I like 45 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 6: to start with something funny, and I heard about this 46 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 6: elderly lady that was close to death. She had never 47 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 6: been married, and she called her pastor over to talk 48 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 6: about her funeral. She said that she only wanted female pallbearers. 49 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 6: Pastor looked at her kind of strange and asked why. 50 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 5: She said. The men wouldn't take me out when I 51 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 5: was alive, and they're not going to take me out 52 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 5: when I'm dead. 53 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 6: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 54 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 6: I am what it says I am. I have what 55 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 6: it says I have. I can do what it says 56 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 6: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 57 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 6: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 58 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 6: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 59 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 6: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 60 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 6: about rest from your enemies. We all have things as 61 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 6: that come against us and try to keep us from 62 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 6: our destiny. Most of what we struggle with didn't start 63 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 6: with us. It was passed down things like depression, addictions, anger, divorce. 64 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 6: Studies show how that can get passed from generation to generation. 65 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 6: If your mother was depressed, there's a good chance you'll 66 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 6: have to deal with depression. If your father was an alcoholic, 67 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 6: had anger issues, wasn't faithful to his wife, those are 68 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 6: traits that can affect you. Just like a lady that's 69 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 6: on drugs and gives birth to a baby. That baby 70 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 6: can have the same addiction as the mother. There's no 71 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 6: fault of the babies, it's just life. The good news 72 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 6: is there is a way to put a stop to it. 73 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 6: What you're dealing with may not have started with you, 74 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 6: but it can stop with you. God wants to give 75 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 6: you rest from those enemies. He wants to put an 76 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 6: end to what's limiting you. 77 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 5: But there's something we. 78 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,119 Speaker 6: Have to do. As long as we accept dysfunction as 79 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 6: the norm, it will never change. If you see that addiction, 80 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 6: that depression, that lack and struggle as your lot in life, 81 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 6: you'll not only get stuck, but you'll pass it on 82 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 6: to the next generation. And this is what the Israelites did. 83 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 6: In Judges fifteen, the Philistines had been ruling over them 84 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 6: for forty years. An angel appeared to a young lady 85 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 6: and said, you're going to have a son. You are 86 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 6: to name him Sampson. He's going to have supernatural strength. 87 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 6: He will deliver the Israelites from the Philistines. And as 88 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 6: he grew up, the Philistines could tell there was something 89 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 6: different about Sampson. Every time they tried to bind him, 90 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 6: he would break those cords. He was a huge threat 91 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 6: to them. So the Philistines circled the Israelites camp and 92 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 6: were about to attack. The men of Judah went out 93 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 6: and said, hey, why are you coming against us. 94 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 5: We're not bothering you. We're your slaves. 95 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 6: They said, we've come to get Samson. He's causing us trouble. 96 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 6: Instead of recognizing that Sampson had been raised up to 97 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 6: deliver them from the Philistines. Instead of saying, yes, this 98 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,799 Speaker 6: is a new day. We're not living in mediocrity anymore. 99 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 6: We're done being ruled by this enemy, the Israelites were 100 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 6: so comfortable in dysfunction they went to Samson and tied 101 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 6: him up. He wasn't tied up by the enemy. He 102 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 6: was tied up by his friends. They said in verse eleven, Sampson, 103 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 6: don't you realize the Philistines rule over us? 104 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 5: Why are you making it even worse? 105 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 6: They were saying, this is our lot in life. Samson 106 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 6: has been this way for forty years. You really think 107 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 6: something's going to change? Just accept it? How many times 108 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 6: is God sending us a say Amsen? 109 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 5: But we think like the Israelites. I'll always be. 110 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 6: Lonely, Joel. I've been this way for years. I'll never 111 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 6: break this addiction. I've had it a long time. I'll 112 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 6: never get out of debt. My family always struggles. As 113 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 6: long as you accept the dysfunction, and even when God 114 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 6: sends you away out, even when a Samson shows. 115 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 5: Up, you'll talk yourself out of it. 116 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 6: Because they were stuck in their thinking, they tied up 117 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 6: the one that was sent to deliver them. Are you 118 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 6: tying up your breakthrough, so to speak, tying up your healing. 119 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 5: Your promotion, your abundance. 120 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 6: Because the dysfunction is so familiar, it's been that way 121 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 6: so long, you think it's normal to live depressed, addicted, angry, lonely. 122 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 6: This is a new day. You may have been ruled 123 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 6: by those things for years. They may have been passed 124 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 6: down by previous generations, but that is not your destiny. 125 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 6: God sent me as a Samson. He's using my voice 126 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 6: to tell you it's time to break free. 127 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 5: It's time to rise higher. 128 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 6: What's limited you in the past doesn't have to limit 129 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 6: you in the future. 130 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 5: You can break that addiction. You have the most powerful. 131 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 6: Force in the universe, breathing in your direction. You can 132 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 6: rise out of lack struggle, not heaven enough. You have 133 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 6: seeds of greatness. You were created to lend and not borrow. 134 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 6: You can be free from depression, low self esteem, insecurity. 135 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 6: God crowned you with favor. He put a robe of 136 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 6: honor on you. You have royal blood flowing through your veins. 137 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 6: Don't let limited thinking keep you from your destiny. You 138 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 6: can't think this is the way it's always going to be, 139 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 6: and expect to rise to the next level. And this 140 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 6: is where the Israelites missed it. They were so afraid 141 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 6: of the Philistines, so convinced they were going to rule 142 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 6: them their whole life. They went to Samson, their friend, 143 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 6: their deliverer, and. 144 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 5: Tied him up. 145 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 6: When the Philistines saw that he was bound, they went 146 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 6: over to get him, thought, finally we can relax. But 147 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 6: the spirit of the Lord came on Sampson. He broke 148 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 6: those cords like they were threads. He picked up the 149 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 6: jawbone of a donkey and wiped out over a thousand Philistines. 150 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 6: What's interesting is he broke the chains not of his enemies, 151 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 6: but of his friends. God was showing us Sometimes the 152 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 6: people closest to you, the ones that raised you, your 153 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 6: family and friends. They may tell you just settle where 154 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 6: you are. Don't you know these things rule over us. 155 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 6: You'll never get your degree, you'll never meet the right person, 156 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 6: You'll never break that addiction. Like Sampson, they cannot keep 157 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 6: you chained up. God has put a supernatural strength on 158 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 6: you to fulfill your destiny. Your family, your friends, your neighbors. 159 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 6: They don't know what's in you. They can't keep you 160 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 6: from rising higher. They may be good people, they're sincere, 161 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 6: but their vision is limited. Don't fall into that trap. 162 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 6: God has called you to be a Samson, to deliver 163 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 6: your people, to set a new standard for your family, 164 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 6: to break chains that have held you back. Sometimes it's 165 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 6: not our enemies that are limiting us. Our friends have 166 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 6: tied us up. Everyone close to you may not be 167 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 6: for you. They can say discouraging things, just settle. Their 168 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 6: depression runs in this family. Your dad was broke, your 169 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 6: granddad was broke. You're going to be broke to no offense. 170 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 6: But they're trying to tie you up. Are you going 171 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 6: to accept the dysfunction, settle for mediocrity, or are you 172 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 6: going to say I don't think think so. 173 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 5: I'm better than this. 174 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 6: I know the power that's in me is greater than 175 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 6: any before. It's trying to stop me. When God breathed 176 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 6: his life into you, he destined you to leave your mark. 177 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 6: He gave you the power to break chains that have 178 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 6: held your family back for generations. He anointed you as 179 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 6: a Samson to take new ground. Don't let mediocrity become 180 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 6: the norm. It may have been that way as far 181 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 6: back as you can see. You have to draw the 182 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 6: line in the sand and say the buck stops with me. 183 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 6: I'm not going to live tied up. My relatives may 184 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 6: have been bound. My friends may be fine with dysfunction, 185 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 6: my coworkers may be okay with living depressed, angry, addicted, 186 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 6: But not me. I'm going to be a Samson. I'm 187 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 6: going to break chains. I know I was born to 188 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 6: make a difference. Somebody has to be the first one 189 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 6: in the family to not be addicted, to not get 190 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 6: a divorce, to not live paycheck to paycheck, to not 191 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 6: go around angry and defended. Why can't it be you? 192 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 6: Why can't you set a new standard. Why can't you 193 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 6: raise great children? Why can't you have an exceptional career? 194 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 6: You're a Samson. You've been equipped, you've been in power. 195 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 6: God has called you to deliver your people. Second Chronicles fourteen, 196 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 6: a young man named Asa became the new king of Israel. 197 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 6: His father had died, and now he took the throne. 198 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 6: He inherited a land that was filled with idols, pagan shrines, 199 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 6: monuments to different kinds of gods. His father passed down compromise, dysfunction, mediocrity. 200 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 6: That's what he had seen growing up. That was normal 201 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 6: to him. He could have continued it on thought, this 202 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 6: is the way it's always been. 203 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 5: Dad was with these idols. Everybody likes worshiping these different gods. 204 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 5: I'm not going to rock the boat. 205 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 6: But Asa understood this principle that just because something gets 206 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 6: passed down doesn't mean you have to continue it. Just 207 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 6: because somebody close to you has changed you, so to speak, 208 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 6: to compromise dysfunction doesn't mean you have to stay bound. 209 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 6: He knew he was anointed to be a Samson, that 210 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 6: he could break chains, that he could take new ground. 211 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 6: The scripture says Asa removed the pagan shrines, he smashed 212 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 6: the sacred pillars. He's chopped down the asherer polls where 213 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 6: the people worshiped. ASA didn't accept the dysfunction. He didn't 214 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 6: let what was passed down limit his life. He took responsibility, said, 215 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 6: in effect, this compromise didn't start with me, but it 216 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 6: is going to stop with me. He didn't make excuses 217 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 6: think that he had a reason to live that way. 218 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 6: He was a difference maker. 219 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 5: He wasn't passive. He didn't do it quietly. 220 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 6: He smashed the pagan shrines, he pulled up those altars. 221 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 6: He was serious about fulfilling his destiny. And because he 222 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 6: did this, Verse six says the Lord gave him rest 223 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 6: from his enemies. If you want rest from your enemies, 224 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 6: you have to do like he did and get rid 225 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 6: of negative things that have been passed down. As long 226 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 6: as you're accepting it, you're going to struggle the bad attitude, 227 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 6: the anger, the addiction. Most likely it didn't start with you. 228 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 6: Will you be the ASA and remove it? Will you 229 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 6: be the one to rise up and say, I am 230 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 6: not going to let this anger rule my life anymore. 231 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 6: I'm not going to accept lack and defeat and struggle 232 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 6: as my destiny. I'm not going to learn to live 233 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 6: with depression, anxiety, low self esteem. I'm going to be 234 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 6: an Asa. I'm going to smash those strongholds. I'm gonna 235 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 6: pull down those wrong mindsets. If you will become an 236 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 6: Asa and not take what was passed down as your destiny, 237 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 6: God will give you. 238 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 5: Rest from those enemies. 239 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 6: I talked to a man that had been an alcoholic 240 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 6: for nearly thirty years. Twenty two years he had had 241 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 6: a drug addiction. These are the things that keep getting 242 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 6: passed down until someone rises up and decides to be 243 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 6: an Asa and do something about it. Studies show that 244 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 6: if your father was an alcoholic, you are ten times 245 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 6: more likely to become an alcoholic. That's a spirit going 246 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 6: from generation to generation. Ninety percent of the people in 247 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 6: prison one of their parents was incarcerated. Somebody has to 248 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 6: rise up and break the news. Negative psychle and the 249 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 6: reason people tell you that if your father struggled, you 250 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 6: will struggle is because they're looking at the wrong father. 251 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 6: When you gave your life to Christ, you became a 252 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 6: new creation. 253 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 5: There may be a lot. 254 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 6: Of negative baggage in your bloodline, but now you have 255 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 6: a heavenly father. You're not limited by the natural. You 256 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 6: have a supernatural force to help you overcome this. Gentleman, 257 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 6: wasn't a religious person. He wasn't raised in church. But 258 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 6: one day he got so low, he was so desperate, 259 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 6: he said, God, please help me. He went to a 260 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 6: bookstore to try to find a book on overcoming addictions, 261 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 6: and he pulled one off the shelf. This other book 262 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 6: fell on his foot. 263 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 5: It's very strange. 264 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 6: He didn't know what caused it to fall. He picked 265 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 6: it up, and it was my book. He had never 266 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 6: seen me, he didn't know who I am. But start 267 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 6: flipping through it, reading some passages, and something began to 268 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 6: come alive on the inside. He took it home and 269 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 6: learned what I'm telling you, that just because something was 270 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 6: passed down doesn't. 271 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 5: Mean you have to continue it. 272 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 6: He read that book in three days and said from 273 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 6: that day forward, he never touched another drug, never touched 274 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 6: the alcohol. He was set completely free. What happened he 275 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 6: became an ASA. He didn't accept the dysfunction as the norm. 276 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 6: When you make that decision that enough is enough, you're 277 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 6: not going to live addicted, angry, letting things rule you, 278 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 6: then God will help you overcome what you could not 279 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 6: overcome on your own. Joshua said it this way, you 280 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 6: will not defeat your enemies until you remove these things. 281 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 6: Are there some things you need to remove. Asa had 282 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 6: to remove the idols that weren't please to God. This 283 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 6: man had to remove the alcohol, the drugs that were 284 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 6: destroying his life. My father had to remove a poverty 285 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 6: mindset that he was raised with. If he hadn't done that, 286 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 6: I wouldn't be standing here. You may need to remove 287 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 6: the anger, the jealousy, the regrets. When you say, like this, man, God, 288 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 6: I can't do this on my own. Help me break 289 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 6: this addiction. Help me resist this temptation. God, help me 290 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 6: get rid of this bitterness. When you humble yourself and 291 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 6: ask God to help you and then take bold steps 292 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 6: like Asa to remove what's holding you back, God will 293 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 6: make things happen that you could never make happen. 294 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 5: He will give you rest from those enemies. Here's the key. 295 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 6: What you don't put a stop to will eventually put 296 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 6: a stop to you. If you don't put a stop 297 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 6: to that bad attitude, it's going to stop you. If 298 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 6: you don't put a stop to the angler, the addiction, 299 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 6: the regrets, they will keep you from your destiny. If 300 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 6: Asa had not put a stop to the dysfunction, that 301 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 6: would pass down his life would have been a constant struggle. 302 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 6: Always uphill the message. Translation says asa cleaned house. Do 303 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 6: you need to do some house cleaning? Are you allowing 304 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 6: some things to stay that you know are not good? 305 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 6: My challenge is put a stop to it before it 306 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 6: stops you. Don't let a critical attitude keep you from 307 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 6: your purpose. Everybody in your family may be that way. 308 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 6: Recognize that's not normal. Don't learn to function in the dysfunction. 309 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 6: Remove it and God will take you to a new level. 310 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 6: Don't let a lack of mentality, a poverty mindset keep 311 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 6: you in mediocrity. Joel, I'll never have enough. Nobody in 312 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 6: my family is successful. God wants to give you rest 313 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 6: from that enemy of lack, that enemy of not having enough. 314 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 6: If you will get rid of the limited thinking and 315 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,479 Speaker 6: start having a prosperous, more than enough mindset, knowing that 316 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 6: favor is surrounding you like a shield, then God will 317 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 6: open the windows of heaven. He'll cause opportunity, blessing increase 318 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 6: to chase you down. But too often we think what's 319 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 6: on the outside is stopping us. I believe if we'll 320 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 6: look inside and get rid of what we know is 321 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 6: not good, then we'll see God's favor in new ways. 322 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 6: There was a grandfather that fell asleep one afternoon in 323 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 6: the family room. His grandchildren decided to play a trick 324 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 6: on him. They took some real strong smelling cheese. It's 325 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 6: very potent, smelled very bad. While he was sleeping, they 326 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 6: snuck over and they carefully rubbed it on his mustache, 327 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 6: right under his nose. In a few minutes, he woke 328 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 6: up and thought, something really stinks in here. He left 329 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 6: that room and went into the kitchen and thought, boy 330 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 6: stinks in here too. Went to his bedroom, same thing. 331 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 6: Why does it smell so badly? Finally he went outside, 332 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 6: hoping to get some relief from the stinking. He took 333 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 6: a deep breath, shook his head, and said, man, the 334 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 6: whole world stinks. This is what happens when we hold 335 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 6: on to things that we should get rid of. If 336 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 6: you'll remove the bad attitude, the stink will go away. 337 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 6: If you'll remove the compromise giving it to temptation, the 338 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 6: stink will lead. As long as you're allowing it to stay, 339 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 6: it's going to follow you everywhere you go. If you 340 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 6: live guilty in regrets, beating yourself up for past mistakes, 341 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 6: that's going to stink up your office, stink up your attitude, 342 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 6: stink up your relationships. Don't you remove the regrets? Why 343 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 6: don't you get rid of the guilt. You can't do 344 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 6: anything about the past, but you can do something about 345 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 6: right now. Maybe you need to remove the self pity. 346 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 6: You've had some tough breaks, went through a loss, somebody 347 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 6: did you wrong. If you stay focused on that, your 348 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 6: life is going to stink. You may not realize it, 349 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 6: but when you stink, other people can smell it. When 350 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 6: you're offended, bitter, angry, nobody wants to be around you. 351 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 5: That stink is going to push. 352 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 6: Away new relationships, new opportunities. Why don't you remove it 353 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 6: may have been passed down, you have a good reason 354 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 6: to feel the way you do. It soured your life 355 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 6: long enough. Don't let it continue to sour you. The 356 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 6: truth is we all have some stinky stuff, some dysfunction, 357 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 6: some regrets. I've learned the people that keep moving forward, 358 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 6: the people that keep enjoying their lives, are the people 359 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 6: that are good at removing the stink. Complaining about the 360 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 6: stink only makes it sink even more. If you stay 361 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 6: focused on the stink, you're angry at the people that 362 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 6: hurt you, always thinking about how they did you wrong. 363 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 6: The problem is that seed can get in you. You 364 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 6: can become the very thing that you don't like. When 365 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 6: the scripture tells us to not take an offense, it's 366 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 6: not just so we won't be offended. 367 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 5: So we won't get sour. 368 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 6: If we take the offense, the seed will get in us. 369 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 6: We can become what they are. That's why it's so 370 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 6: important to remove it. Let it go. God will be 371 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 6: your vindicator. God will make up for what you didn't get. 372 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 6: How you were raised, what was passed down. That does 373 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 6: not have to keep you from becoming who you were 374 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 6: created to be. 375 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 5: Friend of mine grew up in. 376 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 6: A home where his father wasn't faithful to his mother. 377 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 6: He saw his dad run around on his mom. This 378 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 6: young man became very hurt and confused by it, and 379 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 6: over time he got to the point where he hated 380 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 6: his father. He wouldn't be around him, wouldn't speak to him. 381 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 6: He couldn't wait till he got old enough to leave 382 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 6: the house. He went away to college and eventually got 383 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 6: married and had several children of his own. A few 384 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 6: years later, he started running around on his wife, doing 385 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 6: the same thing to his kids that he hated so 386 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 6: much about his father. That's what happens when we hold 387 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 6: on to things that we should let go of. The 388 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 6: seed can get in us. You have to do like 389 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 6: Asa and say, I am removing it. I am not 390 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 6: living angry, offended, letting this dysfunction affect me and my children. 391 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 6: I'm going to be a difference maker. The buck is 392 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 6: going to stop with me. There was a young man 393 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 6: in the scripture named Levi. 394 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 5: He had a lot of issues. 395 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 6: He was angry, he was dishonest, He deceived people. One time, 396 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 6: somebody took advantage of his sister. It was a big deal. 397 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 6: He was very angry. He went to the city where 398 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 6: it took place. He said to the leaders, everything will 399 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 6: be fine. We'll forgive you if all of the men 400 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 6: will be circumcised. Once you do that, then we'll make peace. 401 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 5: Act like it never happened. They agreed. 402 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 6: The men were circumcised while they were healing. When they 403 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 6: couldn't defend themselves, Levi and his men came in and 404 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 6: wiped out the whole town. He had deceived them. What's 405 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 6: interesting is Levi's father was Jacob. 406 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 5: You remember, Jacob. 407 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 6: Was a deceiver. He cheated his brother out of his birthright, 408 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 6: tricked him into trading his whole inheritance all for a 409 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 6: bowl of soup. Now, Jacob's son Levi was just like him. 410 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 6: But if you go back one generation, Jacob's mother, Rebeccah, 411 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 6: was the same way. 412 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 5: When her husband Isaac was near death. 413 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 6: And about to give the blessing that belonged to their 414 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 6: firstborn son, Esau, Rebecca loved Jacob more than Esau. She 415 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 6: came up with the plan to trick Isaac. He couldn't see, 416 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 6: he was almost blinded. She told Jacob to dress up 417 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 6: like Esau. They made sure he smelled like his brother. 418 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 6: Then she said, now Jacob, go in and tell your 419 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 6: father that you are Esau. He did this and received 420 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 6: the blessing that belonged to his brother. But the deception, 421 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 6: the dishonesty, started back with Rebecca got passed down to 422 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 6: her son Jacob. He was dishonest. Now Jacob's son Levi 423 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 6: was the same way. Looked like that was going to 424 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 6: continue to get passed down. But one day Moses was 425 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 6: up on a mountain. He just received the ten commandments, 426 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 6: and when he came down, the Israelites were having a 427 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 6: while the party they had made a calf out of 428 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 6: gold that they were worshiping. When Moses saw it, he 429 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 6: was furious. Here God had just delivered them out of slavery, 430 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 6: parted the Red Sea. Now these two million people were 431 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 6: worshiping an idol. Moses pulled out his sword and said, 432 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 6: who is on the Lord's side. Of all the people 433 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 6: there that day, the leaders of the different tribes of 434 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 6: Israel didn't say anything. Joshua didn't say anything, Eron didn't 435 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 6: say anything. The scripture says the sons of Levi spoke 436 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 6: up and said, Moses, we are on the Lord's side. 437 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 6: They were saying, in effect, this is a new day. 438 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 6: We are not going to be defined by our past. 439 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 6: We're not going to let how our father lived, how 440 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 6: our grandfather lived, what our great grud mother did. We 441 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 6: are not going to pass that dysfunction down in our 442 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 6: family line. We're going to take a stand and do 443 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 6: what's right. That day they brought a generational curse and 444 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 6: started a generational blessing. Because of that decision, God said, 445 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 6: from now on, all of the priests will come through 446 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 6: the tribe of Levi. In the Book of Genesis, they 447 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 6: were cursed by their grandfather in the Book of Leviticus, 448 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 6: they were the most blessed, honored people. This is what 449 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 6: happens when you get rid of negative things. 450 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 5: That have been passed down. 451 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 6: You'll not only have rest from your enemies, but you'll 452 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 6: set a new standard for your family. 453 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 5: It all starts. 454 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 6: When you remove what's holding you back. Do you need 455 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 6: to remove anger, remove dishonesty, remove a wrong mindset. It 456 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 6: may not have started with you, but it can stop 457 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 6: with you. There may be a lot of negative baggage 458 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 6: in your bloodline. God is saying today, who is on 459 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 6: the Lord's side? 460 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 5: If you'll rise up and say that's me. 461 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 6: I'm a difference maker, and I believe and declare like 462 00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 6: the sons of Levi. 463 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,719 Speaker 5: God is to promote you and honor you. 464 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 6: Like Samson, You're gonna break chains that have held your 465 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 6: family back for generations. And like King Aesa, God's going 466 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 6: to give you rest from your enemies in Jesus' name, 467 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 6: And if you receive it, can you say it? 468 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 4: Man? 469 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 6: Today?

Just say Lord Jesus, I 472 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 6: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make 473 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 6: you my Lord and savior.
