She was trying to explain to 43 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 4: her students about self esteem. She said to her class, 44 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 4: anyone who feels like you're dumb, Please stand up. She 45 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 4: didn't think anyone would stand, and she'd make the simple 46 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 4: point how nobody is dumb. About that time little Johnny 47 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 4: stood up, she thought, oh no, Now what am I 48 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 4: going to do? She said, Now, Johnny, do you really 49 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 4: feel like you're dumb? He said no, ma'am. I just 50 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 4: hate to see you standing there all by yourself. Say 51 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 4: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 52 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 4: am what it says I am. I have what it 53 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 4: says I have. I can do what it says I 54 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 4: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 55 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 4: I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 56 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 57 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 58 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 4: the chain breaker. We all have forces that are trying 59 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 4: to hold us back. We wonder why we can't get ahead, 60 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: why we can't break an addiction, why we can't control 61 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 4: our temper. Those are chains that are restricting us. Chains 62 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 4: of guilt, beating ourselves up for past mistakes, chains of 63 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 4: depression that dark cloud follows us around, or chains of 64 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 4: low self esteem. We never feel good about ourselves. That 65 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 4: recording is constantly playing you're not attractive enough, you're not talented, 66 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 4: you don't have a good personality. You were not created 67 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 4: to live bound bound by loneliness, bound by shame, bound 68 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 4: by negative words that were spoken over you. The good 69 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 4: news is our God is a chain breaker. You may 70 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 4: not see how it can happen. Your circumstances look permanent 71 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 4: or get ready, the chain breaker is about to show up. 72 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 4: That chain of loneliness is being broken. You're going to 73 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 4: meet a divine connection, somebody better than you've imagined. That 74 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 4: chain of injustice, bad breaks, always being overlooked, it's being broken. 75 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 4: God is about to pay you back. He's going to 76 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 4: make up for the wrongs that were done, or that 77 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 4: chain of lack, struggle, not having enough. It's being loosed. 78 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 4: Opportunity is going to chase you down. You're not going 79 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 4: to have to go after it. It's going to come 80 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 4: after you. Why the chains came off. You're being released 81 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 4: into favor, released into healing, released into new levels. Luke thirteen, 82 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 4: Jesus was teaching in the synagogue and he saw a 83 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 4: lady that had been sick for eighteen years. She has 84 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 4: been over and not able to stand up straight. It 85 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 4: was the Sabbath. You weren't supposed to do any kind 86 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 4: of work. The religious leaders were watching to see what 87 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 4: Jesus was going to do. He said something interesting in 88 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 4: verse sixteen. Should not this woman, whom Satan has bound 89 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 4: for eighteen years be loosed from her sickness? He described 90 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 4: the sickness as a chain. He said she was bound. 91 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 4: Jesus touched the lady and instantly she was healed. Whatever 92 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 4: has you bound, whatever is restricting you, God is saying, 93 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 4: this is your time to be free. It is not 94 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 4: your destiny to go through life with things limiting you. 95 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 4: If you will receive this into your spirit, I believe 96 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 4: that every chain that is holding you back is being broken. 97 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 4: Chains of sickness, chains of depression, even chains that have 98 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 4: been in your family line for generations. Now you may 99 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 4: not feel any different. The circumstances look the same. This 100 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 4: is what faith is all about. He said. I'm thinking, Ah, man, 101 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 4: it didn't work for me. No turn it around. Father, 102 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 4: Thank you that my chains are gone. Thank you that 103 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 4: I am free. Thank you that every force that's holding 104 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 4: me back has been broken. Get in agreement with God. 105 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,559 Speaker 4: Freedom starts in your mind. As long as you think, 106 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 4: I'll never get well. Did you see the medical report 107 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 4: or my grandmother was depressed. My mother was depressed. I 108 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 4: guess I'll always be depressed. Know the difference with you 109 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 4: is the chain break or show God? God sets you free. 110 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 4: You're the one to set a new standard. You're the 111 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 4: one to defy the odds. God told the Israelites the 112 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 4: enemies you see today, you will see no more. Those 113 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 4: things that have held you back, You're not going to 114 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 4: see them anymore. This is a new day of freedom, 115 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 4: a new day of wholeness. I can see through my 116 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 4: eyes of faith, change coming off. Chains of debt being broken, 117 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 4: chains of cancer, diabetes, heart trouble being loose, chains of fear, low, 118 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 4: self esteem, depression, you will see them no more. Is 119 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 4: there something limiting you today? Why don't you have this 120 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 4: new perspective? My chains are gone. I've been loosed. Start 121 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 4: living from a freedom mindset, not a bound mindset. Not 122 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 4: I'll never get ahead, Joel, I never get any good breaks. 123 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 4: That was the past. This is a new day. I've 124 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 4: been released into increase. I've been released into favor, released 125 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 4: into blessings instead of I'll have to deal with this addiction. 126 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 4: My whole life, I've had it so long. No, that 127 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 4: chain that's held me back has been broken. I'm on 128 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 4: my way to healing. I'm on my way to feeling 129 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 4: better than ever. Now. Just because you're free doesn't mean 130 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 4: everything is instantly going to change. You're going to have 131 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 4: to walk this out. But what you'll find is you're 132 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 4: not going to be restricted like you were before. You're 133 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 4: going to be able to do things you couldn't do. 134 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 4: The guilt is not going to hold you back. The depression, 135 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 4: the hot temper, the addiction, it is not going to 136 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 4: control your life. Why the chain has been broken. This 137 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 4: lady that came to Jesus had been sick so long, 138 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 4: been over for eighteen years. I'm sure she thought it 139 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 4: was permanent. But Jesus said, should not this woman, being 140 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 4: a daughter of Abraham, be loose from her sickness. A 141 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 4: daughter of Abraham meant she was a part of the 142 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 4: covenant that God made with Abraham. She wasn't just any woman. 143 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 4: She had rights and privileges because she was in the 144 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 4: family line of Abraham. Like her, you're not just anyone. 145 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 4: You are a child of the Most High God. If 146 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 4: Jesus were here today, he would look at you and say, 147 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 4: should not this son, should not this daughter of the 148 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 4: Most High God? Be free from their sickness, free from 149 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 4: their addiction, free from that depression. You have rights because 150 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 4: of who you belong to. You may have struggled in 151 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 4: an area for a long time, but like with her, 152 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 4: it is not permanent. Your day of freedom is here. 153 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 4: The chain breaker is at work, Jesus said in verse twelve, woman, 154 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 4: you are loosed from your sickness. God is saying that 155 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 4: to you. You are loosed from whatever is holding you back. 156 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 4: Maybe you've been barren for years, not able to have 157 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 4: a child. You are being loosed from that barrenness. A 158 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 4: healthy baby is on the way. Or you've pursued your dreams. 159 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 4: You've done your best, but doors keep closing. It's one 160 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 4: disappointment after another. Nobody will help you. Now you're tempted 161 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 4: to accept that it's not going to happen. You are 162 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 4: being loosed from what's restricted you. Now do your part 163 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 4: and try again. You're going to say the doors open 164 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 4: that you couldn't open. People are going to go out 165 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 4: of their way to help you. Things are going to 166 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 4: fall into place. And yes, we have forces trying to 167 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 4: stop us, but the forces that are for you are 168 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 4: greater than the forces that are against you. No chain 169 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 4: is too much for our God, no addiction too great, 170 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 4: no sickness too big, no enemy too powerful. God controls 171 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 4: the universe, he said in Jeremiah. I will tear off 172 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 4: their chains, and they will no more be enslain. If 173 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 4: God doesn't break the chain, He'll simply tear the whole 174 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 4: thing off. The Psalmas said, you can run through a 175 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 4: troop or leap over a wall. If God doesn't remove 176 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 4: the obstacle, don't worry. He'll take you over it. He 177 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 4: knows how to get you to your destiny. I believe 178 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 4: even right now some chains are being torn off. What's 179 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 4: held you back is not going to enslave you. In 180 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 4: the Acts, Chapter twelve, King Herod had Peter arrested and 181 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 4: put in prison. The night before Peter was to go 182 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 4: on trial. He was sleeping chained between two prisoners. There 183 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 4: were guards outside his cell and two sets of big 184 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 4: iron gates. A group of believers had gathered at a 185 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 4: house to pray for Peter. Herod had already put to 186 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 4: death the apostle James. It looked like Peter would be next, 187 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 4: but in the middle of the night, while they were praying. 188 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 4: An angel showed up in the prison. He had to 189 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 4: wake Peter up. He told him to get dressed. They 190 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 4: were about to leave. Instantly, the chains fell off of 191 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 4: Peter's wrist. The prison doors opened. The guard's eyes were blinded. 192 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 4: They walked through the first set of gates and then 193 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 4: through the second. Peter went to the house where everyone 194 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 4: was praying. When they saw him, they couldn't believe it. 195 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 4: They said, Peter, what happened? He couldn't explain it. He said, 196 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 4: I don't know. I was sleeping when an angel woke 197 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 4: me up, and suddenly the chains fell off my wrist. 198 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 4: They asked, did the angel unloose them? Did he get 199 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 4: the key from the jailer? Did he pull the chains 200 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 4: out of the wall. Peter said no, they just opened 201 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 4: by themselves, and I was able to walk out. God 202 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 4: has these times where you're not going to be able 203 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 4: to explain how it happened. You got well when the 204 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 4: medical report said you wouldn't. You broke the addiction without 205 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 4: the treatment. You paid your house off when it should 206 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 4: have taken you fifteen more years. Chains are going to 207 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 4: come off that don't make sense. There's no explanation. Suddenly 208 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 4: you're catapulted to a new level. Suddenly you meet the 209 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 4: person of your dreams. Like Peter, you were just minding 210 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 4: your own business, being your best on their own accord. 211 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 4: Change are going to fall off. Now the circumstance may 212 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 4: say it's permanent, it's never going to change, no sign 213 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 4: of it improving. But I found God is full of surprises. 214 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 4: He'll show up when you least expect it, when the 215 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 4: odds are against you more than ever, the obstacle looks 216 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 4: too big, Suddenly out of nowhere, God will turn it around. 217 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 4: It's not going to be just your talent, your determination, 218 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 4: your strength, and sure we should do our part, but 219 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 4: some things we can't make happen in our own ability. 220 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 4: When you come to the end of what you can 221 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 4: do where it doesn't look like it's going to work out, 222 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 4: like Peter, so to speak, you're in chains, in jail 223 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 4: guards outside in the natural, it's impossible. That's when the 224 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 4: chain breaker is going to show up and do the impossible. 225 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 4: Now quit telling yourself that you're stuck. You'll always have 226 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 4: the illness, you'll always have to fight the addiction, you'll 227 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 4: always be lonely. Those chains are not your destiny. What's 228 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 4: holding you back does not have the final say. The 229 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 4: chain breaker, the most tied God, is working in your 230 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 4: life right now. He's about to shift things in your favor. 231 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 4: You are not going to be a slave to sickness, 232 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 4: a slave to depression, a slave to fear. And see. 233 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 4: Most of us know God as a savior, We know 234 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 4: him as the good shepherd, but we need to know 235 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 4: him as the chain breaker, as the God who looses 236 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 4: us from bondages. It's interesting that people were praying for 237 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 4: Peter when the angel showed up and the chains fell off. 238 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 4: You may have children that are off course, friends, family 239 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 4: members that are not making good decisions, running with the 240 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 4: wrong crowd. Keep praying for them. They may not deserve it. 241 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 4: They brought the trouble on themselves. But God is so merciful. 242 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 4: Because of your prayers, he will loose their chains. You 243 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 4: can stand in the gap for somebody else that's bound 244 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 4: as friend that's struggling with an addiction. Instead of judging them, 245 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 4: why don't you start praying for them. That coworker that's 246 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 4: got a sour attitude. Instead of criticizing, start praying. Your 247 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 4: prayer can be the catalyst that causes change to suddenly 248 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 4: fall off. I talked to a young lady that had 249 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 4: struggled with the drug addiction since high school. She was 250 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 4: an excellent student, very bright, but she got off course 251 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 4: and life took her down a dark path. Her mother 252 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 4: had just died and she was going through a divorce, 253 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 4: and she didn't think she could go on. She'd gone 254 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 4: to rehab several times with no success. The temptation was 255 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 4: so strong she would always fall back. After being addicted 256 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 4: for twenty one years, on the day she buried her mother, 257 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 4: she got down on her knees and said, God, I 258 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 4: can't do this on my own. Helped me to change. 259 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 4: From that day forward, she never touched another drug. She 260 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 4: never touched the alcohol. She didn't have any kind of 261 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 4: withdrawal symptoms. She said, Joel, I can't explain it, but 262 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, I didn't have any desire for 263 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 4: the drugs Like Peter, those chains just fell off of her. 264 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 4: Imagine what you could become without the change that are 265 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 4: limiting you. What could you accomplish without the chain of fear, 266 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 4: the chain of insecurity. What kind of relationship could you 267 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 4: have without the chain of guilt, anger, feeling wrong about 268 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 4: yourself or How high could you go without that chain 269 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 4: of negative words spoken over you, people telling you that 270 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 4: you're not going to be successful, that you don't have 271 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 4: what it takes. It's time to step into your freedom. 272 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 4: Your destiny is too important, your assignment is too great 273 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 4: for you to go through life bound. Why don't you 274 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 4: do like her? Say? God, help me to change, Help 275 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 4: me to release this anger and forgive the people that 276 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,719 Speaker 4: have hurt me. Help me to accomplish my dreams and 277 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 4: leave my children better than they were before. Help me 278 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 4: to break these bad habits and live free and hull. Listen. 279 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 4: If you'll do your part, God will do his part. 280 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 4: He will make things happen that you couldn't make happen. 281 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 4: In the scripture, another word for chain was yoke. A 282 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 4: yoke was something they put around the neck of an oxen, 283 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 4: like a bridle, to help control the animal. This yoke 284 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 4: kept the animal from doing what it wanted. It was 285 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 4: a constant burden. Even though the animal was much bigger, 286 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 4: much more powerful, this small yoke would restrict it. Many 287 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 4: people don't realize they are living with a yoke around them. 288 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 4: Some of these yokes have been passed down to us. 289 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 4: Our parents had addictions, and now we have those addictions. 290 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 4: Our relatives had low self esteem, They were angry, they 291 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 4: were bitter, they never got good breaks. Now we struggle 292 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 4: in those same areas. If we're not careful, it will 293 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 4: become normal to us. It's all we've known. It's normal 294 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 4: to have bad relationships. It's normal to be hot tempered, 295 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 4: it's normal to be angry. They're never get good breaks friends. 296 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 4: That is not normal. That is a yoke, That is 297 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 4: a chain. It is limiting your movement, it's restricting your ability. 298 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 4: You are made in the image of Almighty God. He 299 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 4: has crowned you with favor. He put seeds of greatness 300 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 4: on the inside. You were not made to go through 301 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 4: life just barely making it. He created you to be free, 302 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 4: to be happy, to accomplish your dreams, not to be mediocre, 303 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 4: but to excel, to leave your mark on this generation. 304 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 4: Don't let a yoke become normal. Don't learn to function 305 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 4: in your dysfunction. This is what the Israelites did. They 306 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 4: had been in slavery for four hundred years. All they 307 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 4: had known was being mistreated, injustice, barely making it. God 308 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 4: brought them out and they were headed toward the promised land. 309 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 4: Everything looked great. The problem was they were still wearing 310 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 4: that yoke. Even though they were free, they had a 311 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 4: defeated mindset. When they faced the Assyrian army. Instead of 312 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 4: knowing that God would give them the victory, they thought, 313 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 4: Oh man, here we go again, another struggle, another heart ache. 314 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 4: This is the way it's always going to be. God 315 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 4: said to them in Isaiah. This burden is being lifted 316 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 4: off of your shoulders. This yoke is being removed from 317 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 4: your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed. God was saying, 318 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 4: this is a new day. You are not going to 319 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 4: constantly struggle. You are not going to live defeated, burden down. 320 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 4: Removing that yoke. From that day forward, they stepped into 321 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 4: a new level of their destiny. What they used to 322 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 4: struggle with wasn't a struggle anymore. That burden to overcome 323 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 4: enemies and pressure to defeat other armies. It was lifted 324 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 4: off of them. They defeated armies that were much bigger 325 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 4: and more powerful than them. God is saying to you 326 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 4: what he said to them. You have struggled long enough. 327 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 4: You have dealt with that addiction long enough. You've been 328 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 4: weighed down by family baggage long enough. I am taking 329 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 4: away that burden. I am not only going to remove 330 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 4: the yoke. I'm going to destroy the yoke. That means 331 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 4: it's not going to come back. That depression is not 332 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 4: going to hinder you the rest of your life. That 333 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 4: addiction that keeps getting passed down is broken. That sickness 334 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 4: that looks like it's going to be the end of you. No, 335 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,719 Speaker 4: this is a new day. The yoke has been destroyed, 336 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 4: the burden has been lifted. Now what you struggle with 337 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 4: may not have started with you, it was passed down. 338 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 4: The good news is it can end with you. You 339 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 4: can be the difference maker. And this is what my 340 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 4: father did. He was raised during the Great Depression and 341 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 4: his family lost everything. He grew up very poor. From 342 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 4: his earliest memories, all he knew was poverty, not having 343 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 4: enough food, He could never drink a full glass of milk. 344 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 4: Being poor and defeated was normal to him. He was 345 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 4: wearing that yoke. But at the age of seventeen, Daddy 346 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 4: gave his life to Christ. Something came alive on the inside. 347 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 4: The chain breaker showed up. He said, Joel, I made 348 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 4: a decision that day that my children would never be 349 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 4: raised in the poverty that I was raised in. Now 350 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 4: nothing had changed. On the outside. It wasn't like he 351 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,959 Speaker 4: got a big job, a big promotion. He had no money, 352 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 4: no education. But on the inside, in his mind, chains 353 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 4: were broken. That yoke that had been around his family 354 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 4: for generations was destroyed. His family told him, John, you 355 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 4: better stay here on the farm with us, pick cotton. 356 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 4: This is all you know how to do. They couldn't 357 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 4: understand why he'd want to leave. They didn't think he 358 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 4: would make it. My father went on to pastor great 359 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 4: churches and touch people all over the world. It would 360 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 4: have never happened if he had not gotten that yoke 361 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 4: off of his neck. God has freed you, but you 362 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 4: have to do your part and take off the yoke 363 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 4: it's in your thinking. Quit telling yourself that you can't 364 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 4: have good relationships. You've been hurt too much. You can't 365 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 4: accomplish your dreams. You don't have the talent. You can't 366 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 4: break the addiction. Everyone in your family has it. Those 367 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 4: are lies trying to keep you from your destiny. The 368 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 4: yoke has been destroyed, the chain has been broken. God 369 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 4: is releasing you to go where no one in your 370 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 4: family has gone. You are going to break bad habits 371 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 4: that nobody else was able to break. You are going 372 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 4: to accomplish dreams bigger than you've imagined. Talent is going 373 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 4: to come out of you that you didn't know you had. 374 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 4: Those addictions that keep getting passed down are broken. The 375 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 4: depression is coming to an end. The low self esteem 376 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 4: is over. God is not only breaking chains, He's about 377 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 4: to catapult you to a new level. He is going 378 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 4: to give you favor, respect, influence in ways like you've 379 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 4: never seen. Well, Joe, you're just getting people's hopes up. 380 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 4: You can't have faith if you don't first have hope. 381 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 4: Listen to what Jesus said. The spirit of the Lord 382 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 4: is on me to announce deliverance to the captives, freedom 383 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 4: to those that are bound. That's what I'm doing, announcing freedom, 384 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 4: announcing that yolkes have been destroyed, announcing that chains have 385 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 4: been broken. Now it's up to you to receive this. 386 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 4: You have to know that what's been limiting you has 387 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 4: been taken away, what's been hindering your progress has been removed. Now, 388 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 4: get ready for favor in new ways. Get ready for 389 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 4: God to surprise you, to make things happen that you 390 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 4: didn't see coming. And here's the key. God is not 391 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 4: only breaking chains that holds you back, but he is 392 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 4: breaking chains that are holding back what belongs to you. 393 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 4: There are blessings that have your name on them, promotion, 394 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 4: a healing, a business, that baby you've been praying for. 395 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 4: God's about to release what's been held up. In the scripture, 396 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 4: Daniel prayed and asked God for something. Nothing happened. Day 397 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 4: after day went by, no say of it. Three weeks later, 398 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 4: an angel showed up with the answer. Daniel asked, what 399 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 4: took him so long. The angel said, the moment you prayed, 400 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 4: God sent me with the answer. But there were forces 401 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 4: blocking my way. God had to send another angel to 402 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 4: help fight through on the opposition. In the same way, 403 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 4: there are forces trying to hold back what you're believing 404 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 4: for your dream, your healing, the restoration, staying, courage. It 405 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 4: is on the wave those forces that are holding it back. 406 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 4: Just imagine right now, God breaking the chains. God making 407 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 4: that path clear. What has your name on it is 408 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 4: on the way. All the forces of darkness cannot stop 409 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 4: what God has promised you. I heard a story about 410 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 4: a dog that lived out in the country. He'd been 411 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 4: on a leash his whole life about thirty feet long, 412 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 4: tied to a tree. Other dogs would come bine, take 413 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 4: off running to the end of that leash and bark 414 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 4: and bark, and he wanted to go play with them 415 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 4: and run out through the fields, but he couldn't do it. 416 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 4: He was on a chain. This went on for years. 417 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 4: One day, his owner felt sorry for him and decided 418 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 4: to let him run free like the other dogs. But 419 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 4: instead of taking the whole leash off, he just unfastened 420 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 4: the dog's collar around his neck. He stepped back and 421 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 4: waited for the dog to take off. Another dog came 422 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 4: trotting by, and the owner thought, all right, here he goes, 423 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 4: and his dog got up took off running, But when 424 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 4: he came to the end of the leash, he stopped 425 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 4: where he always did. A few minutes later, a cat 426 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 4: came by. This cat had tormented the dog his whole life. 427 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 4: The dog wanted to get him so badly, but the 428 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 4: cat knew just where to walk outside the dog's range. 429 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 4: The dog got up, took off running. Once again, he 430 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 4: stopped where he always did. What was the problem the 431 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 4: dog free? He just didn't know it. He still felt 432 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 4: the collar, he still heard the chain all he had 433 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 4: to do was go a little bit further than he 434 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 4: normally did, and that coller would have come off and 435 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 4: he would have realized he was free. My challenge to 436 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 4: you today is, don't be like this dog. Your collar 437 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 4: has been loosed, Your chains have been broken, those yokes 438 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 4: have been destroyed. Now do your part and walk out 439 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 4: of it. Start thinking like you're free, talking like you're free, 440 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 4: acting like you're free. Go a little bit further than 441 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 4: you used to. It may not have worked out last time, 442 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 4: but this is a new day. Your coller has been loosed. 443 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 4: If you'll do this, I believe and declare you're about 444 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 4: to step into a new sense of freedom. What has 445 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 4: hindered you in the past will hinder you no more. 446 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 4: The chain breaker, the most High God, is releasing you 447 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 4: right now, into freedom, into healing, into new levels, into 448 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 4: the fullness of your destiny. In Jesus's name, And if 449 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 4: you receive it, can you say amen? Today I'd like 450 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 4: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord 451 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 4: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 452 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 4: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll 453 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 4: make you my lord and Savior. Friends, if you prayed 454 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 4: that simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get 455 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 4: in a good Bible based church, and keep God first place. 456 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 4: Victor and I'll be right back to speak a blessing 457 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 4: over you. 458 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 5: As a thank you for your support of our ministry 459 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 5: this month, Jewel and Victoria would like to send you 460 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 5: a copy of Joel's new audio devotional, Fueled by Faith, 461 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 5: Seven Keys to Your Victory.
