I 44 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 4: like to start with something funny, and I heard about 45 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 4: this ninety two year old man. He wasn't feeling up 46 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 4: to paron. He went to the doctor for a cheka. 47 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 4: A few days later, the doctor saw him out walking 48 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 4: in the park. He had this beautiful young lady by 49 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 4: his side, and he seemed as happy as convened. The 50 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 4: doctor said, Wow, you sure are feeling a lot better, 51 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 4: aren't you. He said, yes, Doctor, I'm just taking your orders. 52 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 4: You said, get a hot mama and be cheerful. The 53 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 4: doctor said, I didn't say that. I said you got 54 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 4: a heart murmur. Be careful. Hold up your bible. Say 55 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 4: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 56 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 4: am what it says I am. I have what it 57 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 4: says I have. I can do what it says I 58 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 4: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 59 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 4: I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 60 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 61 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 62 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 4: the power of I am. What follows these two simple 63 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 4: words will determine what kind of life you live. I 64 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 4: am blessed. I am strong, I am healthy or I 65 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 4: am slow. I am unattractive, I am a terrible mother. 66 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 4: The I ams that are coming out of your mouth 67 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 4: will bring either success or failure. All through the day. 68 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 4: The power of I am as at work. We make 69 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 4: a mistake. I am so clumsy. We look in the mirror, 70 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 4: I am so old, We see somebody very talented. I 71 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 4: am so average. We get caught in traffic. I am 72 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 4: so unlucky. Many times we use the power of I 73 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 4: am against us. We don't realize how it's affecting our future. 74 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 4: Here's the principle. What follows the I am will always 75 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 4: come looking for you. When you say I am so clumsy. 76 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 4: Clumsy comes looking for you, I am so old. Wrinkles 77 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 4: come looking for you, I am so overweighted. Calories come 78 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 4: looking for you. It's just like you're inviting them. Whatever 79 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 4: you follow the I AM with, you're handing it an invitation, 80 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 4: opening the door, giving it permission to be in your life. Now, 81 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 4: the good news is you get to choose what follows 82 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 4: the IM. When you go through the days saying I 83 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 4: am blessed, blessings come looking for you, I am talented. 84 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 4: Talent comes looking for you. You may not feel up 85 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 4: to par, but when you say I am healthy, health 86 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 4: starts hitting your way, I am strong. Strength starts tracking 87 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 4: you down. You're inviting that into your life. That's why 88 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 4: you have to be careful what follows the I am. 89 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 4: Don't ever say I am so unlucky, I never get 90 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 4: any good breaks. You're inviting disappointments. I am so broke, 91 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 4: I am so in debt. You are inviting struggle. You're 92 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 4: inviting lack. You need to send out some new invitations. 93 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 4: Get up in the morning and invite good things into 94 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 4: your life. I am blessed, I am strong, I am talented, 95 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 4: I am disciplined, I am focused, I am prosperous. When 96 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 4: you talk like that, talent get summoned by Almighty God. 97 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 4: Go find that person. Health, strength, abundance, discipline starts heading 98 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 4: your way. But how many people, when they wake up 99 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 4: in the morning look in the mirror. The first thing 100 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 4: they say, I am so old, I am so wrinkled, 101 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 4: I am so worn out. You are inviting oldness, You're 102 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 4: inviting fatigue. Do us all a favor. Stop inviting that. 103 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 4: When you get up in the morning, look in the mirror. 104 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 4: Instead of complaining, you should be saying, I am fearfully 105 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 4: and wonderfully made, I am attractive, I am getting younger. 106 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 4: You talk like that, and God will renew your youth. 107 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 4: I know people, the older they get, the more attractive 108 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 4: they are. A lot has to do with our attitude. 109 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 4: The other day, our daughter Alexandra had a copy of 110 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 4: my first book from two thousand and four, and she 111 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 4: was comparing the picture to my new book that was 112 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 4: just released. She said, Daddy, you look better now than 113 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 4: you did back then. I said, what would you like 114 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 4: me to buy you? And I was with my college 115 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 4: roommate last week. He said, Joel, what are you doing. 116 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 4: You're getting taller, You're growing it. I said, I received that. 117 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 4: I didn't want to tell him that he's getting shorter. 118 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 4: But when you go around saying I am being renewed 119 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 4: in my youth, I am full of health, vitality, wholeness, 120 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 4: that's one of the best anti aging treatments you could 121 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 4: ever take. My mother's a great example of this. I 122 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 4: mentioned how she just turned seventy eight. She still looks 123 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 4: It's fantastic. She's still strong, still energetic, still beautiful. But 124 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 4: when you get up in the morning, don't talk about 125 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 4: how old you are, how bad you look. Dare to say, 126 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 4: I am young, I am energetic, I am vibrant, I 127 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 4: am radiant, I am fresh. Some of you women have 128 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 4: never once said I am beautiful. You're so focused on 129 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 4: your flaws and what you don't like about yourself and 130 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 4: how you wish you had more here and less there. 131 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 4: And I'm not pointing, but you know where I mean. 132 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 4: When you say I am beautiful, Beauty comes looking for you, 133 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 4: Youth comes looking for you, Freshness comes looking for you. 134 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 4: Nobody can do this for you. It's got to come 135 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 4: out of your own mouth. Listen, ladies, don't go around 136 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 4: telling your husbands how unattractive you are. You should never 137 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 4: put yourself down, and especially don't put yourself down in 138 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 4: front of your own husband. You are his prize. To him, 139 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 4: you're the most beautiful woman in the world. Well, why 140 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 4: would you want to tell him anything differently, The last 141 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 4: thing he needs to hear is how bad you think 142 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 4: you look. Don't put those thoughts in his mind. It's 143 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 4: not going to do him nor you any good to 144 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 4: discredit yourself if you keep telling him how bad you look. 145 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 4: One day he may believe you. But when you say 146 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 4: I am beautiful, not only does beauty, youth, freshness starts 147 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 4: coming your way, but on the inside, your spirit person 148 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 4: comes alive. Your self image begins to improve, and you'll 149 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 4: start carrying yourself like you're someone special. You want drag 150 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 4: through the day feeling less than inferior. You'll have that 151 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 4: spring in your steps that you go girl attitude. Beauty 152 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 4: is not in how thin or tall you are, how 153 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 4: perfect you look. Beauty is in being who God made 154 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 4: you to be with for this, if you're a size four, great, 155 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 4: If you're a size twenty four, great, take what you 156 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 4: have and make the most of it. God made you 157 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 4: like you are on purpose. He gave you your looks, 158 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 4: your height, your skin color, your nose, your personality. Nothing 159 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 4: about you is by accident. You didn't get overlooked, you 160 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 4: didn't get left out. God said in Ephesians, you are 161 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 4: my masterpiece. Instead of going around down on yourself, feeling unattractive, 162 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 4: too tall, too short, not enough of this, too much 163 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 4: of that. No, dare to get up in the morning 164 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 4: and say I am a masterpiece. I am created in 165 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 4: the image of Almighty God. David said in ps On 166 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 4: one thirty nine, God, I praise you because you have 167 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 4: made me in an amazing way. What you have done 168 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 4: is wonderful. Notice David's as he was saying, not in 169 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 4: pride but in praise to God, I am wonderful, I 170 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 4: am amazing. I am a masterpiece that goes against human nature. 171 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 4: Most of us think there's nothing amazing about me, nothing wonderful. 172 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 4: I'm just average, I'm just ordinary. Or the fact is 173 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 4: there is nothing ordinary about you. You have a fingerprint 174 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 4: that nobody else has. There will never be another you. 175 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 4: Even if you have a twin somebody that looks exactly 176 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 4: like you, they don't have your same personality, your same goals, 177 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 4: your same fingerprints. You are an original. When God made you, 178 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 4: he threw away the mold. But as long as you 179 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 4: go around thinking I'm just average, Joel, I'm just one 180 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 4: of the billions of people on the earth. Nothing special 181 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 4: about me. The wrong I am can keep you from 182 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 4: rising higher. I wonder what would happen if, all through 183 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 4: the day, not in front of other people, but in privacy, 184 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 4: in the shower, driving to work underneath our breath, instead 185 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 4: of being down on ourselves and discrediting who we are 186 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 4: and focusing on all of our flaws, what would happen 187 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 4: if we would be bold like David to say, I 188 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 4: am amazing, I am wonderful, I am valuable, I am 189 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 4: a masterpiece. I am a child of the most High God. 190 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 4: You talk like that, and amazing comes chasing you down, 191 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 4: Awesome starts heading in your direction. You won't have that 192 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 4: week defeated. I'm just average mentality. No, you'll carry yourself 193 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 4: like a king, like a queen, not in pride, not 194 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 4: being better than somebody, but with a quiet confidence, with 195 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 4: a knowing that you've been handpicked by the creator of 196 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 4: the universe and you have something amazing to offer this world. 197 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 4: That's what happened to a lady in the scripture named Sarah. 198 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 4: She had to change. I Am God promised Sarah and 199 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 4: her husband Abraham that they would have a baby. But 200 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 4: Sarah was eighty years old, way past the child bearing years, 201 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 4: and back in those days, if a wife didn't give 202 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 4: her husband a child she couldn't conceive for some reason, 203 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 4: even if it was the husband's fault, the wife was 204 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 4: seen as a failure. She was looked down on greatly. 205 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 4: There was a sense of shame for not being able 206 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 4: to have a baby. And this is how Sarah felt. 207 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 4: She was eighty years old, never had a baby. She 208 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 4: felt like she had let Abraham down. Her self esteem 209 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 4: is so low. I can imagine some of her i ams. 210 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 4: I am a failure, I am inferior, I am not 211 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 4: good enough, I am unattractive. Now she's got this promise 212 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 4: that as an older woman, she's going to have a baby, 213 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 4: and God knew that it would never come to pass 214 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 4: unless he could convince to change her i ams. It 215 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 4: was so imperative that she had this new mindset. God 216 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 4: actually changed her name from Sarah to Sarah. Sarah means princess. 217 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 4: Now every time someone said good morning Sarah, they were saying, 218 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 4: good morning, princess. How are you, Sarah? How are your princes? 219 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 4: Would you pass me the ketchup? Sarah? Would you pass 220 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 4: me the ketchup? Princess? She heard this over and over, 221 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 4: and those words got on the inside and began to 222 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 4: change her self image. She went from I am a 223 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 4: failure to I am a princess. From I am unattractive 224 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 4: to I am beautiful, from I am ashamed to I 225 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 4: am crowned by Almighty God. Instead of hanging her head 226 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 4: in defeat in embarrassment, she started holding her head up high. 227 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 4: From I'm not good enough to I am a child 228 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 4: of the Most High God inferior to I am fearfully 229 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 4: and wonderfully made her new attitude was I am amazing, 230 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 4: I am wonderful, I am a masterpiece. And ladies, like Sarah, 231 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 4: you may have had a lot of things in life 232 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 4: try to push you down. Bad breaks, disappointments, maybe even 233 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 4: people have tried to make you feel like you just 234 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 4: don't measure up. You're not quite attractive enough. You could 235 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 4: easily let that seed get on the inside and ruin 236 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 4: your sense of value, cause you to live inferior. But 237 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 4: God is saying to you what he said to Sarah, 238 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,479 Speaker 4: I want you to change your name to princes, not physically, 239 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 4: but in your attitude. You got to shake off the 240 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 4: negative things people have said about you, shake off the 241 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 4: low self esteem, the inferiority, and start carrying yourself like 242 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 4: a princess. Start walking like a princess, Start talking like 243 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 4: a princess, Start thinking like a princess, Start waving like 244 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 4: a prince. Insists instead of I am inferior, I am 245 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 4: less than no, I am one of a kind. I 246 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 4: am handpicked by Almighty God. I am valuable. I am 247 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 4: a masterpiece. When you get up in the morning, don't 248 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 4: focus on all your flaws. Look in the mirror and 249 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 4: dare to say I am beautiful, I am young, I 250 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 4: am vibrant, I am confident, I am secure. You may 251 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 4: have had some disappointments, people may have tried to push 252 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 4: you down. But quit telling yourself you're all washed up. 253 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 4: Do like Sarah and say I am royalty, I am 254 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 4: crowned with favor. I am excited about my future. This 255 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 4: princess spirit got on the inside of Sarah. It changed 256 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 4: her self image. Now I've learned, you've got to change 257 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 4: on the inside before you'll see change on the outside. 258 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 4: At one hundred years old, against all odds, she gave 259 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 4: birth to that baby. The promise came to pass. My 260 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 4: question today is what kind of i ams are coming 261 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 4: out of your mouth. I am victorious, I am blessed, 262 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 4: I am talented, I am anointed. When you have the 263 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 4: right i ams, you're inviting the goodness of God some 264 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 4: of you. If you would just change the I am, 265 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 4: you would go to a new level. Words have creative power. 266 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 4: With your words. You can bless your future or you 267 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 4: can curse your future. Words are like electricity used the 268 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 4: right way, they can be very helpful. It can give 269 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 4: us lights and air conditioning, all kinds of good things. 270 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 4: But electricity used the wrong way can be very dangerous. 271 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 4: It can harm you, it could even kill you. Same 272 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 4: way with our words. Proverbs says life and death are 273 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 4: in the power of our tongue. It's up to you 274 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 4: to chew use what follows the I am. My encouragement 275 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 4: is never say negative things about yourself. Most of us 276 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 4: would never go up to another person, at least to 277 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 4: their face, and criticize them. Yet we have no problem 278 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 4: criticizing ourselves. I am so slow, I am so unattractive, 279 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 4: I am so undisciplined. That is cursing your future. Do 280 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 4: yourself a favor and zip that up. We have enough 281 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 4: in life against us already. Don't be against yourself. I 282 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 4: had a friend I used to play basketball with, and 283 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 4: when he would miss an important shot, he would say, 284 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 4: I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot, three 285 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 4: or four times. I heard that month after month. He 286 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 4: didn't realize it, but idiot was coming looking for him. 287 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 4: I hate to say it, but I think it found him. 288 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 4: If you go around saying I am so dumb, it 289 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 4: may not be good English, but dumbness is coming your way. 290 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 4: I am so unattractive, I am so plain. Ugliness says, 291 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 4: I hear somebody calling my name. Use your words to 292 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 4: bless your future, not curse your future. The scripture says, 293 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 4: let the weak say I am strong. No, it's just 294 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 4: the opposite. Not I am so tired, I am so 295 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 4: run down. That's calling in the wrong things. Let the 296 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 4: poor say I am well off, not I am broke, 297 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 4: I am so in death. Let the six say I 298 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 4: am healthy, I am improving, I am getting better and better. 299 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 4: See it says in Romans four eighteen to call the 300 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,199 Speaker 4: things that are not as if they already were. That 301 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 4: simply means don't talk about the way you are, talk 302 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 4: about the way you want to be. You're struggling in 303 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 4: your finances, don't go around saying, oh, man, business is 304 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 4: so slow, the economy is so down, it's never gonna 305 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 4: work out. That's calling the things that are as if 306 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 4: they will always be that way. That's just describing the situation. 307 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 4: By faith. You've got to say, I am blessed, I 308 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 4: am successful, I am surrounded by God's favor. I asked 309 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 4: a young man after church last week how he was 310 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 4: doing in high school. He said, oh, Joel, I'm doing okay. 311 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 4: I'm just a C student. Come to find out. One 312 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 4: of his teachers back in elementary school years ago, told 313 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 4: him he was a C student, and he let that 314 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 4: seed take root. I told him what I'm telling you. 315 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,719 Speaker 4: As long as you're saying I am a C student, 316 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 4: you're not going to make as you're calling in the c's, 317 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 4: and those c's will come find you wherever you go. 318 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 4: If you're not careful, you'll make a C in homeroom, 319 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 4: a C in lunch, a C inpe Change the I am. 320 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 4: I am an a student, I am smart, I am 321 00:19:54,200 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 4: full of wisdom. I am a good learner. Some of you, 322 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 4: like this young man, you've allowed what somebody said about 323 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 4: you to hold you back. A coach, a teacher, a parent, 324 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 4: an ex spouse. They planted these negative seeds of what 325 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 4: you cannot do. You're not smart enough, you're not talented enough, 326 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 4: you're not disciplined enough. You're not attractive enough. You'll always 327 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 4: make sees, you'll always be mediocre, you'll always struggle with 328 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 4: your weight. Don't get rid of those lives. That is 329 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 4: not who you are. You are who God says you are. 330 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 4: People may have tried to push you down and tell 331 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 4: you what you can't become. Let that go in one 332 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 4: ear and out the other ear. What somebody said about 333 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 4: you doesn't determine your destiny God does. You need to 334 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 4: know not only what you are, but you need to 335 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 4: know what you are not. In other words, I am 336 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 4: not who people say I am. I am who God 337 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 4: says I am. I am not to tell I am 338 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 4: the head. I am not a borrower, I am a lender. 339 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 4: I am not cursed. I am blessed. Like this young man. 340 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 4: Somebody may have spoken negative words over you, even when 341 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 4: you were younger. But know this, before anyone could put 342 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 4: a curse on you, God put a blessing on you 343 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 4: before you were formed in your mother's womb. God knew 344 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 4: you and he approved you. When God made you, he 345 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 4: stepped back and said, I like that. That was good. 346 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 4: Another masterpiece. He stamped his approval on you. Other people 347 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 4: may try to disapprove you. Don't go around feeling less 348 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 4: than feeling inferior. Our attitude should be I am approved 349 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 4: by Almighty God. I am accepted. I am a masterpiece. 350 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 4: When you talk like that, the seeds of greatness God's 351 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 4: placed on the inside will begin to spring forth. See, 352 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 4: you have gifts and talents that you've not yet tapped into. 353 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 4: There is a treasure on the inside through life. The 354 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,479 Speaker 4: enemy will do his best to try to keep it 355 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 4: pushed down. He doesn't want us to reach our full potential. 356 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 4: That's why there are forces constantly trying to make us 357 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 4: feel intimidated, inferior, unqualified. If you're going to fulfill your destiny, 358 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 4: you've got to shake off the negative voices, shake off 359 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 4: the thoughts that are telling you I am unable, I 360 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 4: am unqualified. No, don't invite weakness in. Don't give intimidation 361 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 4: an invitation. You may feel unqualified, but before you were born, 362 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 4: God equipped you, He empowered you. You are not lacking anything. 363 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 4: God has already stamped his approval on you. People may 364 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 4: try to push you down, but when you know God 365 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 4: has approved you, you realize I don't need other people's approval. 366 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 4: I've been equipped, empowered, anointed by the creator of the universe. 367 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 4: I know a man he was told his high school 368 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 4: counselor that he wasn't very smart. He should focus on 369 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 4: the lowest skilled job that he could find. And I'm 370 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 4: sure the counselor meant well, but he didn't know what 371 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 4: was on the inside. He didn't see the seeds of 372 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 4: greatness God had planted in this young man. As a 373 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 4: high school student, his IM was distorted. I am not 374 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 4: up to par I am not smart, I am very averaging. 375 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 4: He didn't realize he was inviting that into his life, 376 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 4: and sure enough it showed up. After high school, he 377 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 4: got a job at the local factory, and he stayed 378 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 4: at the lowest level year after year after year. One 379 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 4: day the factory closed down and he went across town 380 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 4: and applied at another factory. This company had a policy 381 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 4: that you had to take an IQ test. He took 382 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 4: the test, and he scored the highest in the company's 383 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 4: sixty three year history. His IQ came back at a 384 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 4: genius level. He went on to start his own own business, 385 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 4: and he invented and patented two very successful products. Today 386 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 4: he's extremely blessed what happened. He changed his I am. 387 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 4: Could it be what someone has told you is keeping 388 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 4: you from God's best? Could it be that the wrong 389 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 4: I am is keeping you from rising higher and reaching 390 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 4: your full potential? Do like he did, change the I am. 391 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 4: Don't let what somebody has spoken over you determine your destiny. 392 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 4: Get in agreement with God. Know what you are, and 393 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 4: know what you are not. I am not lacking, I 394 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 4: am not averaged. I am not inferior. I am equipped, 395 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 4: I am empowered, I am anointed, I am wise. I 396 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 4: am a masterpiece in the book of numbers. Moses sent 397 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 4: twelve men in to spy out the promised land. After 398 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 4: forty days, ten of them came back and said, Moses, 399 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 4: we don't have a chance. The people are here huge 400 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 4: compared to them. We felt like we were grasshoppers. Notice 401 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 4: their I ams. I am weak, I am inferior, I 402 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 4: am intimidated, I am afraid. What happened? Fear, intimidation, inferiority 403 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 4: came knocking at the door. The other two spies, Joshua 404 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 4: and Caleb, came back with a different report. They said, Moses, yes, 405 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 4: the people are big, but we know our God is 406 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 4: much bigger. We are well able. Let us go in 407 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 4: and take the land at once. Notice there I am 408 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 4: was just the opposite. I am strong, I am equipped, 409 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 4: I am confident. I am more than a conquer What's 410 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 4: interesting is the negative report from the ten spies spread 411 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 4: like wildfire throughout the rest of the camp. Before long, 412 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 4: some two million people were intimidated and afraid. Nobody even 413 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 4: paid attention to Joshua and Caleb the report of faith. 414 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 4: Here's what I've learned. A negative report always spreads faster 415 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 4: than a positive report. And when people are murmuring, complaining, 416 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 4: talking defeat, be on guard. Make sure you don't let 417 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 4: the wrong I am take root. These ten Spies went 418 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 4: on to say, Moses, why did you even bring us 419 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 4: out here? We're going to die in the wilderness. Our children, 420 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 4: our wives, they're going to be taken as plunder. God 421 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 4: answered back something very powerful. He said in numbers fourteen 422 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 4: twenty eight. I will do for you exactly what you 423 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 4: have said. You said you're going to die in the wilderness, 424 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 4: so you will die in the wilderness. God saying the 425 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 4: same thing to us, I'm going to do exactly what 426 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 4: you've been saying. Don't ever say I'm weak, I'm intimidated, 427 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 4: I'm inferior. Friends, the wrong I am can keep you 428 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 4: from your destiny. In the scripture, have you ever heard 429 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 4: of a man named Sether, a man named Gaddy, a 430 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 4: man named Schafith. Never heard of them? You know why? 431 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,719 Speaker 4: They were some of the ten Spies. They were some 432 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 4: of the ones that never made it into the Promised Land. 433 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 4: The fact is they were called to be a history maker. 434 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 4: They had seeds of greatness on the inside, but the 435 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 4: wrong i am kept them from really making their mark. 436 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 4: Don't let that be you. You may be facing some 437 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 4: major obstacles. My challenge is be a Joshua, be a Caleb. 438 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 4: I am strong, I am confident, I am equipped, I 439 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 4: am more than a conqueror. I am well able. Make 440 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 4: sure you have the right i ams coming out of 441 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 4: your mouth. Joshua and Caleb were the only two from 442 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 4: that whole group to ever make it into the Promised Land. 443 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 4: It would do us all good to make a list 444 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 4: of a dozen or two of these i ams and 445 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 4: read over them all through the day. Get them down 446 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 4: in your spirit, meditate on them. They may not all 447 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 4: be true right now, but you have to call the 448 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 4: things that are not as if they already were. I 449 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 4: am blessed, I am prosperous, I am free, I am talented, 450 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 4: I am young, I am beautiful, I am attractive. Remember 451 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 4: what follows. The i am is going to come looking 452 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 4: for you.
