She was cooking breakfast for her 53 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 6: young boys. Ryan was five and Kevin was three. They 54 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 6: begin to argue over who should get the first pancake. 55 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 6: The mom saw it as an opportunity to teach them 56 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 6: a lesson. She said, boys, boys, if Jesus were here, 57 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 6: he would say, let my brother have the first pancake. 58 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 6: Ryan turned to his younger brother and said, okay, Kevin, 59 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 6: you be Jesus. 60 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 4: All right, hold up your Bible and say it like 61 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 4: you mean it. 62 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 6: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 63 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 6: I have what it says I have. I can do 64 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 6: what it says I can do. Today I will be 65 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 6: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 66 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 6: is alert, my heart is receptive. 67 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. 68 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 6: In Jesus' name, God bless you. 69 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about how you 70 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 4: can have an extreme makeover. 71 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 6: Seems like we're always hearing about how we can look 72 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 6: better and feel better. I saw the other morning, all 73 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 6: these techniques to look younger. There were seven things we 74 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 6: could do to supposedly take. 75 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 4: Ten years off of our age. 76 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 6: Billions and billions of dollars are being spent by people 77 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 6: having what's commonly called a makeover. And of course, there's 78 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 6: nothing wrong with wanting to improve, nothing wrong with wanting 79 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 6: to look better. But I found true change starts on 80 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 6: the inside. 81 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 4: It starts in our thinking. 82 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 6: You can change the outside, but if you don't change 83 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 6: the inside, it's not going to last. It may give 84 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 6: you some temporary happiness, you may feel better for a while, 85 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 6: but long term, you will always default back to what 86 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 6: you believe about yourself. 87 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 4: Your self esteem, your sense. 88 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 6: Of value, your level of confidence that will always override 89 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 6: the physical. Few years ago, a young lady came up 90 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 6: for prayer. She was one of the most beautiful young 91 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 6: ladies that I've ever seen. On a scale of one 92 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 6: to ten, she was a ten plus. She was working 93 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 6: in the entertainment industry, traveling with a certain show, very successful. 94 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 6: I asked what she wanted to pray about. I thought 95 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 6: it'd be her family, her career, something like that, but 96 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 6: she said Joel, I wish you'd pray for me. I 97 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 6: feel so unattractive. I thought to myself, you cannot get 98 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 6: any more beautiful. 99 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 4: But that's the way the enemy works. 100 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 6: He tries to manipulate our thinking and deceive us into 101 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 6: believe in these lives. What you believe about yourself, your 102 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 6: self esteem, your sense of value, your sense of worth, 103 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 6: that will set the. 104 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 4: Limits for your life. If you don't. 105 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 6: Think you're talented, you can have all the talent in 106 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 6: the world, but you'll never tap into it. If you 107 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 6: don't think you have a good personality, you don't have 108 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 6: much to offer. Your own thoughts will keep you from 109 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 6: rising higher. If you think you're unattractive and you don't 110 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 6: quite measure up, and you're always wishing you were something different, 111 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 6: then those negative feelings toward yourself will keep you from 112 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 6: blossoming into who God created you to be. True change 113 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 6: starts on the inside. The problem many people have today 114 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 6: is they don't really like themselves. They go around with 115 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 6: a nagging feeling down in here, like something's. 116 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 4: Wrong with them. They focus on their faults. They relive every. 117 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 6: Disappointment in their mind. There's a recording constantly playing You're 118 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 6: so slow you can't do anything right, You'll never be happy. 119 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 6: You've been through too much. They wonder why they don't 120 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 6: enjoy life, why they don't have any enthusiasm. 121 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 4: Here's the key. 122 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 6: You cannot be negative towards yourself and expect to live 123 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 6: a positive, faith filled life. 124 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 4: You need to have an extreme. 125 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 6: Makeover, but not on the outside, on the inside. 126 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 4: If you'll get. 127 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 6: Your thinking corrected and start thinking like a champion, like 128 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 6: a child of the most High God, like you've been 129 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 6: crowned with favor, then you'll be. 130 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 4: Amazed at what will happen. 131 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 6: Instead of going around thinking I don't have a good personality, 132 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 6: I don't have much to offer. No, just turn it around. 133 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 6: I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am one of 134 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 6: a kind. I know I am a masterpiece. Instead of 135 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 6: thinking I'm so slow, I can't do anything right. No, 136 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 6: I'm talented, I'm creative, I have great ideas. 137 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 4: Instead of dwelling on. 138 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 6: I never get any breaks, nothing good ever happens to me. No, 139 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 6: God's favor is surrounding me. Goodness and mercy fall of me. 140 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 6: Whatever I touch prospers and succeeds. When you think like that, 141 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 6: a transformation is taking place. An extreme makeover starts on 142 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 6: the inside. Think about a hog. A hog's nature is 143 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 6: to get dirty. 144 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 4: He likes to. 145 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 6: Play in the mud. That's the way he's been programmed. 146 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 6: That's what's wired into his thinking. Let's just imagine you 147 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 6: decide to give that hog an extreme makeover. 148 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 4: You can take him. 149 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 6: To the best spa in the world, put him in 150 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 6: a bubble bath, polish his nails, give him a pedicure, 151 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 6: exfoliate his skin. You can put botox in his wrinkles, 152 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 6: tie a bowl around his neck. You get finished, and 153 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 6: you think, man, that is one hot looking hog. But 154 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 6: you know as well as I do. When you get 155 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 6: back home and let him out of the truck, he's 156 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 6: not gonna go to the swimming pool and put his 157 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 6: sunglasses on and drink iced tea. He's gonna go as 158 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 6: fast as he can right back to that mud hole. 159 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 6: He's not gonna show off to his friends. He's not 160 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 6: gonna prance by and say I'm looking good today. He's 161 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 6: going to go that mud and roll over and over 162 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 6: get just as dirty and filthy as he was before. 163 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 6: Now one time will he say, oh, man, I messed 164 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 6: up my nails. Why is that you changed the outside, 165 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 6: but lasting change comes from the inside. It comes from 166 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 6: what we believe about ourselves and who we really feel 167 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 6: that we are. I remember seeing this lady on television. 168 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 6: She had been extremely overweight, and they put her on 169 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 6: a diet and exercise program, and after a year or two, 170 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 6: she had lost over two hundred and fifty pounds. 171 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 4: She looked great, she went down to a size ten. 172 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 6: Her before and after pictures you could hardly even recognize her. 173 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 6: But in this interview she did not have one ounce 174 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 6: of joy. She seemed to be as depressed as could be. 175 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 6: She never even smiled. The reporter finally picked up on 176 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 6: it and asked her what was wrong with her? Wasn't 177 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 6: she proud of what she had accomplished? I'll never forget 178 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 6: what she amed? 179 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 4: Answered. She said, I don't know what's wrong with me. 180 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 6: I guess in my mind, I'll always be fat. What 181 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 6: was her problem? She had transformed the outside, but she 182 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 6: had never transformed the inside. 183 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 4: Many people go around. 184 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 6: Just like her with low self esteem, feeling less than 185 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 6: they look good on the outside. They smile, they're friendly, 186 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 6: but inwardly they're negative toward themselves. They live in regrets. 187 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 6: That recording's constantly playing you blew it. 188 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 4: You weren't a good parent. 189 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 6: You're the reason the marriage failed, that business went under 190 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 6: because you're. 191 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 4: Not smart enough. 192 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 6: They allow all these thoughts to play internally, and it's 193 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 6: stealing their sense of value. We need to put on 194 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 6: a new recording. If we're going to live in victory, 195 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 6: we have to have this transformation. The apostle Paul tells 196 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 6: us how to have an extreme makeover. God's way. It's 197 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 6: found in Romans, chapter twelve, verse two. He said, be 198 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 6: transformed by the renewing of your mind. That word transform 199 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 6: in the original language is metamorpho. It's where we get 200 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 6: our word metamorphos. We all know how a worm metamorphous 201 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 6: is into a butterfly. And this is saying that if 202 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 6: we will get our thoughts going in the right direction, 203 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 6: if we will renew our mind and not dwell on 204 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 6: these condemning less than inferior thoughts, then a transformation is 205 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 6: going to take place, an extreme makeover. You think about 206 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 6: little worm, a little caterpillar. It starts off as one 207 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 6: of the most unattractive, unsightly insects, very bland, nothing special 208 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 6: about it. But just because it starts there, does it 209 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 6: mean it's going to stay there. God has predestined it 210 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 6: to go through a transformation. At one point, it'll form 211 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 6: that cocoon and a metamorphos will start to happen. 212 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 4: It's a process. 213 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 6: He begins to change little by little, and one day 214 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 6: he'll start to push out of that cocoon. 215 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 4: All of a sudden, a leg will come. 216 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 6: Out, then a wing will break out, and finally his 217 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 6: head will come out. Before long, he's totally free from 218 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 6: that cocoon. He can fly wherever he wants to go. 219 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 6: Instead of crawling around on the ground struggling trying to 220 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,119 Speaker 6: find food, now he simply flies over to the beautiful flowers. 221 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 6: That butterfly spends most of his time eating the sweet 222 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 6: nectar from those flowers. That's the kind of change the 223 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 6: scripture's talking about. It'll happen when we renew our mind. 224 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 6: It's an extreme makeover, and we may not like to 225 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 6: admit it, but in a way, we all start off 226 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 6: as worms. 227 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 4: Our thinking is not where it should be. 228 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 6: Without the proper training, our mind will gravitate toward the negative. 229 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 6: We'll think things like I can't take that promotion, I'm 230 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 6: not qualified, I'll never be successful. I come from the 231 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 6: wrong family or Joel, God could never bless me. 232 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 4: I've made so many mistakes. I don't deserve it. How 233 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 4: many times have I heard people tell me, Joel, I'm. 234 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 6: Just a weak worm of the dust. You know what 235 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 6: I call those kind of thoughts. Those are wormy thoughts. 236 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 6: The good news is, just because we start there doesn't 237 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 6: mean we're going to finish there. God has predestined us 238 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 6: to go through this transformation. He has preordained us, so 239 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 6: to speak, to go from a worm to a butterfly. 240 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 6: But here's the key. It's not up to God, It's 241 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 6: up to us. The only way this transformation is going 242 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 6: to take place is if we will get our thinking 243 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 6: consistently in line with God's word. Some people go around thinking, 244 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 6: I'll never be a good parent, I'll never get my 245 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 6: business off the ground, I'll never lose this weight, Joel. 246 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 4: No, those thoughts are going to keep you in your cocoon. 247 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 6: You have to realize there is a great parent in 248 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 6: you right now, just waiting to be released. There is 249 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 6: a successful, prosperous person already in you, just waiting to 250 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 6: come out. There is a healthy, whole man or woman 251 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 6: on the inside, just waiting to go through that transformation. 252 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 6: If you're going to see your metamorphis take place, you 253 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 6: have to be convinced that in me right now is 254 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 6: a great dad. In me right now is a great mom. 255 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 4: You may be. 256 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 6: Struggling with an addiction, but you've got to know in 257 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 6: me right now is a person that's totally free. It's 258 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 6: just a matter of time before they come out. 259 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 4: You're in the cocoon. 260 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 6: But because you're in faith, because your thoughts are going 261 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 6: in the right direction, your transformation is in process. When 262 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 6: those negative thoughts come telling you that you're never going 263 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 6: to get better, you're never going to change now, you 264 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 6: just need to remind yourself I'm being transformed right now. 265 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 6: My metamorphois is already underway. God is in the process 266 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 6: of changing me. That's how you get the butterfly out. 267 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 6: Not by dwelling on your weaknesses, your mistakes, your disappointments. 268 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 4: No, dwell on the fact that. 269 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 6: You are forgiven, you are redeemed, you are valuable. When 270 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 6: you dwell on that, you are one step closer to 271 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 6: coming out of that cocoon. And some of you have 272 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 6: been in your cocoon year after year. God is so 273 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 6: ready to take you to a new level he is 274 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 6: so ready to release a. 275 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 4: New wave of his favor. 276 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 6: You need to rise up and say it is my 277 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 6: time to be transformed. I've been in this cocoon too long. 278 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 6: I Am done dwelling on the mistakes I've made and 279 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 6: the negative things people have said, and all my disappointments. 280 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 6: I'm going to put on a new recording. I am 281 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 6: who God says I am. I am redeemed, I am forgiven, 282 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 6: I am accepted, I am approved, I am talented, I 283 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 6: am creative, I am equipped, I am empowered. When you 284 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 6: do that, you better watch out. I can see a 285 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 6: wing starting to break out. I can see one of 286 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 6: their legs pushing that cocoon back. You keep that up, 287 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 6: and before long you'll be transformed into that beautiful butterfly. 288 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 6: Let me tell you, I don't believe I'm looking at 289 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 6: any worms. I can see your value, I can see 290 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 6: your potential. I know you've been created in the image 291 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 6: of Almighty God. I know you have seeds of greatness 292 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 6: on the inside. Every one of you is in the 293 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 6: process of changing. My prayer today is I'm on push 294 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 6: you further along. I'm gonna convince you to shake off inferiority, 295 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 6: shake off rejection, shake off disappointments, shake off every negative things. 296 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 4: Folks over you. This is a new day. 297 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 6: You're extreme makeover, I believe has begun. 298 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 4: I heard a story about this older gentleman. 299 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 6: He lived in a little hut on an island in 300 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 6: the South Pacific. 301 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 4: He was a sculptor. 302 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 6: He spent his whole life working with wood and carving 303 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 6: different items, and he was very talented at what he did. 304 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 6: And one day he was walking by this beautiful plantation. 305 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 6: There was this picturesque white home, acre after acre of 306 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 6: green grass and beautiful palm trees. The wealthiest man on 307 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 6: the island lived there. And as he passed by, he 308 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 6: noticed these tree trunks that had been cut down that 309 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 6: were piled up over. 310 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 4: On the side. 311 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 6: He asked the plantation owner what he was going to 312 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 6: do with those discarded tree trunks, and the man said, oh, 313 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 6: that's just trash, that's junk. 314 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 4: We're going to have them hauled away. He said, well, 315 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 4: would you mind if I had one of them? 316 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 6: Would you give me one? The man looked at him 317 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 6: kind of strangely. He said, well, if you want an 318 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 6: old piece of dead beat up wood, you're welcome to 319 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 6: take it. That sculptor put it on his back and 320 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 6: took it to his little village hut, and he stood 321 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 6: it up on the inside, and he began to walk 322 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 6: around and around it, very carefully, studying it, analyzing it. 323 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 6: He looked at that piece of wood as if he 324 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 6: was trying to free something that had been trapped on 325 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 6: the inside. After a couple of hours of contemplating it, 326 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 6: he finally got it and began to work. He started 327 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 6: car and carving day after day, whittling away with exact precision. 328 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 6: After several weeks, he had carved the most beautiful. 329 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 4: Eagle that you could ever imagine. It was majestic looking. 330 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 6: He had its wings outstretched, his head up, his claws back, 331 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 6: soaring through the air. The detail on it was incredible. 332 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 6: He put it out on his front porch of that 333 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 6: little village hut. A few months later, the plantation owner 334 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 6: came walking by. He saw the eagle, and he was 335 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 6: so impressed. He came up to it and began to 336 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 6: study it and just was amazed at the detail and 337 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 6: marveled at how beautiful it was. 338 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 4: After a few minutes, he. 339 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 6: Said to the sculptor, where did you get this is beautiful? 340 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 6: I would like to buy it from you. The sculptor 341 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 6: just kind of smiled and said, no, sir, it's not 342 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 6: for sale. 343 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 4: He was insistent. He went on and on. 344 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 6: He said, name your price, I really want to buy it. 345 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 6: He finally agreed to sell it to him for five 346 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 6: hundred dollars. The man paid him and he picked it up. 347 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 6: He was walking out so proudly. As he got a 348 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 6: little ways down the road, the sculptor said to him, sir, 349 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 6: I don't know if you realize it, but you just 350 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 6: paid me five hundred dollars for that piece of junk 351 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 6: wood that you gave me a few months ago. That 352 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 6: man kind of shook his head. The next day, the 353 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 6: sculptor was walking by the plantation. He saw a sign 354 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 6: on the woodpile. It said tree trunks for sale, five 355 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 6: hundred dollars each. At least he learned his lesson. But 356 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 6: what's my point? That old sculptor was able to see 357 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 6: something in the discarded piece of wood that other people 358 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 6: couldn't see. The plantation owner saw it as trash, as junk, as. 359 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 4: Of no value. 360 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 6: But the sculptor was able to look beyond the surface, 361 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 6: beyond the flaws, and he saw its potential. He saw 362 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 6: what it could become. That's the way God is, your creator. 363 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 6: Can see things in you that other people cannot see. 364 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 6: Sometimes people try to push us down, try to make 365 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 6: us feel inferior. Sometimes our own thoughts will try to 366 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 6: convince us. 367 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 4: That we just don't measure up. 368 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 6: But God has the incredible ability to look past the outside, 369 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 6: beyond our mistakes, beyond what people have said, and God 370 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 6: sees your value, He sees your potential. You may think, man, Joel, 371 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 6: I've blown it. I've made so many mistakes. I'm sure 372 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 6: I'm washed up. No, God can still see the egle. 373 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 4: In the wood. He doesn't just see what you are. 374 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 4: God sees what you can become. 375 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 6: You may kind of feel like that old worm, but 376 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 6: God still sees the butterfly. You don't know what you 377 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 6: have in you. You don't know what you're capable of. 378 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 6: You may feel like that you've already reached your limits, 379 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 6: but when God looks at you, he sees new levels. 380 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 6: You may feel like you've blown your chances, but God 381 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 6: sees new opportunities. 382 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 4: People may have tried. 383 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 6: To push you down, but God sees you lifted up. 384 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 6: He sees you soaring. 385 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 4: He sees that eagle being released. 386 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 6: I'm asking you today to get rid of any inferiority, 387 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 6: any condemnation, any negative words that have been spoken over you, 388 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 6: and begin to renew your mind. Start believing that you 389 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 6: are forgiven, that you are valuable, that you are redeemed, 390 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 6: and believe that your egle is going. 391 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 4: To be released. 392 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 6: I think about Jacob in the scripture. He didn't have 393 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 6: a lot of character. He was a cheater, he was dishonest. 394 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 6: He even tricked his own brother out of his birthright. 395 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 6: He would be someone we would compare to, that discarded 396 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 6: piece of wood. Surely God wouldn't use him. Surely God 397 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 6: would find somebody more perfect, somebody with less flaws. No, 398 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 6: God doesn't judge people the way we judge them. 399 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 4: God is full of mercy. He sees things in people 400 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 4: that we can't see. 401 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 6: And somehow I believe Jacob had the attitude. This is 402 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 6: not who I really am. I'm not a cheater, I'm 403 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 6: not a deceiver. Yes I've got some flaws. Yes I've 404 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 6: made some mistakes. But I know I'm better than this. 405 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 6: I know there's an eagle on the inside, just waiting 406 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 6: to be released. I believe, deep down Jacob knew the 407 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 6: butterfly was coming. No doubt, he felt like that discarded 408 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 6: piece of wood, but he knew God wasn't finished with him. 409 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 6: You may feel like, how could God bless me, Joe? 410 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 6: How could God forgive me? You have to realize God 411 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 6: can see the eagle in the wood. He sees the 412 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 6: butterfly in the worm. God sees a champion in every failure. 413 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 4: That's just the way God is. 414 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 6: But the way this transformation takes place is for you 415 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 6: to believe that you're forgiven. 416 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 4: Believe that there's mercy for every mistake. 417 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 6: Believe that you are who God says you are, valuable, forgiven, 418 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 6: redeemed a person of divine destiny. In the Old Testament, 419 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 6: there was a time when an army came in and 420 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 6: attacked the city of Jerusalem, kidnapped many of the people, 421 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 6: and killed their king. 422 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 4: Now, for the first time. 423 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 6: The people of Israel were without a leader. They were 424 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 6: down and discouraged, didn't know what to do. And as 425 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 6: they sat there feeling helpless in self pity, the prophet 426 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 6: Michael rose up and began to speak faith into the people. 427 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 4: He said, why are you crying? Why are you discouraged? 428 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 4: Is there not a king in you. 429 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 6: I believe God is saying that to each one of us, 430 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 6: there is a king on the inside of you. You 431 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 6: may have failed a thousand times, but the king. 432 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 4: Is still in you. 433 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 6: You may have been through disappointments, maybe you missed some 434 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 6: good opportunities, but let these words sink deep down into 435 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 6: your spirit. The king is still on the inside. People 436 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 6: may have tried to push you down, tried to make 437 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 6: you feel inferior, but realize what they said about you 438 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 6: doesn't change what. 439 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 4: God put in you. 440 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 6: God always has the final say, and he said, he 441 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 6: put a king in you. 442 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 4: He put a queen in you. 443 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 6: You need to put your shoulders back, hold your head 444 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 6: up high. You have royal blood flowing through your veins. 445 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 6: You are wearing a crown of favor. 446 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 4: You have on a. 447 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 6: Robe of righteousness. You've been armed with strength for every battle. 448 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 6: You are surrounded by God's favor. You have a treasure 449 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 6: on the inside. You are set apart as God's special children. 450 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 6: And I believe today I'm not looking at average people. 451 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 4: I'm not looking at. 452 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 6: Anyone ordinary, anyone mediocre. When I look out at you, 453 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,719 Speaker 6: I know I'm looking at royalty. I see kings, I 454 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 6: see queens, I can see your crown of favor. I 455 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 6: see children of the Most High God. You got to 456 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 6: start calling out the king, start calling out the queen. 457 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 6: Don't you dare sit there and say, well, this isn't 458 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 6: for me today, Man, Joel, I fail so many times. 459 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 4: I'm sure I'm all washed up. 460 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 6: No, that didn't change what God put on the inside. 461 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 6: You couldn't be any worse than Jacob. He felled again 462 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 6: and again. One thing I love about God is he 463 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 6: never gives up on us. God kept working with Jacob, 464 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 6: making him molding him. One day, God said, Jacob, I'm 465 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 6: gonna change your name. His name literally meant deceiver. God said, 466 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 6: I don't want you to be called that anymore. You've 467 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 6: gone from a worm to a butterfly, from a discarded 468 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 6: piece of wood to an eagle. Your new name is 469 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 6: going to be Israel. Israel means prince with God. He 470 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 6: went from being called a cheater to being called a king. 471 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 6: Now when people came up to him, instead of saying 472 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 6: hey Jacob, hey cheater, they would say, hey Israel, hey king, 473 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 6: Hey prince with God. You can imagine what that did 474 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 6: to his self esteem. No doubt, he started thinking, I'm 475 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 6: not a deceiver. I'm not a manipulator. That's not who 476 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 6: I am. I'm a prince. I've been chosen by Almighty God. 477 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 6: I've got a destiny to fulfill people, to help goals, 478 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 6: to reach, dreams, to realize. He began to renew his mind, 479 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 6: and just like God promised, a transformation took place. And 480 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 6: some of you today, the only thing that's holding you 481 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 6: back is your own thoughts toward yourself. You're focused on 482 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 6: the times you've blown it, on your mistakes, on how 483 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 6: you didn't measure up. You need to reprogram your thinking, 484 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 6: get rid of those wormy thoughts and start thinking. 485 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 4: Like a champion. 486 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 6: Have the attitude I am who God says I am. 487 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 6: I am forgiven, i am valuable. 488 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 4: I am royalty. 489 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 6: You've got to call out the king, call out the queen. 490 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 6: Think about Jacob in the natural, it didn't look like 491 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 6: there was a king in him. He seemed to be 492 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 6: as ordinary as could be. You may feel that same 493 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 6: way as rich ordinary. But every morning when you get up, 494 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 6: you need to remind yourself just speak it by faith. 495 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 6: I am royalty. I have the seed of Almighty God. 496 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 6: There is something special about me. And when those thoughts 497 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 6: come saying you're never gonna be a good parent, You're 498 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 6: never gonna break that addiction. Instead of dwelling on it, 499 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 6: just turn it around and say, no, this is where 500 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 6: I am, but this is not where I'm staying. I 501 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 6: know there's a King in me. I'm coming up higher, 502 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 6: I'm growing, I'm changing. If you will call out the King, 503 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 6: call out the Queen, that's your faith at work, and 504 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 6: you'll see God bring things out of. 505 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 4: You that you didn't even know were in you. Now. 506 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 6: I believe today is going to be the start of 507 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 6: some transformations, some metamorphosis. Strongholds of insecurity and inferiority are 508 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 6: being broken right now. You're gonna feel a new sense 509 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 6: of your value. You're gonna have a new boldness. There's 510 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 6: a new courage to step out and do what God 511 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 6: has put in your heart.
