I like to start 30 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 4: with something funny, and I heard about this husband and wife. 31 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 4: They'd been arguing for a long time about who should 32 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 4: make the coffee in the morning. The husband thought it 33 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,559 Speaker 4: was the wife's job, but she just didn't agree. After 34 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 4: several heated debates, she finally told him, I can prove 35 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 4: it to you from the Bible that it's the man's job. 36 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: To make the coffee. He said, what are you talking about. 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 4: There's nothing in the Bible about the man making the coffee. 38 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: She said, sure, there is. 39 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 4: She opened the Bible and turned to the Book of Hebrews. 40 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 3: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 41 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 4: I am what it says, I am, I have what 42 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says 43 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 4: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 44 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 4: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 45 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 4: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 46 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 4: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 47 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,399 Speaker 4: about who do you say you are? 48 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 3: There are a lot of. 49 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 4: Voices in life trying to define us and tell us 50 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 4: who we are. Sometimes they're uplifting, a parent telling us 51 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 4: that we're talented, we can do great things. 52 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: Other Times they're negative. 53 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 4: You're not attractive, there's nothing special about you. Our own 54 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 4: thoughts will try to label us. You made too many mistakes, 55 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 4: You miss your chance. When you listen to all these voices, 56 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 4: it's easy to think who's telling the truth. 57 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 3: Who am i? 58 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 4: Am I talented or am I ordinary? Am I strong 59 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 4: and confident? Or am I weak and insecure? Do I 60 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 4: have a bright future? 61 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 3: Or have I blown it? Here's the key. 62 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 4: The only voice that matters is your voice. Who do 63 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 4: you say you are? 64 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 3: What you choose is what you will become. 65 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 4: And instead of letting people define you, instead of letting 66 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 4: circumstances label you, you need to go back to what 67 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 4: God said about you. God says you can do all 68 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 4: things through Christ. You're equipped and empowered. Other voices will 69 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 4: tell you the problems too big, you don't have. 70 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 3: What it takes. Who do you say you are? 71 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 4: God says you have seeds of greatness. You are destined 72 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 4: to leave your mark. Other voices will tell you you're 73 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 4: just ordinary, you'll never do anything significant. You have the 74 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 4: final choice. Who do you say you are? The problem 75 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 4: with some people is they've chosen the wrong voice so long, 76 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 4: they don't know who they really are. 77 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 3: They've let people label them, tell them what they're not, 78 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: what they can't do. 79 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 4: They've allowed circumstances to define them, mistakes, disappointments. 80 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 3: Now they've lost their passion. 81 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 4: If you let these other voices play, it will keep 82 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 4: you from your destiny. The only one that knows who 83 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 4: you really are is your creator. He calls you a masterpiece. 84 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 4: He said you've been fearfully and wonderfully made. 85 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: He said you will be mighty in the land. 86 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 4: That you are more than a conquer strong, confident, approved, valuable. 87 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 3: That's who you were created to be. 88 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 4: When you say what God says about you, then you 89 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 4: activate what he put on the inside. But you can't 90 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 4: say I'm weak and tap into the power. You can't 91 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 4: say I'll never get ahead and tap into the abundance. 92 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 4: He can't say I'm not that talented and tap into 93 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 4: your greatness. 94 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 3: Who do you say you are? 95 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: Not? 96 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 4: Who do other people say you are? Who does your 97 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 4: family say you are? Who do your coworkers say you are? 98 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 4: No disrespect, but you are not who people say you are. 99 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 3: You are who God says you are. 100 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 4: People can't always see what God put in you. They 101 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 4: can't see the potential, the gifts, the greatness. If you 102 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 4: let them put their limitations on you, convince you that 103 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 4: you can't accomplish your dream, you'll never get out of debt. 104 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 3: You can't overcome that sickness. 105 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 4: Then, because you're letting them define you, what they're saying 106 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 4: is going to come to pass. They may speak negative things, 107 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 4: but it has no power if you don't let it 108 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 4: get in. You don't repeat the negative people have spoken 109 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 4: over you. In John chapter one, the Jewish leaders sent 110 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 4: men out into the desert to find out who John 111 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 4: the Baptist was. They had heard so much about him, 112 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 4: he had a large following. These leaders traveled from Jerusale 113 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 4: and asked John if he was to Christ. He told 114 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 4: them no. 115 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: They asked if he was Elijah. He said it again. 116 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 3: I'm not, they said in verse twenty two. 117 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 4: Then tell us who you are so we can give 118 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 4: an answer to those who sent us. What do you 119 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 4: say about yourself? John could have answered many different ways. 120 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 4: He could have told them about his background, his education, 121 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 4: his philosophy. But verse twenty three says John replied, in 122 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 4: the words of Isaiah, I am a voice shouting in 123 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 4: the wilderness. Prepare the way for the Lord. He went 124 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 4: back to what the scripture said about him. He didn't 125 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 4: say what he felt. He didn't say how he was raised, 126 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 4: what he was dealing with. He said what God said 127 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 4: about him. Imagine someone ask you, who do you say 128 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 4: you are so we can tell others. What kind of 129 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 4: answer would you have? Well, this pandemic has me worried. 130 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 4: My back's been hurting, my business is slow. These kids 131 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 4: are getting on my nerves. I'm really discouraged. 132 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: Sit that up. That is not who you are. 133 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 4: Go back to the scripture and say what God says 134 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 4: about you. 135 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 3: Your answer should. 136 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 4: Be tell them I'm strong, anointed, talented, favored, healthy, blessed, forgiven, 137 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 4: fearfully and wonderfully made. We start off every service saying 138 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 4: I am what God says I am. 139 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: I am not what I feel. I may feel weak, but. 140 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 4: God says I'm strong, So my report is I am strong. 141 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 4: When you say that, strength starts heading your way. You 142 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 4: may not feel up to par. You're dealing with an illness, 143 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 4: struggling with anxiety, fighting that depression. It's easy to wear 144 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 4: the labels sick, depressed, anxious, defeated. That's just who I am. 145 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 4: That's not who you are. That's what you're dealing with. 146 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 4: You're not a sick person trying to get well. You're 147 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 4: a well person fighting off sickness. Don't let that difficulty 148 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 4: become your identity. Don't get in agreement with the negative. 149 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 4: Go back to what your creator said. God said he's 150 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 4: restoring health back into you. He said you will run 151 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 4: and not be weary. He said, weeping endoors for a night, 152 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 4: but joy is coming in the morning. What do you 153 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 4: say about yourself? 154 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 3: I'm sick, I'm depressed. 155 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 4: Now I'm healthy, I'm whole, I'm energetic, I'm free, I'm happy, 156 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 4: I'm victorious. If you'll start saying what God says about 157 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 4: you instead of what you feel, you'll see things begin 158 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 4: to turn around. Don't go through life. We're in these 159 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 4: negative labels. I talked to a man that was so 160 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 4: down on himself. He told me how he had made mistakes, 161 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 4: didn't raise his children right. He was struggling with an addiction. 162 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 4: He said, I feel so unworthy. I don't deserve to 163 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 4: be blessed. When you're on yourself, it's not doing anything productive. 164 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 4: Being against yourself is not going to help you move forward. 165 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 4: The enemy is called the accuser. He'll remind you of 166 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 4: every mistake you've made, every. 167 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 3: Time you failed. 168 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 4: He'd love for you to wear these labels unworthy, washed up, 169 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 4: no future. 170 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 3: I told him what I'm telling you. 171 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 4: As long as you see yourself unworthy, not deserving, it's 172 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 4: going to keep you where you are. Instead of wearing 173 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 4: those labels. Why don't you say what God says about you. 174 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 4: I'm forgiving, I'm redeemed, I'm restored, my past is over 175 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 4: and my future is bright. Who do you say you 176 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 4: are not? Who do your mistakes say you are? Who 177 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 4: do your friends say you are? Who do the negative 178 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 4: thoughts say you are? What you say overrides all the others. 179 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 4: What you say gives it the right to come to pass. Now, 180 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 4: quit saying negative things about yourself. I'm so overweight. I'm 181 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 4: so undisciplined. I'll never get out of this neighborhood. I'll 182 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 4: never break this addiction. 183 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 3: You're going to become what you believe. 184 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 4: Why don't you start saying what God says about you. 185 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 4: I'm talented, I'm successful, I'm prosperous, I'm free, I'm valuable, 186 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 4: I'm a masterpiece. What you say about yourself is going 187 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 4: to become a reality. 188 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 3: Who do you say you are? I'm just average. 189 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 4: You're going to be average, when the truth is God 190 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 4: didn't make anyone average. Nobody has your fingerprints. Nobody can 191 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 4: do what you can do. But as long as you 192 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 4: believe your ordinary, you wan't shine like you're supposed to shine. 193 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 4: When Moses was born, the scripture says he was no 194 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 4: ordinary child. 195 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 3: There was something special about him. 196 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 4: As he grew up, he could sense his destiny was 197 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 4: to deliver the Israelites out of slavery. He had good intentions, 198 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 4: but he made a mistake. 199 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 3: He ended up. 200 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 4: Having to flee to the desert. He spent forty years 201 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 4: in hiding. I can imagine those voices told him how 202 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 4: he blew it, that he missed his chance. He could 203 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 4: have warned the labels failure, washed up too late. But 204 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 4: deep down he could hear that still small voice telling 205 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 4: him you are no ordinary child. This is not how 206 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 4: your story ends. There is greatness in you. Just because 207 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 4: you've made mistakes doesn't mean that stopped your destiny. What 208 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 4: God started he's going to finish. What stops us is 209 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 4: when we start wearing the negative labels, when we start 210 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 4: believing that we're washed up, we quit pursuing our dreams. 211 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 4: After forty years in the desert, God appeared to Moses 212 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 4: and said, now it's your time to fulfill your destiny. 213 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 4: He went on to deliver the Israelites part the Red Sea, 214 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 4: do great things. I don't believe this would have happened 215 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 4: if Moses would have seen himself as a failure. 216 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 3: I've made too many mistakes. 217 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 4: Instead, he saw himself as no ordinary child. He kept 218 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 4: the right image on the inside. When you were born, 219 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 4: God said the same thing about you as he did Moses. 220 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 4: This is no ordinary child. God put greatness in you. 221 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 4: He's destined you to leave your mark. You may have 222 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 4: made mistakes, you may have obstacles. It's taken longer than 223 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 4: you thought, but that doesn't change what's in you. 224 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 3: Now. 225 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 4: The enemy will work over time to try to steal 226 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 4: your sense of value, your sense of worth. He knows 227 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 4: if he can distort your identity who you are and 228 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 4: convince you that you're just average, nothing special about you, then. 229 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 3: He can keep you from your greatness. I wonder what 230 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 3: you could accomplish. I wonder how far. 231 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 4: God will take you if you will just live like 232 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 4: you are no ordinary child, not arrogantly, but knowing that 233 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 4: God has placed greatness in you, that there's a favor 234 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 4: on your life that will take you where you can't 235 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 4: go on your own, and anointing that will break every 236 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 4: chain that's trying to hold you back, a blessing that 237 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 4: will cause you to stand out. 238 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 3: Who do you say? You are? 239 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 4: Not ordinary, not average. You are a child of the 240 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 4: most High God. You have royal blood flowing through your veins. 241 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 4: You've been crowned with favor. What's trying to stop you 242 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 4: doesn't have a chance. God being for you is more 243 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 4: than the world being against you. That dream may seem 244 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 4: too big for some people it is, but not for you. 245 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 3: You're no ordinary child. That sickness should be the end. 246 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 4: The medical report says you're done, But not for you. 247 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 3: You're no ordinary child. 248 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 4: That mistake you've made should have off your destiny. It 249 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 4: should have limited your future, but not for you. 250 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 3: You are no ordinary child. 251 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 4: God handpicked you before you could choose him. 252 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 3: He chose you when he created you. 253 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 4: God stepped back and said that was very good. 254 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 3: Now, God created you the verses. He flung stars into. 255 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 4: Space, He made spectacular sunrises, magnificent mountain ranges, but he 256 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 4: never said they were very good. The only thing he 257 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 4: said that about was you. Now, don't go around thinking 258 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 4: your average you don't have much to offer. 259 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 3: You are no ordinary child. You are a history maker. 260 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 4: You are a world changer. You are destined to leave 261 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 4: your mark what jo hold. This sounds good, But I 262 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 4: think you have the wrong person. It's nothing unusual about me. 263 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 4: I'm not super talented. I don't have a great personality. 264 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 4: I don't come from a influential family. As long as 265 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 4: you're discounting yourself, you're not going to see your greatness. 266 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 4: Who do you say you are ordinary? Average? You're going 267 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 4: to become that. I'm asking you to get in agreement 268 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 4: with God. He said you are no ordinary child. It 269 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 4: doesn't matter how you were raised. It's not dependent on 270 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 4: how much education you have. How many connections, What obstacles 271 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 4: you're up against. When you believe doors will open, you 272 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 4: never dream would open. God will take you further than 273 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 4: you can imagine. The prophet Joel said, wake up the 274 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 4: mighty men, wake up the mighty women. I want to 275 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 4: wake up your greatness. Wake up your dreams. Wake up 276 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 4: that business God put in you. Wake up that book, 277 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 4: the movie, the song, the orphanage, the ministry. May seem 278 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,359 Speaker 4: like it's over your head, but you have to understand 279 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 4: you are no ordinary child, not average. You can accomplish 280 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 4: more than you think. You are stronger than you think. 281 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 4: You are more anointed than you think. You are more 282 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 4: favored than you think. You are more talented than you think. 283 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 4: The dreams and gifts God put in you are much 284 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 4: bigger than you think. If you're going to see the 285 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 4: fullness of what's in you, then you have. 286 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 3: To see yourself the right way. 287 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 4: Who do you say you are? Don't you dare say 288 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 4: I'm average, I'm ordinary? Get in agreement with God. I 289 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 4: am no ordinary child. I am highly favored, I am 290 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 4: destined for greatness. I am surrounded with God's goodness. When 291 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 4: you know you're an unusual child, you will see unusual favor, 292 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 4: unusual healing, unusual doors open, unusual breakthroughs. We would have 293 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 4: never gotten the Compact Center if I didn't believe that 294 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 4: I was no ordinary child. 295 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 3: Now everything in me said I was ordinary. 296 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 4: When I stepped up to pastor the church, I felt unqualified. 297 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 3: But you can't go by your feelings. 298 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 4: I chose to believe what God said that I was 299 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 4: equipped and empowered. I had never ministered, didn't have the training, 300 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 4: the experience. All the circumstances said I was average. There 301 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 4: was nothing special about me. But deep down I was 302 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 4: bold enough to believe that I was no ordinary child. 303 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 4: I didn't tell anyone, but I could feel the seeds 304 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 4: of greatness. I could hear God whispering in the night 305 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 4: that big doors were going to open. Victoria told me 306 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 4: ten years before my father passed that one day I 307 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 4: would pastor the church. And that seems so odd to me. 308 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 4: I thought, boy, I've got her fooled. I can't get 309 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 4: up in front of people. I felt ordinary, but the 310 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 4: scripture says, there is fire shut up in your bones, 311 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 4: there is greatness shut up on the inside. As I 312 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 4: stepped up, I discovered talent that I didn't know was 313 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 4: in me. There was a boldness and confidence that I'd 314 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 4: never had before. When I heard that the Compact center 315 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 4: was coming available, I didn't think twice. I never thought 316 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 4: about where we'd get the funds or how it could happen. 317 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 4: I just knew we were supposed to pursue it. When 318 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 4: you know that you're no ordinary child, you'll go after 319 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 4: dreams that seem too big. You'll pray bold prayers. You'll 320 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 4: believe for things that most people think are impossible. There 321 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 4: are compact centers that have your name on them, dreams 322 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 4: much bigger than you thought, businesses, ministries. 323 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 3: How could it happen? 324 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 4: You don't have the experience, the funding, the connections. You 325 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 4: are no ordinary child. There is a favor on your 326 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 4: life that will catapult you ahead, a blessing that will 327 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 4: cause people to help you. And God is not asking 328 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 4: you to figure it out. He's just asking you to believe, 329 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 4: not only believe in Him, but believe in who He. 330 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 3: Created you to be. Who do you say you are? 331 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 4: If you're going to reach your destiny, if you're going 332 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 4: to see your compact centers, your dreams, you're healing, you 333 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 4: have to know that you're not ordinary. 334 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 3: There's something special. 335 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 4: About you, not because of who you are, but because 336 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 4: of whose you are. The most High God breathed his 337 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 4: life into you. Well, Joel, I don't feel special. You 338 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 4: don't have to feel it. You just have to believe it. 339 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 4: If you'll believe it long enough, then you'll not only 340 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 4: feel it, but you'll see it. I didn't feel special, 341 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 4: I felt ordinary, but I chose to believe it by faith. Now, 342 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 4: every time I walk into this stadium, I know I 343 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 4: am no ordinary child. I know I couldn't have done 344 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 4: this on my own, but the creator of the universe 345 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 4: favored me. I didn't think I could speak in front 346 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 4: of people. I was too quiet, too reserved. But every 347 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 4: time I flip through the channels and see myself on television, 348 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 4: I do a double tape. I'm amazed at where God 349 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 4: has taken me. I realize I am no ordinary child. No, 350 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 4: I'm not bragging on me. I'm bragging on the. 351 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 3: Greatness of our God. 352 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 4: He wants to take your places that you've never dreamed. 353 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 4: What He has planned for your future is bigger and 354 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 4: more rewarding. 355 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 3: Than you've ever imagined. 356 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 4: Judges, Chapter six, the Midianites had overtaken the people of 357 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 4: Israel and were making their lives miserable. There was a 358 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 4: man named Gideon that was hiding in the wine press, 359 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 4: afraid of the Midianites. An angel appeared to him and said, 360 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 4: mighty hero, the Lord is with you, I can imagine. 361 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 4: Gideon looked around and thought, who's he talking about. 362 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 3: I'm not a mighty hero. I'm hiding. I'm afraid. 363 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 4: The angel went on to tell him that he was 364 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 4: to rescue the people of Israel from the Midianites. He 365 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 4: was to lead the charge was so taken aback. He 366 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 4: said to the angel, how can I deliver the Israelites. 367 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 4: I come from the weakest tribe, and I'm the youngest 368 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 4: one in my family. He was saying, God, you have 369 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 4: the wrong person. I'm young, I'm weak, I'm intimidated. He 370 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 4: started making all these excuses, telling God what he wasn't. 371 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 3: But I've learned God won't ask you to do something 372 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 3: if he hasn't already. 373 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 4: Given you what you need. You may not have tapped 374 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 4: into it yet, but it's in you. Like with Gideon, 375 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 4: God is calling you a mighty hero. Other voices will 376 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 4: call your ordinary, not talented, weak, afraid. 377 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: Someone is wrong. 378 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 4: These are two conflicting reports you're either a mighty hero 379 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 4: or you're weak and unable. 380 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 3: Here's the key. 381 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 4: You get to choose who do you say you are? 382 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 4: Either voice can come to pass. It's all dependent on 383 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 4: who you agree with. Are you going to agree with 384 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 4: God and say yes, I believe I'm a mighty hero, 385 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 4: I'm equipped and empowered, I'm well able to fulfill my destiny. 386 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 4: Or are you going to do like Gideon and start 387 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 4: making excuses to stay where you are. I wasn't raised 388 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 4: in a good environment, Joel. I've had some bad breaks. 389 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 4: This company did me wrong, this person walked out on me. 390 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 4: Nobody would help me with my dream. Respectfully, none of 391 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 4: that matters what God has ordained for You cannot be 392 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,719 Speaker 4: stopped by people, by bad breaks, by disappointments. God already 393 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 4: knew it was going to happen. He's already lined up 394 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 4: what you need now. He's calling you a mighty hero. 395 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 4: He's calling you to set new standards, to take your 396 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 4: family to a new level, a mighty hero to break 397 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 4: generational curses that keep getting passed down. He's calling you 398 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 4: to put an end to that dysfunction. A mighty hero 399 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 4: to stop the poverty and lack and step into abundance 400 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 4: and overflow. What's interesting is when God called Gideon a 401 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 4: mighty hero, he hadn't done anything significant. 402 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 3: He hadn't defeated. 403 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 4: A giant like David, hadn't parted the Red Sea like Moses, 404 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 4: hadn't brought a dead person back to life like Elijah. 405 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,239 Speaker 4: It seemed like he was just ordinary, just working on 406 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 4: the farm every day, gathering up the wheat. But God 407 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 4: calls us what we are before it happens. 408 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 3: He knows what's in us. 409 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 4: He's the one that put the potential, the gifts, the talents. 410 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 4: Gideon finally did what I'm asking us to do. Instead 411 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 4: of seeing himself as ordinary not able to something rose 412 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 4: up on the inside. 413 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 3: He said, in. 414 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 4: Effect, if God says I'm a mighty hero, then I 415 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 4: believe I'm a mighty hero. He went out with thirty 416 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 4: two thousand men to fight the Midianites, but God told 417 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 4: him that was too many. He kept weeding it down 418 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 4: more and more. Finally, when he just had three hundred men, 419 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,959 Speaker 4: he went out to fight this army of thousands and thousands. 420 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 4: Sometimes God will let the odds be against you in 421 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 4: a great way, so when he turns it around, you'll 422 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 4: know it's him and not you. At midnight, Gideon and 423 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 4: those three hundred men attacked the Midianites. They rushed to 424 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,959 Speaker 4: their camp, shouting a sword for the Lord and a 425 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 4: sword for Gideon. 426 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 3: Here. 427 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 4: A few days earlier, Gideon was hiding from his enemies. 428 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 4: Now he's rushing toward them, with all of the men 429 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 4: shouting his name. God wanted gid in to hear them, 430 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 4: declaring that he. 431 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: Was a mighty hero. 432 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 4: The Midianites got confused and started fighting each other. They 433 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 4: ended up defeating themselves, and Gideon won the victory. When 434 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 4: God calls you a mighty hero, if you'll get an 435 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 4: agreement with him, you will beco a mighty hero. He 436 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 4: will make things happen that you couldn't make happen. 437 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 3: Now, quit discounting yourself. 438 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 4: If I had the training, if I came from a 439 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 4: different family, if this pandemic hadn't a hit, then I 440 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 4: could do something great. God wants to do something great 441 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 4: in your life, despite odds being against you. He's not 442 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 4: limited by what you don't have, by what the economy 443 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 4: is doing, by what hasn't worked out. 444 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 3: He doesn't need everything you think you need. 445 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 4: He's going to cause you to accomplish great things with 446 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 4: less resources. 447 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 3: Just ask David. 448 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 4: All he had was a slingshot and a few stones, 449 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 4: but that catapulted him into his destiny. God is calling 450 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 4: you a giant killer, a history maker, a mighty hero. 451 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 4: Why don't you get in agreement with him? What a 452 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 4: shame to live and die and never really know who 453 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 4: you are? What could you become if you saw yourself 454 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 4: the way God sees you? What dreams could you accomplish? 455 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 4: What obstacles could you overcome? What businesses could you build? 456 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 4: What books could you write? What influence could you have 457 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 4: if you only knew who you are. Gideon didn't feel 458 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 4: like a mighty hero. He didn't come from influence and wealth. 459 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 4: He wasn't strong and courageous. Nothing about his circumstances look 460 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 4: like what God said. But God calls you what you 461 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 4: are before you become it. Then it's up to you. 462 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 4: If you'll believe it, get it down in your spirit, 463 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 4: it will become a reality. Gideon never dreamed one day 464 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 4: he would be in the Bible. Never dream thousands of 465 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 4: years ago we'd be talking about his story. You don't 466 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 4: know where God is taking you. You don't know the 467 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 4: doors He's going to open the giants you're going to defeat, 468 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 4: the influence you're going to have. There's an awesome future 469 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 4: in front of you, but it's depend on how you 470 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 4: see yourself. 471 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 3: Who do you say you are? 472 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 4: Average, limited, disadvantage, not able to that will keep you 473 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 4: from your destiny. Instead of letting people define you, instead 474 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 4: of letting your past label you, why don't you go back. 475 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 3: To what God says about you. 476 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 4: He's the one that made you. Like Gideon, you may 477 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 4: not realize who you are. God send an angel to 478 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 4: remind him he rose up and left his mark. An 479 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 4: angel may not appear to you, but maybe God is 480 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 4: using me to remind. 481 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 3: You who you are. 482 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 4: You are a mighty hero. You are a masterpiece. You 483 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 4: are strong, valuable, talented, confident, healthy, anointed, victorious forgiven. You 484 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 4: are no ordinary child. Put your shoulders back, hold your 485 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 4: head up, hie, and step up to who you. 486 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 3: Were created to be. 487 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 4: If you'll do this, I believe and declare, you're going 488 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 4: to say see God show out in your life. New 489 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 4: doors are about to open, new opportunities. Giants are about 490 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 4: to come down, healing favor, breakthroughs, the fullness of your 491 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 4: destiny in Jesus' name. I'd like to give you an 492 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 4: opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life. Would 493 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 4: you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent 494 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 4: of my sins. Come into my heart. I make you 495 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 4: my Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, 496 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 4: we believe you got born again.
