And I like to start with something funny. 48 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 4: And I heard about Tom Brady, the star quarterback for 49 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 4: the New England Patriots. He made it to heaven and 50 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 4: God showed him his house and it was a one story, 51 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 4: modest house on a rather small lot. Later, Brady was 52 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 4: looking around and he saw this magnificent house on an 53 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 4: incredibly big lot, and right in the front was this 54 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 4: huge statue of Tim Tebow surrounded by fountains, and everything 55 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 4: was decorated in orange and blue, Tebow's team colors. It 56 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 4: even had a huge swimming pool in the shape of 57 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 4: a broncho. Tom Brady said, God, I don't mean to 58 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 4: sound ungrateful, but I've won the Super Bowl. How come 59 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 4: his house is so much bigger than mine. God said Tom, 60 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 4: that's not Tebow's house, that's my house. 61 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 5: Hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. 62 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 5: This is my I am what it says I am. 63 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 64 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 65 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 66 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 5: is alert my heart is receptive. 67 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 68 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 69 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 4: hitting the delete button. Our mind is like a computer, 70 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 4: and how we program it will determine how it's going 71 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 4: to function. You can have the most expensive, powerful computer 72 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 4: you can find, but if you put the wrong software 73 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 4: in it, it's not going to perform up to par. 74 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 4: In the same way, many people are not living a 75 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 4: victorious life. Not because their hardware is defective, not because 76 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 4: there's something wrong with them, but they've allowed their thinking 77 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 4: to become contaminated. They start believing the lies. I'm not talented, 78 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 4: I don't have a good personality. Too many mistakes. I've 79 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 4: reached my limits. Just like a virus can slow down 80 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 4: a perfectly good computer, our wrong thinking can keep us 81 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 4: from our destiny. If you're going to live in victory, 82 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 4: you've got to know how to hit the delete button 83 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 4: that thought comes you're just average, your ordinary. Delete, I'm 84 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 4: a masterpiece. I'm one of a kind. You've seen your 85 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 4: best days. It's all downhill from here. Delete. My future 86 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 4: will be brighter than my past. You've made too many mistakes, 87 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 4: You're all washed up. Delete I'm forgiven. God's mercy is 88 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 4: new every single morning. Some of you, if you just 89 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 4: start hitting the delete button, your life would go to 90 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 4: a new level. You can't go through the day thinking 91 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 4: negative thoughts and expect to live in victory. Your life 92 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 4: is going to follow your thoughts. Romans twelve two says 93 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 4: to renew your mind with God's word. That simply means 94 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 4: your software with what God says about you. God says 95 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 4: you're blessed, you're talented, you're equipped, You're forgiven, You're more 96 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,679 Speaker 4: than a conquer all through the day, That's what should 97 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 4: be playing in our mind when thoughts come saying otherwise, 98 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 4: No big deal, Just hit the delete button, don't give 99 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 4: it the time of day. I know this man that 100 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 4: had a very successful company for many years. Everything was 101 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 4: going great. Then the perfect storm hit. The economy went down, 102 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 4: a competitor moved close by. He lost a big client. 103 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 4: Long story short, he had to close his business. When 104 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 4: I'd see him, he wasn't the same person. He'd lost 105 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 4: his fire, lost his enthusiasm. Those thoughts were playing over 106 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 4: and over in his mind. You're a failure, you let 107 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 4: people down, You've seen your best days. I told him 108 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 4: what I'm telling you your software has become contaminated. You 109 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 4: have to start deleting those thoughts that are telling you 110 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 4: you're a failure. See, the enemy is called the accuser 111 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 4: of the brethren. He'll try to remind you of every 112 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 4: mistake you've made, every disappointment, every weakness. He knows if 113 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 4: you're against yourself, you will never fulfill your destiny. You 114 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 4: have to delete the condemning, accusing voices. Listen, we've all 115 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 4: made mistakes, we all have things that we wish we 116 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 4: could do over. But the past is the past. Quit 117 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 4: beating yourself up. You're not supposed to go around feeling 118 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 4: wrong on the inside. Turn off the negative recording that's 119 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 4: reminding you of everything that you're not. Delete those thoughts 120 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 4: and put on a new recording. I am forgiven, I 121 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 4: am accepted and approved by Almighty God. I have a 122 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 4: bright future. I am a masterpiece. Sometimes it's not our 123 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 4: own thoughts that are holding us back, it's the negative 124 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 4: things other people have spoken over us. Words are like seeds. 125 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 4: If we dwell on them long enough, they'll take root 126 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 4: and become a reality. And in life, there will always 127 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 4: be people telling us what we cannot become. How we 128 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 4: don't have what it takes. How our dreams are not 129 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 4: going to come to pass. Too often we latch on 130 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 4: to the negative and we develop what the Scripture calls 131 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 4: a stronghold. That's a wrong thought, that's keeping us from 132 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 4: our destiny. And I know people that had something negative 133 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 4: spoken over them twenty years ago and it's still impacting 134 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 4: their life. A parent told them, you'll never be successful, 135 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 4: a coach said you're too small, you don't have what 136 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 4: it takes. A coworker, you'll never break that addiction. Instead 137 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 4: of hitting the delete button, they played it over and over. 138 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 4: Now it's keeping them from God's best. You need to 139 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 4: take inventory of your thought life. What are you dwelling on? 140 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 4: What do you believe about yourself, your family, your future? 141 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 4: Ask yourself, where did these thoughts come from? Do they 142 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 4: line up with what God says about me? In the 143 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 4: Book of Genesis. In the Garden of Eden, one time 144 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 4: God couldn't find Adam, and even God said, Adam, where 145 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 4: are you? Adam said God, we're hiding because we're naked. 146 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 4: God answered back, something interesting, He said, Adam, who told 147 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 4: you you were naked? In other words, who told you 148 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 4: something's wrong with you? God? Immediately knew they had been 149 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 4: listening to the wrong voices. God is saying to us today. 150 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 4: Who told you you're not talented, Who told you you'll 151 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 4: never be successful, Who told you you've made too many mistakes? 152 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 4: You need to delete those thoughts. Those are the wrong voices. 153 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 4: They will contaminate your software. This is what my father did. 154 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 4: When Daddy was seventeen years old, he gave his life 155 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 4: to Christ, the first one in the family. He told 156 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 4: his parents that God had called him to preach and 157 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 4: he was going to go out and start ministring. The 158 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 4: dream was burst on the inside. His parents were cotton farmers. 159 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 4: They had lost everything during the Great Depression. Daddy grew 160 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 4: up extremely poor, no money, no education, no future to 161 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 4: speak of. His parents. They were good people, but they 162 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 4: were limited by their own experiences. They said, John, you 163 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 4: better play it safe and just stay here with us 164 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 4: and pick cotton. What they were really saying was, John, 165 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 4: we're just a have rich people. We don't really have 166 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 4: what it takes. John, You're going to get out there 167 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 4: and you might fail. And of course, my father loved 168 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 4: and respected his parents, but he let those words go 169 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 4: in one ear and out the other. His attitude was 170 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 4: this is where I am, but this is not who 171 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 4: I am. I may be in defeat, but I am 172 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 4: not defeated. I am a of the most high God. 173 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 4: Day after day, he kept hitting the delete button. Those 174 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 4: thoughts told him, you have no future. Delete. God's plans 175 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 4: for me are for good, to give me a future. 176 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 4: You have no money. Delete, I'm blessed. Opportunity is coming 177 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 4: my way. You don't have the education. It's impossible. You'll 178 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 4: never get out. Delete, delete, delete. God is making a way, 179 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 4: opening up doors, connecting me to the right people. He 180 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 4: reprogrammed his software, and he went on to touch the world. 181 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 4: Some of you are allowing what somebody said about you 182 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 4: to hold you back. I've learned there will always be 183 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 4: people to try to throw water on our fire, to 184 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 4: try to push down our dreams, some negative voice to 185 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 4: try to keep your seeds of greatness from flourishing. You 186 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 4: got to get good at hitting the delete button. Listen, 187 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 4: you are not who people say you are. You are 188 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 4: who God says you are. That's why we start off 189 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 4: every service by saying I am who God says I am. 190 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 4: What we're really saying is I am not who my 191 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 4: neighbor says I am. I am not who my cousin 192 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 4: says I am. I am not who my critic says 193 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 4: I am. I am who God says I am. When 194 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 4: the prophet Samuel came to David's house to choose the 195 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 4: next king, David's father, Jesse, lined up very proudly. All 196 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 4: of his sons, all that is, except David. Jesse didn't 197 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 4: even bother to bring David in from the shepherd's fields. 198 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 4: He was saying, David's too young, he's too small, he's 199 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 4: not talented, he doesn't have the experience. All my other 200 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 4: sons are big, strong, impressive. But the scripture says God 201 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 4: doesn't judge the way people judge. People look on the outside. 202 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 4: God looks on the inside. You may not be as 203 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 4: quote impressive as somebody else. Don't worry about it. God 204 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 4: put in you exactly what you need. Other people may 205 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 4: not see it, but Almighty God can see it. Eleanor 206 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 4: Roosevelt said, no one can make you feel inferior without 207 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 4: your permission. People may have tried to push you down, 208 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 4: leave you out, make you feel insignificant. Let that bounce 209 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 4: off of you like water off of a duck's back. 210 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 4: David's own father didn't really believe in him. He didn't 211 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 4: even have the courtesy to go get him from the 212 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 4: shepherd's fields to at least let Samuel take a look 213 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 4: at him. David could have let that rejection cause him 214 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 4: to feel inferior, intimidated, not valuable. No, David understood this principle. 215 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 4: He knew how to hit the delete button. His father's 216 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 4: voice came to him, saying, you're not as good as 217 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 4: your brother's. Delete. You're not big enough. Delete, you're not talented. Delete, 218 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 4: You'll always be stuck in the shepherd's fields, elite. If 219 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 4: David would have allowed his father's voice to become a stronghold, 220 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 4: we wouldn't be talking about him today. Let me ask you, 221 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 4: are there any viruses that are contaminating your computer? Are 222 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 4: you allowing what people have spoken over you to hold 223 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 4: you back? The scripture tells how we've got to pull 224 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 4: down these strongholds. We can't stop the negative voices from coming, 225 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 4: but we can choose whether or not we're going to 226 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 4: dwell on them. God's given each one of us a 227 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 4: delete button. I talked to a man that was raised 228 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 4: by a very negative father. His father was always putting 229 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 4: him down, telling him what he couldn't become and this son. 230 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 4: In his twenties and even through his thirties, he couldn't 231 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 4: seem to get ahead. Life was always a struggle. Had 232 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 4: a college degree, but he couldn't get a good job, 233 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 4: couldn't keep a steady relationship. He told how his father's 234 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 4: words were always in the back of his mind. You'll 235 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 4: never be successful. You don't have what it takes. Even 236 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 4: on his death bed, his father looked at him and said, 237 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 4: your brother never amounted to anything, and you won't either, 238 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 4: last words he ever heard his father. Speed For years, 239 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 4: he went around angry, inferior. He wouldn't take a new position. 240 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 4: He didn't feel qualified. He was too afraid all these 241 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 4: bondages because of the words that were spoken over him. 242 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 4: We know the importance of a father's blessing and what 243 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 4: weight and what importance that carries, but unfortunately some people 244 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 4: don't receive that blessing. One day he heard me talking 245 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 4: about wrong mindsets and make sure you don't have things 246 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 4: that are holding you back. He realized his father's words 247 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 4: had become a stronghold. He started hitting the delete button, 248 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 4: reprogramming his software. Instead of you don't have what it takes, 249 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 4: delete I'm equipped, I'm empowered, I'm well able. Instead of 250 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 4: you'll never amount to anything. Delete. I will fulfill my destiny. 251 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 4: I will become all that God's created me to be. Today, 252 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 4: this gentleman is extremely successful, has a beautiful family. They 253 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 4: volunteer at our services. Everything changed when he started hitting 254 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 4: the delete button. Maybe, like him, you didn't receive your 255 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 4: earthly father's blessing. The good news is you have your 256 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 4: heavenly father's blessing. Almighty God is saying to you, you 257 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 4: are my masterpiece. You are one of a kind. You 258 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 4: have seeds of greatness. You are equipped, strong, talented, beautiful. 259 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 4: That's what should be playing in our mind. No matter 260 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 4: who tried to tell you otherwise a parent, a friend, 261 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 4: a coach, a neighbor, Delete that and reprogram your software. 262 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 4: You are not defective. You are not flawed. You have 263 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 4: been fearfully and wonderfully made. I know some of you 264 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 4: have been through unfair situations. People have spoken things over 265 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 4: you that they had no business saying. You could easily 266 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 4: go around feeling bad, low self esteem, low self worth. No, 267 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 4: don't ever let what someone said or what someone did 268 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 4: keep you from knowing who you really are. You are 269 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 4: a child of the Most High God. You have royal 270 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 4: blood flowing through your veins. God has crowned you with 271 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 4: his favor. People may have tried to push you down 272 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 4: and make you feel insignificant, but that does not change 273 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 4: who you are. You are still the apple of God's eyes. 274 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 4: You are still his most prized possession. God still has 275 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 4: an amazing future in front of you. If you will 276 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 4: hit that delete button, get rid of any strongholds, God 277 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 4: will take what was meant for your harm, and he 278 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 4: will use it to your advantage. The Psalm has said, 279 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 4: even if my father and mother forsake me, God will 280 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 4: adopt me as his very own child. I know a 281 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 4: lady that for many years struggled with her self worth. 282 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 4: Growing up. She never felt like she was good enough 283 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 4: and like she fit in and come to find out, 284 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 4: these insecurities stemmed from being a child born out of wedlock. 285 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 4: Her mother and father weren't married, and as a little girl, 286 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 4: one day she saw her birth certificate and a little 287 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 4: box was checked that said not legitimate. That phrase became 288 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 4: ingrained in her thinking all through her childhood her teenage years. 289 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 4: Anytime she tried to move forward, those words would come 290 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 4: up in her mind once again, You're a mistake. Nobody 291 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 4: even wanted you. You're not valuable. She didn't know any better. 292 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 4: She believed that lie. It was affecting her personality, her attitude, 293 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 4: even her marriage. One day she heard this truth that 294 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 4: you're worth and value doesn't come from people. It comes 295 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 4: from Almighty God. She said. It was like something exploded 296 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 4: on the inside. She recognized those words were holding her 297 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 4: back in bondage, and she decided to start hitting the 298 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 4: delete button when those thoughts came saying you're not valuable, 299 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 4: you have no future. Instead of dwelling on it and 300 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 4: letting it depress her, she reprogrammed her software. I'm not 301 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 4: a mistake. I'm not an accident. God chose me to 302 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 4: be here before the foundation of the world. I'm accepted, 303 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 4: I'm approved, i am valuable. Her attitude was, no matter 304 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 4: what my birth certificate says, I know I am legitimate. 305 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 4: Almighty God breathed his life into me. Today she's living 306 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 4: a blessed, free, confident life. Make sure there are no 307 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 4: strongholds that are keeping you back. I've learned anytime we 308 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 4: try to move forward in faith, there will always be 309 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 4: people trying to contaminate our software. They may not do 310 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 4: it on purpose, but they'll tell you what you can't 311 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 4: do and why it's not going to work out. And 312 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 4: my cousin tried and felled, and my grandmother died of 313 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 4: that same disease. The negative voices will come out of 314 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 4: the woodwork. But remember God didn't put the promise in them. 315 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 4: God put the promise in you. Don't let people talk 316 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 4: you out of your destiny. For years, while Carl Lewis 317 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 4: was training for the Olympic Games, all the experts said 318 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 4: a person would never be able to jump thirty feet 319 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 4: in distance. The scientists had done their studies, ran all 320 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 4: their calculations. According to their research, no one would ever 321 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 4: be able to jump that far. A reporter asked Carl 322 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 4: Lewis what he thought about it. He said, yes, I 323 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 4: know the experts say it can't be done, but I 324 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 4: don't dwell on it. I know, talk like that has 325 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 4: a way of sinking down to my feet. He was saying, 326 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 4: if I dwell on that long enough, it's going to 327 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 4: reprogram my software and convince me this impossible. Carl hit 328 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 4: the delete button and went out that year to jump 329 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 4: over thirty feet and break the world record. I say, 330 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 4: this respectfully. But the experts are not always right. The 331 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 4: experts told my mother she wouldn't be alive today. The 332 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 4: experts told us we would never have this beautiful facility. 333 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 4: The experts told David he could never defeat Goliath. And 334 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 4: of course we should stay open, listen to good advice 335 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 4: and wise counsel. But God's ways are not our ways. 336 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 4: Sometimes God will drop things in your heart that don't 337 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 4: make any sense, things that go against normal logic. Years ago, 338 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 4: my father tried to build a new sanctuary again and again, 339 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 4: but every time he went to get started, he felt 340 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 4: a check in his spirit. He knew it wasn't the 341 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 4: right time, so he waited year after year. Finally, in 342 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 4: nineteen eighty seven, when Houston was in the greatest resession 343 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 4: our city has ever seen. It was two weeks before Christmas. 344 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 4: My father had just gotten out of the hospital from 345 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 4: having an open heart surgery when he heard God whisper 346 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 4: in his ear, now is the time to build. All 347 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 4: the experts said, no way, this is the worst possible 348 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 4: time to get started. You'll never raise the money in 349 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 4: this economy, plus your health this week, it's gonna be 350 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 4: hard on you as you recover on and on. My 351 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 4: father listened to their advice, but when he left he 352 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 4: said thanks, but no thanks. He hit the delete button. God, 353 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 4: you say now is the time to build, We're gonna build. 354 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 4: They went on to build that sanctuary in a little 355 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 4: over a year, totally dent free. I like this saying 356 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 4: faith begins with stuffing your ears full of cotton. Don't 357 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 4: let people talk you out of it. A college student 358 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 4: told his professor he had an idea to start an 359 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 4: overnight shipping company. The professor dismissed it. That's not a 360 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 4: good idea. That company would never get off the The 361 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 4: student hit the delete button and started the company anyway. 362 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 4: He called it Federal Express. It's done pretty good. Thomas 363 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 4: Edison invented the phonograph. He told the world it has 364 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,719 Speaker 4: no commercial value. Even Thomas Edison was wrong. All the 365 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 4: experts told a young man named Emmitt Smith that, at 366 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 4: five feet nine inches tall, he was too small and 367 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 4: too slow to play professional football. Emmett grew up in 368 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 4: a low income family, lived in public housing. Most of 369 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 4: the scouts said it's not going to work out. But 370 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 4: emmittt knew how to hit the delete button, and he 371 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,479 Speaker 4: went on to rush for more yardage than any player 372 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 4: in NFL history. Emmittt has won three Super Bowls. He's 373 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 4: in the Hall of Fame. Plus he won Dancing with 374 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 4: the Stars, and that's important. What are the experts telling 375 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 4: you that you can do. You're too tall, too short, 376 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 4: too young, too old. It's not a good idea. Why 377 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 4: don't you delete all the negative voices and let Almighty 378 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 4: God be your expert. After all, he controls the universe, 379 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 4: he knows what he put in you. He's the one 380 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 4: that can bring your dreams to pass. Heard a story 381 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 4: about a young boy named Theodore Gizl. He loved to draw, 382 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 4: had a very vivid imagination, and every spare minute he 383 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 4: spent drawing pictures and cartoons. His dream was to become 384 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 4: an artist and create children's books. In high school, he 385 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 4: took his first art class. When the teacher saw his 386 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 4: work and how it was so cartoonish and so playful, 387 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 4: he said, son, he'll never be an artist. This is 388 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 4: not your gift. This looks like child's play. Theodore dropped 389 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 4: out of the art class but continued to draw. He 390 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 4: took his first children's book to a publisher, but they 391 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 4: said the same thing. This is not something people are 392 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 4: going to buy. It's too cartoonish. He went to another 393 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 4: publisher and another. He was turned down twenty nine times. 394 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 4: All the experts said it's not marketable. But publisher number 395 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 4: thirty decided to take a chance. Instead of using his 396 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 4: normal name, he chose the name doctor SEUs. Doctor Seuss 397 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 4: went on to sell more children's books than any person 398 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 4: in history. Are the experts telling you you can't accomplish 399 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,479 Speaker 4: your dreams. You can't get well, you can't get out 400 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 4: of debt, you can't go back to school. No, like 401 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 4: doctor Seuss, start hitting the delete button. God didn't put 402 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 4: the dream in them. He put the dream in you. 403 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 4: You have what you need, the talent, the strength, the wisdom, 404 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 4: the favor to do what God has put in your 405 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 4: own heart. When my father went to be with the 406 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 4: Lord and I stepped up to pastor the church, all 407 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 4: the experts said, he can't minister. He's never done it before. 408 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 4: He's too young, he doesn't have the training, never been 409 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 4: to cemetery, I mean seminary. He doesn't have that booming voice, 410 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 4: he doesn't have that dynamic personality. On and on, day 411 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 4: after day, I had to hit the delete button. I 412 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 4: remember one time I was in the front lobby after servicing. 413 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 4: I just finished my message. This was like the second 414 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 4: or third time that I ministered. I overheard these two 415 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 4: ladies in the lobby talking. One said he's not nearly 416 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 4: as good as his father. The other one said, yeah, 417 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 4: there's no way this is ever going to last. Those 418 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 4: words were like daggers. I was already intimidated, insecure. That 419 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 4: was like the last thing that I needed to hear. 420 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 4: But I realize now sometimes God allows things like that 421 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 4: on purpose. Those are tests of our faith to see 422 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 4: what we're made of. When I heard that, something rose 423 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 4: up on the inside and I thought to myself, you 424 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 4: may not think it's a last, but what you think 425 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 4: doesn't really matter. I don't need your approval. I have 426 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 4: Almighty God's approval. Today, twelve years later, they're gone and 427 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 4: I'm still here. And you know the funny thing is, 428 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 4: I don't miss them. Start hitting the delete button. It's 429 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 4: not gonna last.

Read about a gentleman named Daniel. 431 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 4: He was born with a learning disorder. He has severe dyslexia, 432 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 4: where he has trouble recognizing words. He can barely read, 433 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 4: barely write. Plus he has coordination problems. He couldn't tie 434 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 4: his shoe or button his shirt until he was in 435 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 4: the fifth grade in the nineteen sixties. When he grew up, 436 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 4: the teachers referred to him as being mentally retarded. Some 437 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 4: of the students would make fun of him, call him 438 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 4: name slow, dumb, though it looked like he would sit 439 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 4: on the sidelines of life and let that disability hold 440 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,479 Speaker 4: him back. No, not Daniel. He knew how to hit 441 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 4: the delete button. He didn't let the negative comments take root. 442 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 4: Today people don't call him dumb, they don't call him slow. 443 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 4: They call him Governor. Daniel Molloy is now the governor 444 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 4: of Connecticut. He can still barely read. He says writing 445 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 4: is almost impossible.
