I believe 39 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 5: God has amazing things in your future. I hope you 40 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 5: enjoy this message. I was talking to a girl the 41 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 5: other day who had had a breakup in her relationship 42 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 5: and she was so disheartened. She said that she thought 43 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 5: this relationship was on the right track. She thought that 44 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 5: it could even be headed towards marriage. And then one 45 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 5: day he came to her and he said, I'm taking 46 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 5: a job in another state. Well, she was so discouraged. 47 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 5: She thought, what's happening. When she began to think about 48 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 5: how he could leave so quickly, it began to demoralize her. 49 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 5: She thought, Wow, I'm not as special as I thought 50 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 5: I was. I guess he didn't love me like I 51 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 5: thought he loved me. 52 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 4: She said. 53 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 5: I began to dwell on these thoughts, and I became 54 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 5: more discouraged. She said, you know, I was just really 55 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 5: just trying to make sense of it all, trying to 56 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 5: figure it all out. What happened? 57 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 4: What did I do? 58 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 5: She said. I got to the place where I didn't 59 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 5: even want to go hardly go to work. I certainly 60 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 5: didn't want to go out with any friends. I found 61 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 5: myself just staying at home a lot. And she said, 62 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 5: one evening I turned on the television and I saw 63 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 5: your ministry, She says. As I began to listen and 64 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 5: listen to the messages, I began to regain a sense 65 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 5: of who I was. She said, I began to become 66 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 5: encouraged again. She said, this that I thought was so good. 67 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 5: She said, I realized what I had been doing was 68 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 5: I had been so focused and so attentive to what 69 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 5: had happened to me that I wasn't understanding what was 70 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 5: happening in me. She said, I had been so hurt, 71 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 5: I had been so discredited, I felt so all alone, 72 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 5: and what was happening to me was causing what was 73 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 5: happening in me to totally destroy my life. She said. 74 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 5: I didn't want to do anything, she said, and as 75 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 5: I became encouraged, she said, that discouragement left in holl Rose. 76 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 5: She said. I literally got to the place where I 77 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 5: could look myself in the mirror and like myself again. 78 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 5: She said, little, my little. She said. I'd get up 79 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 5: in the morning and I would look in the mirror 80 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 5: and she would say, you were beautiful, you are talented, 81 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 5: you are valuable. She said, I begin to have this 82 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 5: fun person come back into my life, the person I 83 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 5: really was. And she said, I got so excited. I 84 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 5: got it. I got encouraged to get up in the 85 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 5: morning and look at myself and tell myself how well 86 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 5: I was doing. You see. I love that, She added this. 87 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 5: And I can't leave this out, she said, And I 88 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 5: would say to myself, God is going to bring the 89 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 5: right person across my path because I'm in the palm 90 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 5: of his hand. I love the fact that she did 91 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 5: something about her discouragement. She made a choice. She took 92 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 5: what she received on the inside, the encouragement she got 93 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 5: from the ministry, and she began to encourage herself. It 94 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 5: says in Exodus six that when Moses was going to 95 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 5: leave the children of Israel out of captivity, which God 96 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 5: had promised, what happened when he went to them to 97 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 5: tell them that this was their time. This was the 98 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 5: moment that God was going to cause them to leave 99 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 5: this burden of this joke, this bondage that they had 100 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 5: been under. The scripture says this. It says that they 101 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 5: were too discouraged to believe. They had been under so 102 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 5: much discouragement that they couldn't even believe that what God 103 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 5: could do for them. You know, that's a sad statement, 104 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 5: too discouraged to believe. But I'll tell you what it 105 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 5: shows me. It shows me the power of discouragement in 106 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 5: our life. It shows me that when we become discouraged, 107 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 5: we can't even get the faith to believe that God 108 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 5: can take us to the places we need to go, 109 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 5: to take us over a challenge, through an obstacle. You see, 110 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 5: discouragement is heaped on us and we can't see. You know, 111 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 5: it's very interesting because the young girl that I talked about, 112 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 5: when she began to encourage herself, when she began to 113 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 5: take this encouragement that she had on the inside and 114 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 5: encourage herself. You know, nothing had changed on the outside. 115 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 5: That man didn't come back to her life, but everything 116 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 5: had changed on the inside. And when hope rises in 117 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 5: your heart, faith causes you to act. Faith causes you 118 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 5: to move forward. The scripture tells us that David, the 119 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,559 Speaker 5: mighty man of God, who faced challenge after challenge, learned 120 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 5: this secret. He encouraged himself in the Lord. You see, 121 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 5: David had a warrior's mentality. He took this place inside 122 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 5: of him that he had built up, this place where 123 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 5: he had encouraged himself in the things of God, and 124 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 5: he was able to take that war chest and encourage 125 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 5: himself on the things on the outside. He was able 126 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 5: to look at the face of discouragement and say, no, 127 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 5: my God can supply all of my needs. My God 128 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 5: can get me through this. You see, at one point 129 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 5: in David's life, everybody had turned against him. Even the 130 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 5: men that were fighting battles with him were so down 131 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 5: and discouraged that they turned to David and they said, 132 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 5: we want to stone you. They were looking for someone 133 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 5: to blame for the difficulties that they were facing. David 134 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 5: had no one around him that could encourage him, yet 135 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 5: he encouraged himself in the Lord his God. You know, 136 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 5: it's great when your family is there to encourage you, 137 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 5: when your friends are there to encourage you. But what 138 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 5: happens when no one's there to encourage you? 139 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 4: You know what I believe. 140 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 5: I believe we shouldn't depend on other people to encourage us. 141 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 5: I believe our main source of encouragement should come right 142 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 5: from the inside of us. See. I can't even imagine 143 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 5: my husband trying to encourage me every time I'm discouraged. 144 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 5: You know what, if I went to Joel every time 145 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 5: that I was discouraged, he probably locked himself in a 146 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 5: closet and not come out. You see, we've got to 147 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 5: learn to encourage ourself every day. We've got to remember 148 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 5: what God has done in our life. We have to 149 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 5: understand that we have to get in agreement with God. See, 150 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 5: you are made in the image of Almighty God. God 151 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 5: created you and he made you. And if you believe 152 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 5: that about your life, then when you criticize yourself, you 153 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 5: might as well be criticizing your creator, the one who 154 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 5: made you. 155 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 4: You. 156 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 5: See, if you can criticize his creation, then what you're 157 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 5: doing is criticizing the creator because he made you, He 158 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 5: formed you, he fashioned you, just the way you should be. See, 159 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 5: when you encourage yourself, what you're doing is you're saying, 160 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 5: thank you God for who you made me to be. 161 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 5: Thank you God that you've made me to be more 162 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,479 Speaker 5: than a conquer in Christ Jesus. But I'm an overcomer 163 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 5: because you've backed me up, because I have your word 164 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 5: in me. See it's so easy sometimes to see the 165 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 5: good qualities in other people yet ignore the good qualities 166 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 5: in our self. But I believe that we need to 167 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 5: see the good things in ourself, and we need to 168 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 5: applaud even the smallest accomplishments. You know, maybe you feel 169 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 5: like you're a procrastinator and there's been a project that 170 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 5: you've been putting off. Well, when you begin to start 171 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 5: that project, even if you don't finish it, applaud yourself. 172 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 5: You know, what about that diet you've been trying to 173 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 5: stay on? Listen, when you have a good day, applaud yourself. 174 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 5: What about the addiction that you're overcoming. When you see 175 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 5: yourself trying listen, crown your own efforts with the success, 176 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 5: applaud yourself. You see, we've got to learn to applaud 177 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 5: even the smallest accomplishments in our life. When we applaud ourself, 178 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 5: you know what we're doing. We're not being both. We're 179 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 5: not being egotistical and prideful. We're building confidence and faith 180 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 5: in ourself. Too often we see what we're doing wrong 181 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 5: and not what we're doing right. We see all the 182 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 5: times we blew it. But I want to tell you something. 183 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 5: Don't go around looking at all the times you blew it. 184 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 5: Applaud yourself for all the things you've done well by yourself. 185 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 5: Some flowers, celebrate yourself. You've been made in the image 186 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 5: of God. You've got to understand when you celebrate yourself, 187 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 5: you're celebrating God on the inside of you. See, it's 188 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 5: so important that we do this. You know, life doesn't 189 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 5: always turn out the way we planned. And maybe today 190 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 5: you can say, well, not everything has gone my way. 191 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 5: But can I encourage you with this? You're still here, 192 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 5: You're still full of purpose, you're still full of value. 193 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 5: You can still get to where God wants you to be. 194 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 5: You can't live negative and expect to have a positive life. 195 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 5: You can't dwell on everything that you can't do and 196 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 5: expect to go out with strength and. 197 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 3: Courage to do it. You see, we're all in the process. 198 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 4: That is the truth. 199 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 5: Every one of us in here is in a certain 200 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 5: area of our life in process to the coming, and 201 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 5: it's up to us to stay encouraged along the way. 202 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 5: I'll never forget the time we were in another state 203 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 5: and my husband was on a book tour and we 204 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 5: had done an interview with this journalist, and I'll never 205 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 5: forget he got in the car. We all piled in 206 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 5: the car, and he sat there for a second and 207 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 5: he said, you know what, I did a good job, 208 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,599 Speaker 5: he said. I did everything that I knew to do. 209 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 5: I said what I knew to say, he said, And 210 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 5: I just feel good about what I did today. I 211 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 5: did the very best that I could. And we had 212 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 5: a friend with us, and a little later he said, Choel, 213 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 5: you know when you affirmed yourself after that important interview, 214 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 5: he said, it reminded me of how negative I am 215 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 5: towards my own self. He said, I thought about what 216 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 5: if that was me that just came out of that interview. 217 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 5: He said, I would have probably had a mindful of doubt. 218 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 5: I would have probably thought I didn't say the right 219 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 5: thing and I didn't do the right thing. But when 220 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 5: you had the boldness and the courage to affirm yourself, 221 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 5: he said, it was such a freedom for me. It 222 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 5: made me realize that I can affirm myself. Because See, 223 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 5: the truth is, we can only do the best that 224 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 5: we can do today. And if we'll do the best 225 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 5: we can do today, whether it was the best or not, 226 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 5: we'll be more equipped to do better tomorrow. You See, 227 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 5: my husband is one of the greatest encouragers that I 228 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 5: think I've ever seen. He's encouraged people all over the world, 229 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 5: and I believe one of the greatest secrets to his 230 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 5: encouragement is the fact that he knows how to encourage himself. 231 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 5: He practices finding the best in himself. See, when you're 232 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 5: full of good things, it's interesting how you see through 233 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 5: that lens of good things. Then you're able to see 234 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 5: the best in others to affirm and encourage other people. 235 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 5: So you can't give away what you don't have. If 236 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 5: you've got a full tank, then you can give encouragement 237 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 5: and love to one another. 238 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 4: Listen. 239 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 5: I believe I'm looking at people who have decided they're 240 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 5: going to practice looking in the mirror and deciding who 241 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 5: they really are. I believe I'm looking at people who 242 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 5: are gonna affirm themselves. They're gonna watch the negative talk 243 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 5: and the negative thoughts that are going on in their mind. 244 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 5: And I believe that as we get up every day 245 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 5: and we say who God says we are, and we 246 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 5: reflect the image of Almighty God, that we'll be able 247 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 5: to go out and be encouragers everywhere we go. Amen. Amen, 248 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 5: He's an awesome God. 249 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to the joelus Deine podcast.
