And I 51 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 5: heard about this ninety two year old man. He wasn't 52 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 5: feeling up to par and he went to the doctor 53 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 5: for a checkup. A few days later, the doctor saw 54 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 5: him out walking in the park. He had this beautiful 55 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 5: young lady by his side, and he seemed as happy 56 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 5: as convened. The doctor said, wow, you sure are feeling 57 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 5: a lot better, aren't you. He said, yes, doctor, I'm 58 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 5: just taking your orders. You said, get a hot mama, 59 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 5: and be cheerful. The doctor said, I didn't say that. 60 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 5: I said you got a heart murmur. Be careful. 61 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 4: Hold up your Bible. 62 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 5: Say it like you mean it.

I can do what it says 65 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 5: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 66 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 5: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 67 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 5: heart is with I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 68 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 5: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 69 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 5: about the power of I Am.

You 102 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 5: need to send out some new invitations. Get up in 103 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 5: the morning and invite good. 104 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 4: Things into your life. 105 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 5: I am blessed, I am strong, I am talented, I 106 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 5: am disciplined, I am focused, I am prosperous.

When you 114 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 5: get up in the morning, look in the mirror. Instead 115 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 5: of complaining, you should be saying, I am fearfully and 116 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 5: wonderfully made, I am attractive, I am getting younger. You 117 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 5: talk like that, and God will renew your youth. I 118 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 5: know people, the older they get, the more attractive they are. 119 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 5: A lot has to do with our attitude. The other day, 120 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 5: our daughter Alexandra had a copy of my first book 121 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 5: from two thousand and four, and she was comparing the 122 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 5: picture to my new book that was just released. She said, Daddy, 123 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 5: you look better now than you did back then. I said, 124 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 5: what would you like me to buy you. I was 125 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 5: with my college roommate last week. He said, Joel, what 126 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 5: are you doing. 127 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 4: You're getting taller, You're growing it. I said, I received that. 128 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 5: I didn't want to tell him that he's getting shorter. 129 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,799 Speaker 5: But when you go around saying I am being renewed 130 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 5: in my youth, I am full of health, vitality, wholeness, 131 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 5: that's one of the best anti aging treats that you 132 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 5: could ever take. My mother's a great example of this. 133 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 5: I mentioned how she just turned seventy eight. She still 134 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 5: looks fantastic. She's still small, still energetic, still beautiful. 135 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 4: But when you get up in the morning. 136 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 5: Don't talk about how old you are, how bad you look. 137 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 5: Dare to say I am young, I am energetic, I 138 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 5: am vibrant, I am radiant, I am fresh. 139 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 4: Some of you women have never once said I am beautiful. 140 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 5: You're so focused on your flaws and what you don't 141 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 5: like about yourself and how you wish you had more 142 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 5: here and less there.

It's got to come 148 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 4: out of your own mouth. 149 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 5: Listen, ladies, don't go around telling your husbands how unattractive 150 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 5: you are. You should never put yourself down, and especially 151 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 5: don't put yourself down in front of your own husband. 152 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 4: You are his prize. 153 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 5: To him, you're the most beautiful woman in the world. Well, 154 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 5: why would you want to tell him anything Differently, The 155 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 5: last thing he needs to hear is how bad you 156 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 5: think you look. Don't put those thoughts in his mind. 157 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 5: It's not going to do him nor you any good 158 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 5: to discredit yourself if you keep telling him how bad 159 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 5: you look. 160 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 4: One day he may believe you. 161 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 5: But when you say I am beautiful, not only does beauty, youth, 162 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 5: freshness starts coming your way, but on the inside, your 163 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 5: spirit person comes alive.

God 176 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 5: said in Ephesians, you are My masterpiece. Instead of going 177 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 5: around down on yourself, feeling unattractive, too tall, too short, 178 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 5: not enough of this, too much of that. No, dare 179 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 5: to get up in the morning and say I am 180 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 5: a masterpiece. I am created in the image of Almighty God. 181 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 5: David said in ps On one thirty nine. God, I 182 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 5: praise you because you have made me in an amazing way. 183 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 5: What you have done is wonderful. Notice David's I am. 184 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 5: He was saying, not in pride, but in praise to God. 185 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 5: I am wonderful, I am amazing. I am a masterpiece 186 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 5: that goes against human nature. Most of us think there's 187 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 5: nothing amazing about me, nothing wonderful. 188 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 4: I'm just average, I'm just ordinary. 189 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 5: No, the fact is, there is nothing ordinary about you. 190 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 5: You have a fingerprint that nobody else has. There will 191 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 5: never be another you. Even if you have a twin 192 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 5: somebody that looks exactly like you, they don't have your 193 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 5: same personality, your same goals, your same fingerprints. You are 194 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 5: an original. When God made you, he threw away the mold. 195 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 5: But as long as you go around thinking I'm just average, Joel, 196 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 5: I'm just one of the billions of people on the earth. 197 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 5: Nothing special about me. How long I am can keep 198 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 5: you from rising higher? I wonder what would happen if 199 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 5: all through the day, not in front of other people, 200 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 5: but in privacy, in the shower, driving to work underneath 201 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 5: our breath, instead of being down on ourselves and discrediting 202 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 5: who we are, and focusing on all of our flaws. 203 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 5: What would happen if we would be bold like David, 204 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 5: to say, I am amazing, I am wonderful, I am valuable, 205 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 5: I am a masterpiece. 206 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 4: I am a child of the most High God. 207 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 5: You talk like that, and amazing comes chasing you down, 208 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 5: Awesome starts heading in your direction. You won't have that 209 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 5: week defeated. I'm just average mentality. No, you'll carry yourself 210 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 5: like a king, like a queen, not in pride, not 211 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 5: being better than somebody, but with a quiet confidence, with 212 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 5: a knowing that you've been handpicked by the creator of 213 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 5: the universe and you have something amaze to offer this world. 214 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 5: That's what happened to a lady in the scripture named Sarah. 215 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 5: She had to change her I am God promised Sarah 216 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 5: and her husband Abraham that they would have a baby, 217 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 5: But Sarah was eighty years old, way past the child 218 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 5: bearing years, and back in those days, if a wife 219 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 5: didn't give her husband a child she couldn't conceive for 220 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 5: some reason, even if it was the husband's fault, the 221 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 5: wife was seen as a failure. She was looked down 222 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 5: on greatly. There was a sense of shame for not 223 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 5: being able to have a baby. And this is how 224 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 5: Sarah felt. She was eighty years old, never had a baby. 225 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 5: She felt like she had let Abraham down. Her self 226 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 5: esteem is so low. I can imagine some of her 227 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 5: i ams. I am a failure, I am inferior, I 228 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 5: am not good enough, I am unattractive. Now she's got 229 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 5: this promise that as an old, older woman, she's going 230 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 5: to have a baby. And God knew that it would 231 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 5: never come to pass unless he could convince Sarah to 232 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 5: change her i ams. It was so imperative that she 233 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 5: had this new mindset. God actually changed her name from 234 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 5: Sarah to Sarah Sarah means princess. Now every time someone 235 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 5: said good morning Sarah. 236 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 4: They were saying, good morning, princess. 237 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 5: How are you, Sarah? How are your princess? Would you 238 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 5: pass me the ketchup? 239 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 4: Sarah? Would you pass me the ketchup princess? She heard 240 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 4: this over and over. 241 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 5: And those words got on the inside and began to 242 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 5: change her self image. She went from I am a 243 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 5: failure to I am a princess, from I am unattractive 244 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 5: to I am beautiful, from I am ashamed to I 245 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 5: am crowned by Almighty God. Instead of hanging her head 246 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 5: in defeat, in embarrassment. 247 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 4: She started her head up high. 248 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 5: From I'm not good enough to i am a child 249 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 5: of the most high God, to I'm inferior, to I 250 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 5: am fearfully and wonderfully made. Her new attitude was I 251 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 5: am amazing, I am wonderful, I am a masterpiece. And ladies, 252 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 5: like Sarah, you may have had a lot of things 253 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 5: in life try to push you down. Bad breaks, disappointments, 254 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 5: maybe even people have tried to make you feel like 255 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 5: you just don't measure up, You're not quite attractive enough. 256 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 5: You could easily let that seed get on the inside 257 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 5: and ruin your sense of value, cause you to live inferior. 258 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 5: But God is saying to you what he said to Sarah, 259 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 5: I want you to change your name to princes, not physically, 260 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 5: but in your attitude.

I am handpicked by 267 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 5: Almighty God. I am valuable, I am a masterpiece. When 268 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 5: you get up in the morning, don't focus on all 269 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 5: your flaws. 270 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 4: Look in the mirror and dare to say. 271 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 5: I am beautiful, I am young, I am vibrant, I 272 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 5: am confident, I am secure.

You can bless your future, or 291 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 5: you can curse your future. Words are like electricity.

The scripture says, 320 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 5: let the weak say I am strong. No, it's just 321 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 5: the opposite. Not I am so tired, I am so 322 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 5: run down. That's calling in the wrong things. Let the 323 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 5: poor say I am well off, not I am broke, 324 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 5: I am so in death. Let the six say I 325 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 5: am healthy, I am improving, I am getting better and better. 326 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 4: See it says in Romans four eighteen. 327 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 5: To call the things that are not as if they 328 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 5: already were. That simply means don't talk about the way 329 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 5: you are, talk about the way. 330 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 4: You want to be. 331 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 5: If you're struggling in your fire, sid don't go around saying, oh, man, 332 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 5: business is so slow, the economy is so down, it's 333 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 5: never going to work out. That's calling the things that 334 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 5: are as if they will always be that way. That's 335 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 5: just describing this situation by faith. You've got to say, 336 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 5: I am blessed. I am successful. I am surrounded by 337 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 5: God's favor. I asked a young man after church last 338 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 5: week how he was doing in high school. He said, oh, Joel, 339 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 5: I'm doing okay. I'm just a C student. Come to 340 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,959 Speaker 5: find out, one of his teachers back in elementary school 341 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 5: years ago told him he was a C student, and 342 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 5: he let that seed take root. 343 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 4: I told him what I'm telling you. 344 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 5: As long as you're saying I am a C student, 345 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 5: you're not going to make as you're calling in the c's, 346 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 5: and those c's will come find you wherever you go. 347 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 5: If you're not careful, you'll make a C in homeroom, 348 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 5: a C in lunch, a C inpe change the I am. 349 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 5: I am an a student. I am I'm smart, I 350 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 5: am full of wisdom. I am a good learner. Some 351 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 5: of you, like this young man, You've allowed what somebody 352 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 5: said about you to hold you back. A coach, a teacher, 353 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 5: a parent, an expouse. They planted these negative seeds of 354 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 5: what you cannot do. You're not smart enough, you're not 355 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 5: talented enough, you're not disciplined enough. 356 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 4: You're not attractive enough. 357 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 5: You'll always make sees, you'll always be mediocre. You'll always 358 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 5: struggle with your weight. Don't get rid of those lives. 359 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 5: That is not who you are. You are who God 360 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 5: says you are. People may have tried to push you 361 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 5: down and tell you what you can't become. Let that 362 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 5: go in one ear and out the other ear. What 363 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 5: somebody said about you doesn't determine your destiny God does. 364 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 5: You need to know not only what you are, but 365 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 5: you need to know what you are not. In other words, 366 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 5: I am not who people say I am. I am 367 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 5: who God says I am. I am not to tell 368 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 5: I am the head. I am not a borrower, I 369 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 5: am a lender. I am not cursed. I am blessed 370 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 5: like this young man. Somebody may have spoken negative words 371 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 5: over you, even when you were younger. But know this, 372 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 5: before anyone could put a curse on you, God put 373 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 5: a blessing on you. Before you were formed in your 374 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 5: mother's womb. God knew you and he approved you. When 375 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 5: God made you, he stepped back. 376 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 4: And said, I like that. That was good. 377 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 5: Another masterpiece. He stamped his approval on you. Other people 378 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 5: may try to disapprove you. 379 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 4: Don't go around feeling less than feeling inferior. 380 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 5: Our attitude should be I am approved by Almighty God. 381 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 4: I am accepted. I am a masterpiece. 382 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 5: When you talk like that, the seeds of greatness God's 383 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 5: placed on the inside will begin to spring forth. See 384 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 5: you and talents that you've not yet tapped into. There 385 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 5: is a treasure on the inside throughout life. The enemy 386 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 5: will do his best to try to keep it pushed down. 387 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 5: He doesn't want us to reach our full potential. That's 388 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 5: why there are forces constantly trying to make us feel intimidated, inferior, unqualified. 389 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 4: If you're going to fulfill your destiny. 390 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 5: You've got to shake off the negative voices, shake off 391 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 5: the thoughts that are telling you I am unable, I 392 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 5: am unqualified. No, don't invite weakness in don't give intimidation 393 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 5: an invitation. 394 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 4: You may feel unqualified. 395 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 5: But before you were born, God equipped you, He empowered you. 396 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 5: You are not lacking anything. God has already stamped his 397 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 5: approval on you. People may try to push you down, 398 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 5: but when you know God has approved you, you realize 399 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 5: I don't need other people's approval. I've been equipped, in powered, 400 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 5: anointed by the creator of the universe. I know a 401 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 5: man he was told by his high school counselor that 402 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 5: he wasn't very smart, he should focus on the lowest 403 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 5: skilled job that he could find. And I'm sure the 404 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 5: counselor meant well, but he didn't know what was on 405 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 5: the inside. He didn't see the seeds of greatness God 406 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 5: had planted in this young man. As a high school student, 407 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 5: his IM was distorted. I am not up to par 408 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 5: I am not smart, I am very averaging. He didn't 409 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 5: realize he was inviting that into his life, and sure. 410 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 4: Enough it showed up. 411 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 5: After high school, he got a job at the local factory, 412 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 5: and he stayed at the lowest. 413 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 4: Level year after year after year. 414 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 5: One day the factory closed down and he went across 415 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 5: town and applied to another factory. This company had a 416 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 5: policy that you had to take an IQ test. He 417 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 5: took the test, and he scored the highest in the 418 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 5: company sixty three year history. His IQ came back at 419 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 5: a genius level. He went on to start his own business, 420 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 5: and he invented and patented two very successful products. Today, 421 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 5: he's extremely blessed what happened. He changed his IM. Could 422 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 5: it be what someone has told you is keeping you 423 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 5: from God's best? Could it be that the wrong I 424 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 5: am is keeping you from rising higher and reaching your 425 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 5: full potential. 426 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 4: Do like he did, change the I am. 427 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 5: Don't let what somebody has spoken over you determine your destiny. 428 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 4: Get in agreement with God. Know what you are and 429 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 4: know what you are not. I am not lacking. I 430 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 4: am not average. I am not inferior. 431 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 5: I am equipped, I am empowered, I am anointed, I 432 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 5: am wise. I am a masterpiece in the book of numbers. 433 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 5: Moses sent twelve men in to spy off the promised land. 434 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 4: After forty days. 435 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 5: Ten of them came back and said, Moses, we don't 436 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 5: have a chance. 437 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 4: The people are huge. Compared to them. We felt like 438 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 4: we were grasshoppers. 439 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 5: Notice their I ams. I am weak, I am inferior. 440 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 5: I am intimidated. 441 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 4: I am afraid. What happened? 442 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 5: Fear intimidation? Inferiority came knocking at the door. The other 443 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 5: two spies, Joshua and Caleb, came back with a different report. 444 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 5: They said, Moses, yes, the people are big, but we 445 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 5: know our God is much bigger. We are well able. 446 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 5: Let us go in and take the land at once. 447 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 5: Notice there I am was just the opposite. I am strong, 448 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 5: I am equipped, I am confident, I am more than 449 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 5: a conquer. 450 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 4: What's interesting is. 451 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 5: The negative report from the ten Spies spread like wildfire 452 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 5: throughout the rest of the camp. 453 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 4: Before long, some two. 454 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 5: Million people were intimidated, afraid. Nobody even paid attention to 455 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 5: Joshua and Caleb the report of faith. 456 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 4: Here's what I've learned. 457 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 5: A negative report always spreads faster than a positive report. 458 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 4: And when people are murmuring. 459 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 5: Complaining, talking defeat, be on guard. Make sure you don't 460 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 5: let the wrong I am take root. These ten spies 461 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 5: went on to say, Moses, why did you even bring 462 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 5: us out here. We're going to die in the wilderness. 463 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 5: Our children, our wives, they're going to be taken as plunder. 464 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 5: God answered back something very powerful. He said in numbers 465 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 5: fourteen twenty eight, I will do for you exactly what 466 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 5: you have said. You said you're going to die in 467 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 5: the wilderness, so you will die in the wilderness. God 468 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 5: saying the same thing to us, I'm going to do 469 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 5: exactly what you've been saying. Don't ever say I'm weak, 470 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 5: I'm intimidated, I'm inferior. Friends, the wrong I am can 471 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 5: keep you from your destiny. In the scripture, have you 472 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 5: ever heard of a man named Sether? A man named Gaddy, 473 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 5: a man named Schafith never heard of them. 474 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 4: You know why. 475 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 5: They were some of the ten Spives. They were some 476 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 5: of the ones that never made it into the Promised Land. 477 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 5: The fact is they were called to be a history maker. 478 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 5: They had seeds of greatness on the inside, but the 479 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 5: wrong i am kept. 480 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 4: Them from really making their mark. Don't let that be you. 481 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 5: You may be facing some major obstacles. My challenge is 482 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 5: be a Joshua, be a Caleb. I am strong, I 483 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 5: am confident, I am equipped, I am more than a conqueror. 484 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 4: I am well able. 485 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 5: Make sure you have the right i ams coming out 486 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 5: of your mouth. Joshua and Caleb were the only two 487 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 5: from that whole group to ever make. 488 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 4: It into the Promised Land. 489 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 5: It would do us all good to make a list 490 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,239 Speaker 5: of a dozen or two of these i ams and 491 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 5: read over them all through the day. Get them down 492 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 5: in your space, meditate on them. They may not all 493 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 5: be true right now, but you have to call the 494 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 5: things that are not as if they already were. I 495 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 5: am blessed, I am prosperous, I am free, I am talented, 496 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 5: I am young, I am beautiful, I am attractive. 497 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 4: Remember what follows the I am is going to come 498 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 4: looking for you. 499 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 5: If you will invite the right things into your life, 500 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 5: the creator of. 501 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 4: The universe will breathe in your direction. 502 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 5: Now I believe and declare you will overcome every obstacle, 503 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 5: defeat every enemy, and you will become. 504 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 4: Everything that God's created you to be.
