripture says time and chance come together for every person.

403
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: God causes his purpose to collide with your destiny. When

404
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: it does supernatural things happen a baby. When you were

405
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: told you couldn't have children, your business takes off. The

406
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: right people track you down. You're having church in the

407
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: former basketball arena. Well, Joel, I don't think it's gonna

408
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: happen for me. I've had a lot of disappointments, a

409
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: lot of bad breaks. Sarah was bearing for ninety years.

410
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: It's not too late. What God started he's going to finish.

411
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes we let our mistakes, gil Man, I should have

412
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: done better. I missed my chance. It didn't go away.

413
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: God's calling on your life is irrevocable. He didn't change

414
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: his mind. What he programmed into you before you were

415
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: born is still going to happen. Those destiny genes are

416
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: already scheduled to open. Now. When opportunities come that seem

417
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: over your head, like Jeremiah, you'll be tempted to make

418
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: excuses and shrink back. Like Sarah, it's easy to laugh

419
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: and discount it. Why don't you get in agreement with God? God?

420
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: I believe you program me for greatness that before I

421
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: showed up, You put purpose and destiny in me, things

422
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: so big that I can't accomplish on my own. But God,

423
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: I believe you will make it happen. Stay in this

424
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: attitude of faith. If you do this, I believe and

425
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: declare the fire shut up in your bones is about

426
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: to be released. Dreams coming to pass. It looked impossible,

427
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: gifts coming out that you didn't know you had, favor

428
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: that catapults you ahead healing when the medical report says

429
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: there's no way. Divine connections the fullness of your destiny

430
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: in Jesus' name, and if you receive it, can you

431
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: say amen? Today? I'd like to give you an opportunity

432
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: to make Jesus the Lord of your life. Would you

433
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of

434
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: my sins, Come into my heart. I make you my

435
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: Lord and Savior. If you've prayed that simple prayer, we'd

436
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: love to send you some free information on your new

437
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: walk with the Lord. You can text the number on

438
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: the screen or go to the website. But I hope

439
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: you'll get into a good Bible based church and keep

440
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: God first place.

441
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 2: It's a new year, time to see the impossible become possible.

442
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: It's a new year.

443
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 2: Life setbacks are about to become God's setups for new opportunity.

444
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 2: It's a new year, cherished dreams will become unexpected reality.

445
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: The start of the new year is the perfect time

446
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: to reset your focus, release disappointments of the past, and

447
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: get ready for the new things God has in store.

448
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: Every January we create a new three hundred and sixty

449
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: five day devotional calendar. I'd love to send it to you.

450
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: Each day is filled with inspiration, scripture, and uplifting declarations

451
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: to fuel your faith. When you begin the day thanking

452
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: God for what He's done, speaking victory over your future,

453
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: you're positioning yourself for a blessed, favor filled year. Amazing

454
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: things happen when you keep God first place.

455
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 2: As our way of saying thank you for your gift

456
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 2: of any amount this first month of the year, we
