Speaker 3: we'll make you feel right at home. I like to

42
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: start with something funny, and I heard about this eighty

43
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: five year old man. He was out fishing one morning

44
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: he heard a voice saying pick me up. He looked around,

45
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 3: didn't see anybody. He thought he was dreaming. He heard

46
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: it again, pick me up. He looked down and saw

47
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 3: a frog. He said in amazement, are you talking to me?

48
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: The frog said yes, pick me up and kiss me,

49
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: and I'll turn into a beautiful bride. The man quickly

50
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 3: picked him up put him in his front pocket. Frog said,

51
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 3: wait a minute, I said, kiss me and I'll turn

52
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 3: into a bride. The man said, no, thanks. At my age,

53
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: I'd rather have a talking frog say it like you

54
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it

55
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: says I am. I have what it says I have.

56
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: I can do what it says I can do. Today

57
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: I will be taught the word of God. They confess.

58
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

59
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

60
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: I want to talk to you today about the good Father.

61
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 3: Many of us were raised by fathers that were loving

62
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: and kind. They guided us and did their best to

63
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: make sure that we had everything that we needed. But

64
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 3: no matter how good our father was, people are not perfect.

65
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: They make mistakes. There are times they can let us down,

66
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: maybe not give us what we needed. Some fathers they

67
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: meant well, but they weren't affectionate. They never told you

68
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: that they loved you. They were proud of you. They

69
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: corrected you, they made sure you stayed on the right path,

70
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: but they didn't express their love. The problem was their

71
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: father most likely did the same thing to them. They

72
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: never heard I love you, They never saw it modeled.

73
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: You can't give away what you don't have. Friend of

74
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: mine in high school his father struggled with alcohol. He

75
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: was a good man, fun to be around, until he

76
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: started drinking. Then he would become abusive and violent. More

77
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: than once, my friend had to protect his mother from

78
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: his father's violent rage. He said to me, why can't

79
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 3: my dad just be normal? Why do I have to

80
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: deal with this? He was starting to become angry and bitter.

81
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 3: Most fathers never planned on messing up their children. They

82
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: didn't set out to make it more difficult pass down dysfunction.

83
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: But like throwing a pebble on a calm lake, their

84
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 3: decisions affect those around them. You can't help it. You've

85
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 3: been impacted by the people that raised you. The good

86
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: news is the good Father, your heavenly father, has taken

87
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: all this into account. He knew who your parents would be,

88
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 3: he knew what you wouldn't get, he knew what wouldn't

89
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 3: be fair. He's already designed a plan with this in

90
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 3: mind to get you to your destiny. You may have

91
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: been raised around dysfunction, addictions, abuse, poverty, but that does

92
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 3: not have to stop you. That's where you come from,

93
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 3: That's not who you are. You are a child of

94
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 3: the most high God. Your earthly father may have fallen short,

95
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 3: disappointed you didn't give you what you needed, but your

96
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: heavenly father, the Good Father, will never let you down.

97
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 3: He's the friend that sticks closer than a brother. Maybe

98
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 3: your earthly father never gave you his approval, but the

99
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 3: Good Father is saying, I'm proud of you. I love you.

100
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: You're my son, you're my daughter. People may have tried

101
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: to push you down, made you feel less than, but

102
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: the Good Father is saying you're a masterpiece. You're a

103
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 3: prize possession. You've been fearfully and wonderfully made. Now, don't

104
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: stay focused on what your earthly father did or didn't

105
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: give you. Don't live bitter because people put you at

106
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: a disadvantage. They weren't there for you. Start going to

107
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 3: the Good Father. I know a young man. His father

108
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 3: left his mother when he was a baby. He never

109
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: heard from him. When he was in his twenties, he

110
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: tracked his father down and found out he lived in

111
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: another state. He called so excited, said Dad, can I

112
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: come see you? His father reluctantly agreed. He had this

113
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: longing to be in relationship with his father and show

114
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 3: him who he had become. He traveled a great distance,

115
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: but when he knocked on the door, the father wouldn't answer.

116
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: He had changed his mind and wouldn't see him. This

117
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 3: young man was so devastated it was alight. A part

118
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 3: of him died on the inside. Painful to be rejected

119
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: by anyone, but especially by your own father. When you've

120
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: been raised in a dysfunctional environment, it's easy to become

121
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 3: negative and think, God, why was I born into this family?

122
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: Why wasn't my father around? Or why was there so

123
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: much arguing, addictions, abuse? Why didn't these people give me

124
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: what I needed? It may not have been fair, but

125
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 3: the Good Father has taken that all into account. What

126
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: you wouldn't get, who would hurt you, what wouldn't work out?

127
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 3: It may seem like it's put you at a disadvantage.

128
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: But that has not stopped God's plan. When he laid

129
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 3: out the path for your life, he took into consideration

130
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: the pain, the bad breaks, the rejection, no matter how

131
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 3: wrong it was, no matter who wasn't there for you.

132
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: Don't use it as an excuse to live bitter, to

133
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: give up on dream, to settle for mediocrity. Well, Joel,

134
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: my dad wasn't around like yours was. Or my dad

135
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 3: was harsh and abusive. He didn't treat me right. If

136
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: you'll start going to the Good Father, if you'll get

137
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: your approval, your affirmation, your love from him, then despite

138
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: what your earthly father did or didn't do, the Good

139
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: Father will make it up to you. The Good Father

140
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: will pay you back for the injustice. The Good Father

141
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 3: will help you not only overcome, but he'll show you

142
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: favor that will thrust you years ahead. Jesus said, it

143
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: is the Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

144
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: The Good Father takes good pleasure in making your wrongs right.

145
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 3: He takes good pleasure in giving you what people could

146
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 3: not give you. Like this, young man, people may have

147
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: put you at a disadvantage. God is saying, get ready,

148
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: I'm about to make it up to you. I'm going

149
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 3: to give you more opportunity, more influence, more resources, more

150
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: fulfillment than if it had never happened. A friend of

151
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 3: mine was raised in an unhealthy environment. Her father wasn't

152
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: in her life and her mother wasn't stable. She was

153
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 3: bipolar and struggled with depression. She'd been married multiple times.

154
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: This young lady, as a child saw things that she

155
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: should have never seen, boyfriends in and out, fights and

156
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 3: verbal abuse. She felt alone and afraid. Fifteen years old,

157
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 3: she left the house and went out on her own.

158
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: All the odds were against her. She could have become

159
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: a statistic passed down the same dysfunction. Psalm sixty eight

160
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: says God will be a father to the fatherless. God

161
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 3: sees when you don't have someone watching after you, someone

162
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: protecting you. He sees when you've been put in un

163
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: situations where you didn't have a choice, you were born

164
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 3: into it. This young lady had given her life to

165
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 3: the Lord. At the age of twelve, she made a

166
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 3: decision that she wasn't going to pass down the same

167
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: dysfunction to her children. She was going to break the

168
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: generational curse. In the natural, she didn't have a chance.

169
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 3: But the Good Father, the father to the fatherless, began

170
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 3: to cause people to be good to her. This man

171
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: went out of his way gave her a job at

172
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 3: a fast food restaurant. He started watching after her like

173
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: she was his own daughter. This young lady paid her

174
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: way through nursing school. She was hired at the local hospital.

175
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 3: She met a doctor there. They fell in love and

176
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: got married. Today she's not only extremely blessed, but she's

177
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 3: raising her children in a loving, healthy, faith filled environment.

178
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: The Good Father helped or break the generational curse and

179
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: start a generational blessing. You may have a thousand reasons

180
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 3: to live negative, bitter God, Why did this happen? It

181
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: wasn't fair. God has taken into account everything you didn't get,

182
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: every bad break, every person that did you wrong. If

183
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 3: you'll do like her and keep moving forward, the Good

184
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: Father will open doors no man can shut. The Good

185
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 3: Father will bring the right people. The Good Father will

186
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 3: cause you to go where you could not go on

187
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: your own. Joshua chapter five. The Israelites had just crossed

188
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: the Jordan River. They were camped outside the city of Jericho.

189
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 3: This was the last obstacle between them and their promised land.

190
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: Their parents had wandered in the desert for forty years.

191
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: They never did make it in. But God was about

192
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 3: to fulfill his promise and take their children in. But

193
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 3: there was one last thing the men had to do.

194
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 3: God told Joshua take a knife and circumcise this new

195
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 3: generation of Israelites. These men, this new generation, were in

196
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 3: their twenties and thirties. They were supposed to be circumcised

197
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: when they were eight days old by their fathers. But

198
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 3: because their fathers didn't do what they were supposed to

199
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 3: when they were supposed to, now these grown men were

200
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 3: having to be circumcised, not by their fathers. Their fathers

201
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: had passed. God told Joshua to do it. When you

202
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: don't get what you should have as a child, it

203
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 3: can be much more painful to get as an adult.

204
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: At eight days old, you don't remember it. You cry

205
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: for a little while, and then you're done. But these

206
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: grown men were having to endure pain that could have

207
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 3: been avoided if their fathers would have carried out their responsibilities.

208
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 3: You may be dealing with things today that your father

209
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 3: could have taken care of. If your father would have

210
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: told you that he's proud of you. You wouldn't be

211
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 3: working three jobs trying to prove to him that you're talented,

212
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: trying to earn his life, or if your father would

213
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 3: have paid attention to you, made you feel special, made

214
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 3: you feel like a princess. You wouldn't go from man

215
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: to man trying to get the approval that your father

216
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 3: should have given you. These men were all circumcised. They

217
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: had to go through pain because of what their fathers

218
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: didn't do. But when they came to Jericho, the last obstacle,

219
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 3: God didn't tell them to go break through the walls,

220
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 3: go jump over the walls, go attack the city. God

221
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 3: knew they were hurting. He knew they were dealing with

222
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 3: things they shouldn't have had to deal with things that

223
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: weren't their fault. He didn't say, too bad, your parents

224
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 3: should have obeyed me. Don't get mad at me, blame them. No,

225
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 3: God took their pain into consideration. He told them, all

226
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 3: I want you to do is march around the walls

227
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 3: one time and then rest. Do it one time the

228
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 3: next day, and then rest. This is the only place

229
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 3: in the scripture where God had them take a city

230
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: by simply walking around the walls. On the seventh day

231
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 3: when they marched around, let out that shout. The walls

232
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 3: came tumbling down. They took the city, made it to

233
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 3: the Promised Land. God knows what you didn't get, He

234
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 3: knows who wasn't there when you needed them. He knows

235
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 3: who should have been more responsible. And the good news

236
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 3: is God is going to make it easier on you

237
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: because of the people that did you wrong. There are

238
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 3: battles you won't have to fight, walls you won't have

239
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: to break down because the Good Father is watching after you.

240
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: He's designed a plan for a wounded man, a wounded

241
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: woman to still take the city, for someone that's been

242
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 3: through hurts, abuse, dysfunction, to still accomplished dreams, to still

243
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: have great relationships, to still live a blessed, fulfilled life.

244
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 3: If we're honest, we've all been wounded in some way.

245
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 3: People do us wrong. Sometimes even good people may not

246
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 3: give us what we needed. Don't get discouraged. God has

247
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 3: a plan. He had Joshua do what their fathers should

248
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 3: have done. The people that should have done it for

249
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 3: you may not be here, but God has a Joshua

250
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 3: for you. He's going to send the right people to

251
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: make up for what you didn't give. I talked to

252
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: a man after the service. His father was killed in

253
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 3: an accident when he was two years old. He said, Joel,

254
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: the reason I listened to you every week is when

255
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 3: I hear you speak, I feel like my father is

256
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: giving me a hug. I can hear him telling me

257
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: I'm proud of you. I loved you. Keep going strong

258
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 3: as God using me as a Joshua. The Good Father

259
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 3: knows what you didn't get. He's going to send the

260
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: right people to bless you, to encourage you to open

261
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: up a door. It may not have been fair, they

262
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 3: didn't do what they should have. Don't get bitter. Joshua

263
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: is coming. Help is coming, Ease is coming. The Good

264
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: Father is watching after you. There was a young man

265
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 3: in a dysfunctional environment. His parents met in rehab. They

266
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 3: both struggled with addictions. They weren't in any position to

267
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: have a baby, but this young man came along. They

268
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 3: saw him as a mistake, an accident. But God knew

269
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 3: what he was doing before you were formed in your

270
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: mother's wound. God not only knew you, but he knew

271
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 3: who your parents would be. He knew what family you

272
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: would be born into. He's already come up with a

273
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 3: plan for you to overcome every obstacle. He's already designed

274
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 3: the strategy for you to break out of the mold

275
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 3: and set a new standard. He's already lined up your

276
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: joshuas the right people to help give you what you

277
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 3: didn't get. This young man never hurt his father, say

278
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 3: that he loved him, or that he was proud of him.

279
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 3: In his teens, his father walked out of his life

280
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 3: when he needed him the most. He was dealing with abandonment, rejection.

281
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 3: At eighteen. He was so confused, so distraught, He went

282
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 3: into his basement and got his shotgun out. He was

283
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 3: an avid hunter, very experienced with guns. He pointed the

284
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 3: barrel toward his head, pulled the trigger, but the gun

285
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 3: didn't go off. He was puzzled, couldn't figure it out.

286
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 3: He reset everything, double checked it, pulled the trigger again,

287
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: still wouldn't go off. At that moment, he felt a

288
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 3: presence filled the room with love like he had never

289
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: felt before. He said, it was like I could hear

290
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: God saying to me, You're valuable, I need you, I

291
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: love you. What his earthly father didn't give him, he

292
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 3: could hear his heavenly father giving him that day. Strongholds

293
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 3: were broken in his mind. Like him, Maybe you faced abandonment, disappointments,

294
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: bad breaks, abuse. It doesn't have to stop you. You

295
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 3: may be wounded. The people that should have been empowering

296
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 3: you speaking life to you did just the opposite. But

297
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: God has a plan for the wounded to still do

298
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 3: great things. People may have rejected you, but God has

299
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 3: accepted you. They may call you a mistake. God calls

300
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 3: you a masterpiece. They may have left you out. God

301
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 3: has not forgotten about you. He has you in the

302
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 3: palm of his hand. He's going to make up for

303
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 3: what you didn't get today. That young man, he's the

304
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 3: pastor of a church in another state doing great things.

305
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 3: People can't stop your destiny. How you were raised, what

306
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 3: family you come from, Who did you wrong? God has

307
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 3: taken that all into account. Don't live with a victim mentality.

308
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: People may not have given you what they should have.

309
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 3: But the Good Father, the God who knew you before

310
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 3: you were born, He's not only going to make it

311
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 3: up to you, but he's going to make the enemy

312
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: pay and bring you out better than if it had

313
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 3: never happened. In the scripture, there's a young man named Ishmael.

314
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 3: He's the child that Abraham had out of wedlock with

315
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 3: his maid Hagar. God promised Abraham and Sarah a baby,

316
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 3: but they got in a hurry tried to help God out,

317
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 3: and Ishmael was born, but he wasn't the promised child.

318
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: This coused all all kinds of strife and division. Sarah

319
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 3: was mad at Abraham. She started treating Hagar badly. Abraham

320
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 3: was trying to keep both women happy. You know that's impossible.

321
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: Year after year went by with all this dysfunction, Sarah

322
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 3: finally had her baby, Isaac, the promised child was born.

323
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 3: When she had this child, she realized she didn't need

324
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 3: Hagar anymore, and she didn't want Ishmael around. Every time

325
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 3: she saw Ishmael, he reminded her of Abraham's mistake. Ishmael

326
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 3: had to pay the price for something he had nothing

327
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 3: to do with. Sometimes it's not that people don't like you.

328
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: They don't like who you remind them of. They're disrespectful,

329
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 3: they're short with you because of who your father is,

330
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 3: because of a relative. They had a fallen out, a

331
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 3: break up. Now you're caught between the two. And Sarah

332
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 3: was so upset. She told Abraham to send Hagar and

333
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 3: Ishmael away. He wasn't going to do it until the

334
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 3: Lord came to him and said, listen to your wife

335
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 3: and do it. I can imagine Ishmael was outside playing

336
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 3: with his brother Isaac. Then Abraham came over said, Ishmael,

337
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 3: come with me. You and your mother are going on

338
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 3: a trip. Ismael was confused, thinking that's strange. Abraham sent

339
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: them out into the desert with a loaf of bread

340
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 3: and a bottle of water. Now Abraham was a wealthy man.

341
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 3: He could have sent them out with animals, with a

342
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: large food supply, with help, so they could make it

343
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 3: at least to the next city. But he sent them

344
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: out basically with a sandwich and a bottle of water.

345
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 3: Put yourself in Ishmael's shoes. He didn't do anything wrong.

346
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 3: He didn't choose to be born into this dysfunctional family.

347
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: He couldn't help it that he wasn't the promised child.

348
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 3: He couldn't change the fact that he reminded Sarah of

349
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: Abraham's mistake, all these things that he had no control over.

350
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 3: It looked like he had been dealt an unfair hand.

351
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 3: Like Ishmael, you may have come into situations that put

352
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: you at a disadvantage. Where there was dysfunction, abuse, poverty.

353
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 3: You couldn't help it, you were born into it. Now

354
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 3: you're having to deal with consequences from other people's poor choices.

355
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 3: Stay encouraged. The Good Father sees what's happening. God is

356
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 3: a god of justice. It's not how you start that matters,

357
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 3: it's how you finish. The odds may be against you,

358
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 3: but the most High God is for you. Ishmael went

359
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 3: out into the desert abandoned, confused, rejected. The man he

360
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: had known it his father, the man that had taken

361
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: care of him, guided for him, suddenly turned on him,

362
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 3: said I don't want you in my life anymore. In

363
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 3: a few days, he and his mom ran out of food,

364
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 3: ran out of water. They were about to die. Hagar

365
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: sent Ishmael over by himself. She didn't want to see

366
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: him starve to death. If this was the end of

367
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 3: the story, we could try to justify it by saying, well,

368
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 3: he was Abraham's mistake, he wasn't the promised child. That

369
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 3: would make sense if God wasn't the good Father. Out

370
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 3: in the desert alone, forsaken, Ishmael began to cry. The

371
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 3: scripture says God heard the cries of Ishmael, not the

372
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 3: cries of his mom, not the cries of Abraham. God

373
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 3: heard the cries of this young man born into dysfunction,

374
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 3: with all kinds of things that he had no control over.

375
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 3: What did God say, too bad, Ishmael, You got the

376
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 3: wrong family, You came one child too soon. Just accept it.

377
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: God had a plan for this young man. He said, Ishmael,

378
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 3: I'm going to bring out of you a great nation,

379
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 3: even though he wasn't the promised child, even though his

380
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 3: parents made a mess of his life. God said, in effect, Ishmael,

381
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 3: I've seen all the injustice. I know you've had bad breaks.

382
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: I know people put you at a disadvantage. But don't worry.

383
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 3: I'm going to make it up to you. I'm going

384
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 3: to do something great with your life. I'm going to

385
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 3: bring a nation out of you. God was showing us

386
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 3: that even if you have parents that blew it, even

387
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 3: if you had people that put you at a disadvantage addictions, abuse, poverty,

388
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 3: you had no control, don't get discouraged. God knows how

389
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 3: to bring greatness out of a great mess. If you'll

390
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 3: do like Ishmael and not complain not give up on

391
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 3: a dream now, this is not fair. Instead, go to God.

392
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 3: If you'll do this the good Father, he'll not only

393
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 3: hear your call, but he'll make more out of your

394
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 3: life than you've ever imagined. If Ishmael were standing here today,

395
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: he would tell you. You may have had bad breaks.

396
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 3: Life may have dealt you an unfair hand, but it

397
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 3: doesn't have to stop. You don't live with a victim mentality.

398
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 3: We can all find some reason to let what's happened

399
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 3: in the past limit our future. Abraham was the father

400
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 3: of faith, but he didn't treat his son right. A

401
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 3: good person may have done you wrong. People are human,

402
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 3: They make mistakes. Why don't you let them off the hook.

403
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 3: Quit trying to make people pay you back, and go

404
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 3: to God and he'll pay you back. God knows how

405
00:25:55,040 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 3: to bring greatness out of dysfunction. That means great relationships,

406
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 3: great talent, great opportunities, great success. Nineteen seventy three, a

407
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 3: baby boy was born in Cincinnati to a young African

408
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 3: American mother and her husband. The relationship was very rocky

409
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: and the father didn't live at home. These parents divorced

410
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 3: when the little boy was four years old. This father

411
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 3: wasn't involved with his son. He never attended his events.

412
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 3: In fact, the young man only saw his father four

413
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 3: times in his life. He wasn't popular in school. He

414
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 3: was made fun of because of his looks. He had

415
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 3: a disease that caused him to lose his hair. He

416
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 3: felt alone and forsaken, but the good Father was watching

417
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 3: after him. Even though his earthly father wasn't involved. He

418
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 3: had an amazing mother. She would take him to church

419
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 3: every week, pray over him, speak life into his destiny.

420
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: At thirteen years of age, sitting in church, he felt

421
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: the call to preach. At twenty one, he took a

422
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 3: step of faith and preached his first sermon. Today, twenty

423
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: years later, our own John Gray is speaking to the world,

424
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 3: touching millions of people. You may have had a rough start.

425
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 3: The odds are against you. The good Father sees what's happening.

426
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 3: He knows what you didn't get. He knows who wasn't

427
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 3: there for you. He's taken into consideration the hurt, the loneliness,

428
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 3: the bad breaks. He has a plan not to just

429
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 3: bring you out, but to bring you out better. Now.

430
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 3: Don't live with a victim mentality, don't give up on

431
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: your dreams. There may be some dysfunction in your past,

432
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 3: we all have some, but the Good Father has amazing

433
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 3: things in your future.

434
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 2: Now.

435
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 3: I believe and declare, like Ishmael, God is going to

436
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 3: bring greatness out of a great mess, Like the Israelites,

437
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 3: He's going to bring down walls easier than you thought.

438
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 3: And like John, He's going to be a father to

439
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 3: the fatherless and take you to the fullness of your destiny.

440
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 3: In Jesus' name, if you receive it, can you say amen,

441
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 3: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus

442
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 3: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

443
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 3: Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent of my sins. Come

444
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 3: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior.

445
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 3: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

446
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 3: born again. Get in a good Bible based church, Keep

447
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:36,840

456
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 6: With millions of books on Amazon, there's a reading feeling

457
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 6: for everyone. For example, Raquel's WHOA when she first entered

458
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 6: the Kingdom by Dragonback is different to Ari's WHOA when

459
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 6: he found out there was more than one crime scene,
