1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you

Speaker 1: enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and

Speaker 1: share it with a friend, reappreciate you and pray for

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: God's very best in your life. Well, God bless you.

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: It's great to be with you today, and I hope

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: daily podcast or YouTube channel, social media, and you can

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: come visit us in person. We'd love to have you

10
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: be a part of one of our services. And I'd

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: like to start with something funny. And I heard about

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: these two men, the Pope and a lawyer. They died

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: on the same day and went to heaven and Peter

14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: met them at the gate said follow me, I'll take

15
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 1: it to your homes. Peter dropped the Pope off at

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: this small wood frame house, one bed, one table, nothing

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: to it. He then took the lawyer to this magnificent house.

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: It was huge. You had a big swimming pool, big backyard.

19
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: The lawyer was overwhelmed. He said, Peter, tell me, how

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: did I manage to get Thisctam place when the Pope

21
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: only got a small place. Peter said, we have dozens

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: of popes, but you're the first lawyer. All right, y'all's

23
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: this and Joe, here we go. This is my Bible.

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what

25
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my

28
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In

29
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: Jesus's name, God bless you. I want to talk to

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: you today about purify yourself. It's easy to go through

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: life carrying things that are poisoning us. Pride, jealousy, and unforgiveness.

32
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: We don't realize that's contaminating our life. As long as

33
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: it's there, it's blocking the blessings that belong to us.

34
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: God has already scheduled times to be good to you,

35
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: to show you favor, open doors, turn problems around. But

36
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: we have to be in a alignment with Him for

37
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: that to happen. The scripture says blessed are the pure

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: in heart, for they will see God. This implies if

39
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: there are impurities, then you're not gonna see God's best

40
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. You need to ask yourself, Is

41
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: there something I'm doing that's keeping me from growing? Am

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: I holding on to bitterness that's blocking my joy? Am

43
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: I dwelling on doubt, convinced my dream can't come to

44
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: pass it's blocking my faith? Or am I running with

45
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: the wrong crowd that's polluting my decisions and blocking my destiny.

46
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: You have to get rid of the blessing blockers. It's

47
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: not that God is withholding his goodness. Those impurities are

48
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: keeping you from seeing his goodness. Maybe you went through

49
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: a disappointment and a door closed, friend walked away, and

50
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: you attempted to live sour think that life's not fair.

51
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: Don't let that bitterness block the new things God has

52
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: in store. If you'll keep that poi out of your spirit,

53
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: God will make it up to you. Or you may

54
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: have made mistakes. Now you believe in those lies that

55
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: you're not worthy. Nothing good is in your future. It's

56
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: too late now that guilt is blocking your blessing. When

57
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: you ask for forgiveness, God forgave you the first time.

58
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: He doesn't remember what you did wrong. Why are you

59
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: remembering what God is forgotten? Why are you dwelling on

60
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: your failures when you've been forgiven, restored and washed clean.

61
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: Try a different approach and purify yourself. See, sometimes we're

62
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: waiting for God to do something. For God is waiting

63
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: on us. You have to remove the blessing blockers. When

64
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: your heart is pure, you will see God's favor, his healing,

65
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: his restoration. And this is not something we should do

66
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: once a year, once a quarter. On a daily basis.

67
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: You need to empty out any unforgiveness, doubt, anger. If

68
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: you'll get in this habit of purifying yourself, then you're

69
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: in position for God to show himself strong in your life.

70
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: After forty years of wandering in the desert, the Israelites

71
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: were about to go into the Promised Land. Moses had died.

72
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: Now Joshua was in charge. They were camped at the

73
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: Jordan River needed to get across. The problem was it

74
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: was swollen over a mile wide well. Joshua had seen

75
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: how God parted the Red Sea for Moses, and he

76
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: believed God would do that for him. Early one morning,

77
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: he called everyone together and told them how the next

78
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: day they were going to follow the priest into the water.

79
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: The priest would be carrying the ark of the Covenant

80
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: that represented the presence of God. I'm sure some of

81
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: the people were worried, thinking, Joshua, there's a river there

82
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: we can't get across. Joshua said in verse five, purify yourselves.

83
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: For tomorrow the Lord will do great wonders among you.

84
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: The next day, the Jordan River was going to part.

85
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: A few days later, the walls of Jericho were going

86
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 1: to fall. These were moments of favor God had already

87
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: planned for them, but there was a requirement something the

88
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: people had to do before it could happen. Joshua was said,

89
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: purify yourself. They had to go through this process of

90
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: cleansing and consecration. I could imagine some of them were busy,

91
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: they were tired. They didn't feel like it, but they

92
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: didn't see it as an option. They knew if I

93
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: don't purify myself, I'm not going to be allowed to go.

94
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: Purification was a requirement. They had to wash their clothes,

95
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: abstain from intimacy, offer a burnt offering for sins. It

96
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: was a time of consecration and cleansing that prepared them

97
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: for what God was about to do. And they had

98
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: these ceremonial laws back then, of course we don't have today.

99
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: But the principle is still true. If you're going to

100
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: see the wonders of God, if you're going to step

101
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: into new levels, you have to purify yourself. The higher

102
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: you go, the more consecrated you have to be. For

103
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: God to release more of his favor. You have to

104
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: step up to a new level of commitment, focus, discipline.

105
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: You may not be able to hang around the same

106
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: friends and see the wonders of God. You may have

107
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: to adjust how you spend your time, what you're watching,

108
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: your attitude, your thought life. If you'll come up higher

109
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: in those areas, you're positioning yourself for God to do

110
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: greater things. And the next day, after they had purified themselves,

111
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: the priests walked into the water with everyone following them.

112
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: Just like the Red Sea, it opened up. The people

113
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: went through on dry ground. They saw the wonders of God.

114
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: God is saying to us what he said to them.

115
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: If you will purify yourself, you will see Me do

116
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: amazing things in your life. If you will release the unforgiveness,

117
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: If you'll be happy for that friend instead of jealous,

118
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: if you'll bite your tongue and not say hurtful things,

119
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: if you'll stop believing that you're not enough, not valuable.

120
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: If you'll get rid of the insecurity, then you will

121
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: step into favor. Good breaks the wonders that God has

122
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: already planned for you. And it's significant that Joshua didn't

123
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: say the priests will help purify you. The leadership will

124
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: do it. Find a friend to purify you. This is

125
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: something only you can do. You have to make the choice.

126
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to live a holy, consecrated life. I'm gonna

127
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: do the right thing when no one is looking. I'm

128
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: gonna be kind when I don't feel like it. I'm

129
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: gonna resist the temptation to get angry, to compromise. If

130
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: it was up to other people, our destiny would be

131
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: in their hands. It's up to them to keep us

132
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: on track, make sure we're disciplined. They have to hold

133
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: me accountable. That's all good, but you can fool other people.

134
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: They can't be with you twenty four hours a day.

135
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: They don't know what you're thinking, they don't know what's

136
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: happening in secret. This is all about self discipline, self control.

137
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: You making the choice to keep your temple pure, to

138
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: get rid of the toxins, the doubt, the jealousy, the

139
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: compromise these things that are keeping you from the favor

140
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: that God has in store. Joshua said, tomorrow the Lord

141
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: will do great wonders. The blessing was already scheduled. Your

142
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: breakthrough is already on the calendar, meeting the right person,

143
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: the healing, the promotion, your promised land. God has already

144
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: set the time. He's already marked that moment. But before

145
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: it can happen, you have to purify yourself well. If

146
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: your set time is in two days from now, are

147
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: you ready? If God is scheduled your Jordan River to

148
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: part next Friday, are you able to go on the trip?

149
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: Have you forgiven the person that did you wrong? Have

150
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: you cleansed yourself from watching things that are polluting you?

151
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: Have you broken away from relationships that are pulling you down?

152
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: Have you deleted those thoughts telling you you'll never get well,

153
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: never be free? Those are toxins that will poison your life.

154
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: Now.

155
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: I know some of this is not easy, but God

156
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: will never ask you to do something and not give

157
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: you the ability to do it. His grace will be

158
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: there to empower you. Maybe you tried before, you weren't able.

159
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: You need to try again. God is breathing on you

160
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: in a new way. You have the power to resist

161
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: the temptation, the grace to release the hurt, the discipline

162
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: to do the right thing. It may be hard to forgive,

163
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: but that unforgiveness is blocking your blessing. It's harder to

164
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: live bitter, to go through life with that poor your spirit.

165
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: It may be difficult to control your temper, bite, your tongue,

166
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: not be argumentative, but it's more difficult to live in

167
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: mediocrity and miss the great wonders God asks for you.

168
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: You have to get rid of the blessing blockers. Purity

169
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: is power. It doesn't mean we're perfect. We all have

170
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: things we're dealing with. But you're doing your best. You're

171
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: not accepting mediocrity. You're taking steps daily to empty out

172
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: the negative, to release the hurt, or to forgive yourself

173
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: for mistakes. God sees you do in your part, you're

174
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: in position to see His favor in greater ways. It's

175
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: interesting how God designed the body to function. Each day

176
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: we eat food and get our nutrition. The body takes

177
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: what's helpful and uses it for energy and growth and

178
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: new cells. Then every day there's a process of elimination

179
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: where the waste, toxins, things that aren't helpful or released

180
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: from the body. If there's not a daily elimination, you

181
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: know what happens. You get constipated. You don't feel good,

182
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: you don't have energy, you're lethargic, you can be nauseated,

183
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: all because you're holding onto things that are supposed to

184
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: be released. I don't want this to be gross, but

185
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: some people are mentally constipated. They've held on to every hurt,

186
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: every disappointment, every closed door. Great grandmother said something forty

187
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: years ago. They're still upset, still mad at the boss

188
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: that left them out, still dwelling on mistakes they made

189
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: decades back, still reliving the loss, the pain from a breakup.

190
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,599
Speaker 1: As long as you're holding onto that, it's poisoning you.

191
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have the energy, the creativity, the joy

192
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: to become who you were created to be. Do yourself

193
00:11:54,040 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: a favor, have an elimination, purify yourself, release anything negative guilt.

194
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: The insecurity God has great wonders in front of you.

195
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: He saw what wasn't fair, he saw who hurt you,

196
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: what didn't work out. He's already scheduled beauty for those ashes.

197
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: He's already put on your calendar ways to pay you back.

198
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: They're thrust you ahead where you don't even think about

199
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: who did you wrong. There are great wonders in your future,

200
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: but remember the requirement. You have to get rid of

201
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: the blessing blockers. Just like in the physical you need

202
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: to do this on a daily basis. Don't let things

203
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: build up. The scripture says, don't let the sun go

204
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: down while you're still angry. Why would God tell us

205
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: to not let anger last over twenty four hours because

206
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't want us to get clogged up. This is

207
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: saying don't go to bed mad at your spouse. Don't

208
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: get up in the morning with condemnation, are jealous of

209
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: that friend or thinking you're not good enough. Every morning.

210
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: There needs to be a cleansing, a reset where you

211
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: let go of all the negative. You forgive people for

212
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: what they said yesterday. You forgive yourself for not performing perfectly.

213
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: You set your mind in faith, in hope, discipline, thanking

214
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 1: God for the favor on your life. That's purifying yourself.

215
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: If not, the anger is going to be there one night,

216
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: then two, then a month and a year. Now it's

217
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: a part of who you are that may be the

218
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: way it's been, but you don't have to stay that way.

219
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: You wouldn't be hearing this if God wasn't calling you

220
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: up higher. He has some great wonders scheduled for your life.

221
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: There are some promised lands, some Jordan rivers that are

222
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: about to part. Like Joshua what told the people tomorrow,

223
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. You need to get ready. You're

224
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: about to see God show out in your life now.

225
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: My whole challenge is make sure you're prepared. Don't be

226
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: left on the shores watching others go into the promised

227
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: land because you didn't deal with things. You didn't release

228
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: the toxins. You didn't break away from bad influences. You

229
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: held onto the hurt. This is a wake up call.

230
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: We're not gonna be here forever. Life is flying by.

231
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,479
Speaker 1: We don't have time to miss opportunities. There is greatness

232
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: in you. God has raised you up to set new standards.

233
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: Now be responsible for what He's entrusted you with. Maybe

234
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: there are things you're watching listening to that are contaminating.

235
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: You tell us, no big deal. Everybody does it, but

236
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: you're not everybody. You'll call descend out in the crowd.

237
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: Some of these shows on television where people are unfaithful,

238
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: no morals, backstabbing friends. If you're constantly watching that, those

239
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: seeds are being planted in you, you're allowing that to

240
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: take route. They're gonna become the same thing. Your destiny

241
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: is too important, your assignment too valuable to play around

242
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: with things that are gonna limit you. The scripture says

243
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: you are a chosen people, set apart and called by God.

244
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: One version says a peculiar people, not weird, but different.

245
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: You're supposed to stand out. You're supposed to be the exception.

246
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: Everyone else is compromising, not you. You've been set apart.

247
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: When Joel all my coworkers complain, bad mouth the company,

248
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: they all show up late and cut corners. That's fine,

249
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: you're not responsible for their life. But that's not who

250
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: you are. You're a cut above. You've been called to

251
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: live with integrity, honesty, and excellence. When they're complaining, don't

252
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: let that poison get in. You don't join in and

253
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: add to the problem. Be a part of the solution.

254
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: Be grateful that you have a job lord. I want

255
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: to thank you that you bless me with this position.

256
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: They come in late, be the exception. You get there early.

257
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: You do more than you have to, Paul said in

258
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: Second Corinthians come out from among them and be separate.

259
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: Says the Lord. God is not looking for the crowd

260
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: for what everyone is doing. He's looking for people that

261
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: will separate themselves, that will live consecrated, Holy excellent, not

262
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: doing as little as they can to get by that

263
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: people who go the extra mile. I like to watch football,

264
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: and the quarterback will get the ball and he'll look

265
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: out for a receiver, someone he can throw it to.

266
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: That receiver has a defender, someone on the other team

267
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: that's covering him, trying not to let him catch the ball.

268
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: The defender will stay as close as possible, even bumping

269
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: against him. The receiver's whole job is to create separation.

270
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: He's trying to lose the defender to get open the

271
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: quarterback will be able to throw him the ball. The

272
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: quarterback is ready to pass it. He's standing there waiting.

273
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: It's up to the receiver to break away to create

274
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: space so he can receive that pass. It's the same principle.

275
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: God is the quarterback. He's ready to pass you the favor,

276
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: the healing, the abundance, But you have to do your

277
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: part and create separation. You have to get away from

278
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: the crowd, the compromisers, the complainers, the naysayers, the jealous people.

279
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: If you'll come out from among them, choose to live

280
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: by a higher standard, then you'll be open, ready to

281
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: receive the great wonders of our God. A few days

282
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: before Joshua told the people to purify themselves, he sent

283
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: spies into Jericho to see what the city was like.

284
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: And they looked around, got the information they needed. But

285
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: before they could leave, word god out that they were there.

286
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: The police were going everywhere trying to find them, knocking

287
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: on door after door. It was a lady that lived

288
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: there named Rayhab. She was a prostitute. She took the

289
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 1: spies into her house and hid them. She knew they

290
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: were Israelites. She told them, we're all afraid of your God.

291
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: We know he's all powerful and we cannot stand against him.

292
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: The authorities came knocking on her door and ask if

293
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: she's seen the men. She said no, they were here earlier,

294
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 1: but they left before the city gates shut. You can

295
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: probably catch them if you'll go chasing after them. The

296
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: whole time, she had them hidden upstairs underneath the straw

297
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: on her roof. Well, Rahab had lived a life that

298
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: she wasn't pleased with. She didn't feel valuable. She was

299
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: looking down on But when those spies showed up, something

300
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: came alive on the inside. She thought, this is not

301
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: who I am. I wasn't created to live in shame

302
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: and compromise. She told the spies, I'll hide you, but

303
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: when you come back to take the city, you have

304
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: to promise that you'll save me and my family. She

305
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: was saying, in effect, I believe in your God, the

306
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. When the walls of

307
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: Jericho fell, all the people were defeated except Rahab and

308
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: her family. She went with the Israelites into the Promised Land.

309
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: She later had children. Her great grandson was Boaz, who

310
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: married Ruth. You remember Ruth was David's grandmother. That means

311
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: that Rahab, this former prostitute, is in the family line

312
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: of Jesus. It all started when she made that decision

313
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: to purify herself. God is showing us through Rahab that

314
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: you're never too far gone. You're never too impure, too addicted,

315
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: too rough, too angry. You can still become who you

316
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: were created to be. So you have to do like her,

317
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: make that decision to separate yourself, to get away from

318
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: bad influences, to quit dwelling on unworthy, not valuable thoughts,

319
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: to release all the toxins that are polluting your spirit.

320
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: It may not be something big like rayhab, but a

321
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: sour attitude can keep you from your destiny. Being critical,

322
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: finding fault all the time, that's poisoning your future. The

323
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit doesn't condemn us, but he will convict us.

324
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: Condemnation pushes you down, makes you feel bad, but conviction

325
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: challenges you to come up higher. You feel that uneasiness,

326
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: that unrest saying, hey, this jealousy is not who you are.

327
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: Be happy for them. That's God saying purify yourself. Don't

328
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: ignore it, deal with it, or you'll hear that still

329
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: small voice saying, hey, quit being so harsh with your

330
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: family there. Quit letting that coworker steal your joy. Every

331
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: day God corrects his children. He's going to challenge you

332
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: in areas where you may be comfortable for a season

333
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: that was okay, but he's calling you up higher. What

334
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: was fine five years ago is not fine now. He's

335
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: about to do greater wonders. So he's saying there has

336
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: to be a higher level of consecration. Who you used

337
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: to hang around with that was okay, but not now,

338
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: not for where you're about to go. What you used

339
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: to watch that season is over. You're stepping into greater things.

340
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: Now you have to have greater separation. The ball God

341
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: is about to throw you is something you've never seen

342
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: your promised land. Are you prepared? Have you purified yourself?

343
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: The scripture says, in a large house there are vessels

344
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: of wood and clay used for ordinary purposes, and some

345
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: of silver and gold use for honorable purposes. If any

346
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: person will cleanse themselves from what is dishonorable, he will

347
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: be a vessel set apart, useful to the Master for

348
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: his highest purposes. Let's not get stuck being wood and clay.

349
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: That's fine for a while, we all start off that way.

350
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: But we should be growing. We should be better this

351
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: year than we were last year. Not the same bad

352
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: attitude dragging me down, Not giving into the same temptation,

353
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: the same guilt cloud in my future, the same hurt

354
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: poisoning my dream. Those are toxins keeping you from the

355
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: great wonders God has in store. And again, nobody can

356
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: do this, accept you, purify yourself. Rahab did it. After

357
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: years of compromise, she still reached her destiny. You can too.

358
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: Are there any areas that you know are limiting you?

359
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: Maybe things you've grown up with now you've accepted today

360
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: can be the turning point. You're not a vessel of

361
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: wood a vessel of clay. I'm looking at vessels of gold,

362
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: used for God's highest purposes, ready for his great wonders.

363
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: So already scheduled it. Now do your part, separate yourself,

364
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: create some more room for God to bless you. I

365
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: never dreamed I would be up here. God has opened

366
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: doors and given me favor and opportunity like I've never imagined.

367
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: But with that promotion comes opposition. People that don't understand

368
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: you try to mischaracterize you. It'd be easy to let

369
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: that poison get in me where I live defensive and upset,

370
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: trying to pay people back. I've learned the importance of

371
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: keeping my heart pure. If your heart gets contaminated, it

372
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: will affect everything about you, your relationships, your attitude, your vision.

373
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: That's why the scripture says guard your heart, for out

374
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: of it flow the issues of life. I've learned on

375
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 1: a daily basis. The importance of a release, a cleansing.

376
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: Just like with the physical, you have to eliminate any worry,

377
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: any guilt, any compromise, let all that go so you

378
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: can keep your heart pure, so you can enjoy the day,

379
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: love your family, and pursue your dreams. While back, I

380
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: was at the hospital in the lobby at the medical center,

381
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: and this couple came up and the husband asked if

382
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: I would go pray for his father. He'd had surgery

383
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: and was recovering very slowly. I told him I would,

384
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: and we walked a long way across the street to

385
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: a different wing. Finally arrived at this hospital door. They said,

386
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: we'll stay out here, you just go in and surprise him.

387
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: I thought, I don't know about that. I'm gonna walk

388
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: in on this man I've never met. They said, oh,

389
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: come on, he'll love it. And I went in. He's

390
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: about seventy five years old. He didn't say a word,

391
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: he just looked at me as unexcited as could be.

392
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: I started encouraging, telling him that God is our healer

393
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: and he's gonna come out. And then I prayed a

394
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: strong prayer, declared faith and healing. When I finished, I

395
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: leaned over and gave him a hug and walked out

396
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: of the room. His children said, what did he do?

397
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: I said, he just laid there and looked at me.

398
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: They said, Oh, that's great, because he doesn't like you.

399
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: He always makes fun of us when we watch you.

400
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: I thought, if I had known that, i'd pray something different.

401
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: God take the old goat home. But what am I saying?

402
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: On a daily basis? You have to release the offense.

403
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: Release what someone said. Y'all still laughing, aren't you? I

404
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: wasn't laughing. I was embarrassed. But anyway, release the jealousy.

405
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: Don't let the sun go down without an elimination. Purifying

406
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: yourself of any toxins, things you know are gonna weigh

407
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: you down. Listen, God is the quarterback. He has the favor,

408
00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: the increase, the opportunities, but he's looking for separation, looking

409
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: for those that will come out from among them. Not

410
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: that fit in. That's wood and clay. That's not who

411
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: you are. You're a vessel of gold. You have greatness

412
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: in you. God has his amazing wonders already on your schedule.

413
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: Now do your part and purify yourself. If you'll do this,

414
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: I believe and declare like Joshua Jordan, rivers are about

415
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: to part for you. Doors open and you couldn't open

416
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: like Rahab. Restoration, honor, influence levels that you never saw

417
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: coming in Jesus' name, And if you receive it, can

418
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: you say amen? I'd like to give you an opportunity

419
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: to make Jesus the Lord of your life. Would you

420
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of

421
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: my sins. Come into my heart. I make you my

422
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, we

423
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: believe you got born again. We loved us. Send you

424
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: some free information on your new walk with the Lord.

425
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: You can text the number on the screen or go

426
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: to the website. But I hope you'll get into a

427
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: good Bible based church and keep God first place.

428
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: It's a new year. Time to see the impossible become possible.

429
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: It's a new year. Life setbacks are about to become

430
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: God's setups for new opportunity. It's a new year cherished

431
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: dreams will become unexpected reality.

432
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: The start of the new year is the perfect time

433
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: to reset your focus, release disappointments of the past, and

434
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: get ready for the new things God has in store.

435
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: Every January we create a new three hundred and sixty

Speaker 1: to fuel your faith. When you begin the day thanking
