I promise you we'll make you feel right 46 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 4: at home. I like to start with something funny, and 47 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 4: I heard about this husband and wife. They'd been arguing 48 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,119 Speaker 4: for a long time about who should make the coffee 49 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 4: in the morning. The husband thought it was the wife's job, 50 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 4: but she just didn't agree in After several heated debates, 51 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 4: she finally told him I can prove it to you 52 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 4: from the Bible that it's the man's job to make 53 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 4: the coffee. He said, what are you talking about. Nothing 54 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 4: in the Bible about the man making the coffee. She said, sure, 55 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 4: there is. She opened her Bible and pointed to the 56 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 4: Book of Hebrews. Say it like you mean it. This 57 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 4: is my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 58 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 59 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 60 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess my mind 61 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 62 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 63 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 4: to talk to you today about the power of the soil. 64 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 4: You can have a good seed that's healthy and strong, 65 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 4: it's full of potential, But if it's not planted in 66 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 4: good soil. It's not going to become what it was 67 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 4: created to be. The problem is not with the seed. 68 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 4: A scientist could study the seed run test, they would 69 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 4: find that is full of life. If it's an apple seed, 70 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 4: it has apples in it. If it's a rose bush, 71 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 4: it has blossoms in it. But if it's planted in 72 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 4: soil that's full of rocks, weeds, and thorns, it may 73 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 4: grow some, but it's not going to produce what it should. 74 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 4: It may survive, but it's not going to be healthy. 75 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 4: It's the same principle in life. You're a seed. You 76 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 4: are full of gifts, talents, potential. But if you plant 77 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 4: yourself in unhealthy soil, if you hang around friends that 78 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 4: compromise and pull you down, if you're in an environment 79 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 4: that's limited, with people that tell you what you can't become, 80 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 4: you won't see the growth that you should not because 81 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 4: there's something wrong with your seed. You're made in the 82 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 4: image of God. The problem is with the soil. The rocks, 83 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 4: the thorns, the weeds are choking the life out of 84 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 4: your seed. Jesus told a parable about a man that 85 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 4: sowed seed on good ground, and it produced a great harvest. 86 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 4: Many crops. Another sowed seed on rocky ground didn't produce 87 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,799 Speaker 4: too much. Another sold it on ground where the weeds 88 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 4: and the thorns kept the seed from growing. All the 89 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 4: same seed. What made the difference was the soil. The 90 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 4: thorns are things like friends that keep causing you to compromise. 91 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 4: The weeds are those co workers that sit around in 92 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 4: gossip all day. The rocks are those family members that 93 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 4: tell you how you can't break that addiction. If you 94 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 4: hang around negative people, they're choking out your seed. Those 95 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 4: friends you're tempted to party with, they may be fond, 96 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 4: they're popular, but what you can't see is they're a weed. 97 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 4: They're keeping you from flourishing. The environment you put yourself 98 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 4: in is extremely important. No matter how good the seed is, 99 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 4: it's dependent on having good soil. You have to be 100 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 4: selective with whom you give your time, energy and attention. 101 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 4: Because people are contagious. You're going to catch what they have. 102 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 4: If your friends are prejudiced, you're going to become prejudice. 103 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 4: If your friends have limited thinking, they don't have any goals, 104 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 4: no motivation, that your own minded mentality is going to 105 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 4: rub off on you. You're going to become like the 106 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 4: people you continually associate with. Don't hang around people that 107 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 4: don't have anything you want. If they're not making you better, 108 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 4: if they're not inspiring you causing you to grow, then 109 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 4: you need to make some changes. You need to pull 110 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 4: up those weeds. Quit hanging around thorny friends. People that 111 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 4: bring out the worst in you, talk you out of 112 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 4: your dreams, cause you to compromise. Their negativity is contaminating 113 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 4: your soil. Your destiny is too great to waste it 114 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 4: with people that are not adding value to your life. Well, Joel, 115 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 4: what if I hurt their feelings? What if you miss 116 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 4: your destiny? What if they choke out your seeds? What 117 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 4: if they keep you from blossoming. I've heard it said 118 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 4: it's not enough to just focus on self development. You 119 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 4: have to focus on oil development, on what's around you, 120 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 4: on what's influencing you, on what you're spending time and 121 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 4: attention with. Are you putting your seed in good soil 122 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 4: or is it being contaminated by what you watch, by 123 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 4: what you think about, by who you're spending time with. 124 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 4: What you're unwilling to walk away from is where you'll 125 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 4: stop growing if you know a person is pulling you 126 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 4: down but you won't make a change, then you'll get 127 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 4: stuck where you are. Your seed can't grow in bad soil. 128 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 4: If you don't get rid of the wrong people, you'll 129 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 4: never meet the right people. Here's the key. God will 130 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 4: never ask us to give something up without giving us 131 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 4: more back in return. And sure, you may go through 132 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 4: a season of being lonely, but what will happen is 133 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 4: God will give you new friends, better friends, people that 134 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 4: push you up instead of pulling you down. In the scripture, 135 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 4: God told Abraham to leave his country, leave his relatives, 136 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 4: and go to a new land. Abraham left. He headed out, 137 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 4: but he took his nephew Lot with him. He was 138 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 4: only supposed to take his immediate family. Before long, Abraham 139 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 4: and Lot had a disagreement. There was strife and arguing 140 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 4: between their herdsmen. Then Lot moved to a different place 141 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 4: and God in trouble. Abraham felt responsible, so he had 142 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 4: to go rescue him. He spent all this time and 143 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 4: energy involved in a problem that he should have never 144 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 4: had if he would have left Lot in the first place. 145 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 4: Some of the challenges we face are because we didn't 146 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 4: leave who God told us to leave. What's interesting is 147 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 4: the name Lot means veil or covering. When you leave lot, 148 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 4: when you leave what you know you're supposed to leave, 149 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 4: the veil will come off. You will see things you've 150 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 4: never seen, new friendships, new opportunities, new talents, new levels. 151 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 4: Are you holding on to what God asks you to 152 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 4: let go of? Someone? Something that's pulling you down, keeping 153 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 4: you from your best Your seed can't flourish in a 154 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 4: negative environment. That's keeping you from growing. And when I 155 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 4: say leave, I don't mean you have to go make 156 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 4: a big announcement. Hey, you're contaminating me. I'm done with you. 157 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 4: I simply mean, little by little, start spending less and 158 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 4: less time with them. If you have a bunch of weeds, 159 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 4: it's choking out your dreams, your vision, your character. At 160 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 4: the office, that person you eat lunch with that's always 161 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 4: complaining about the boss, jealous of coworkers, mad at their spouse. 162 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 4: I say this respectfully. They're a weed. They are contaminating 163 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 4: your soil. They're keeping you from flourishing. And yes, they're 164 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 4: made in the image of God. They can change, but 165 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 4: until they do, you shouldn't let them pollute you. I'm 166 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 4: nice to everyone, but I don't spend my time with everyone. 167 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 4: I'm selective about who I allow in my life. I 168 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 4: don't spend time with negative, critical, jealous, small minded. Can't 169 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 4: do it bitter people. I value what God has given 170 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 4: me too much to put my seed in bad soil. 171 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 4: We have a responsibility. God has given you a gift. 172 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 4: He could have created anyone to be alive at this 173 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 4: day and time, but He chose you. Your seed is full 174 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 4: of potential. Your seed has greatness in it. Your seed 175 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 4: can set a new standard for your family. Your seed 176 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 4: can break generational curses. What God has given you is 177 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 4: extremely valuable. Now do your art keep your seed in 178 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 4: good soil. I have a row of bushes around my house, 179 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 4: and for years they've been healthy and green, just as 180 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 4: lush as can be. But several months ago we noticed 181 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 4: a few of them, all next to each other, started 182 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 4: to look like something was wrong. They were a little 183 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 4: shriveled up and not as green as they should be, 184 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 4: a couple of weeks later, they were all dead, about 185 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 4: fifteen feet out of a long row of bushes. The 186 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 4: landscaper came out. First thing he said was let me 187 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 4: check the soil. He ran some test and found that 188 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 4: the soil in that area had become contaminated. We had 189 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 4: to dig it out and replace it, and now the 190 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 4: new plants are just as healthy as the others. But 191 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 4: sometimes we wonder why we feel kind of like we're 192 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 4: shriveled and we're not growing. God, why aren't you doing 193 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 4: anything check your soil? Has it become contaminated? Who you're 194 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 4: spending time with? What are you giving your attention to. 195 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 4: You can't watch the news all day and live a positive, 196 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 4: faith filled life. After about twenty minutes, you'll be depressed. 197 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 4: Pay attention to your environment. What are you taking in 198 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 4: all day? A man told me how he drove an 199 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 4: hour each way to work for twenty years listening to 200 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 4: talk radio. It was a political station where they're debating politics, 201 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 4: people arguing, being disrespectful, and he would get so wrought up, 202 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 4: so mad. By the time he got to work, he 203 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 4: was sour. Nobody wanted to be around him. He didn't 204 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 4: even like himself. He had turned into a bitter, angry man. 205 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 4: One day, he was flipping through the channels and came 206 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 4: across our serious exem station. He heard me speaking and 207 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 4: couldn't turn it off. That was over a year ago. 208 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 4: He said, Joel, I'm a different person. I'm happy, I'm friendly. 209 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 4: People even asked me what happened to you? What was 210 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 4: the problem all those years his soil, That negativity was 211 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 4: choking out his joy, his faith, his victory. We have 212 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 4: enough negative things in life that we have no control over. 213 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 4: Be selective about what you do have control over. Driving 214 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 4: to work, put on something uplifting music that inspires you. 215 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 4: Listen to a message that builds your faith. Keep your 216 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 4: seed in good soil at home. Don't leave the television 217 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 4: on all day. Chatter, noise in the background. That's your soil. 218 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 4: This is the reason some people aren't growing. They're talented, 219 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 4: they have potential, but their soil has become contaminated. You 220 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 4: have to protect your seed. I know a professional football 221 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 4: player that was diagnosed with cancer. It only been in 222 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 4: the league a couple years. His dream came true, then 223 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 4: he was hit with this diagnose. He didn't fall apart, 224 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 4: he didn't get bitter. He still lives at home. He 225 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 4: told his mother that he didn't want anyone using the 226 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 4: word cancer in his house. He didn't want that word 227 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 4: down in his spirit. He knew if he was in 228 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 4: a depressed environment. I feel sorry for me. You may 229 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 4: not make it atmosphere he wouldn't get well. His attitude was, 230 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 4: I am healed, I am whole. I will play football again. 231 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 4: I will fulfill my destiny. God is bigger than what 232 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 4: I'm facing. What was he doing creating an environment of victory. 233 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 4: He was keeping his seed in good soil. Two years 234 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 4: later he was back in the league. When you face 235 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 4: difficulties more than ever, you need to keep your mind 236 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 4: filled with thoughts of faith. You need to surround yourself 237 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 4: with people that speak hope and life, people that will 238 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 4: agree with what you're believing. For I don't afford to 239 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 4: have people that are negative discouraged, telling you how you 240 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 4: may not make it. And I don't know. My grandmother 241 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 4: died of that same thing. Do yourself a favor. Stay 242 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 4: away from people like that. Don't let them pollute your soil. 243 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 4: One time Jesus went to pray for a little girl 244 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 4: that had died, and when you arrived at the house, 245 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 4: everyone was weeping and so upset. He told them that 246 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 4: she wasn't dead, she was just asleep. They begin to 247 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 4: laugh and make fun. Jesus asked them all to leave 248 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 4: the room. Only one that stayed were Peter, James and John. 249 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 4: He spoke to the little girl and she was healed. 250 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 4: Why did Jesus make them leave? He could have healed 251 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 4: her in front of everyone. He's God. He was showing 252 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 4: us the importance of having the right environment. People, if 253 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 4: you allow them, can talk you out of your dreams. 254 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 4: Their doubt and negativity can rub off on you. You 255 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 4: have to set some bound I love you, but I'm 256 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 4: not going to let you poison me. I have a 257 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,479 Speaker 4: destiny to fulfilled. I'm going to love you from outside 258 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 4: the room. This is what happened with the Israelites. Moses 259 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 4: sent twelve men to spy out the promised land. Ten 260 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 4: came back and said, Moses, we don't have a chance. 261 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 4: There are giants in the land. Compared to them, we 262 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 4: felt like grasshoppers. The other two spies, Joshua and Caleb, 263 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 4: had a different report. They said, Moses, we are well able. 264 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 4: Let us go in at once and take this land. 265 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 4: But the negative report from the majority from the ten 266 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 4: spies began to spread throughout the whole camp. Before long, 267 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 4: all two million Israelites were discouraged, complaining saying Moses, let's 268 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 4: go back to Egypt. Let's just go back to being slaves. 269 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 4: God had promised them the victory, but they never did 270 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 4: make it in because they're soil was contaminated. That seed 271 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 4: couldn't grow in that negative environment. The people you surround 272 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 4: yourself with are extremely important. Don't hang around, can't do it. 273 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 4: People not able to people. Yes, I know God promised you, 274 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 4: but I don't see how you can get well, how 275 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 4: you can meet the right person, how you'll break that addiction. 276 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 4: Stay away from people like that. Find Joshua, find Caleb. 277 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 4: Not people that will throw water on your flame, but 278 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 4: people that will fan your flame, people that will join 279 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 4: their faith with yours and say, hey, if you believe, 280 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 4: count me in. I'm going to believe with you. When 281 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 4: Henry Ford had a dream to make a car with 282 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 4: an engine, he started developing it, but everyone told him 283 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 4: it wouldn't work, that it wasn't a good idea. He 284 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 4: was about to stop when Thomas Edison came to see him. 285 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 4: They had never met. They introduced mister Ford as the 286 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 4: man trying to build a car that would run on gasoline. 287 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 4: Edison's eyes got big. He hit his fist on the 288 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 4: table and said, you've got it. A car that has 289 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 4: its own power plant. That's a brilliant idea. Henry Ford 290 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 4: would tell how that conversation and that friendship is what 291 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 4: kept him going. None of us would be driving a 292 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 4: Ford if he had not found that good soil. The critics, 293 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 4: the naysayers are a dime a dozen. Ten of the 294 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 4: twelve spies were negative. That's about average. Eighty percent will 295 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 4: tell you what you can't do. You have to find 296 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 4: the twenty percent that will tell you what you can do. 297 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 4: The majority, most of the time, won't see what you see. 298 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 4: They won't encourage you. You have to find the minority. 299 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 4: And I believe that one reason I'm seeing God's favor 300 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 4: is because I've been in good soil, and a lot 301 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 4: of it I can't take credit for was in anything 302 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 4: I did. It was simply the goodness of God. I 303 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 4: was raised by parents that always told me what I 304 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 4: could become in a loving, faith filled environment. I saw 305 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 4: my father believe for big things, break barriers that he 306 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 4: was raised with. He came out of poverty, and he 307 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 4: lived with this all things are possible mentality. Years before 308 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 4: my father passed away, Victoria would tell me that one 309 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 4: day I was going to pastor the church, and that 310 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 4: seems so odd. I used to think what is she 311 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 4: talking about. I can't get up in front of people, 312 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 4: But year after years, she told me what I could become. 313 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,719 Speaker 4: When my father went to be with the Lord, I 314 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 4: was able to step up. Why my seed had been 315 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 4: in good soil. My sister Lisa worked behind the scenes 316 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 4: seventeen years with me. She was the head of our 317 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 4: volunteers and she would assist my father during the services, 318 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 4: make sure that he had what he needed. The Sunday 319 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 4: after my father died, I was sitting in my father's 320 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 4: seat about to go up to minister. Lisa was sitting 321 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 4: behind me, where she always sat. She said that God 322 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 4: spoke to her down in her heart. He said, just 323 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 4: as you served your father, you are to now serve 324 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 4: your brother. For the last eighteen years, that's what Lisa 325 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 4: has done, She's helped me encourage me. She could have 326 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 4: been jealous God I wanted to be promoted. I don't 327 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 4: want to serve him. I want him to serve me, 328 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 4: Thank you Jesus. Instead, she celebrated me. What am I saying? 329 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 4: I didn't get here by myself. I got here because 330 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 4: I had good soil all around me, people that believed 331 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 4: in me, people that cheered me on, people that encouraged me. 332 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 4: Here's what I'm saying. Your soil is just as important 333 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 4: as your See, you may have had just the opposite 334 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 4: people that didn't support you. Instead of telling you what 335 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 4: you could become, they told you what you couldn't do. 336 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 4: The good news is that doesn't have to stop you. 337 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 4: Your seed is still alive. If you will get it 338 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 4: in a different environment with can do, people, with possibility, thinking, 339 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 4: with friends that inspire you, then your seed will take 340 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 4: root and begin to blossom. You can still reach the 341 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 4: fullness of your destiny. This is what Elijah did. He 342 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 4: was out working in the fields, a farmer, no doubt, 343 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 4: from a limited background. Didn't look like he had much 344 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 4: of a future. But the prophet Elijah came by and 345 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 4: called out to him. Elisha saw something in Elijah that 346 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 4: he wanted. He saw the favor on his life, how 347 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 4: Elijah was doing great things. He connected with him. He thought, 348 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 4: that's good soil. That's where I need to keep my seed. 349 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 4: For years, Elisha served Elijah. He waited on him, would 350 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 4: bring him food, he wouldn't leave him. In fact, three 351 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 4: times Elijah tried to get Elisha to go do his 352 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,239 Speaker 4: own thing, but he wouldn't do it. When Elijah was 353 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 4: taken to heaven, Elisha received a double portion of his anointing. 354 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 4: If Elisha would have stayed out in the fields, in 355 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 4: that limited environment, with the friends he grew up with, 356 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 4: he would have never seen the double He had to 357 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 4: get his seed in the right soil. You need people 358 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 4: in your life that are further along than you, people 359 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 4: that have a bigger vision, that are more successful, more 360 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 4: well off in one sense, people that are out of 361 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 4: your league. You have to be exposed to new levels 362 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 4: before you can go to new levels. If you're the 363 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 4: smartest one in your group, your group is too small. 364 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 4: If you're the most successful, you need to get a 365 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 4: larger circle. Don't be intimidated by people that are further along. 366 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 4: Be inspired, Find some good mentors, connect with dreamers, people 367 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 4: that have a bigger vision. Glean from them that's good soil. 368 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 4: A friend of mine feeds a million children a day. 369 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 4: He supports charities that help these underprivileged children. His goal 370 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 4: is to feed ten million a day. When I'm around him, 371 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 4: I'm inspired. It makes me dream bigger. I thank God 372 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 4: you did it for him, You can do it for me. 373 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 4: What is that my seed? Getting in good soil. Does 374 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 4: your vision increase around your friends or does it decrease? 375 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 4: Do you lead challenged, motivated? Inspired? Are you discouraged? Negative? Drained? 376 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 4: Now I'm not saying that every friend will inspire you, 377 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 4: but you should have one or two that light of 378 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 4: fire on the inside that pushed you forward. If you 379 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 4: only invest in people at your same level, you'll get 380 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 4: stuck there. Find a mentor somebody that's gone where you 381 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 4: want to go. Just as the wrong people will pull 382 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 4: you down, the right people will pull you up. In 383 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 4: Acts chapter three, a crippled man had been lying by 384 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 4: the temple gate for years asking for money. Peter came 385 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 4: along and said, I don't have any money, but in 386 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 4: the name of Jesus, rise and walk. Nothing happened. The 387 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 4: man looked at Peter like, what do you mean, rise 388 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 4: and walk? I'm crippled. I've been this way my whole life. 389 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 4: I can't walk. This could have been the end of 390 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 4: the story. Peter could have thought it did my part, 391 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 4: it didn't work. But the scripture says Peter took him 392 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 4: by the right hand and lifted him up. As he did, 393 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 4: the man's legs were instantly healed. Notice Peter wouldn't let 394 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 4: the man stay down. He didn't give him a choice. 395 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 4: He prayed for him and then pulled him up. You 396 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 4: need some friends like Peter that won't let you stay 397 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 4: down when you're in the pits, when you can't get 398 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 4: up by yourself. Not people that will get in the 399 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 4: pit with you. Let's tell sad stories together, let's feel 400 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 4: sorry for ourselves. No people that will pull you out 401 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 4: of that pit. People that love you so much. They 402 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 4: won't let you stay addicted. They won't let you stay depressed. 403 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 4: They won't let you miss your destiny. Not just people 404 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 4: that pray, but they pull you up. Now. I know 405 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 4: that's why many come out here and many of you listen, 406 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 4: because you know we're always going to lift you up. 407 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 4: You may be down, but we're not going to let 408 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 4: you stay down. We're gonna tell you get up. There 409 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 4: are new levels. You've been hurt. Get up. God has 410 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 4: beauty for those ashes. You lost something. Get up. God's 411 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 4: about to restore you went through a disappointment. Get up. 412 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 4: A new beginning is coming. You're still single, Get up. 413 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,959 Speaker 4: The right person's on the way. You're struggling in your finances, 414 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 4: Get up. God's going to open the windows of heaven. 415 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 4: You need people that will pull you into your destiny, 416 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 4: like this man. Sometimes you can't go to the next 417 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 4: level without somebody pulling you up. If you're crippled in 418 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 4: some area, so to speak, and you surround yourself with 419 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 4: people just like you, there's nobody to help you up. 420 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 4: You have to get around somebody stronger, somebody more successful, 421 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 4: somebody free, so they can lift you. Lame people can't 422 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 4: help lame people up. Addicted people can't help addicted people up. 423 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 4: Maybe you need to change who you're spending time with. 424 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 4: God has some peters waiting for you. He's ordained people 425 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 4: already to lift you up, people that are destined to 426 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 4: pull you up. Don't sit around in some kind of 427 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 4: dysfunction with other dysfunctional people the rest of your life. 428 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 4: Your seed can't grow in that soil. Stay away from 429 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 4: people that are enabling to dysfunction. Get away from people 430 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 4: that tell you where you are is where you're always 431 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 4: going to be. Don't believe that lie. Your seed is 432 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 4: still alive. When it hits the good soil, You're going 433 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 4: to see things happen you never dream what happen. You're 434 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 4: not going to stay addicted. Freedom is coming You're not 435 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 4: going to struggle in your health, your whole life. Wholeness 436 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 4: is coming. That lack not having enough is not your destiny. 437 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 4: In good soil, You're going to see abundance, overflow, more 438 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 4: than enough. Now do your part. Start pulling up the weeds, 439 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 4: get rid of those thorny friends, people that are pulling 440 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 4: you down. Be selective with what you will give your 441 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 4: attention to. All dame.
