She saw this outfit in the 16 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: store window and decided to try it on, and she 17 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: liked it so much she secretly bought it. A couple 18 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: of days later, the husband discovered it. Said, honey, I 19 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: asked you to not buy any more clothes. She said, 20 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: I didn't mean to, but when I tried it on, 21 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: it looks so good. Satan tempted me and I just 22 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: couldn't resist it. But he said, WRI didn't use the 23 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: scripture and say get behind me. 24 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: Satan. 25 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: She said, I did, but he told me it looked 26 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: even better from a distance. 27 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 2: Say like you made it. This is my Bible. 28 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what 29 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says 30 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 31 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 32 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: heart is recepted. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name. 33 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: God bless you. 34 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about freedom from 35 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: your past. We've all had negative experiences that could hold 36 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: us back. Mistakes we've made, times we've compromised and done 37 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: things we shouldn't. 38 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: We can end up living in regrets, guilty, down on ourselves. 39 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 2: Sometimes it's what other people have done to us. 40 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: Hurts, betrayals, what they said, they've left, scars and wounds 41 00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: that contain our future, cause us to feel inferior, not worthy. 42 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: Some people have gone through trauma, dysfunction, a rough childhood, 43 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: a toxic relationship. They can take on this false sense 44 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: of responsibility, thinking they're to blame, and hey, I must 45 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: not be good enough or they wouldn't have treated me 46 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: that way. It's easy to become imprisoned by our past, well, 47 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: we don't move forward. We have these skeletons in our 48 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: closet and we live afraid in hiding. What if someone 49 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 1: finds out, He's going to be shame and embarrassment. 50 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 2: Here's the good news. 51 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: Nothing in your past has to stop your future. No 52 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: mistake you've made is too much for the mercy of God. 53 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: No hurts you've been through, no injustice, no trauma has 54 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: stopped what God has purpose for you. 55 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: He has beauty for those ashes, but you have to 56 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 2: step into it. 57 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: You can't live looking in the rear view mirror and 58 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: reach your destiny. 59 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 2: How much power are you giving to your past? Guilt, hurts, mistakes, 60 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 2: the threats. 61 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: When we've been through negative things, it's easy to develop 62 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: a fear that is going to happen again. Don't get 63 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: in that new relationship. You may get hurt another time. 64 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: You can't be in leadership. You can't accomplish your dreams. 65 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: You made too many mistakes. That's the enemy doing what 66 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: he does best, trying to convince you to use your 67 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: past to shrink back so you won't become who. 68 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 2: You were created to be. Don't believe those lies. 69 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: You know who wrote almost half of the books in 70 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: the New Testament, a man named Paul. He used to 71 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: be called Saul. He was the biggest enemy of the church. 72 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: He hated believers, even had them killed. He was constantly 73 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: making threats, telling them they're going to be arrested and 74 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: put in prison. But in one moment, God changed his life. 75 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: He went from Saul to the apostle Paul. But Paul 76 00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: could have lived in regret. 77 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: Think it. 78 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: I can't do anything great. I can't lead believers. I 79 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: used to hate believers. I can't write books promoting Christ. 80 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: Have too many skeletons in my closet, done too much wrong. 81 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: If Paul had become imprisoned by his past, we wouldn't 82 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: have half of the New Testament. 83 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: What will we miss out on if you let the 84 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 2: past keep you from sharing your gifts? 85 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: But Joel, I've got too many skeletons in my closet. Now, 86 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: when you ask God to forgive you, he cleans your clauset. 87 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 2: You can move forward in faith. All the threats. You're 88 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 2: gonna be embarrassed, You're not worthy. It's gonna happen again. 89 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: They've been taken care of. What's trying to harm you 90 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: has already been defeated. 91 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: That's just the enemy trying to keep your paralyzed by 92 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: the past. Break out of that box and step into 93 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: the greatness that. 94 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 2: God has for you. 95 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: In the scripture, Nimrod was the great grandson of Noah. 96 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: He'd heard all about the huge flood that covered the 97 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: earth and how his grandfather and seven of his relatives 98 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: were the only one spared. 99 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 2: Was a traumatic event. 100 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: Even though he lived two generations later, it had a 101 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: major impact on him. He was afraid that it might 102 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: happen again. He lived in fear, worried, traumatized by an 103 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: event that his relatives went through. Studies show how trauma 104 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: can be passed down, things that your ancestors dealt with 105 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: you weren't even born, but your DNA can be affected. 106 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: Researchers studied the Holocaust survivors. 107 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: The people that went through it weren't. 108 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: Just traumatized, but they found their children, their grandchildren down generations, 109 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: were still experiencing the fears, the threats, the triggers. Even 110 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: though they were safe, even though it was behind them, 111 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: they still had to deal with the feelings, thoughts, the imaginations. 112 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 2: And it wasn't like they're just being weak. Come on, 113 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: get over it. 114 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: These were real issues, not just mental but biological. Their 115 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: DNA was affected. You may wonder why you have to 116 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: deal with certain tendencies low self esteem, can't trust people 117 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: in a relationship, always afraid they're gonna leave, or not 118 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: thinking anything good will ever happen, like a spirit of 119 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: oppression makes you want to shrink back. 120 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: Those can be traits that have been passed down. Here's 121 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: the key. God has raised you up to break them. 122 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: You're the one to put. 123 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: A scot to generational limitations and to start generational blessings. Justice, trauma, dysfunctions, 124 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: wounds can be passed down, so can blessings. 125 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 2: Favor, confidence, victory. 126 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: You don't have to let the past dictate your future. 127 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: You can break free instead of a new standard. Genesis 128 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: eleven tells the story. 129 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 2: Of the Tower of Babel. It's believed that Nimrod is 130 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 2: the one. 131 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: Who built it, says huge skyscraper that reached up to 132 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: the heavens. Many Jewish scholars believe the reason Nimrod built 133 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: this tower was not just to get close to God, 134 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: but to have a high place to go to in 135 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: case it flooded again. He was building this structure out 136 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: of fear so he could escape what could be coming. 137 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: He didn't have a big boat like his great grandfather, 138 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: but he. 139 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: Had this tower. 140 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: He didn't realize God had promised the earth would never 141 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: flood again. He had heard all about the water, but 142 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: he hadn't heard about the rainbow. How many things are 143 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: we planning out of fear of what's happened in the past. 144 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: I can't break this addiction. All my relatives struggle with it. 145 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: I'll never have lasting relationships. We all go through breakups 146 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: or I can't take this stuff of faith. Oh, nobody 147 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: in my family successful. 148 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: We're doing like Nimrod, building up walls. 149 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: Defenses based on negative things in the past. 150 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: It's interesting that God brought the Tower of Babbel down. 151 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 2: They couldn't finish it. It is enough being destroyed. 152 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: We've all been through floods, have hurts, made mistakes. There 153 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: may be negative things that have been passed down, but 154 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: God is showing us here. You don't have to live 155 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: in fear of the past. What if it happens again? 156 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: What if someone finds out? What if that threat comes 157 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: to past? I better shrink back, put up some walls, 158 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: make plans for defeat. Don't be a nimrod. I'm gonna 159 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: set a nincompoop. Don't be a Nimrod. Don't spend your 160 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: life here in the past, paralyzed by what might happen. 161 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: You can't step into your future. If you're building towers 162 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: of babbel trying to escape the next flood, tray of 163 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: what could have happen. Know when the fear of your 164 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: past tries to hold you back, get your discouraged. 165 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 2: Look up in the sky by faith. See that rainbow. 166 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: God is saying it's not gonna flood again. I've taken 167 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: care of your past. I've cleaned your closets. I've forgiven 168 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: your mistakes. I've plan beauty for the ashes, joy for 169 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: the morning, healing for the hurts, new beginnings for that loss. 170 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: Don't waste your time building a tower of babble, making 171 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: plans to escape the hurts, to escape the trauma, escape 172 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: the flood. If you're gonna build anything. 173 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 2: Build a tower of hope, a tower of faith. Believe 174 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: that your past is forgiven, that the threats are gone. 175 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: That's what's held you back, has been broken. That you 176 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: are free to step into the favor, the blessing, the 177 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: joy that God is destined for you. When the Israelites 178 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: were delivered out of slavery, they left Egypt and headed 179 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: toward the Promised Land. After years of abuse mistreatment, these 180 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: two million people were finally freeing. As they were leaving, 181 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: I can see them rejoicing, giving high fives, so excited. 182 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: But then the Pharaoh changed his mind and send his 183 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: army chasing after them. Well, Pharaoh represents the past, the hurts, 184 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: the traumas, the injustice. The past will always come chasing you. 185 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: The Israelites were trying to get into their future. 186 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 2: They knew God had opened this. 187 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: Door, but they couldn't escape the past. Pharaoh's men were 188 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: catching up, and they could hear the hoof prints from 189 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: the horses getting closer and closer. Anytime you try to 190 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: move forward, don't be surprised if you hear the past 191 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: chasing you, reminding you of the mistakes you've made. 192 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 2: You can't expect anything good. You don't deserve it. 193 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: The hurts, the wrongs, those that walked away, It's gonna 194 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: happen again. Those are the hoof prints. The enemy whispering 195 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: lies trying to get you're paralyzed by the past. The 196 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: Israelites came to a dead end at the Red Sea, 197 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: and they're past caught up with them. The Pharaoh and 198 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: all the chariots just a few miles away, looked like 199 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: they'd be recaptured. But God will never let your pass 200 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: dictate your future. 201 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 2: He will always make a way of escape. 202 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: You may hear the hoofprints of your past chasing you now. 203 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 2: You try to move. 204 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: Forward, but there's always that guilt, the fear, that nagging 205 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: feeling you're gonna get hurt again, or that mistake will. 206 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 2: Always haunt you. 207 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: Can't seem to get past your past. That's what happened 208 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: to the Israelites. They had nowhere to go. Then suddenly 209 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: the Red Sea parted. God made a way where they 210 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: didn't see away, and these two million people walk through 211 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: on dry ground. 212 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 2: That could have been the end of the stories. 213 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: The waters closed up kept the Pharaoh in his army 214 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: on the other side. 215 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 2: That would have been a great miracle, But God knew. 216 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: The the Israelites would always be looking over their shoulders, 217 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: living in fear, knowing that Pharaoh's army could show up 218 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: at any minute. God didn't want them to be focused 219 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: on the past, living with that threat, wondering what might happen, 220 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: So we left the Red Sea open, Pharaoh's army came 221 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: chasing full speed ahead. I'm sure the Israelite thought, oh great, 222 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna catch us. Now we made it through, but 223 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: they're faster than us. But then right on queue, the 224 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: walls of water came crashing down. 225 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 2: All the enemy drowned. 226 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: Not one of them survived. Now the Israelites never had 227 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: to fear the Pharaoh again. 228 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 2: The threat was gone. 229 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: Maybe you've had some hoofprints chasing you, and every time 230 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: you try to move the head, you hear the past coming, 231 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: reminding you of all your mistakes, the threats, what's not 232 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: gonna work out Like. 233 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: God did for them. He's taken care of your past. 234 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 2: You don't have to live. 235 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: Looking over your shoulder, letting those hoofprints cause you to 236 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: shrink back, trying to build a tower in case it 237 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: happens again. This is a new day. That threat has 238 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: been taken care of. Now here's the key. 239 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 2: You have to. 240 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: Change the images you're allowing in your mind. Many times 241 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: we're letting negative memories play. Times we've been hurt, trauma, 242 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: we've experienced that DNA that's passed down of what our 243 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: relatives went through. That's on the movie screen of our mind, 244 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: reminding us of the hurts, the failures. 245 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 2: But you can't move forward when you're looking back. 246 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: Turn off all those images and start seeing yourself blessed, happy, 247 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: in great relationships, accomplishing. 248 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 2: Your dreams, rising to new levels. 249 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: See the enemy wanted the Israelites to always see themselves 250 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: as runaway slaves. God free, But you're still a slave. 251 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: You're still inferior, at a disadvantage. He would love for 252 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: the negative things in your past to determine your identity, 253 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: how you see yourselves, your worth, your value. If you've 254 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: been mistreated, he'll whisper it's because you're not valuable. That 255 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: person walked out on you, broke your heart. He'll whisper, 256 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: you're not attractive, You made mistakes. God, off course, you're 257 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: not worthy. Don't believe those lies. Nothing that's happened in 258 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: your past has lessened your value. You are still a son, 259 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: a daughter of the most oi God. You are still 260 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: a masterpiece, one of a kind, a prize possession. Nothing 261 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: you've been through, no trauma, no hurt, no injustice, has 262 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: stopped the purpose God has for you. Nothing has canceled 263 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: your assignment. You are not defined by your past. 264 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: You are prepared by your past. 265 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: If God allowed it to happen, then it deposited something in. 266 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: You that you're going to need for your future. 267 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: Now you have to do your part and keep moving forward, 268 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: keep making plans for the good things that are in store. 269 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: And sure at times we're gonna hear the hoof prints, 270 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna feel the past chasing you. That's just a memory. 271 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: It's just an imagination. You have to learn to cast 272 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: them down. It's not telling you the truth. That's the 273 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: enemy trying to get you in fear of the past, 274 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: running from the what ifs? What if Pharaoh catches up, 275 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: What if my mistakes come back. 276 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 2: To haunt me. 277 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: What if these waters don't part Joel like they did 278 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: for the Israelites. 279 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get hurt again. 280 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: God is saying to you what he said to Moses 281 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: at the Red Sea. The enemies you see today you 282 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: will see no more. Your past has been taken care of. 283 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: All those that were trying to stop you. The guilt, 284 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: the hurts. The God took care of that at. 285 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: The Red Sea. 286 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: You don't have to live looking over your shoulder, hiding 287 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: from mistakes, intimidated over what you've been through, you can 288 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: be like the Apostle Paul, leave the past behind and 289 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: step into the great things God has for you. When 290 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: I was in the ninth grade, I tried out for 291 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: the baseball team. 292 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: And i'd played second base. 293 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: All through Little league and growing up, and I was 294 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: pretty good. I always made the all star team. 295 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 2: But when I got to. 296 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: High school, my friends were growing much taller than me, 297 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: and I started my freshman year at four feet eleven 298 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: inches tall. Some of my friends had passed me up 299 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: by foot. I went to tryouts. I gave it my 300 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: very best. The next friday, the coach called me in. 301 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: He said, Joe, you're a good player, but you're too 302 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: small to. 303 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 2: Play at this level. You're not gonna make the team. 304 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,479 Speaker 2: I was so disappointed. 305 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: All my friends were on the team and the coach 306 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: didn't mean anything wrong, but what I heard was, Joel. 307 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 2: You're not enough. 308 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: You're limited, You're at a disadvantage, You're inferior. Words can 309 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: create wounds. What's been spoken over you can leave scars 310 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: that keep you from stepping up to who you were 311 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: created to be. In This caused me to shrink back 312 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: and not be sure of myself, and I wasn't as 313 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: outgoing and more reserved, thinking, maybe there's something wrong with me. 314 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: The enemy loves to use things people say and exaggerate them, 315 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: blow it out of proportion to where it limits us 316 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: and becomes a stronghold in our thinking. But I've learned 317 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: what you say about yourself is more powerful than what 318 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: anyone else says about you. You believe what you say 319 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: more than what others say. But sometimes we get in 320 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,479 Speaker 1: agreement with the negative things that have been spoken over us. 321 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: That begins to determine who we are. Whenever I started 322 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: to move forward, i'd hear that coach. 323 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 2: You heard the. 324 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: Voice, joel, you're too small, you're not enough, you don't 325 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: measure up. It was like those hoo friends. The past 326 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: will always come. 327 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 2: Looking for you.

The threat has 346 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: been taken care of. Your past is in the red sea. 347 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: What was trying to stop you. 348 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 2: God has put an end to it. 349 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: Now quit believe in those threats and move forward in faith. 350 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 2: And that's what I did. 351 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: I stopped letting the coach's words play in my mind 352 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: all throughout the day. I started telling myself who God 353 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: says I am. God, you said I'm just the right size, 354 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: that I have been fearfully and wonderfully made. You said 355 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: that I can do all things through Christ, that I'm strong, talented, favored, anointed, 356 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: a giant killer, a history maker. 357 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 2: Destined to leave my mark. 358 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: When you tune out negative voices from the past and 359 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: start to declaring what God. 360 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 2: Says, about you. 361 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: You'll step into a future bigger, brighter than you've ever dreamed. 362 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: Little by little, I kept reprogramming my thinking. I never 363 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: did play baseball in high school, but many years later 364 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: I stood at second base in Yankee Stadium for our 365 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: Night of hope. I may have been too small to 366 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: play baseball, but I wasn't too small to speak to 367 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: a whole lot of people. 368 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 2: Do you need to get free from what someone has 369 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: spoken over you? A coach, a teacher, a parent, a friend. 370 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 2: They don't determine your destiny. God does. 371 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: But if you're rehearsing negative voices, that's going to create 372 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: a stronghold that will. 373 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 2: Keep you from the great things that belong to you. 374 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: You have to get in agreement with God, reprogram your 375 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: thinking with what He says about you. When Moses was 376 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: a young man, he knew he was supposed to deliver 377 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: the Israelites out of slaps avery. He was born a Hebrew, 378 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: but he was raised in Egypt in the palace by 379 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: the pharaoh's daughter. 380 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 2: One day he saw an Egyptian foreman mistreating a Hebrew slave. 381 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 2: He didn't think anyone was watching. 382 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: He's going to stand up for the Hebrews and he 383 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: killed the foreman. You can do the right thing at the. 384 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 2: Wrong time, and it's a mistake. People saw what Moses did. 385 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: He had to flee for his life. 386 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: He spent years hiding in the desert, running from a mistake, 387 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: running from his past. Sure, he felt guilty, down on himself, 388 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: thinking that he had missed his destiny. For forty years, 389 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 1: he hit his gifts, hit his talents, hit his dreams. 390 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: Anytime he tried to move forward, there was the past. 391 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 2: Don't put you done, Moses. You don't deserve to be blessed. 392 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 2: You blew it. 393 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: Sure, there are consequences for bad choices. He had to 394 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: take a detour into the desert. But mistake don't cancel 395 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: your destinies. God doesn't right you off because you're not 396 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: where you're supposed to be. He's going to give you 397 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: another chance to do what he's called you to do. 398 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: After forty years, God showed up in a burning bush, 399 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,959 Speaker 1: said Moses, now is the time to deliver my people. 400 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: Go tell the Pharaoh to let them go. I can 401 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: imagine Moses thought, no, thanks God, I'm not going back there. 402 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: They know what I did. I'll get arrested, I'll be 403 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: put in prison, I could be killed. He was saying, God, 404 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: I've got all. 405 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 2: These skeletons in my closet. I need to stay in. 406 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: Hiding where it's safe, so no one will find out. 407 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: God has a way of cleaning your closets. You don't 408 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: have to live haunted by your past and. 409 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 2: Afraid to move forward. 410 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: His mercy will cover your mistakes. Moses was telling God 411 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: all the reasons he couldn't do it. And I'd been 412 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: through too much and the opposition was too big. God 413 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: said him in Exodus four, do not be afraid to 414 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: return the Egypt, for all those who were trying to 415 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: kill you are dead. 416 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 2: Moses was living. 417 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: In hiding, afraid of what might happen, running from his mistakes. 418 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: God showed up and said, Moses, I've already taken care 419 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: of your past, all those. 420 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 2: Things that could have harmed you. I put a stop 421 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 2: to it. 422 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: Are you doing like Moses, running from your past, hiding 423 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: because of mistakes, living in regrets. God is saying to 424 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: you what he said to him. Don't be afraid. 425 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 2: I've taken care of your past. You don't have to live. 426 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: Feeling guilty, unworthy, afraid of what someone will say. 427 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 2: God has you covered, get back in the game. 428 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: There's not a mistake you've made that has stopped your purpose. 429 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: You may hear some hoof prints, a favor's army past 430 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: chasing you, reminding you of the hurts, the trial, all 431 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: that is headed to the Red Sea. God has taken 432 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: care of every threat, every mistake, every injustice, the negative 433 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: things in your past. 434 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 2: That's dead. What's trying to stop you is done. 435 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: Now you have to do your part and go back 436 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: to Egypt. That means go back to dreaming, go back 437 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: to loving the people God's given you, go back to 438 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: believing that you're worthy, go back to living with passion, 439 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: with faith, with expectancy. You don't have time to waste 440 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: being a prisoner of your past. 441 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 2: You have a destiny to fulfill. There's a calling on 442 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 2: your life. 443 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: If Moses had gotten stuck in the past, he would 444 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: have never delivered the Israelites. It had never parted the 445 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: Red Sea, never seen manna in the wilderness, never had 446 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: water come out of a rock. 447 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 2: What am I saying? 448 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: The best part of his life happened after a failure, 449 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: after he'd spent years. 450 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 2: Running from his past. Who knows where God will take you? 451 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: If you'll go back to Egypt, if you'll quit running 452 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: from your past, dwelling on the herbs, reliving the trauma, 453 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: hiding your gifts, fringe. Your past is cleared, not in 454 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: the Red Sea, but on the Cross two. 455 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 2: Thousand years ago. 456 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: All those things who were trying to harm you, that's done. 457 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 2: There's a rainbow in the sky. Not gonna be another flood. 458 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: No use building a tower, building walls, building defenses, planning 459 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: on more trauma. Why don't you receive the mercies, receive 460 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: the forgiveness.
