He was driving down the freeway 57 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 5: in his brand new Corvette with the top down, going 58 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 5: eighty miles an hour, when he saw flashing red lights 59 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 5: in his rear view mirror from a state trooper. Without 60 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 5: thinking about it, he floored it took it up to 61 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 5: one hundred miles an hour. He heard the sirens behind him, 62 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 5: finally came to his senses and pulled over. He said, officer, 63 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 5: I am so sorry. 64 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 4: I don't know what I was thinking. 65 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 5: The trooper said, listen, it's Friday, four o'clock. My shift 66 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 5: is over in thirty minutes. If you tell me a 67 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 5: reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, 68 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 5: I'll let you go. The man thought about it, said officer. 69 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 5: Years ago, my wife ran off with a state trooper, 70 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 5: and I thought you were bringing her back. The officer said, 71 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 5: have a great weekend. Say it like you mean it. 72 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 73 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 74 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 75 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 76 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 77 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 78 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 5: to talk to you today about kiss it Goodbye. 79 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 4: There's a lady in the scripture named Naomi. 80 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 5: She left Bethlehem with her husband and two sons because 81 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 5: of a famine. They moved to the city of Moab. 82 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 5: They had plenty of food. Life was good until her 83 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 5: husband unexpectedly died. She never dreamed she'd be a widow. 84 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 4: Years later, both of her grown sons passed away. She 85 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 4: was so discouraged she decided to move back home to Bethlehem. 86 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 5: She told her two daughters in law, Ruth and Orpah, 87 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 5: that they should move back to their hometowns as well 88 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 5: and start a new life. 89 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 4: Ruth said, no, Naomi, I'm staying with you. 90 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 5: I'm going to Bethlahem to help take care of you. 91 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 5: The other daughter in law, Orpah took her advice and 92 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 5: said she was going to leave and move back home. 93 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 5: You would think Naomi would have been a little sour 94 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 5: and thought, after all I've done for you, Orpah, you're 95 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 5: going to leave me now. 96 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 4: At my lowest moment. 97 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 5: You can go get remarried, you can find another job. 98 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 5: I'm an old lady who's going to take care of me. 99 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 5: She could have felt betrayed insulted. Instead, the scripture says 100 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 5: Naomi kissed Orpah goodbye. Orpah represented the broken dreams, the hurts, 101 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 5: the disappointments, the things she didn't understand. Naomi was saying 102 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 5: by that kiss, life has thrown me a curve. It 103 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 5: hasn't been fair, but I'm at peace. 104 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 4: I know God is still in control. 105 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 5: And if you're going to reach your destiny, you have 106 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 5: to learn to kiss things goodbye. You're not going to 107 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 5: understand everything that happens. People may walk away, life may 108 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 5: not turn out the way you thought. It's easy to 109 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 5: get bitter, hold a grudge, lose your passion, or do 110 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 5: like Naomi. 111 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 4: Kiss the bitterness goodbye, Kiss the person. 112 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 5: That left you goodbye, Kiss the dream that didn't work 113 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 5: out goodbye. God wouldn't have allowed it to happen if 114 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 5: he didn't have something better up. 115 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 4: In front of you. 116 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 5: But sometimes God will close the door. He'll move people 117 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 5: out of your life. There are people and opportunities that 118 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 5: were ordained for your past that are not ordained for 119 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 5: your future. They were right for aus season, but that 120 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 5: season can come to an end. The key is how 121 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,239 Speaker 5: we handle the closed doors, how you handle the disappointments, 122 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 5: how you handle. 123 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 4: The people that treated you wrong. 124 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 5: Sometimes instead of kissing them goodbye, we smacked them goodbye, 125 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 5: good riddance. 126 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 4: I didn't like you in. 127 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 5: The first place. Don't let the door hit you on 128 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 5: the way out. Naomi could have turned away. 129 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 4: Angry, thought I'm not going to kiss you, Orpah. Some 130 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 4: friends you are. 131 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 5: That would have kept her from the new things God 132 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 5: had in store. She moved back to Bethlehem with her 133 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 5: daughter in law, Ruth. 134 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 4: Ruth married Boaz, a wealthy man that owned all the land. 135 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 4: They had a baby. Naomi took care of their son 136 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 4: like he was her own. 137 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 5: After all, she had been through, all the broken dreams, 138 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 5: all the loss. 139 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 4: While holding the little. 140 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 5: Baby, Naomi said, in effect, I never dreamed I could 141 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 5: be this happy, this fulfilled. Her latter days were better 142 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 5: than her former days. God knows how to give you 143 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 5: beauty for ashes. He knows how to turn mourning into dancing. 144 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 5: But it would have never happened if she had. 145 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 4: Not kissed or pa goodbye. 146 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 5: Are you at peace with your past or are you 147 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 5: bitter over the loss, upset because your plans didn't work out, 148 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 5: holding a grudge because that person walked away. It's time 149 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 5: to kiss some things goodbye. Don't bring bitterness into a 150 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 5: new year. Don't bring self pity. A chip on your 151 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 5: shoulder that was in your past. It doesn't belong in 152 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 5: the future. You cannot embrace the new things God has 153 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 5: in store as long as you're holding on to the old. 154 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 5: My father went to be with the Lord back in 155 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 5: nineteen ninety nine, some twenty years ago, I lost one 156 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 5: of my best friends. I still miss him, but I 157 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 5: realized the loss of my father is in my past, 158 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 5: it's not in my future. If I would have brought 159 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 5: all the hurt, the questions, the self pity, I wouldn't 160 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 5: be where I am. You won't have the strength to 161 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 5: move forward if you're weeping over what's behind. Takes a 162 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 5: lot of energy to think about the past, relive the hurts, 163 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 5: Wonder why it didn't work out. That person you lost, 164 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,559 Speaker 5: If they were supposed to be here, they would still 165 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 5: be here. If somebody left you, I say it respectfully, 166 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 5: you don't need them. If it didn't work out the 167 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 5: way you had planned, it wasn't supposed to. God's ways 168 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 5: are not our ways. Will you trust him when it 169 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 5: doesn't make sense? Start kissing things goodbye. You spend enough 170 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 5: energy on the past that doesn't take you anywhere. Kiss 171 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 5: that disappointment goodbye. That door didn't close by accident. God 172 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 5: is directing your steps. It was either not the right 173 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 5: time or because he has something better. 174 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 4: A friend of mine owned a very successful business. For years. 175 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 5: He was a leader in his field and saw all 176 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 5: kinds of growth and increase. He had big dreams to 177 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 5: leave his company to his children to continue the legacy. 178 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 5: After twenty five years, things started to slow down. The 179 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 5: competition around him increased, so he started working harder, going 180 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 5: in earlier. 181 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 4: I would call. 182 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 5: Him and he was meeting with staff at six in 183 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 5: the morning. He was determined to make it work. He 184 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 5: did everything he possibly could. But God is called the 185 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 5: alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. We 186 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 5: get excited about the beginning, talk a lot about God 187 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 5: doing a new thing, but we don't hear a lot 188 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 5: about the omega the end. But just as God opens doors, 189 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 5: sometimes God will close the door. 190 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 4: He'll bring things to an end. 191 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 5: And this can be hard for us because it feels 192 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 5: like a setback. 193 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 4: And after all the hard work, my friend's company didn't 194 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 4: make it. 195 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,599 Speaker 5: He was so discos w is for several months he 196 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 5: would hardly talk on the phone. 197 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 4: He told me how he felt like a failure. 198 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 5: He had all these plans, but it didn't work out 199 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 5: the way he thought. 200 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 4: Now I told him what I'm telling you. 201 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 5: The best thing you can do is just kiss it goodbye. 202 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 5: Don't bring a failure from yesterday into today. If one 203 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 5: dream dies, get back up and dream another dream. He 204 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 5: got his passion back and went out and started a 205 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 5: consulting business. 206 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 4: All kinds of doors begin to open. 207 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 5: Today he has more clients, more influence, more opportunities than. 208 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 4: He's ever had. 209 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 5: His new company is many times more successful than his own. 210 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 5: When life doesn't turn out the way you thought, remind 211 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 5: yourself God is still in control, and instead of being 212 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 5: sour losing your joy, kiss the disappointment goodbye. 213 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 4: Quit reliving mistakes. 214 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 5: You've made things that you wish you have done different, 215 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 5: wondering why it didn't work out. Like my friend, you 216 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 5: may have done your best, given it your all, but 217 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 5: it didn't succeed. Accept it as God's plan and move on. 218 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 5: Our attitude should be God. I trust you, not just 219 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 5: with my successes. I trust you with my failures. I 220 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 5: trust you with the betrayals. I trust you with. 221 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 4: The things that don't make sense. 222 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 5: When you kiss the past goodbye, it releases you into 223 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 5: your future. 224 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 4: You have to be at peace with what's behind you. 225 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 5: It's not enough to just move forward angry, bitter, madic God. 226 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 5: That's why Naomi kissed Orpa. It was symbolizing this is painful. 227 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 4: I don't like it. I feel betrayed, but I'm at peace. 228 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 5: Tastes maturity to kiss things that don't feel good. This 229 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 5: is what the prophet Samuel had to do. He spent 230 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 5: years mentoring a young man named Saul. He took him 231 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 5: under his wing, and he trained him to become the 232 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 5: next king of Israel. You can imagine how proud Samuel 233 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 5: was when he saw this young man, now grown and 234 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 5: leading the Israelites. Everyone looked up to King Saul. He 235 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 5: was tall and handsome, he looked like a king. But 236 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 5: over time Saul got off course. 237 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 4: He made poor decisions. 238 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 5: He eventually lost the throne. Samuel was so disappointed. He thought, God, 239 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 5: I put all this time and energy into him. I've 240 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 5: invested my life, and it seems like it was all 241 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 5: a big waste. You would think God would say, I 242 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 5: understand Samuel, too bad it didn't work out. But God 243 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 5: didn't let him feel sorry for himself. He said, Samuel, 244 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 5: how long are you going to mourn over Saul? God 245 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 5: is asking us, how long are you going to mourn 246 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 5: over what you've lost? How long are you going to 247 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 5: be discouraged over who hurts you and what you didn't get? 248 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 4: The boss? That wasn't fair. 249 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 5: I don't believe in giving people the right to feel 250 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 5: sorry for themselves, not because they don't have a good reason. 251 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 5: Some people have gone through things that nobody should. 252 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 4: Have to go through. 253 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 5: But I've learned if you stay in self pity, with 254 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 5: a chip on your shoulder, thinking you have a reason 255 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 5: to live defeated, you will never see the vindication, the restoration, 256 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 5: the promotion, the favor that belongs to you. 257 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 4: God wants to pay you back for what was unfair. 258 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 4: Don't sit around in self pity. 259 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 5: Kiss the bad break goodbye, Kiss the unfair childhood goodbye, 260 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 5: Kiss that injustice goodbye. God told Samuel fill your horn 261 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 5: with oil. I am sending you to the house of Jesse. 262 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 5: I have chosen one of his sons as the next king. 263 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 5: God was saying, Samuel, if you'll kiss this disappointment goodbye 264 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 5: and start moving forward, I'll show you the new king. 265 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 5: One of your dreams may have died. That didn't stop 266 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 5: God's plan. 267 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 4: He has another dream. 268 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 5: One relationship may not have worked out. If you'll kiss 269 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 5: goodbye the old, God will show you the new. David 270 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 5: went on to become the greatest king that ever lived. 271 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 5: When God makes up for what you lost, it's not 272 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 5: going to be less than. 273 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 4: It's not going to be equal. It's going to be better. 274 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 5: Just because it hasn't turned out the way you thought 275 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 5: doesn't mean you have to settle for second best. God 276 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 5: has to come up with a plan be God already 277 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 5: knew what would happen. He knew every door that would close, 278 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 5: he knew every person that would walk away. He knew 279 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 5: how you'd spend time and energy, but a dream not 280 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 5: come to pass. All that is getting you prepared for 281 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 5: where God has taken you. Now, don't get stuck mourning 282 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 5: over Saul, disappointed over a bad break, bitter because of 283 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 5: a loss, Kiss it goodbye, Move forward. 284 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 4: And you will see your David. You will see more 285 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 4: than you can ask or think. 286 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 5: When we were trying to buy property to build a 287 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 5: new sanctuary, twice the land we found was sold out 288 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 5: from under us. We had an appointment at eight o'clock 289 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 5: in the morning to close on the first property. 290 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 4: We showed up at seven forty five. 291 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 5: The secretary walked out and said, I'm sorry, the owner 292 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 5: sold the property last night. 293 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 4: I couldn't believe that he didn't keep his word. 294 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 5: I went home so disappointed, and I told Victoria what happened, 295 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 5: and how we didn't have the property, and how we'd 296 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 5: never be able to build, how we were stuck, how 297 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 5: we couldn't keep growing. I had a sad song, and 298 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 5: I thought I was convincing. She looked at me and said, Joel, 299 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 5: God is still on the throne. 300 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 4: This is not a surprise to him. 301 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 5: We are going to stay in faith and believe something 302 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 5: better is coming. 303 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 4: I didn't want to hear that. I wanted to feel 304 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 4: sorry for myself. 305 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 5: The flesh lights to have a pity party. 306 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 4: She was telling me what I'm telling you. You kiss it, goodbye, 307 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 4: move forward. 308 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 5: When things happen like that that you don't understand, you 309 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 5: can be sure God is up to something. 310 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 4: He is working behind the scenes. Now I came back 311 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 4: to a place of peace. 312 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 5: I knew if God wanted us to have that property, 313 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 5: no person could have stopped us. And just the opposite, 314 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 5: if God doesn't want us to have something, all of 315 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 5: our efforts. 316 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 4: Won't make it happen. He's the Alpha and the Omega. 317 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 5: He knows how to not only open doors that no 318 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 5: man can shut, he knows how to close doors that 319 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 5: no man can open. Are you upset over a door? 320 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 5: God closed people? He moved out of your life. A 321 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 5: dream he didn't let come to pass. 322 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 4: Yet. 323 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 5: Six months later, we received word that the Compact Center 324 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 5: was coming available. Right then I knew why those doors closed. 325 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 5: Buying property would have been second best. That would have 326 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 5: been keeping sauld. The Compact Center is David more than 327 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 5: we can imagine. I'm asking you to be at peace 328 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 5: with your past, peace with things you don't understand, not bitter, 329 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 5: not angry, not with a chip on your shoulder. Maybe 330 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 5: you didn't have a good childhood. Nobody was there to 331 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 5: speak faith into you. God knew how you would be raised. 332 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 5: That's not going to keep you from your destiny. It's 333 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 5: leading you to your destiny. Kiss it goodbye and move forward. 334 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 5: You can't become who you were created to be with 335 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 5: a chip on your shoulder thinking that you're at a disadvantage. 336 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 5: If you'll take the hand you've been dealt and make 337 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 5: the most of it, God will open doors you couldn't open. 338 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 5: His favor on your life, will take you where you 339 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 5: couldn't go. 340 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 4: On your own. 341 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 5: Why don't you kiss the self pity goodbye, Kiss that 342 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 5: condescending spirit goodbye.

I don't want to discourage you, 414 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 5: but they may never quit talking about you. They are 415 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 5: jealous of the favor and blessing on your life. Take 416 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 5: it as a compliment. They don't talk about average people. 417 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 5: They talk about exceptional people. They don't talk about people 418 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 5: that aren't doing anything. They talk about people that are 419 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 5: taking new ground, people that are making a difference, people 420 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 5: that stand out.

You don't have time 433 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 5: to get distracted by all the negative chatter. What people 434 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 5: think about you is none of your business. What they're 435 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 5: saying shouldn't concern you. They'll always be somebody that doesn't 436 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 5: like you. 437 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 4: Kiss it goodbye and keep moving forward. 438 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 5: Now, there may be some relationships you need to kiss goodbye. 439 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 5: I'm not talking about your husband or your wife. Somebody 440 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 5: just thought they got their word for twenty nineteen. 441 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 4: Your time is. 442 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,239 Speaker 5: Too valuable to spend it with peace stealers, people that 443 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 5: try to get you all riled up, or with dream killers, 444 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 5: people that tell you what you can't become, or with compromisers, 445 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 5: people that cause you to give in to temptation. Joel, 446 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 5: I've had this friend a long time. If I don't 447 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 5: hang out with them, they may get upset. What you're 448 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 5: unwilling to walk away from is where you'll get stuck. 449 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 5: If you don't kiss the wrong people goodbye, you'll never 450 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 5: meet the right people. And if someone is not adding 451 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 5: value to your life, making you better, pushing you toward 452 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 5: your destiny, you need to. 453 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 4: Make a change. And sometimes it's just a new season. 454 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 5: The friends you had five years years ago may not 455 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 5: be the friends you need now. Everybody can't go where 456 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 5: you're going. It doesn't mean they're not good people. You've 457 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 5: just outgrown them. You're going at a faster pace. If 458 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 5: you continue hanging around them, it will limit your growth. 459 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 5: You need to gradually spend less and less time with them. 460 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 5: Naomi's daughter in law, Orpa, she was a good person. 461 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 5: Naomi loved her. They had spent years together. But Naomi 462 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 5: recognized ORPA's part in her story was over. 463 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 4: She didn't try to talk her into stay. 464 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 5: If someone is supposed to be in your life. 465 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 4: You can't make them leave. 466 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 5: And if someone leaves easily, they're not supposed to be there. 467 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 5: Quit trying to talk people into staying. You don't have 468 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 5: to convince anyone to love you, to call you, to 469 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 5: come see you. 470 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 4: You are a gift, You are a prize. You have 471 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 4: something amazing to offer. 472 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 5: If they don't want to be there, it's a sure 473 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 5: sign they're not supposed to be there. God has people 474 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 5: already ordained that you can't make leave people that want 475 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 5: to celebrate you, people that love spending time with you. 476 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 5: If somebody wants to leave, let them leave. Your destiny 477 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 5: is not tied to the people that walked away. Be respectful, 478 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 5: but kiss the orphers goodbye. God told Abraham to leave 479 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 5: his relatives and move to a different city. 480 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 4: I'm sure he loved his relatives. 481 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 5: For a season, everything was fine, But when God was 482 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 5: about to promote Abraham and do something big in his life, 483 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 5: he knew his relatives and the people where he lived 484 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 5: wouldn't be able to handle it. 485 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 4: The people closest to you may not see the greatness 486 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 4: in you. When they're familiar. 487 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 5: They can dismiss you as just being ordinary. And sometimes 488 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 5: you have to kiss people goodbye so you can become 489 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 5: all you were created to be. This is what my 490 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 5: father had to do. At seventeen. He knew he had 491 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 5: more in him, but his parents told him to just 492 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 5: stay on the farm and pick cotton with them the 493 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 5: rest of his life. And they loved my father. They 494 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 5: were trying to protect him, but they couldn't see his 495 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 5: seeds of greatness. They didn't see a man that would 496 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 5: touch nations. They just saw their son, nothing special, He 497 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 5: just one of us. My father very respectfully kissed them 498 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:32,199 Speaker 5: goodbye and went out and started ministering. God opened amazing doors, 499 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 5: and he went on to leave his mark. Don't let 500 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 5: people talk you out of what God put in your heart. 501 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,479 Speaker 5: When you come to the end of life, you're not 502 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 5: going to have to stand before people and give an account. 503 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 4: You're going to stand before God. 504 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 5: And I would rather disappoint people than disappoint God. I 505 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 5: would rather hurt a few feelings than to miss my destiny. 506 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 5: Is there something you need to kiss goodbye? A hurt, 507 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 5: a bad attitude, an area that you're compromising in. Don't 508 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 5: bring it into a new year.
