Speaker 4: best of I hope you enjoy the podcast. Oh God

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 4: so much for tuning in, and thank you again for

45
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 4: coming out today. And I like to start with something funny,

46
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 4: and I heard about these three pastors. They were in

47
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 4: a boat together one day fishing. One of the pastors said,

48
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: we never get to let our hair down. Let's each

49
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 4: tell the area that we struggle in the most, our

50
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 4: greatest sin, so we can pray for each other. The

51
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 4: first pastor said, I hate to admit this, but I

52
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 4: have a problem with gambling. Sometimes I sneak out at

53
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 4: night and gamble. The second pastor said, I'm ashamed to

54
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 4: admit this, but I have a problem with cheating. I

55
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 4: hardly ever pay my taxes. The third pastor sat there silently.

56
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 4: They waited and waited, and what he wouldn't budge. They said,

57
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 4: we're not leaving until you tell us your greatest sin.

58
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 4: He said, all right, My greatest sin is with gossip,

59
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 4: and I can't wait to get off this boat. Hold

60
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 4: up your Bible, say it like you mean it. This

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 4: is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

62
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do

63
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today, I will be

64
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: talked the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

65
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

66
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 4: the same in Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

67
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 4: to talk to you today about how you have what

68
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: you need. It's easy to think if I had more money,

69
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 4: I could accomplish my dreams. If I had a bigger house,

70
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 4: then I'd be happy. If I had more talent, better personality,

71
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 4: if I knew the right people, then I could do

72
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 4: something great. But as long as you feel like you're lacking,

73
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 4: you don't have enough, you were shortchanged, then you'll make

74
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: excuses to be less than your best. You've got to

75
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: have a new perspective. God has giving you exactly what

76
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 4: you need for the season that you're in. You have

77
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,559
Speaker 4: the talent, the friends, the connections, the resources, the experience

78
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 4: you need for right now. Does it mean that's all

79
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: you're ever going to have. You may need more next

80
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 4: month or next year. When that time comes, God will

81
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 4: make sure that you have more then. Psalm thirty four

82
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 4: says those who trust in the Lord will never lack

83
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 4: any good thing. Because your trust is in the Lord,

84
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 4: you don't have to worry. Whatever you need, God will

85
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 4: make sure you have it when you need it. You

86
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 4: won't lack any good thing. This means if you don't

87
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 4: have it right now, don't fight it. Don't be discouraged.

88
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 4: You don't need it right now. Our attitude should be

89
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 4: I'm equipped, empowered, and anointed for this moment. I am

90
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 4: not lacking, shortchanged, inadequate, missing out less than I have

91
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 4: what I need for today. This approach is so much

92
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 4: better than thinking if I just had the finances, if

93
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 4: the loan would have gone through, if they would have

94
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: been my friend, if I had a better personality. Listen,

95
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: if you needed a better personality, God would have given

96
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 4: you a better personality. God wasn't having a bad day

97
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 4: when he created you. If you needed more talent, God

98
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 4: would have given you more talent. If you needed more friends,

99
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 4: you would have more friends. Take what you have and

100
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 4: make the most of it. It's what you need for

101
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 4: right now. Years ago, I used to think if we

102
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: had a bigger building, if we had more members, if

103
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 4: I could minister better, if I had more experience. There

104
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 4: was always something I didn't have, or I couldn't do,

105
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 4: some reason I couldn't feel good about myself. One day

106
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 4: I realized what I'm telling you. I have what I

107
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 4: need for the season that I'm in right now. I

108
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 4: have the strength that I need for today. It may

109
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 4: not be enough strength for tomorrow. But that's okay. When

110
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: that day comes, God will give me strength for tomorrow.

111
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 4: I have the talent, the qualifications, the experience I need

112
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 4: for right now. It may not be as much as

113
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 4: somebody else has, but that's okay. I'm not competing with them.

114
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 4: I'm competing with myself to become the best me that

115
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 4: I can possibly be. Someone wrote an article one time

116
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 4: that talked about how I haven't been dis seminaryan how

117
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 4: I wasn't qualified to lead a large ministry. First that

118
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 4: kind of bothered me. Then I read in Galatians One

119
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 4: where the apostle Paul, who wrote over half of the

120
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 4: New Testament, said, I was not appointed by any group

121
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 4: or by human authority. My call is from God, who

122
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 4: raised Jesus from the death. Listen. People may not approve you,

123
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 4: don't worry about it. God approves you. People didn't call you.

124
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 4: People don't determine your destiny. People can't stop God's plan

125
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 4: for your life. God called you, God equipped you, God

126
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: anointed you. When you come to the end of your life,

127
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 4: you don't have to answer to people. You'll answer to

128
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 4: Almighty God. Don't let what some person says or does

129
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 4: make you feel less than unqualified. You've been handpicked by

130
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 4: the creator of the universe. You are lacking nothing for

131
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 4: the season that you're in right now. Now, quit thinking

132
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 4: about all the things that you don't have, all the

133
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 4: things that you wish were different. Joel, all I have

134
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 4: is this old car. I'm depressed. No, have a new attitude.

135
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 4: This old car is all I need right now. God

136
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: is on the throne directed my steps. When I need more,

137
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 4: He'll give me more. All I have is this one friend. No,

138
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: turn it around. This one friend is all I need

139
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: for this season. I'm not gonna sit around in self pity.

140
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 4: When I need more friends, God will give me more friends.

141
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 4: All I have is this low level job. You No,

142
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 4: that's all I need right now. When it's my time

143
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: to be promoted, nothing can stand against my God. I

144
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 4: will be promoted. But in the meantime, I'm gonna keep

145
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 4: being my best right where I am. This is an

146
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 4: empowering way to live, not making excuses feeling short changed.

147
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 4: If I just had more money, Listen, If you needed

148
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 4: more money to fulfill your destiny right now and God

149
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 4: withholds it, he wouldn't be a just God. The truth

150
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 4: is God has already lined up, the right people, the

151
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 4: right opportunities, the finances, the wisdom, the good breaks, the

152
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 4: protection you need. It's in your future. As long as

153
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 4: you keep honoring God, he will give you what you

154
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 4: need when you need it. That means if you don't

155
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: have it right now, you don't need it right now.

156
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 4: My question is, will you try trust him? Will you

157
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 4: keep a good attitude and be your best, even though

158
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 4: it's taken longer than you thought, even though the problem

159
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 4: hasn't turned around, even though a dream hasn't come to pass.

160
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 4: If you will be faithful right where you are, knowing

161
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 4: that you have exactly what you need for the season

162
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 4: that you're in, God will get you to where you're

163
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 4: supposed to be. In Second Samuel, chapter twelve, David had

164
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 4: gotten off course. The prophet Nathan was correcting him. In

165
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 4: doing so, he reminded David of what God had brought

166
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 4: him through. David had seen God's goodness, favor, protection, finance,

167
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 4: is healing down through the years, and in verse eight,

168
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 4: Nathan made an interesting statement. He said, David, if it

169
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 4: had not been enough, God would have given you much

170
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 4: much more. In other words, David, looking back over your life,

171
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 4: if you were ever lacking. If you ever needed more wisdom,

172
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 4: more favor, more protection, more finances, God would have given

173
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 4: it to you. That tells me what I have right

174
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 4: now is what I need to fulfill my destiny. The

175
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 4: moment it becomes not enough is the moment God will

176
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 4: give you more. The moment something starts to keep you

177
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 4: from your destiny, the moment it begins to stop God's

178
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 4: plan for your life is the moment God will show up,

179
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 4: the moment God will intervene. So if it hasn't happened yet,

180
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 4: don't be discouraged thinking that it's never going to work out.

181
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 4: If it hasn't happened, you haven't needed it. When you

182
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: need it, it won't be one second late. The moment

183
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 4: you need a new friend, the moment you need a

184
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 4: good break, the moment you need an idea, it will

185
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 4: show up. Friends, God is closely watching your life. You

186
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 4: are his most prized possession, saying to you what he

187
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: said to David. If it's ever not enough, you can

188
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 4: count on me. I will always be there to give

189
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 4: you more. In nineteen fifty nine, my father was the

190
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 4: pastor of a large denominational church. They had nearly a

191
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 4: thousand members. Back then, that was a big deal. They

192
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 4: had just built a beautiful new sanctuary in my father's

193
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: future looked very bright. But one day, through a series

194
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 4: of events, he knew he was supposed to leave that

195
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 4: church and start Lakewood in the natural. He didn't have

196
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 4: a building, didn't have any organization backing him up. Most

197
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 4: of his friends thought he was making a mistake and

198
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: didn't support him. He could have made a list of

199
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: all the things that he didn't have. If he'd ha

200
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 4: stayed focused on that, he would have never moved off

201
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: a dead center. But my father took this step of

202
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 4: faith and he started Lakewood with ninety people in an

203
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 4: old run dawn feed store. But instead of thinking all

204
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 4: I have are these ninety people, his attitude was, these

205
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 4: ninety people are all I need. Instead of thinking all

206
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 4: I have is this old feed store, his attitude was,

207
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 4: this old feed store is all I need. See when

208
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 4: you realize the creator of the universe is directing your steps,

209
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 4: giving you what you need, and the moment it becomes

210
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 4: not enough, God promises to show up and give you more,

211
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 4: then you won't go around discouraged thinking, ah, it's not fair,

212
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 4: why don't I get any good breaks. When is this

213
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 4: ever going to change? Now, You'll just keep being your best,

214
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 4: honoring God. That's what my father did. Here we are today,

215
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 4: fifty four years later, Lakewood still going strong. But some

216
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 4: of you today or maybe a little discouraged because of

217
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 4: what has not happened. You're wondering when the problem's going

218
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 4: to turn around, when you're going to get that good break. Now,

219
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 4: quit being stressed over it. God has you in the

220
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: palm of his hand. He is written every day of

221
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 4: your life in his book. God knows what you need

222
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 4: when you need it, and he knows how to get

223
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 4: it to you. If you don't have something right now,

224
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 4: you didn't miss it. You didn't get short changed. God

225
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 4: didn't forget about you. As long as you're honoring Him

226
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 4: at the right time when you need it, the right

227
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 4: people will show up when you need it. The finances

228
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 4: will come when you need it. The healing, the restoration,

229
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 4: the vindication will find you if it hasn't happened yet.

230
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 4: Don't sit around sour. Have the attitude I don't need

231
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 4: it when I need it, God promises it won't be

232
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 4: one second length. In John chapter four, Jesus met a

233
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 4: Samaritan woman at a well. He asked her for something

234
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 4: to drink. She was a little surprised because in those

235
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 4: days the Jews didn't have anything to do with the Samaritans.

236
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 4: She said, how can you ask me for something to drink?

237
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 4: Jesus said, if you knew who I am, you would

238
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 4: ask of me and I would give you living water.

239
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 4: She immediately began to look in the natural. She said,

240
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 4: but sir, you don't have anything to draw water with.

241
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 4: You don't have any kind of bucket, any kind of pall.

242
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: How can you give me living water? I wonder how

243
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 4: many times we do the same thing. God tells us

244
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 4: he's going to do something great in our lives. Down deep,

245
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 4: he puts a dream on the inside that we're going

246
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 4: to rise higher. We're going to see our marriage restored,

247
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 4: We're going to get healthy again. We feel it so strongly,

248
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 4: But like her, we start looking at what we don't

249
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 4: have the way we were raised, the obstacles in our path.

250
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 4: Before long we talk ourselves out of it. Joel, I

251
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 4: can't do anything great. I don't have the talent. My

252
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 4: marriage is too far gone. The medical report is too bad.

253
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 4: Now you're just looking in the natural. But we serve

254
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 4: a supernatural God. He can take something that's ordinary, breathe

255
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 4: on it, and turn it into something that's extraordinary. You

256
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 4: can have average talent, but when God breathes on your life,

257
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 4: you will go further than people that have great talent.

258
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 4: Don't talk yourself out of it. All David had was

259
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 4: a slingshot and five smooth stones. It looked insignificant, ordinary,

260
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 4: nothing special, But God breathed on it, and he defeated

261
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 4: Goliath became the king of Israel. Sampson was surrounded by

262
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 4: a huge army. Everywhere he looked, there were horses, chariots, weapons.

263
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 4: All he had was the jawbone of a donkey. No weapon,

264
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 4: no armor, nobody backing him up. But he picked up

265
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 4: that jawbone. God breathed on it, and he defeated a

266
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 4: thousand men, the whole army. All Moses had was an

267
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 4: ordinary stick, something he found on the ground. Yet when

268
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 4: he picked it up held that rod in the air,

269
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 4: the red sea supernaturally parted. All my father had were

270
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: ninety people and an abandoned, run down feed store. Yet

271
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 4: God breed on them and did something extraordinary. Don't underestimate

272
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 4: what you have. It may look small, insignificant, compared to

273
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 4: what you're facing. It seems impossible. All the odds are

274
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 4: against you. But when God breeds on your life, the

275
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 4: odds dramatically change you and God are a majority. God

276
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 4: can open doors that should have never opened. God can

277
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 4: take you beyond where your talent, your education says you

278
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 4: should go. God can make a way even when you

279
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 4: don't see away. And it's not enough to just have

280
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 4: faith in God. That's important, but you've got to have

281
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 4: faith in what God has given you. You are not lacking,

282
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 4: you were not shortchanged. You are not at a disadvantage.

283
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 4: The creator of the universe is breathing on your life.

284
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 4: He's breathing on your health, breathing on your finances, breathing

285
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 4: on your marriage. If you will be confident in what

286
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 4: God has given you, he can take what looks like

287
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 4: little and turn it into much. The Scripture even says

288
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 4: don't despise the day of small beginnings. In other words,

289
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 4: don't look at what you have and say, oh, Joel,

290
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 4: I can't do anything great. I don't have a lot

291
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 4: of talent a feed store, God, I need a big building,

292
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 4: A low level job. God. I wanted to be in management.

293
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 4: What God has given you right now may seem small,

294
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 4: but don't let that fool you. When you use what

295
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 4: you have, God will multiply it. You'll see an explosion

296
00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 4: of his goodness. One time, Jesus had been teaching thous

297
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 4: of people, was getting late in the day and everyone

298
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 4: was hungry. Jesus turned to his disciples and said, I

299
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 4: want you to feed all the people. They didn't have

300
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 4: any food out there in the wilderness. There were no

301
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 4: grocery stores. On the surface, it seemed like what Jesus

302
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 4: asked was impossible. But here's the key. God will never

303
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 4: ask you to do something and then not give you

304
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 4: the ability to do it. When joel, I can't raise

305
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 4: this child, he's too difficult. No, God wouldn't have given

306
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 4: you the child if you weren't able to raise him. Well,

307
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 4: these people at work, they're driving me crazy. Know. When

308
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 4: God gave you that job, he gave you the ability

309
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 4: to be there with a good attitude. Well, I couldn't

310
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 4: accomplish my dreams. I don't know the right people. No,

311
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 4: the moment God put the dream in your heart, he

312
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 4: lined up everything you need to bring it to pass.

313
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 4: The disciples said to Jesus, we can't feed all these people,

314
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 4: it's impossible. We don't have any food. Jesus heard all

315
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 4: their excuses. He finally said to them, you've told me

316
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 4: all about what you don't have. All I want to

317
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: know is what do you have? They said, we just

318
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 4: have five loaves of bread, two small fish. But what

319
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 4: is this among so many? They looked at it and

320
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 4: dismissed it. It's not enough, Joel, I believe I could

321
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 4: do something great if I had more going for me,

322
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 4: if I had more talent, more friends, more money. No,

323
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 4: you're just looking at the natural. Get rid of that.

324
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 4: I don't have enough mentality. God controls the whole universe.

325
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 4: He's saying to you today what Jesus said to the disciples,

326
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 4: Give me what you have. Don't make excuses, don't sit

327
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 4: on the sidelines of life feeling intimidated, short changed. Put

328
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 4: your life, your goals, your dreams into my hands. Jesus

329
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 4: took the five loaves, the two fish, prayed over it,

330
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 4: and it's super naturally multiplied. It ended up feeding probably

331
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 4: fifteen thousand people plus. There were baskets full left over.

332
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 4: That's what happens. When you give God what you have,

333
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 4: he'll multiply it. Let me ask you are you talking

334
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 4: yourself out of something God has put in your heart.

335
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 4: I read a story about a young lady named Mary

336
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 4: the Thune. She was the youngest of seventeen children born

337
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 4: in South Carolina in the early eighteen hundreds. Her parents

338
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 4: were slaves. In spite of the odds being against her,

339
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 4: she was able to get a good education, even go

340
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 4: to college. From the time she was a little girl.

341
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 4: Her dream was always to teach young people. She was

342
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 4: a straight a student. You couldn't meet a finer young woman.

343
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 4: She graduated from college, she turned her application in to

344
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 4: teach it to school. Several months later, she got word

345
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 4: back that she was turned down for some reason. She

346
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 4: wasn't accepted. But instead of sitting around thinking about how

347
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 4: bad life was treating her, she had the attitude, I

348
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 4: didn't get that position. I must not have needed it.

349
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 4: If it was going to keep me from my destiny,

350
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 4: God would have never allowed it. She decided to start

351
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 4: her own school. She didn't have any money, no building,

352
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 4: no supplies, no equipment. She found some old cardboard boxes

353
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 4: and used them for desk. She would get red berries

354
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 4: each day drained the juice out of them, so her

355
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 4: students could use that for ink in their pens. A

356
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 4: few years later, a local college noticed what was happening

357
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 4: and asked her to join forces with them. It became

358
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 4: known as the Bethune Cookman College. Nineteen thirty two, President

359
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 4: Franklin Roosevelt appointed her as an advisor to his cabinet,

360
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 4: making her the first African American woman ever to become

361
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 4: a president or adviser. What am I saying? What you

362
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 4: have may seem small, but don't dismiss it. If you'll

363
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 4: use what God has given you, he'll multiply it. He'll

364
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 4: not only bring your dreams to pass, but he'll do

365
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 4: more than you can ask or think. In the scripture,

366
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 4: there were four lepers marching toward the enemy's camp. These

367
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 4: four men had nothing, no supplies, no food, no protection,

368
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 4: not even their health. In the natural, they didn't have

369
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 4: a chance. They could have been sitting around, depressed, focused

370
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 4: on what they didn't have. No, these men must have

371
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 4: been coming to Lakewood. They were using what God had

372
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 4: given them. As they were marching toward the enemy's camp,

373
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 4: God multiplied. The sound of their footsteps sounded like a

374
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 4: huge army was attacking. Those enemies took off running for

375
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 4: their lives. When Joel, I don't have a lot of talent,

376
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 4: maybe not, but do you have any footsteps? I don't

377
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 4: have much money, maybe not, but do you have any

378
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 4: red berries? I don't have a big building for my

379
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 4: new business, maybe not, But do you have an old

380
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 4: rundown feedstore. If you'll use what God has given you,

381
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 4: he'll multiply it. He'll multiply your talent, multiply your resources,

382
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 4: multiply your influence. Listen, God is not into addition, He's

383
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 4: into multiplication. What you have today may seem small, but

384
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 4: if you'll keep honoring God, it's not going to stay small.

385
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 4: You're going to come into supernatural increase, good breaks, divine connections,

386
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 4: opportunities that you've never seen before. Friends. You have exactly

387
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 4: what you need to fulfill your destiny. Now here's a key.

388
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 4: It may not be as much as a family member,

389
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 4: a co worker, a friend, but that's okay. You're not

390
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 4: running their race. You're running your race. If God gave

391
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 4: you what they have, it wouldn't help you, it would

392
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 4: hinder you. You're not annointed to be them, You're anointed

393
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 4: to be you. When David went out to face Goliath,

394
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 4: King Saul tried to get David to wear his armor.

395
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 4: David didn't have any protection, just that slingshot. Saul had

396
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: good intentions, he said, David, at least wear my armor.

397
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 4: You're going to get out there and get killed. The

398
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 4: problem was David was much smaller than King Saul. When

399
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 4: he put that armor on, it swallowed him. It didn't

400
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 4: help him. It weighed him down. That's because what God

401
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 4: has given other people is not going to work for you.

402
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 4: Don't try to be like somebody else. I wish I

403
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 4: had their talent, their looks, their personality. No, if you

404
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 4: put that armor on, just like with David, you would

405
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 4: be uncomfortable. It would slow you down. It wasn't designed

406
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 4: for you. You are unique, you are one of a kind.

407
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 4: God custom made your armory. You are wearing designer armor.

408
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 4: Nobody has what you have. When you go out today,

409
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 4: you need to walk with some swag as you leave.

410
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 4: I don't know what swag is, but it sounds good.

411
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 4: I'm too white having his swag. David took that armor

412
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 4: off and said, no, thanks, this is not for me.

413
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 4: I can't be who God created me to be wearing

414
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 4: somebody else's armor. I have what I need it may

415
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 4: not be as much as somebody else, but if you'll

416
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 4: walk in your own anointing, if you'll use what God's

417
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 4: given you, you can have less talent, less resources, less friends,

418
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 4: but because God's breathing on your life, you will go

419
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 4: further than people that have more talent, more resources. That's

420
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 4: what happened with David. He defeated Goliath with less equipment.

421
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 4: Goliath was wearing a full set of armor. All David

422
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 4: had was the slingshot. The difference was that slingshot was

423
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 4: a part of David's divine destiny. If he would have

424
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 4: looked at it and thought, it's nothing, it's small, it's insignificant.

425
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 4: If he would have dismissed it, he would have missed

426
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 4: his destiny. Don't dismiss what God has given you. It

427
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 4: may not be as impressive as somebody else has. You

428
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 4: may not have the talent, the looks, the personality, the income,

429
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 4: the influence as they do. But when you realize what

430
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 4: God has given you has been custom made. He specifically

431
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 4: gave you your gifts, your talents, your look, your personality.

432
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 4: It wasn't a random happening. God didn't close his eyes

433
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 4: and say here, just take this. No God matched you

434
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 4: for your world. He put in you exactly what you

435
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 4: need to fulfill his plan for your life. A few

436
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 4: years ago I was speaking to several hundred pastures, and

437
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 4: afterwards we had a time for questions, and this one

438
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 4: pasture stood up. He must have been six foot five,

439
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 4: three hundred pounds, a very large man. I'm five foot

440
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 4: nine inches tall. Television makes you look bigger than you

441
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 4: really are. And they were surprised at how small I was.

442
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 4: And he said, very dramatically, Joel, I just want to

443
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 4: know how much do you weigh. I smiled and said,

444
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 4: I'm one hundred and fifty pounds of pure steel. You

445
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 4: got to be confident and who God made you to be.

446
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 4: You're not too short, you're not too tall. You're the

447
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 4: right size. You have the right personality, you're the right nationality.

448
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 4: You've been custom made by the creator of the universe.

449
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 4: Put your shoulders back, hold your head up high. You

450
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 4: are not lacking. You haven't been short changed. If you're

451
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 4: not at a disadvantage, you have exactly what you need

452
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 4: for where you are. Get up every morning and remind yourself.

453
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 4: I have the strength, the talent, the friends, the resources,

454
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 4: the qualifications. I need for today. If you will do that,

455
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 4: because your trust is in the Lord, I believe and

456
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 4: declare you will never lack any good thing. God is

457
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,480
