1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,279 Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 2: the ministry.

And I'd like 10 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 2: to start with something funny. And I heard about this 11 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: group of school children. They were in the cafeteria line 12 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: at their Catholic elementary school. The start of the line 13 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 2: there was a big bowl of apples. A nun had 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: written a note that said, take only one. 15 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: God is watching. 16 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: At the end of the line there was a big 17 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: bowl of chocolate chip cookies. One of the children had 18 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: written a note that said, take all you want. 19 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: God is watching. The apples. Say it like you mean it. 20 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 21 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do 22 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be 23 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: talked the word of God I boldly confess. My mind 24 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 25 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 26 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 2: to talk to you today about feeding your destiny. We 27 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 2: may not realize it, but we're always feeding ourselves. What 28 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 2: we watch and listen to the people we're around, the 29 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: thoughts we're dwelling on. 30 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: That's feeding our inner man. 31 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: If you go to lunch with people that talk bad 32 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 2: about the boss, make fun of a coworker, put down 33 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: a friend, they're feeding you gossip, feeding you jealousy, feeding 34 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 2: you disrespect. 35 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: Here's the key. 36 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 2: Whatever you feed is going to grow. May not like 37 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: what they're feeding you. You're a nice person, but if 38 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 2: you continue to hang around them, before long, you'll be gossiping. 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: You'll be critical, you'll be disrespectful. Why because you kept. 40 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: Feeding the wrong things. 41 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: If you're always feeding negative thoughts, thinking I'll never get well, 42 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: I'll never meet the right person. You're feeding doubt, feeding mediocrity, 43 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: feeding fear. A man told me how he spent years 44 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: of his life on drugs and alcohol, and it had 45 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: ruined his marriage and he wasn't there for his children. 46 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 2: Now he was so down on himself so discouraged. 47 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: What was he doing. 48 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 2: Feeding the guilt, feeding the regret, feeding the blame. If 49 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 2: you feed guilt, it's going to get bigger. If you 50 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: feed fear, it's. 51 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: Going to become larger. 52 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: What if you spent that same energy feeding your faith, 53 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: feeding your hopes, feeding your dreams. Yes, I've made mistakes, 54 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 2: but Father, thank you that You're mercy is bigger than 55 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 2: any mistake. Thank you that I am forgiven. Quit feeding 56 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: the negative. 57 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: And start feeding your faith. What are you allowing in 58 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: your spirit? 59 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 2: The people you're spending time with the thought you're dwelling 60 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 2: on all day, Is that inspiring you, building your faith, 61 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 2: pushing you towards your dreams? 62 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: Or is it junk food. 63 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: Feeding you guilt, mediocrity, negativity causing you to compromise. A 64 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 2: friend of mine was diagnosed with a serious illness. The 65 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: doctor put him on a very strict diet. He couldn't 66 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: need any sugar, any flour, any meat. It was only 67 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: raw vegetables, nuts, grains, very limited. 68 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: Now, I ask him if he was going to do it. 69 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: He said, what do you mean? Am I going to 70 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: do it? I don't have a choice. My life depends 71 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: on it. Today I'm putting you on a new diet, 72 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: not physically, but for your inner man. No more junk food, 73 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 2: No more dwelling on thought of. 74 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: Worry, fear. I don't have what it takes. 75 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: No more hanging around people that are feeding you negativity 76 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: causing you to compromise. No more guilt, condemnation. I'm all 77 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: washed up. Your prescription is for faith. Food, feed your hopes, 78 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: feed your dreams, feed your confidence, feed your destiny. Well, Joel, 79 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: I'm not that talented. I don't have a good personality. 80 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: I'm not as attractive as my friend. Quit feeding the 81 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: insecurity that's not on your diet. Your diet is what 82 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 2: God says about you. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 83 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: I am one of a kind, a masterpiece made in 84 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: the image of God. 85 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: When you feed your value, your value will get stronger. 86 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: If you're dealing with an illness, I don't think i'll 87 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: get well. I've had it so long. The medical report 88 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: doesn't look good. You're feeding the wrong things that's allowing 89 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: the sickness to grow. Turn it around, Father, Thank you 90 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: that you're restoring health back into me. Thank you that 91 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: the number of my days you will fulfill. 92 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: You feed your faith like that. 93 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 2: What's happening is the doubt is getting weaker and weaker. 94 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: Before long, you'll starve the doubt. 95 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: I have some flowers in my backyard, and one summer 96 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: it was very dry and of course very hot here 97 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: in Houston, and the sprinkler system couldn't keep up. So 98 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 2: every afternoon I'd go out and water those flowers with 99 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 2: my hose. About forty feet away, over in the corner 100 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: there were a bunch of weeds couple feet tall. Now 101 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 2: I noticed a few weeks later all those weeds had 102 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 2: died off. They didn't have any water. My flowers were 103 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: just as beautiful as can be. What you don't feed 104 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 2: will eventually die. 105 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: You may have some weeds in your life today. We 106 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: all do. 107 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 2: Weeds of guilt, weeds of negativity. Don't be alarmed by 108 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 2: the weeds. Just don't make the mistake. 109 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: Of watering the weeds. 110 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: Don't give them any energy, don't let them take up 111 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: any space in your mind. What you quit watering will 112 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: eventually go away. If you came over to my backyard 113 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: and saw me out there watering the weeds, you would think, what. 114 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: Is wrong with that man? That doesn't make sense. 115 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: He's watering something he doesn't want. Are you watering what 116 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 2: you don't want? The enemy's main tool is deception. He 117 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: would love for you to go through life watering the weeds, 118 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 2: spending your energy, dwelling on fear, doubt, insecurity, mistakes of 119 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 2: the past. Don't fall into that trap when thoughts tell 120 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 2: you nothing good is in your future. 121 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: It's all downhill from here. 122 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 2: Instead of watering that weed, feeding the discouragement, turn the 123 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: hose the other way. 124 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: Water what God says about you. 125 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: Father, Thank you that the path of the righteous, my 126 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: path gets brighter and brighter. Thank you that you've surrounded 127 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 2: me with your favor when you're in a tough time. 128 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: Instead of feeding the doubt, I'm stuck here, nothing's ever 129 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: going to change. 130 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: Feed your faith. I'm coming out. 131 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 2: God always causes me to tryumph, This too shall pass. 132 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: Whatever you're feeding is getting stronger. 133 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: Don't feed what you don't want. 134 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: Maybe you've had bad breaks in life and things haven't 135 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: turned out the way you had hoped. 136 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: You could easily be discouraged. 137 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: Don't feed the self pity. Don't water what didn't work out. 138 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: Quit reliving the hurts. You can't feed your history and 139 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: feed your destiny. At the same time, if you're using 140 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 2: all your energy to feed your past, you're not going 141 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: to have the energy you. 142 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: Need to feed your future. 143 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 2: What's happened to you is over and done. How you 144 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: were raised, what you didn't get, who hurt you, who 145 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 2: you lost. 146 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: I say it respectfully. That's history that's behind you. 147 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 2: You cannot go into a new season if you're always 148 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: looking back at the old. Those doors are closed. It 149 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: may not have been fair, but God is fair. He 150 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 2: knows how to make it up to you. But you 151 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: have to let go of what didn't work out. Quit 152 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: putting energy into negative things of the past. If you're 153 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: feeding the hurts, feeding the offense, feeding the betrayal, it's 154 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: just like your watering resentment, watering bitterness, watering discouragement. The 155 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 2: way to get past it is you have to starve it. 156 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: Quit dwelling on it. 157 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 2: Quit thinking about what you didn't get, who hurt you, 158 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 2: How you can prove to. 159 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: Them that they shouldn't have left you. If you will. 160 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: Put that same energy into your destiny, believing for new beginnings, 161 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: expecting God's favor, then God will. 162 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: Give you beauty for those ashes. 163 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: God will make up for the wrongs You don't have 164 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: to pay anybody back. God will be your vindicator. But 165 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: we all go through things in life that are not fair. 166 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: The scripture says offenses will come, betrayals will come, bad breaks, loss, 167 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 2: things we don't understand. It's painful enough when they happen. 168 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: But if you make the mistake of feeding the fear, 169 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 2: feeding the offense, feeding the hurt, then it's going to 170 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 2: continue to be painful. You cannot get well if you're 171 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 2: always reopening the wounds, reliving the negative. 172 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: That's making it worse. 173 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 2: And yes, it can feel good to our flesh to 174 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: hold on to hurt, hold on to self pity. You 175 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: may have a valid reason to feel that way. Somebody 176 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: did you wrong, you came down with an illness, the 177 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 2: company laid you off. But when you're feeding the past, 178 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 2: you are putting energy into something that's taking you backwards. 179 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: It's tempt to hold on. 180 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: Sometimes you wake up it's on the forefront of your mind. 181 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: You have to ask yourself, am I going to keep 182 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 2: watering these weeds? Am I going to keep putting energy 183 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 2: into something that's taken me the wrong direction? In the scripture, 184 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 2: the prophet Samuel went through a great disappointment. He had 185 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: chosen a young man named Saul to be the next 186 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: king of Israel. He took Saul under his wing like 187 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 2: he was his own son, and trained him and mentored him. 188 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: And Saul did well as a king for a few years. 189 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 2: Then he got off course, made mistakes he wouldn't obey. Finally, 190 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 2: God rejected Saul as the king. 191 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: He lost the throne, and Samuel was so discouraged. 192 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 2: He had invested years of his life trying to help Saul. 193 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: Now it looked like it was a waste of time. 194 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 2: As Samuel was sitting around heartbroken, feeding the self pity, 195 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 2: feeding the discouragement, God said to him, Samuel, how long 196 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: are you going to mourn over Saul? He was saying, 197 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 2: how long are you going. 198 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 1: To feed your history? 199 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: How long are you going to put energy into something 200 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 2: that's taking you the wrong direction? 201 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: And yes, there's a season of mourning when you go 202 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: through a loss, a disappointment. 203 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 2: You don't have to be superhuman where you never feel anything, 204 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: you never have a down moment, But you can't let 205 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 2: a season of mourning turn into a lifetime of mourning. 206 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: At some point you have. 207 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: To say, yes, I'm disappointed, Yes, I'm hurt a prayer 208 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 2: didn't get answered the way i'd hope. 209 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: But this is a new day. 210 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 2: I'm not feeding my history anymore. I'm letting go of 211 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: what didn't work out. I'm not dwelling on my disappointments. 212 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 2: I'm not reliving my hurts. I'm putting my energy into 213 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 2: my destiny. I'm getting ready for the new things God 214 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 2: has in store. God went on to tell Samuel, your 215 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 2: horn with oil, be on your way. I'm sending you 216 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: to the house of Jesse. I have chosen one of 217 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: his sons to be the king. If you'll quit looking backwards, 218 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 2: quit mourning over what didn't work out, God is going 219 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: to send you to the house of Jesse. He has 220 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 2: a new beginning, a new relationship, a new dream. Just 221 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 2: because Saul didn't work out doesn't mean that it's over. 222 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 2: God has a David. He has another plan, not something secondary. 223 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 2: This is all that I have, too bad, Just take this. 224 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 2: David was the greatest king that ever lived. You may 225 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 2: have gone through an unfair situation, something that took the 226 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 2: wind out of you. 227 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: It wasn't a surprise to God. 228 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: He knew every setback, every disappointment. He has a David 229 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: already lined up for you. Your greatest joy, your greatest victories, 230 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 2: your greatest accomplished are still in your future. But suppose 231 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: Samuel would have continued mourning, putting energy into his past, 232 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 2: feeding that disappointment. Maybe he wouldn't have anointed David. Maybe 233 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,479 Speaker 2: God would have chosen someone. 234 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: Else to go to the House of Jesse. 235 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,599 Speaker 2: Maybe Samuel would have faded off into the sunset, defeated, discouraged. 236 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: Are you putting energy into your past? Are you feeding 237 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 2: your history? God is saying, fill your horn with oil 238 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 2: and be on your way. That means get your passion back, 239 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 2: put a smile on your face, start moving forward. You're 240 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 2: about to come to the House of Jesse. You thought 241 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: it was over and done. God still has a David. 242 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 2: God still has something more rewarding. 243 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: Than you've ever imagined. 244 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 2: I talked to a lady that had been married for 245 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 2: over twenty years. Her husband met another woman and suddenly 246 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: decided he didn't want to be married to Hurt anymore. 247 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 2: Without any warning, he moved out and ended the marriage. 248 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: This lady was so heartbroken she couldn't understand why that happened. 249 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: Two years later, she was still so upset. I told 250 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: her what I'm telling you. You can't keep feeding your history. 251 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 2: Don't feed the betrayal, don't feed the hurt. 252 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: It's taken you in the wrong direction. 253 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: If somebody left you, you have to recognize their part 254 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 2: in your story is over. If they walked away, you 255 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: don't need them. 256 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: To fulfill your purpose. 257 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 2: If you needed them, God wouldn't have let them leave. 258 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 2: But if you live thinking that you can't be happy 259 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: now because they're remarried, they moved on, then you're going 260 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 2: to miss the new things God has in store. Why 261 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: don't you accept it as God closing the door God 262 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: rejected King's song. Sometimes God puts an end to things 263 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: that we don't understand. Don't put a question mark where 264 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: God has put a period. Don't keep mourning over something 265 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 2: that you cannot change, always thinking about it, wondering why 266 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: it didn't work out? Why did this door close? Why 267 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 2: did I lose my loved one? I can't tell you why, 268 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: but I can tell you. If you will fill your 269 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: horn with oil and be on your way, there's a 270 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 2: house of jesse that God has. 271 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: Ordained for you. 272 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: You're gonna come into a new season of joy and 273 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: fulfillment like you've never seen. I saw this lady several 274 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: years after we had talked. In fact, she came right 275 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: here to the altar for prayer. She had this handsome 276 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 2: man by her side. She looked so beautiful, so radiant, 277 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 2: like a different person. She told how they had recently 278 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 2: gotten married. She was happier than she had ever been. 279 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 2: She went on and on, telling me what an amazing 280 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 2: man this was. What happened, she quit mourning, and God 281 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 2: sent her to the House of Jesse. When you quit 282 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: putting energy into your history and you start putting it 283 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 2: into your destiny, God will. 284 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: Give you beauty for those ashes. God will pay you 285 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: back for the unfair situation. 286 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: That person that left you no offense to them, but 287 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 2: they're a weed. 288 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: Quit water in the weed. Quit thinking about the weed. 289 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: This is a new season. 290 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 2: God has divine connections lined up for you. Instead of 291 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: feeding the hurt, feed your faith. Father, Thank you that 292 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 2: my latter days will be better than my former days. 293 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 2: Thank you that what was meant for my harm you're 294 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: using to my advantage. If you'll feed your destiny, God 295 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 2: will make up for the wrongs. Isaiah said, because you've 296 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 2: got a double dose of trouble, your inheritance in the 297 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 2: land will be double, and your joy will go on forever. 298 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 2: That's my prayer for you, that you'll not only see 299 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: double respet back to you, but you'll be happier. 300 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: And more fulfilled than you've ever been. 301 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 2: In Acts chapter one, the apostles came together to choose 302 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 2: a replacement for Judas, who had betrayed Jesus. It came 303 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: down to two men, Matthias and Barsabas. The apostles prayed, 304 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 2: asked for wisdom. They finally chose Matthias. But imagine how 305 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 2: Barsabas must have felt. This was an incredible opportunity. The 306 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 2: twelve Apostles would have their names written on the foundation 307 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: of the new Jerusalem. They would forever be esteemed and respected. 308 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: Barsabas got so close he almost became one of the 309 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 2: honored Apostles. He could have gotten discouraged, bitter, dropped out, 310 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 2: but instead of feeding his history, instead of dwelling on 311 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 2: what didn't work out, he let it go and kept 312 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 2: feeding his destiny. 313 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: In Acts chapter. 314 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 2: Two, it says they were all together in one accord, 315 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 2: in one place. That means he wasn't there with a 316 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 2: bad attitude, He didn't have a chip on his shoulder. 317 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: He kept moving forward. 318 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 2: When you go through a disappointment, something doesn't work out, 319 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 2: do like him. 320 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: Don't feed the negative. 321 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 2: Don't sit around thinking, oh man, I miss my big opportunity. 322 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 2: God knows what he's doing. Sometimes he will close doors 323 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 2: that we think should be open. Maybe you didn't get 324 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 2: the promotion that you work so hard for. You didn't 325 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 2: qualify for that loan for the new house, the relationship 326 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 2: didn't work out. 327 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: That's in the past. God put a period. That's history. 328 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 2: Now keep moving forward, keep feeding your faith, feeding your dreams. 329 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: At the right time, God will open a better door 330 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: for you. 331 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 2: If you're going to feed your destiny, you have to 332 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 2: be careful who you spend time with. If you associate 333 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 2: with the wrong people, they can feed you. Dowt feedj 334 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 2: Your negativity feeds your gossip. You're going to become like 335 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 2: the people you hang around. Make sure that they have 336 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,199 Speaker 2: what you want. If they're negative, critical, they compromise, they 337 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 2: don't have integrity. They're feeding you the wrong things. That's 338 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 2: not on your diet. Life is too short to hang 339 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 2: around people that are causing you to compromise, pulling you down. 340 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 2: Your time is too valuable to waste it with people 341 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 2: that don't have a dream, people that aren't going anywhere, 342 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,719 Speaker 2: and you don't have to make some big announcement, but 343 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 2: little by little you should spend less and less time 344 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 2: with them. Well, Joel, what if I hurt their feelings? 345 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 2: What if they get upset? What if you miss your destiny? 346 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: What if they're keeping you from going to the next level. 347 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: When you come to the end of life, you want 348 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: stand before people, You will stand before God. 349 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: He has entrusted you with a gift. You have an assignment. 350 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: There's something for you to accomplish. 351 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 2: You have a responsibility to become who God's created you 352 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 2: to be. 353 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: You have to take bold. 354 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: Steps to protect what you're feeding those coworkers that are 355 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 2: negative and critical instead of going to lunch with them 356 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 2: every day. The right attitude is I love you, but 357 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 2: I'm not going to hang around you because you're feeding 358 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 2: me down, feeding me negativity, feeding me gossip, and that's 359 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 2: not on my diet. Sometimes we don't want to rock 360 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 2: the boat. We think if we make changes, we won't 361 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 2: have any friends. The truth is you may be lonely 362 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 2: for a season, but God will give you new friends, 363 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 2: better friends, people that will push you up and not. 364 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: Pull you down. But if you don't get rid. 365 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 2: Of the wrong people, you will never meet the right people. 366 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 2: You should surround yourself with people that inspire you, people 367 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 2: that challenge you, people that. 368 00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: Make you better. 369 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 2: The Book of Deuteronomy, before the Israelites went to battle, 370 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 2: God said to the leaders, ask if anyone is afraid. 371 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 2: If so, let them go home so they don't frighten 372 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 2: everyone else. God knew the fear would spread and keep 373 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 2: them from the victory. The people around you are contagious. 374 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 2: What they have over time, you're going to catch. That's 375 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 2: why the scripture says, don't hang around with angry, hot 376 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 2: tempered people, or you will become angry and hot tempered. 377 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: Spirits are transferable. 378 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 2: Proverb says, when you walk with wise men, you will 379 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 2: become wise. 380 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: Notice it works in the positive and in the negative. 381 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: You have to be selective with who you choose to 382 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 2: spend time with. 383 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: You're going to catch what they have. 384 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 2: When the ten men came back from spying out the 385 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 2: Promised Land, they said, Moses, we don't have a chance. 386 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: Are huge. 387 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 2: There are giants in the land. We'll never defeat them. 388 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 2: God had already promised them the victory but this negative 389 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 2: report from ten people begin to spread throughout the camp. 390 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: Before long, all two million people were afraid. They said, Moses, 391 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 2: let's go back to Egypt. Let's go back to where 392 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 2: we were when we were slaves. They were next door 393 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 2: to the promised Land. They turned around and wandered in 394 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 2: the desert for forty years and never did make it. 395 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 2: In the wrong people can talk you out of your dreams. 396 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 2: Don't surround yourself with naysayers, people that tell you what 397 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 2: you can't become. You'll never start your business, you'll never 398 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 2: break that addiction, you'll never get your degree, you'll never 399 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 2: meet the right person. They don't know what's in you. 400 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 2: They don't control your destiny. Some of you have dreams 401 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 2: that are lieing, dormant because the people around you are negative. 402 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 2: They've accepted mediocrity. 403 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: Now that's rubbed off on you. 404 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 2: The good news is those dreams are still alive. If 405 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: you will change who you're spending time with, get around 406 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 2: people full of faith, people that see your potential, people 407 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,719 Speaker 2: that called out your seeds of greatness, then you're going 408 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 2: to step up to a new level and see those 409 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 2: dreams come to pass. When we received word that the 410 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 2: compact center was coming available. We met with a leading 411 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: real estate attorney. This man came highly recommended. For thirty minutes, 412 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 2: he told us all the reasons why we weren't going 413 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 2: to get the building, why it was going to be 414 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 2: way too expensive, and how we were probably violating the 415 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 2: deed restrictions, on and on. 416 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: When we finished the meeting. 417 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 2: I told our administrator, I don't want this man on 418 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 2: our team. 419 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: I have enough doubt on my own. I don't need 420 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: his doubt. 421 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 2: I can talk me out of it by myself. I 422 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 2: need somebody to help talk me into it. If I 423 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 2: would have allowed him to stay, he would have contaminated 424 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 2: the whole group and we probably wouldn't be here. 425 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: You have to be firm about who you're letting to 426 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: feed you. 427 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 2: I'm nice, I smile all the time, but if you're negative, 428 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 2: I'm gonna smile while waving goodbye. If somebody compromises, if 429 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 2: they don't have integrity, if they run around on their spouse, 430 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 2: I'll be friendly, but I'm not going to hang around 431 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 2: with them. I want somebody feeding me excellence, integrity, faith, hope, 432 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 2: somebody inspiring me. Mark Chapter eight, a blind man was 433 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 2: brought to Jesus. The scripture says, Jesus led the blind 434 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 2: man out of town, and then he healed him. Why 435 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 2: did he take him out of town? He's God, He 436 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 2: could have healed him anywhere. Maybe it was because this 437 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 2: blind man was in a negative environment, surrounded by people 438 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 2: that had accepted mediocrity. They would have said, you really 439 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 2: think you're going to get well. You've been blind your 440 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 2: whole life. Jesus had to take him out of town 441 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 2: so he wouldn't be talked out of his miracle. Sometimes 442 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 2: you have to get out of a negative environment to 443 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 2: see God's favor in a new way, because the people 444 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 2: that knew you back then will try to keep you 445 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: in the same box they've had you in since you 446 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 2: were growing up. The problem is you're not the same 447 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 2: person they're trying to feed your history. God is ready 448 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 2: to feed your destiny. It's time to break out of 449 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 2: that box. Don't let the limitations of those around you 450 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 2: hold you down. 451 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: You were made for more. You have new levels in you. 452 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 2: There are seeds of greatness waiting to spring forth. You 453 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 2: may have had some disappointments in the past, but this 454 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 2: is a new day. God is about to release his 455 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 2: favor in a new way. Chains that have held you 456 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 2: back are being broken. Doors are going to open that 457 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 2: you never dreamed would open. 458 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: Now do your part. 459 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 2: Keep feeding your faith, feeding your homes, feeding your dreams. 460 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: Stay on your diet. 461 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 2: No more feeding doubt, negativity, compromise. No more mourning over 462 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 2: what didn't work out. Don't use your energy to feed 463 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: your history, use your energy to feed your destiny. If 464 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 2: you'll do this, I believe and declare, you're about to 465 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 2: come into Jesse's house. You're about to see new levels, 466 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 2: new opportunities, new relationships, the fullness of your destiny in 467 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 2: Jesus's name, if you receive it, Can you say. 468 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: Him in Today? 469 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 2: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 470 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 2: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 471 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 472 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 2: into my heart. I make you my lord, and say. 473 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 2: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 474 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 2: born again. Get in a good Bible based church. Keep 475 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 2: God first place. He's going to take your places that 476 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 2: you've never dreamed. 477 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to the Joeloustine podcast.
