Speaker 5: you we'll make you feel right at home. I like

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 5: to start with something funny, and I heard about this

46
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 5: senior citizen. He was driving down the freeway in his

47
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 5: brand new Corvette with the top down, going eighty miles

48
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 5: an hour when he saw flashing red lights in his

49
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 5: rear view mirror from a state trooper. Without thinking about it,

50
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 5: he floored it. Took it up to one hundred miles

51
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 5: an hour. He heard the sirens behind him, finally came

52
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 5: to his senses.

53
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: And pulled over.

54
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 5: He said, Officer, I am so sorry. I don't know

55
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 5: what I was thinking. The trooper said, listen, it's Friday,

56
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 5: four o'clock. My shift is over in thirty minutes. If

57
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 5: you tell me a reason why you were speeding that I've.

58
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: Never heard before, I'll let you go. The man thought

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: about it, said officer.

60
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 5: Years ago, my wife ran off with a state trooper,

61
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 5: and I thought you were bringing her back.

62
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 4: The officer said, have a great weekend like you mean it.

63
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 5: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

64
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do

65
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be

66
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

67
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

68
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

69
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 5: to talk to you today about kiss it goodbye. There's

70
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 5: a lady in the scripture named Naomi. She left Bethlehem

71
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 5: with her husband and two sons because of a famine.

72
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: They moved to the city of Moab. They had plenty

73
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: of food.

74
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 5: Life was good until her husband unexpectedly died. She never

75
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 5: dreamed she'd be a widow. Ten years later, both of

76
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 5: her grown sons passed away, and she was so discouraged

77
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 5: she decided to move back home to Bethlehem. She told

78
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 5: her two daughters in law, Ruth and Orpah, that they

79
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 5: should move back to their hometowns as well and start

80
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 5: a new life. Ruth said, no, Naomi, I'm staying with you.

81
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 5: I'm going to Bethlehem to help take care of you.

82
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 5: The other daughter in law, Orpah, took her advice and

83
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 5: said she was going to leave and move back home.

84
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 5: You would think Naomi would have been a little sour

85
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 5: and thought, after all I've done for you, Orpah, you're

86
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 5: going to leave me now at my lowest moment. You

87
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 5: can go get remarried, you can find another job.

88
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: I'm an old.

89
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 5: Lady who's going to take care of me. She could

90
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 5: have felt betrayed insulted. Instead, the scripture says Naomi kissed Orpah.

91
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 4: Goodbye.

92
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 5: Orpah represented the broken dreams, the hurts, the disappointments, the things.

93
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 4: She didn't understand.

94
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 5: Naomi was saying by that kiss, life has thrown me

95
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 5: a curve. It hasn't been fair, but I'm at peace.

96
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 5: I know God is still in control.

97
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 4: And if you're going to reach your destiny, you have

98
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 4: to learn to kiss things goodbye.

99
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 5: You're not going to understand everything that happens. People may

100
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,679
Speaker 5: walk away, life may not turn out the way you thought.

101
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 5: It's easy to get bitter, hold a grudge, lose your passion,

102
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 5: or do like Naomi. Kiss the bitterness goodbye. Kiss the

103
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 5: person that left you goodbye. Kiss the dream that didn't

104
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 5: work out goodbye. God wouldn't have allowed it to happen

105
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 5: if he didn't have something better up in.

106
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: Front of you.

107
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 5: But sometimes God will close the door. He'll move people

108
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 5: out of your life. There are people and opportunities that

109
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 5: were ordained for your past that are not ordained for

110
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 5: your future. They were right for a season, but that

111
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 5: season can come to an end. The key is how

112
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 5: we handle the closed doors, how you handle the disappointments,

113
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 5: how you handle.

114
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 4: The people that treated you wrong.

115
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 5: Sometimes instead of kissing them goodbye. We smacked them goodbye,

116
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 5: good riddance. I didn't like you in the first place.

117
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 5: Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

118
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 5: Naomi could have turned away angry, thought I'm not going

119
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 5: to kiss you, Orpah.

120
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 4: Some friends you are.

121
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 5: That would have kept her from the new things God

122
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 5: had in store. She moved back to Bethlehem with her

123
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 5: daughter in law, Ruth. Ruth married Boaz, a wealthy man

124
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 5: that owned all the land.

125
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: They had a baby. Naomi took care of their son

126
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 4: like he was her own.

127
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 5: After all, she had been through, all the broken dreams,

128
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 5: all the loss. While holding the little baby, Naomi said,

129
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 5: in effect, I never dreamed I could be this happy,

130
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 5: this fulfilled. Her latter days were better than her former days.

131
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 5: God knows how to give you beauty for ashes. He

132
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 5: knows how to turn mourning into dancing. But it would

133
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 5: have never happened if she had not hissed or goodbye.

134
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 5: Are you at peace with your past or are you

135
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 5: bitter over the loss, upset because your plans didn't work out,

136
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 5: holding a grudge because that person walked away. It's time

137
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 5: to kiss some things goodbye. Don't bring bitterness into a

138
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 5: new year. Don't bring self pity. A chip on your

139
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 5: shoulder that was in your past. It doesn't belong.

140
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 4: In the future.

141
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 5: You cannot embrace the new things God has in store as.

142
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 4: Long as you're holding on to the old.

143
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 5: My father went to be with the Lord back in

144
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 5: nineteen ninety nine, some twenty years ago, I lost one

145
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 5: of my best friends. I still miss him, but I

146
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 5: realized the loss of my father is in my past.

147
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 4: It's not in my future.

148
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 5: If I would have brought all the hurt, the questions,

149
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 5: the self pity, I wouldn't be where I am. You

150
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 5: won't have the strength to move forward if you're.

151
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 4: Weeping over what's behind.

152
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 5: It takes a lot of energy to think about the past,

153
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 5: relive the hurts, wonder why it didn't work out.

154
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: That person you lost.

155
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 5: If they were supposed to be here, they would still

156
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 5: be here. If somebody left you, I say it respectfully, you.

157
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 4: Don't need them.

158
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 5: If it didn't work out the way you had planned,

159
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 5: it wasn't supposed to. God's ways are not our ways.

160
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 5: Will you trust him when it.

161
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 4: Doesn't make sense?

162
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 5: Start kissing things goodbye. You spent enough energy on the

163
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 5: past that doesn't take you anywhere. Kiss that disappointment goodbye.

164
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 5: That door didn't close by accident. God is directing your steps.

165
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 5: It was either not the right time or because he

166
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 5: has something better.

167
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: A friend of mine owned a very successful business for years.

168
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 5: He was a leader in his field and saw all

169
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 5: kinds of growth and increase.

170
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 4: He had big dreams.

171
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 5: To leave his company to his children to continue the legacy.

172
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 5: After twenty five in years, things started to slow down.

173
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 5: The competition around him increased, so he started working harder,

174
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 5: going in earlier. I would call him and he was

175
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 5: meeting with staff at six in the morning. He was

176
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 5: determined to make it work. He did everything he possibly could.

177
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 5: But God is called the Alpha and the omega, the

178
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 5: beginning and the end. We get excited about the beginning,

179
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 5: talk a lot about God doing a new thing, but

180
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 5: we don't hear a lot about the omega the end.

181
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 5: But just as God opens doors, sometimes God will close

182
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 5: the door.

183
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 4: He'll bring things to an end.

184
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 5: And this can be hard for us because it feels

185
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 5: like a setback. And after all the hard work, my

186
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 5: friend's company didn't make it.

187
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 4: He was so discouraged.

188
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 5: For several months he would hardly talk on the phone.

189
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 5: He told me how he felt like a failure, and

190
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 5: he had all these plans, but it didn't work out

191
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 5: the way he thought.

192
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 4: I told him what I'm telling you.

193
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 5: The best thing you can do is just kiss it goodbye.

194
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 5: Don't bring a failure from yesterday into today. If one

195
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 5: dream dies, get back up and dream another dream.

196
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 4: He got his.

197
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 5: Passion back and went out and started a consulting business.

198
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: All kinds of doors begin to open.

199
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 5: Today he has more clients, more influence, more opportunities.

200
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 4: Than he's ever had.

201
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 5: His new company is many times more successful than his own.

202
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 5: When life doesn't turn out the way you thought, remind

203
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 5: yourself God is still in control, and instead of being

204
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 5: sour losing your joy, kiss the disappointment goodbye.

205
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 4: Quit reliving mistakes.

206
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 5: You've made, things that you wish you would have done different,

207
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 5: wondering why it didn't work out. Like my friend, you

208
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 5: may have done your best, given it your all, but

209
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 5: it didn't succeed. Accept it as God's plan and move on.

210
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 5: Our attitude should be God. I trust you not just

211
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 5: with my successes. I trust you with my failures. I

212
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 5: trust you with the betrayals. I trust you with.

213
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 4: The things that don't make sense. When you kiss the

214
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: past goodbye. It releases you into your future. You have

215
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 4: to be at peace with what's behind you.

216
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 5: It's not enough to just move forward, angry, bitter, madic God.

217
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 5: That's why Naomi kissed Orpah. It was symbolizing this is painful.

218
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 4: I don't like it. I feel betrayed, but I'm at peace.

219
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 5: Takes maturity to kiss things that don't feel good.

220
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 4: This is what the prophet Samuel had to do.

221
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 5: He spent years mentoring a young man named Saul. He

222
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 5: took him under his wing and he trained him to

223
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 5: become the next king of Israel. You can imagine how

224
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 5: proud Samuel was when he saw this young man, now

225
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 5: grown and leading the Israelites. Everyone looked up to King Saul.

226
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 5: He was tall and handsome, he looked like a king.

227
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 5: But over time Saul got off course.

228
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 4: He made poor decisions.

229
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 5: He eventually lost the throne. Samuel was so disappointed.

230
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: He thought, God, I put all this time and energy

231
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 4: into him.

232
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 5: I've invested my life, and it seems like it was

233
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 5: all a big waste. You would think God would say,

234
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 5: I understand Samuel, too bad it didn't work out, But

235
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 5: God didn't let him feel sorry for himself. He said Samuel,

236
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 5: how long are you going to mourn over?

237
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 4: Saul?

238
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 5: God is asking us, how long are you going to

239
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 5: mourn over what you've lost?

240
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 4: How long are you going to be.

241
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 5: Discouraged over who hurts you and what you didn't get

242
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 5: and the boss that wasn't fair. I don't believe in

243
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 5: giving people the right to feel sorry for themselves.

244
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: Not because they don't have a good reason.

245
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 5: Some people have gone through things that nobody should have

246
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 5: to go through. But I've learned if you stay in

247
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 5: self pity with a chip on your shoulder, thinking you

248
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 5: have a reason to live defeated, you will never see

249
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 5: the vindication, the restoration, the promotion, the favor that.

250
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 4: Belongs to you. God wants to pay you back for

251
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 4: what was unfair. Don't sit around in self pity.

252
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 5: Kiss the bad break goodbye, Kiss the unfair childhood, goodbye,

253
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 5: Kiss that injustice, goodbye. God told Samuel fill your horn

254
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 5: with oil. I am sending you to the house of Jesse.

255
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 5: I have chosen one of his sons as the next king.

256
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 5: God was saying Samuel, if you'll kiss this disappointment goodbye

257
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 5: and start moving forward, I'll show you the new king.

258
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 5: One of your dreams may have died. That didn't stop

259
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 5: God's plan.

260
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 4: He has another dream.

261
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 5: One relationship may not have worked out. If you'll kiss

262
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 5: goodbye the old, God will show you the new. David

263
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 5: went on to become the greatest king that ever lived.

264
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 5: When God makes up for what you lost, it's not

265
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 5: going to be less than, it's not.

266
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 4: Going to be equal. It's going to be better.

267
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 5: Just because it hasn't turned out the way you thought

268
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 5: doesn't mean you have to settle for second best. God

269
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 5: has to come up with a plan be God already

270
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 5: knew what would happen. He knew every door that would close,

271
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 5: he knew every person that would walk away. He knew

272
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 5: how you'd spend time and energy.

273
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 4: But a dream not come to pass.

274
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 5: All that is getting you prepared for where God has

275
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 5: taken you.

276
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: Now.

277
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 5: Don't get stuck mourning over Saul, disappointed over a bad break,

278
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 5: bitter because of a loss.

279
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 4: Kiss it goodbye, Move forward, and you will.

280
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 5: See your David's You will see more than you can

281
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 5: ask or think. When we were trying to buy property

282
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 5: to build a new sanctuary, twice the land we found

283
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 5: was sold out from under us. We had an appointment

284
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 5: at eight o'clock in the morning to close on the

285
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 5: first property. We showed up at seven point forty five.

286
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 5: The secretary walked out and said, I'm sorry. The owner

287
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 5: sold the property last night. I couldn't believe that he

288
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 5: didn't keep his word. I went home so disappointed, and

289
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 5: I told Victoria what happened and how we didn't have

290
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 5: the property, and how we'd never be able to build,

291
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 5: how we.

292
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 4: Were stuck, how we couldn't keep growing.

293
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 5: I had a sad song, and I thought I was convincing.

294
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 5: She looked at me and said, Joel, God is still

295
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 5: on the throne.

296
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 4: This is not a surprise to him.

297
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 5: We are going to stay in faith and believe something

298
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 5: better is coming.

299
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 4: I didn't want to hear that.

300
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 5: I wanted to feel sorry for myself. The flesh lights

301
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 5: to have a pity party. She was telling me what

302
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, kiss it, goodbye, move forward. When things

303
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 5: happened like that that you don't understand, you can be

304
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 5: sure God is up to something. He is working behind

305
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 5: the scenes. Now I came back to.

306
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 4: A place of peace.

307
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 5: I knew if God wanted us to have that property,

308
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 5: no person could have stopped us, and just the opposite.

309
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 5: If God doesn't want us to have something, all of

310
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 5: our efforts won't make it happen. He's the Alpha and

311
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 5: the Omega. He knows how to not only open doors

312
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 5: that no man can shut, he knows how to close

313
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 5: doors that no man can open.

314
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: Are you upset over a door? God closed people?

315
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 5: He moved out of your life, a dream he didn't

316
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 5: let come to pass. Yet six months later we received

317
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 5: word that the Compact Center was coming available. Right then

318
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 5: I knew why those doors closed. Buying property would have

319
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 5: been second best. That would have been keeping Saul. The

320
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 5: Compact Center is David more than we can imagine.

321
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 4: I'm asking you.

322
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 5: To be at peace with your past, Peace with things

323
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 5: you don't understand, not bitter, not angry, not with a

324
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 5: chip on your shoulder. Maybe you didn't have a good childhood.

325
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 5: Nobody was there to speak faith into you. God knew

326
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 5: how you would be raised. That's not going to keep

327
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 5: you from your destiny. It's leading you to your destiny.

328
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 5: Kiss it goodbye and move forward. You can't become who

329
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 5: you were created to be with a chip on your shoulder, thinking.

330
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 4: That you're at a disadvantage.

331
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 5: If you'll take the hand you've been dealt and make

332
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 5: the most of it.

333
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 4: God will open doors you couldn't open.

334
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 5: His favor on your life, will take you where you

335
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 5: couldn't go on your own. Why don't you kiss the

336
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 5: self pity goodbye, Kiss that condescending spirit, goodbye, kiss always

337
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 5: having to be right?

338
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 4: Goodbye.

339
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 5: Don't bring a bad attitude into a new year and sarcastic.

340
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 5: Some people can wear designer clothes, put on makeup, have

341
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 5: nice hair. They look great on the outside. The problem

342
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 5: is none of that can cover up what's on the inside.

343
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 5: If we would work half as much on the inside

344
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 5: as we do the outside, we'd be.

345
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 4: Much better off.

346
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 5: But if you don't kiss a bad attitude goodbye, the

347
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 5: problem is you'll be at the same place next year

348
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 5: as you are right now. And sometimes we're waiting for

349
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 5: God to change things. God is waiting for us.

350
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 4: To make a decision. You have to put your.

351
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 5: Foot down and say, I am not coming into a

352
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 5: new year with old thinking. I am kissing the chip

353
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 5: on my shoulder goodbye. I am kissing the guilt goodbye.

354
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 5: I'm kissing a barely get by mentality goodbye.

355
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 4: When you kiss it, this means in.

356
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,479
Speaker 5: Your mind you're putting an end to it. You're saying

357
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 5: this addiction is not going to cont told me anymore.

358
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 4: I am free.

359
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 5: Well you've made a lot of mistakes, yes, but I've

360
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 5: kissed them goodbye. I am not living in regrets, beating

361
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 5: myself up. I am forgiven, I am redeemed. I'm wearing

362
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 5: a robe of righteousness. Well, you've always been in dysfunction.

363
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 4: That's how you were raised.

364
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 5: You've always been hot tempered, you've always been angry.

365
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 4: Yes, that's how I was raised.

366
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 5: But that's not who I am. I'm kissing that goodbye.

367
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 5: I'm putting an end to what's been passed down. I'm

368
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 5: breaking the generational curse and I'm starting the generational blessing.

369
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 5: You need to announce to that dysfunction. You may have

370
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 5: been in my twenty eighteen, but I have bad news.

371
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 4: You are not in my twenty nineteen.

372
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 5: Mediocrity, depression, bitterness, anger. I'm kissing you goodbye. I won't

373
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 5: be seeing you this year. We are parting ways. Hate

374
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 5: to say it, and not going to miss you.

375
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 4: See an are going to be.

376
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 5: Kiss loneliness goodbye.

377
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 4: Father.

378
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 5: Thank you that you have somebody awesome already headed my way.

379
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 5: Thank you that the right person is chasing me down.

380
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 5: Goodbye lack, struggle, not having enough. You were in my yesterday,

381
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 5: but sorry you're not in my today. Father, Thank you

382
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 5: that I will lend and not borrow. Thank you that

383
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 5: whatever I touch will prosper and succeed. Maybe you need

384
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 5: to kiss goodbye to the way you see yourself inferior, unattractive,

385
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 5: not a good personality, not talented enough.

386
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 4: Kiss that wrong self image, goodbye.

387
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 5: Victory starts in your thinking, abundance, health, freedom, It starts

388
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 5: in our mind. You can't think the same way and

389
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 5: expect different results. Start embracing who God says you are.

390
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 5: You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are a masterpiece.

391
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 5: You have been crowned with favor. Have royal blood flowing

392
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 5: through your veins. Nobody in this world has your same fingerprints.

393
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 5: You didn't come off an assembly line. You are an original,

394
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 5: one of a kind maid in the image of Almighty God.

395
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 5: I wonder where you could be at this time next

396
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 5: year if you'd start kissing things. Goodbye, kiss the offense, goodbye.

397
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 5: Quit letting people hurt your feelings, Quit letting what they

398
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 5: say ruin your day.

399
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 4: Tune it out.

400
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 5: They have a right to say what they want. You

401
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 5: have a right to ignore it. You shouldn't let that

402
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 5: get down in your spirit. Well, Joe, I'm praying that

403
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 5: these people at work will quit talking about me. I

404
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 5: don't want to discourage you, but they may never quit

405
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 5: talking about you. They are jealous of the favor and

406
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 5: blessing on your life. Take it as a compliment. They

407
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 5: don't talk about average people. They talk about exceptional people.

408
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 4: They don't talk about.

409
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 5: People that aren't doing anything. They talk about people that

410
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 5: are taking new ground, people that are making a difference,

411
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 5: people that stand out. It's a test God is seeing

412
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 5: if you're ready to go to the next level. Are

413
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 5: you going to get upset start thinking about how you're

414
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 5: going to pay them back, or are you going to

415
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 5: kiss it goodbye and keep running your race, enjoying your life.

416
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 5: Those adversaries are getting you prepared for your destiny. Where

417
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 5: you're going, there will be opposition, critics.

418
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 4: People trying to pull you down.

419
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 5: The good news is no weapon formed against you will prosper.

420
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 4: They cannot stop you.

421
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 5: The forces that are for you are greater than the

422
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 5: forces that are against you. Stay on the high road

423
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 5: and stay focused on what God has put in your heart.

424
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 5: You don't have time to get distracted by all the

425
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 5: negative chatter. What people think about you is none of

426
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 5: your business. Saying shouldn't concern you. There'll always be somebody that.

427
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 4: Doesn't like you. Kiss it goodbye and keep moving forward.

428
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 5: Now, there may be some relationships you need to kiss goodbye.

429
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 5: And I'm not talking about your husband or your wife.

430
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 5: Somebody just thought they got their word.

431
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 4: For twenty nineteen.

432
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 5: Your time is too valuable to spend it with peace stealers,

433
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 5: people that try to get you all riled up, or

434
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 5: with dream killers, people that tell you what you can't become,

435
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 5: or with compromisers, people that cause you to give in

436
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 5: to temptation. Joel, I've had this friend a long time.

437
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 4: If I don't hang out with them, they may get upset.

438
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 5: What you're unwilling to walk away from is where you'll

439
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 5: get stuck. If you don't kiss the wrong people goodbye,

440
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 5: you'll never meet the right people. And if someone is

441
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 5: not adding value to your life, making you better, pushing

442
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 5: you toward your destiny, you need to make a change.

443
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 4: And sometimes it's just a new season.

444
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 5: The friends you had five years ago may not be

445
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 5: the friends you need now. Everybody can't go where you're going.

446
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 5: It doesn't mean they're not good people. You've just outgrown them.

447
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 5: You're going at a faster pace. If you continue hanging

448
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 5: around them, it will limit your growth. You need to

449
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 5: gradually spend less and less time with them. Naomi's daughter

450
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 5: in law, Orpa, she was a good person. Naomi loved her.

451
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 5: They had spent years together. But Naomi recognized ORPA's part

452
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 5: in her story was over.

453
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 4: She didn't try to talk her into stay.

454
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 5: If someone is supposed to be in your life, you

455
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 5: can't make them leave. And if someone leaves easily, they're

456
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 5: not supposed to be there.

457
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 4: Quit trying to.

458
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 5: Talk people into staye You don't have to.

459
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 4: Convince anyone to love you, to.

460
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 5: Call you, to come see you. You are a gift,

461
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 5: a prize, You have something amazing to offer. If they

462
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 5: don't want to be there, that's a sure sign they're

463
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 5: not supposed to be there. God has people already ordained

464
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 5: that you can't make leave people that want to celebrate you,

465
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 5: people that love spending time with you. If somebody wants

466
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 5: to leave, let them leave.

467
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 4: Your destiny is.

468
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 5: Not tied to the people that walked away. Be respectful,

469
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 5: but kiss the orpahs goodbye. God told Abraham to leave

470
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 5: his relatives and move to a different city. I'm sure

471
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 5: he loved his relatives. For a season, everything was fine.

472
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 5: But when God was about to promote Abraham and do

473
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 5: something big in his life, he knew his relatives and

474
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 5: the people where he lived wouldn't.

475
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 4: Be able to handle it.

476
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 5: The people closest to you may not see the greatness

477
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 5: in you. When they're familiar, they can dismiss you as

478
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 5: just being ordinary. Sometimes you have to kiss people goodbye

479
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 5: so you can become all you were created to be.

480
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 5: This is what my father had to do at seventeen.

481
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 5: He knew he had more in him, but his parents

482
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 5: told him to just stay on the farm and pick

483
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 5: cotton with them the rest of his life.

484
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 4: And they loved my father. They were trying to protect him,

485
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 4: but they couldn't.

486
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 5: See his seeds of greatness. They didn't see a man

487
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 5: that would touch nations. They just saw their son, nothing special,

488
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 5: He just one of us. My father very respectfully kissed

489
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 5: them goodbye and went out and started ministering.

490
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 4: God opened amazing doors, and he went on to leave

491
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 4: his mark.

492
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 5: Don't let people talk you out of what God put

493
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 5: in your heart. When you come to the end of life,

494
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,479
Speaker 5: you're not going to have to stand before people and

495
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 5: give an account.

496
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 4: You're going to stand before God.

497
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 5: And I would rather disappoint people than disappoint God.

498
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 4: I would rather hurt a few feelings. I miss my destiny.

499
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 4: Is there something you need to kiss goodbye?

500
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 5: A hurt, a bad attitude, an area that you're compromising in.

501
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 5: Don't bring it into a new year. That's in your past.

502
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 5: Does it belong in your future? The Apostle Paul said,

503
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 5: forgetting what lies behind, I press to the high calling.

504
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,959
Speaker 5: If there's a high calling, that means there's a low calling.

505
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 5: You can go through life holding onto hurts, wrong attitudes

506
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 5: with people that are not good for you, but that

507
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 5: will keep you from new levels, from the high calling

508
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 5: that belongs to you. It's time to start kissing things goodbye.

509
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 5: Kiss that failure goodbye.

510
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 4: This is a new day.

511
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 5: Kiss guilt goodbye, you've been forgiven. Kiss the bad break goodbye.

512
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 4: God has something better.

513
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 5: If you'll do this, I believe and declare, you're about

514
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 5: to come into the high calling.

515
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 4: New doors are going to open, new.

516
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 5: Relationships, favor, healing, breakthroughs, the fullness of your destiny. In Jesus' name,

517
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 5: and if you receive it, can you save men?

518
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 4: Today? I'd like to give you.

519
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 5: An opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life.

520
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 4: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I

521
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 4: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make

522
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 4: you my Lord and savior.

523
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 5: Friends, if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you

524
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,280

525
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,199
