I'd like 37 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 5: to start with something funny and I heard about this 38 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 5: group of school children. They were in the cafeteria line 39 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 5: at their Catholic elementary school. The start of the line, 40 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 5: there was a big bowl of apples. A nun had 41 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 5: written a note that said, take only one. God is watching. 42 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 5: At the end of the line there was a big 43 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 5: bowl of chocolate chip cookies. One of the children had 44 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 5: written a note that said take all you want. God 45 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 5: is watching the apples. Say it like you mean it. 46 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 5: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 47 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 48 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 49 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 5: talked the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 50 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 51 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 52 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 5: to talk to you today about feeding your destiny. We 53 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 5: may not realize it, but we're always feeding ourselves what 54 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 5: we watch. Listen to the people we're around, the thoughts 55 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 5: we're dwelling on. That's feeding our inner man. If you 56 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 5: go to lunch with people that talk bad about the boss, 57 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 5: make fun of a coworker, put down a friend, they're 58 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 5: feeding you gossip, feeding you jealousy, feeding you disrespect. Here's 59 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 5: the key. Whatever you feed is going to grow. You 60 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 5: may not like what they're feeding you. You're a nice person, 61 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 5: but if you continue to hang around them, before long, 62 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 5: you'll be gossiping. You'll be critical, you'll be disrespectful. Why 63 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 5: because you kept feeding the wrong things. If you're always 64 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 5: feeding negative thoughts, thinking, I'll never get well, I'll never 65 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 5: meet the right person. You're feeding doubt, feeding mediocrity, feeding fear. 66 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 5: A man told me how he spent years of his 67 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 5: life on drugs and alcohol, and it had ruined his 68 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 5: marriage and he wasn't there for his children. Now, he 69 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 5: was so down on himself, so discouraged. What was he 70 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 5: doing feeding the guilt, feeding the regret, feeding the blame. 71 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 5: If you feed guilt, it's going to get bigger. If 72 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 5: you feed fear, it's going to become larger. What if 73 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 5: you spent that same energy feeding your faith, feeding your hopes, 74 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 5: feeding your dreams. Yes, I've made mistakes, but Father, thank 75 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 5: you that your mercy is bigger than any mistake. Thank 76 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 5: you that I am forgiven. Quit feeding the negative and 77 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 5: start feeding your faith. What are you allowing in your spirit? 78 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 5: The people you're spending time with, the thoughts you're dwelling 79 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 5: on all day? Is that inspiring you, building your faith, 80 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 5: pushing you towards your dreams? Or is it junk food 81 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 5: feeding you guilt, mediocrity, negativity causing you to compromise. A 82 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 5: friend of mine was diagnosed with a serious illness. The 83 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 5: doctor put him on a very strict diet. He couldn't 84 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 5: need any sugar, any flour, any meat. It was only 85 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 5: raw vegetables, nuts, grains, very limited. Now I ask him 86 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 5: if he was going to do it. He said, what 87 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 5: do you mean, Am I going to do it? I 88 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 5: don't have a choice. My life depends on it. Today, 89 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 5: I'm putting you on a new diet, not physically, but 90 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 5: for your inner man. No more junk food, No more 91 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 5: dwelling on thoughts of worry, fear. I don't have what 92 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 5: it takes. No more hanging around people that are feeding 93 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 5: you negativity, causing you to compromise. No more guilt, condemnation. 94 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 5: I'm all washed up. Your prescription is for faith. Food 95 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,239 Speaker 5: feed your hopes, feed your dreams, feed your confidence, feed 96 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 5: your destiny. Well, Joel, I'm not that talented, and I 97 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 5: don't have a good personality. I'm not as attractive as 98 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 5: my friend. Quit feeding the insecurity. That's not on your diet. 99 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 5: Your diet is what God says about you. I am 100 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 5: fearfully and wonderfully made. I am one of a kind, 101 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 5: a masterpiece made in the image of God. When you 102 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 5: feed your value, your value will get strong. If you're 103 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 5: dealing with an illness, I don't think I'll get well 104 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 5: I've had it so long. The medical report doesn't look good. 105 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 5: You're feeding the wrong things. That's allowing the sickness to grow. 106 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 5: Turn it around, father, Thank you that you're restoring health 107 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 5: back into me. Thank you that the number of my 108 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 5: days you will fulfill. You feed your faith like that. 109 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 5: What's happening is the doubt is getting weaker and weaker. 110 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 5: Before long, you'll starve the doubt. I have some flowers 111 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 5: in my backyard, and one summer it was very dry 112 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 5: and of course very hot here in Houston, and the 113 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 5: sprinkler system couldn't keep up. So every afternoon I'd go 114 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 5: out and water those flowers with my hose. About forty 115 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,119 Speaker 5: feet away, over in the corner there were a bunch 116 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 5: of weeds a couple feet tall. Now I noticed a 117 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 5: few weeks later, all those weeds had died off. They 118 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 5: didn't have any water. My flowers were just as beautiful 119 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 5: as can be. What you don't feed will eventually die. 120 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 5: You may have some weeds in your life today. We 121 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 5: all do. Weeds of guilt, weeds of negativity. Don't be 122 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 5: alarmed by the weeds. Just don't make the mistake of 123 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 5: watering the weeds. Don't give them any energy. Don't let 124 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 5: them take up any space in your mind. What you 125 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 5: quit watering will eventually go away. If you came over 126 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 5: to my backyard and saw me out there watering the weeds, 127 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 5: you would think, what is wrong with that man? That 128 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 5: doesn't make sense. He's watering something he doesn't want. Are 129 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 5: you watering what you don't want? The enemy's main tool 130 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 5: is deception. He would love for you to go through 131 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 5: life watering the weeds, spending your energy, dwelling on fear, doubt, insecurity, 132 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 5: mistakes of the past. Don't fall into that trap when 133 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 5: thoughts tell you nothing good is in your future. It's 134 00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 5: all downhill from here. Instead of watering that weed, feeding 135 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 5: the discouragement, turn the hose the other way. Water what 136 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,239 Speaker 5: God says about you. Father, Thank you that the path 137 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 5: of the righteous, my path gets brighter and brighter. Thank 138 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 5: you that you've surrounded me with your favor when you're 139 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 5: in a tough time. Instead of feeding the doubt, I'm 140 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 5: stuck here, nothing's ever going to change. Feed your faith. 141 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 5: I'm coming out. God always causes me to tryumph, This 142 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 5: too shall pass. Whatever you're feeding is getting stronger. Don't 143 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 5: feed what you don't want. Maybe you've had bad breaks 144 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 5: in life and things haven't turned out the way you 145 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 5: had hoped. You could easily be discouraged. Don't feed the 146 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 5: self pity, don't water what didn't work out. Quit reliving 147 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 5: the hurts. You can't feed your history and feed your 148 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 5: destiny at the same time. If you're using all your 149 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 5: energy to feed your past, you're not going to have 150 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 5: the energy you need to feed your future. What's happened 151 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 5: to you is over and done. How you were raised, 152 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 5: what you didn't get, who hurt you, who you lost. 153 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 5: I say it respectfully. That's history that's behind you. You 154 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 5: cannot go into a new season. If you're always looking 155 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 5: back at the old. Those doors are closed. It may 156 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 5: not have been fair, but God is fair. He knows 157 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 5: how to make it up to you. But you have 158 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 5: to let go of what didn't work out. Quit putting 159 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 5: energy into negative things of the past. If you're feeding 160 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 5: the hurts, feeding the offense, feeding the betrayal, it's just 161 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 5: like your watering resentment, watering bitterness, watering discouragement. The way 162 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 5: to get past it is you have to starve it. 163 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 5: Quit dwelling on it. Quit thinking about what you didn't get, 164 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 5: who hurt you. How you can prove to them that 165 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 5: they shouldn't have left you. If you will put that 166 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 5: same energy into your destiny, believing for new beginnings, expecting 167 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 5: God's favor, then God will give you beauty for those ashes. 168 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 5: God will make up for the wrongs. You don't have 169 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 5: to pay anybody back. God will be your vindicator. But 170 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 5: we all go through things in life that are not fair. 171 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 5: The scripture says offenses will come, betrayals will come, bad breaks, loss, 172 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 5: things we don't understand. It's painful enough when they happen. 173 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 5: But if you make the mistake of feeding the fear, 174 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 5: feeding the offense, feeding the hurt, then it's going to 175 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 5: continue to be painful. You cannot get well if you're 176 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 5: always reopening the wounds, reliving the negative. That's making it worse. 177 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 5: And yes, it can feel good to our flesh to 178 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 5: hold on to hurt, hold on to self pity. You 179 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 5: may have a valid reason to feel that way. Somebody 180 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 5: did you wrong, he came down with an illness, the 181 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 5: company laid you off. But when you're feeding the past, 182 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 5: you are putting energy into something that's taken you backwards. 183 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 5: It's tempting to hold on sometimes you wake up. It's 184 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 5: on the forefront of your mind. You have to ask yourself, 185 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 5: am I going to keep watering these weeds? Am I 186 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 5: going to keep putting energy into something that's taken me 187 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 5: the wrong direction? In the scripture, the prophet Samuel went 188 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 5: through a great disappointment. He had chosen a young man 189 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 5: named Saul to be the next king of Israel. He 190 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 5: took Saul under his wing like he was his own son, 191 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 5: and trained him and mentored him, and Saul did well 192 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 5: as a king for a few years. Then he got 193 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 5: off course, made mistakes he wouldn't obey. Finally, God rejected 194 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 5: Saul as the king. He lost the throne, and Samuel 195 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 5: was so discouraged. He had invested years of his life 196 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 5: trying to help Saul. Now it looked like it was 197 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 5: a waste of time. As Samuel was sitting around heartbroken, 198 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 5: feeding the self pity, feeding the discouragement, God said to him, Samuel, 199 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 5: how long are you going to mourn over Saul? He 200 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 5: was saying, how long are you going to feed your history? 201 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 5: How long are you going to put energy into something 202 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 5: that's taking you the wrong direction? And yes, there's a 203 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 5: season of mourning when you go through a loss, a disappointment. 204 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 5: You don't have to be superhuman where you never feel anything, 205 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 5: you never have a down moment. But you can't let 206 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 5: a season of mourning turn into a lifetime of mourning. 207 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 5: At some point you have to say, yes, I'm disappointed. 208 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 5: Yes I'm hurt. A prayer didn't get answered the way 209 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 5: i'd hope. But this is a new day. I'm not 210 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 5: feeding my history anymore. I'm letting go of what didn't 211 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 5: work out. I'm not dwelling on much disappointments. I'm not 212 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 5: reliving my hurts. I'm putting my energy into my destiny. 213 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 5: I'm getting ready for the new things God has in store. 214 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 5: God went on to tell Samuel, fill your horn with 215 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 5: oil and be on your way. I'm sending you to 216 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 5: the house of Jesse. I have chosen one of his 217 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 5: sons to be the king. If you'll quit looking backwards, 218 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 5: quit mourning over what didn't work out, God is going 219 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 5: to send you to the house of Jesse. He has 220 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 5: a new beginning, a new relationship, a new dream. Just 221 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 5: because Saul didn't work out doesn't mean that it's over. 222 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 5: God has a David. He has another plan, not something secondary. 223 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 5: This is all that I have too bad. Just take this. 224 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 5: David was the greatest king that ever lived. You may 225 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 5: have gone through an unfair situation, something that took the 226 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 5: wind out of you. It wasn't a surprise to God. 227 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 5: He knew every setback, every disappointment. He has a David 228 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 5: already lined up for you. Your greatest joy, your greatest victories, 229 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 5: your greatest accomplishments are still in your future. But suppose 230 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 5: Samuel would have continued morning, putting energy into his past, 231 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 5: feeding that disappointment. Maybe he wouldn't have anointed David. Maybe 232 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 5: God would have chosen someone else to go to the 233 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 5: House of Jesse. Maybe Samuel would have faded off into 234 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 5: the sunset, defeated, discouraged. Are you putting energy into your past? 235 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 5: Are you feeding your history? God is saying, fill your 236 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 5: horn with oil and be on your way. That means 237 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 5: get your passion back, put a smile on your face, 238 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 5: start moving forward. You're about to come to the House 239 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 5: of Jesse. You thought it was over and done. God 240 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 5: still has a David. God still has something more warning 241 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 5: than you've ever imagined. I talked to a lady that 242 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 5: had been married for over twenty years. Her husband met 243 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 5: another woman and suddenly decided he didn't want to be 244 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 5: married to Hurt anymore. Without any warning, he moved out 245 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 5: and ended the marriage. This lady was so heartbroken she 246 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 5: couldn't understand why that happened. Two years later, she was 247 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 5: still so upset. I told her what I'm telling you. 248 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,479 Speaker 5: You can't keep feeding your history. Don't feed the betrayal, 249 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 5: don't feed the hurt. It's taken you in the wrong direction. 250 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 5: If somebody left you, you have to recognize their part 251 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 5: in your story is over. If they walked away, you 252 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 5: don't need them to fulfill your purpose. If you needed them, 253 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 5: God wouldn't have let them leave. But if you live 254 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 5: thinking that you can't be happy now because they're remarried 255 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 5: they moved on, then you're going to miss the new 256 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 5: things God has in store. Why don't you accept it 257 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 5: as God closing the door God rejected King's saul. Sometimes 258 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 5: God puts an end to things that we don't understand. 259 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 5: Don't put a question mark where God has put a period. 260 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 5: Don't keep mourning over something that you cannot change, always 261 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 5: thinking about it, wondering why it didn't work out, Why 262 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 5: did this door close? Why did I lose my loved one. 263 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 5: I can't tell you why, but I can tell you 264 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 5: if you will fill your horn with oil and be 265 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 5: on your way, there's a house of Jesse that God 266 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 5: has ordained for you. You're going to come into a new 267 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 5: season of joy and fulfillment like you've never seen. I 268 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 5: saw this lady several years after we had talked. In fact, 269 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 5: she came right here to the altar for prayer. She 270 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 5: had this handsome man by her side. She looked so beautiful, 271 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 5: so radiant, like a different person. She told how they 272 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 5: had recently gotten married and she was happier than she 273 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 5: had ever been. She went on and on, telling me 274 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 5: what an amazing man this was. What happened, she quit 275 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 5: mourning and God sent her to the House of Jesse. 276 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 5: When you quit putting energy into your history and you 277 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 5: start putting it into your destiny, God will give you 278 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 5: beauty for those ashes. God will pay you back for 279 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 5: the unfair situation and that person that left you. No 280 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 5: offense to them, but they're a weed. Quit water in 281 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 5: the weed. Quit thinking about the weed. This is a 282 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 5: new season. God has divine connections lined up for you. 283 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 5: Instead of feeding the hurt, feed your faith. Father. Thank 284 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 5: you that my latter days will be better than my 285 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 5: former days. Thank you that what was meant for my harm, 286 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 5: you're using to my advantage. If you'll feed your destiny, 287 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 5: God will make up for the wrongs, Isaiah said. Because 288 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 5: you've got a double dose of trouble, your inheritance in 289 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 5: the land will be double and your joy will go 290 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,239 Speaker 5: on forever. That's my prayer for you, that you'll not 291 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 5: only see double restored back to you, but you'll be 292 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 5: happier and more fulfilled than you've ever been. In Acts 293 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 5: Chapter one, the apostles came together to choose a replacement 294 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 5: for Judas, who had betrayed Jesus. It came down to 295 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 5: two men, Matthias and Barsabas. The apostles prayed, asked for wisdom. 296 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 5: They finally chose Matthias. But imagine how Barsabas must have felt. 297 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 5: This was an incredible opportunity. The twelve Apostles would have 298 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 5: their names written on the foundation of the new Jerusalem. 299 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 5: They would forever be esteemed and respected. Barsabas got so 300 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 5: close he almost became one of the honored Apostles. He 301 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 5: could have gotten discouraged bitter drop doubt, but instead of 302 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 5: feeding his history, instead of dwelling on what didn't work out, 303 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 5: he let it go and kept feeding his destiny. In Acts, 304 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 5: chapter two, it says they were all together in one accord, 305 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 5: in one place. That means he wasn't there with a 306 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 5: bad attitude. He didn't have a chip on his shoulder. 307 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 5: He kept moving forward. When you go through a disappointment 308 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 5: something doesn't work out, do like him. Don't feed the negative. 309 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 5: Don't sit around thinking, oh, man, I miss my big opportunity. 310 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 5: God knows what he's doing. Sometimes he will close doors 311 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 5: that we think should be open. Maybe you didn't get 312 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 5: the promotion that you worked so hard for. You didn't 313 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 5: qualify for that loan for the new house, the relationship 314 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 5: didn't work out. That's in the past. God put a period. 315 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 5: That's history. Now keep moving forward, keep feeding your faith, 316 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 5: feeding your dreams. At the right time, God will open 317 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 5: a better door for you. If you're going to feed 318 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 5: your destiny, you have to be careful who you spend 319 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 5: time with. If you associate with the wrong people, they 320 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 5: can feed you doubt, feed your negativity, feed your gossip. 321 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 5: You're going to become like the people you hang around. 322 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 5: Make sure that they have what you want. If they're negative, critical, 323 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 5: they compromise, they don't have integrity. They're feeding you the 324 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 5: wrong things that's not on your diet. Life is too 325 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 5: short to hang around people that are causing you to compromise, 326 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 5: pulling you down. Your time is too valuable to waste 327 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 5: it with people that don't have a dream, people that 328 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 5: aren't going anywhere, and you don't have to make some 329 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 5: big announcement, but little by little you should spend less 330 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 5: and less time with them. Well, Joel, what if I 331 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 5: hurt their feelings? What if they get upset? What if 332 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 5: you miss your destiny? What if they're keeping you from 333 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 5: going to the next level. When you come to the 334 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 5: end of life, you won't stand before people. You will 335 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,479 Speaker 5: stand before God. He has entrusted you with a gift. 336 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 5: You have an assignment. There's something for you to accomplish. 337 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 5: You have a responsibility to become who God's created you 338 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 5: to be. You have to take bold steps to protect 339 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 5: what you're feeding those coworkers that are negative and critical 340 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 5: instead of going to lunch with them every day. The 341 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 5: right attitude is I love you, but I'm not going 342 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 5: to hang around you because you're feeding me down, feeding 343 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 5: me negativity, feeding me gossip and that's not on my diet. 344 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 5: Sometimes we don't want to rock the boat. We think 345 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 5: if we make changes, we won't have any friends. The 346 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 5: truth is you may be lonely for a season, but 347 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 5: God will give you new friends, better friends, people that 348 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 5: will push you up and not pull you down. But 349 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 5: if you don't get rid of the wrong people, you 350 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 5: will never meet the right people. You should surround yourself 351 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 5: with people that inspire you, people that challenge you, people 352 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 5: that make you better. The Book of Deuteronomy, before the 353 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 5: Israelites went to battle, God said to the leaders, ask 354 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 5: if anyone is afraid. If so, let them go home 355 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 5: so they don't frighten everyone else. God knew the fear 356 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 5: would spread and keep them from the victory. The people 357 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 5: around you are contagious. What they have over time, you're 358 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 5: going to catch. That's why the scripture says, don't hang 359 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 5: around with angry, hot tempered people, or you will become 360 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 5: angry and hot tempered. Spirits are transferable. Proverb says when 361 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 5: you walk with wise men, you will become wise. Notice 362 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 5: it works in the positive and in the negative. You 363 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 5: have to be selected with who you choose to spend 364 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 5: time with. You're going to catch what they have. When 365 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 5: the ten men came back from spying out the Promised Land, 366 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 5: they said, Moses, we don't have a chance. The people 367 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 5: are huge. There are giants in the land. We'll never 368 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 5: defeat them. God had already promised them the victory. But 369 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 5: this negative report from ten people began to spread throughout 370 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 5: the camp. Before long, all two million people were afraid. 371 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 5: They said, Moses, let's go back to Egypt. Let's go 372 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 5: back to where we were when we were slaves. They 373 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 5: were next door to the Promised Land. They turned around 374 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 5: and wandered in the desert for forty years and never 375 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 5: did make it. In the wrong people can talk you 376 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 5: out of your dreams. Don't surround yourself with naysayers, people 377 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 5: that tell you what you can't become. You'll never start 378 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 5: your business, you'll never break that addiction. You'll never get 379 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 5: your degree'll never meet the right person. They don't know 380 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 5: what's in you. They don't control your destiny. Some of 381 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 5: you have dreams that are lieing dormant because the people 382 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 5: around you are negative. They've accepted mediocrity. Now that's rubbed 383 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 5: off on you. The good news is those dreams are 384 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 5: still alive. If you will change who you're spending time with. 385 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 5: Get around people full of faith, people that see your potential, 386 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 5: people that call out your seeds of greatness. Then you're 387 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 5: going to step up to a new level and see 388 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 5: those dreams come to pass. When we received word that 389 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 5: the Compact Center was coming available, we met with a 390 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 5: leading real estate attorney. This man came highly recommended. For 391 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 5: thirty minutes, he told us all the reasons why we 392 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 5: weren't going to get the building, why it was going 393 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 5: to be way too expensive, and how we were probably 394 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 5: violating the deed restrictions, on and on. When we finished 395 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 5: the meeting, I told our administrator, I don't want this 396 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 5: man on our team. I have enough doubt on my own. 397 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 5: I don't need his doubt. I can talk me out 398 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 5: of it by myself. I need somebody to help talk 399 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 5: me into it. If I would have allowed him to stay, 400 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 5: he would have contaminated the whole group and we probably 401 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 5: wouldn't be here. You have to be firm about who 402 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 5: you're letting to feed you. I'm nice, I smile all 403 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 5: the time, but if you're negative, I'm gonna smile while 404 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 5: waving goodbye. If somebody compromises, if they don't have integrity. 405 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 5: If they run around on their spouse. I'll be friendly, 406 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 5: but I'm not going to hang around with them. I 407 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 5: want somebody feeding me excellence, integrity, faith, hope, somebody inspiring me. 408 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 5: Mark Chapter eight, a blind man was brought to Jesus. 409 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 5: The scripture says, Jesus led the blind man out of town, 410 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 5: and then he healed him. Why did he take him 411 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 5: out of town? He's God, he could have healed him anywhere. 412 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 5: Maybe it was because this blind man was in a 413 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 5: negative environment, surrounded by people that had accepted mediocrity. They 414 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 5: would have said, you really think you're going to get well. 415 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 5: You've been blind your whole life. Jesus had to take 416 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 5: him out of town so he wouldn't be talked out 417 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 5: of his miracle. Sometimes you have to get out of 418 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 5: a negative environment to see God's favor in a new way, 419 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 5: because the people that knew you back then will try 420 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 5: to keep you in the same box they've had you 421 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 5: in since you were growing up. The problem is you're 422 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 5: not the same person. They're trying to feed your history. 423 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 5: God is ready to feed your destiny. It's time to 424 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 5: break out of that box. Don't let the limitations of 425 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 5: those around you hold you down. You were made for 426 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 5: more new levels in you. There are seeds of greatness 427 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 5: waiting to spring forth. You may have had some disappointments 428 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 5: in the past, but this is a new day. God 429 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 5: is about to release his favor in a new way. 430 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 5: Chains that have held you back are being broken. Doors 431 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 5: are going to open that you never dreamed would open. 432 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 5: Now do your part. Keep feeding your faith, feeding your hopes, 433 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 5: feeding your dreams. Stay on your diet. No more feeding doubt, negativity, compromise, 434 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 5: No more mourning over what didn't work out. Don't use 435 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 5: your energy to feed your history. Use your energy to 436 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 5: feed your destiny. If you'll do this, I believe and declare, 437 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 5: you're about to come into Jesse's house. You're about to 438 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 5: see new levels, new opportunities, new relationships, the fullness of 439 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 5: your destiny. In Jesus's name, if you receive it, can 440 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 5: you say him in today? I'd like to give you 441 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 5: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 442 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 5: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll 443 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 5: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make 444 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 5: you my lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer. 445 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 5: We believe you got born again. Get in a good 446 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 5: Bible based church. Keep God first place. He's going to 447 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 5: take your places that you've never dreamed. 448 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 4: As a thank you for your support of our ministry 449 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 4: this month, Joel and Victoria I, we'd like to send 450 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 4: you a copy of Jewel's inspirational new series, Living Above 451 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 4: and Beyond.
