But thanks for tuning in and thank you 45 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: again for coming out. I like to start with something 46 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 3: funny and I heard about these three sisters, ages ninety six, 47 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 3: ninety four, and ninety two. They lived together. One day, 48 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 3: the ninety six year old draws a bath and puts 49 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 3: one foot in and stops. She hollers, downstairs, I can't 50 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 3: remember if I was getting in or getting out. The 51 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 3: ninety four year old said, just a second, I'll come 52 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 3: up and help you. She gets halfway up the stairs 53 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 3: and stops. She says, I can't remember if I was 54 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: going up or coming down. The ninety two year old 55 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 3: shook her head and said, boy, I hope I never 56 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 3: get that. Forgetful. She knocked on wood for good luck. 57 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 3: Then she said, hang on, I'll come help you both 58 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 3: as soon as I see who's at the door. Hold 59 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 3: up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This 60 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: is my Bible. I am what it says. 61 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 5: I am. 62 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. I can do 63 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 3: what it says I can do. Today I will be 64 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 3: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 65 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 3: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 66 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 67 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 3: to talk to you today about releasing the full you 68 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 3: on the inside of each one of us is a blessed, prosperous, 69 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 3: victorious person. This person is free from addictions in bad habits. 70 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: They're confident and secure, talented and creative, disciplined and focused. 71 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: But just because they're in you doesn't mean they're automatically 72 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 3: going to come out. They have to be released. The 73 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: apostle Paul gives us the secret in Romans twelve, verse two. 74 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 3: He said, be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 75 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 3: That word transform in the original language is metamorpha. It's 76 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: where we get our word metamorphous. We know how a 77 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: caterpillar metamorphoses into a butterfly. This is saying, if you'll 78 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 3: get your thoughts going in the right direction and not 79 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 3: dwell on negative condemning, not able to thoughts, but program 80 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 3: your mind with what God says about you, then a 81 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: transformation will take place. Think about the little caterpillar, the 82 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 3: little worm. It starts off as one of the most 83 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 3: unattractive insects. It's very plain, nothing really special about it. 84 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 3: But God predestined it to go through a transformation. At 85 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 3: a certain point it forms a cocoon. This metamorphos starts 86 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 3: to take place. It's a process. Little by little, it changes. 87 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 3: One day, it begins to push out of the cocoon. 88 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 3: A leg comes out, then a wing comes out, a 89 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: little later, his head comes out. Before long, it's totally 90 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 3: free from the It goes from being one of the 91 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: most plain insects to being one of the most beautiful, colorful, 92 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 3: graceful insects. Instead of having to crawl on the ground 93 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 3: squirm around, now it can fly wherever it wants to go. 94 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: In the same way, we all start off as worms. 95 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 3: So to speak, our thoughts, without being retrained, naturally gravitate 96 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 3: toward the negative. We think I can't take that promotion. 97 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 3: I'm not qualified, I'll never rise much higher, joy I 98 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 3: come from the wrong family, or I've made too many mistakes. 99 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 3: God could never bless me. You know what. Those are, 100 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 3: wormy thoughts. But just because we start that way doesn't 101 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 3: mean that we're supposed to finish that way. God has 102 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 3: predestined us to go through a transformation from a worm 103 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: that crawls and barely gets by to a beautiful butterfly 104 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 3: that soars. But here's the key. It's not up to God, 105 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 3: it's up to us. The only way to release your 106 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: butterfly is to get your thinking in line with God's word? 107 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 3: What will keep you in your cocoon? I'll never lose 108 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 3: this weight. My business isn't going to get off the ground. 109 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 3: I'm not a good parent. Those thoughts will keep the 110 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 3: fool you from coming out. You have to realize there 111 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 3: is a great parent already in you, just waiting to 112 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 3: be released. If you're going to see your metamorphis take place, 113 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: you got to be convinced in me right now is 114 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 3: a great father, a great mother. I will renew my 115 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 3: mind to get them out. You may be struggling with 116 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 3: an addiction, but in you right now is a person 117 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 3: that's totally free. You may be down in your finances, 118 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 3: business is slow, but in you right now is a 119 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 3: person that lends and not borrows the head and not 120 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 3: the tail. And if you'll just keep you a new 121 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: you in your mind, agreeing with what God says about you, 122 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 3: it's just a matter of time before that person comes out. 123 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 3: When the thoughts tell you you're never going to change, 124 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 3: it's never going to get any better, or just remind yourself, 125 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: I'm being transformed. My metamorphos has already begun. That's how 126 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 3: you release the full you. I know people they have 127 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 3: incredible talent. They have so much to offer. The problem 128 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 3: is they've never gone through their transformation. They're allowing the 129 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 3: same negative recording to play in their mind all day long. 130 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 3: Your life is going to follow your thoughts. If you 131 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 3: think you've reached your limits, then you have. If you 132 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 3: don't think you can break that addiction, then you want. 133 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: You have to change your thinking. Some of you have 134 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: been in your cocoon way too long. God is ready 135 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: to take you to a new level. He's ready to 136 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 3: release a new wave of his favor, and you've got 137 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: to rise up and say that's it. I'm done thinking 138 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 3: these wormy thoughts. It's my time to be transformed. I 139 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 3: know I am forgiven. I am redeemed and talented, creative, disciplined, 140 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 3: I am well able. Listen, that's not just being positive, 141 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 3: that's renewing your mind. When you do that, I can 142 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: see part of your wing coming out. I can see 143 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 3: that leg breaking through the cocoon. You keep that up, 144 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 3: and before long you'll release the full you. You'll be transformed 145 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 3: into a beautiful butterfly, soaring too places that you've never 146 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 3: dreamed of. This is what my father had to do. 147 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 3: Daddy grew up in a very poor family. His parents 148 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: were cotton farmers, and they lost everything during the Great Depression. 149 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 3: They were good people that they had very little vision. 150 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 3: When my father gave his life to Christ as seventeen 151 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 3: years of age, he felt something stirring on the inside. 152 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 3: A still small voice started telling him, John, you were 153 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 3: made for more. Break out of the mould, rise out 154 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 3: of this, set a new standard for your family. What 155 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 3: was that the butterfly trying to come out? His parents? 156 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 3: Every boy said John, you better not leave the farm. 157 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 3: You better play it safe and stay here and pick 158 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 3: cotton with us the rest of your life. No offense 159 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 3: to them, but those will wormy thoughts. People will try 160 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 3: to keep you in your cocoon. People will tell you 161 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 3: what you can't do, what you can't become. My father 162 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 3: had to reprogram his thinking from a barely get by 163 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 3: mentality poverty mindset too. I am the head and not 164 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 3: the tail. I will lend and not borrow. The favor 165 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 3: of God surrounds me. Where I am is not where 166 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 3: I'm staying. He broke out of that cocoon, and he 167 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 3: released the butterfly on the inside. Some people like that worm. 168 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 3: They're still kind of squirming around, but God has destined 169 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 3: you to sore. There is a butterfly in you. There 170 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 3: is victory, freedom, excellence. It's all on the inside. But 171 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 3: you've got to do your part and go through the transformation. 172 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 3: And a lot of us, like my father, we were 173 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 3: programmed by the people that raised us, or by what 174 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 3: somebody has spoken over us. Maybe they were good people, 175 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 3: but now that programming is limiting us. As long as 176 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: you think that you've gone as far as you can, 177 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 3: then you'll stay in your cocoon. If you think I 178 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 3: can't break this addiction, I've had it too long. I'll 179 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 3: never get well, and I'm not that good of a 180 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 3: parent that's going to keep your butterfly from being released. 181 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 3: The transformation takes place when you renew your mind, program 182 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 3: your thinking with what God says about you. God says 183 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 3: the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter. All 184 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 3: through the day. I'm rising higher. I haven't seen my 185 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 3: best days. Something good is going to happen to me. 186 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 3: As you meditate on that day in and day out, 187 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 3: you're breaking out of that cocoon. A wing is starting 188 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 3: to come out. And people may have spoken negative things 189 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 3: over you. But the good news is people don't determine 190 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 3: your destiny. You are not who people say you are. 191 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 3: You are who God says you are. I know this 192 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 3: gentleman named Robert. He grew up with a stepfather that 193 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 3: was always putting him down. He was told again and 194 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 3: again how he was slow, couldn't do anything right. Why 195 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 3: can't you be more like your brother. He was young, 196 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 3: he didn't know any better. He let those negative thoughts 197 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 3: program his thinking. He was very insecure, intimidated, no dream 198 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 3: for his life. When he graduated from high school, he 199 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 3: got a job as a janitor at a small office complex. 200 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 3: One day, his mother remarried. This new stepfather was just 201 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 3: the opposite. He was constantly telling Robert what he could become, 202 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 3: how talented he was, how there was a bright future 203 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 3: in front of him, speaking faith into him, reprogramming his thinking. 204 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 3: He asked Robert what he wanted to do with his life, 205 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 3: what his dream was. Robert said, I just want to 206 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 3: work as a janitor. I just want to stay at 207 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 3: this small office complex. He'd had years of wormy thoughts 208 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 3: put into him. They don't go away overnight. His stepfather said, listen, Robert, 209 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: you have so much more in you. I'll make a 210 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 3: deal with you. If you'll go to college, I'll pay 211 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 3: for every book, every course, every meal, every degree. When 212 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 3: Robert heard that, something came alive on the inside. Nobody 213 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 3: had ever invested in him, nobody had ever called out 214 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 3: his seeds of greatness. He went to college and in 215 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 3: four years he got his bachelor's degree with honors. He 216 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: decided to go on and get his mass. He went 217 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 3: after that and got a doctorate. He wasn't finished. He 218 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 3: went to seminary and got another degree. After four degrees, 219 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 3: his stepfather said, I'm done, Robert. You're on your own today. 220 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 3: Robert is doing great things, living a life of victory, 221 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 3: helping others. But it would have never happened if he 222 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 3: had not renewed his mind. He had to get rid 223 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 3: of the wrong programming that had been put into him. 224 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 3: When he started dwelling on the right thoughts, thoughts of faith, victory, 225 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 3: favor can do thoughts, that's when the transformation took place. 226 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 3: He released his butterfly, so to speak. Now, maybe some 227 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 3: of you have had negative things spoken over you, like Robert. 228 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: People have told you what you can't do, what you're 229 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 3: not going to become. Now, let me tell you who 230 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 3: you really are. God says you are blessed, You are talented, 231 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 3: you are valuable, You are confident you have been hand 232 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 3: picked by the creator of the universe. Now quit dwelling 233 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 3: on what people say you are and program your mind 234 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 3: with who God says you are. On the inside of 235 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 3: you right now is a victorious, successful, not average, not mediocre, 236 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 3: world changer, history maker, just waiting to break out. I'm 237 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 3: asking you to release the fool you. You are destined 238 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 3: to leave your mark on our generation. There is no 239 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 3: limit to what God can do in you and through you. 240 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 3: When you reprogram your thinking and start believing that you're blessed, valuable, 241 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 3: want of a kind, more than a conquer When you 242 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 3: renew your mind, transformations take place. When I first started 243 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 3: ministering back in nineteen ninety nine, I was so nervous. 244 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 3: I didn't think I could do this. Every voice told me, Joe, 245 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 3: you better not get up there in front of people. 246 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 3: You're gonna make a fool of yourself. You're not gonna 247 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: know what to say. Nobody's going to listen to you. 248 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 3: I've learned the enemy doesn't fight you for where you are. 249 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 3: He fights you for where you're going. He would love 250 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 3: He would love to keep you in your cocoon thinking 251 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 3: these wormy thoughts. He doesn't want you to break out 252 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 3: and soar and live an overcoming life. He wants you 253 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 3: to struggle, being secured, be burdened by addictions and bad habits. 254 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 3: It all starts in our mind. If he can control 255 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 3: your thoughts, he can control your whole life. Now I 256 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 3: had to do what I'm asking you to do all 257 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 3: through the day. I can do all things through Christ. 258 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 3: I am strong in the Lord. If God be for me, 259 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 3: who dare be against me? I did that. Month after month, 260 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 3: little by little, I started breaking out of my cocoon. 261 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 3: A wing started to come out. First couple of years, 262 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 3: I was so insecure. If I heard one negative comment, 263 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 3: I would get discouraged. I would try to change and 264 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 3: make sure everybody liked me. But as I continued to 265 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 3: renew my mind, I realized I didn't need people's approval. 266 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 3: I have Almighty God's approval. What was happening, more of 267 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 3: my wing was coming out, little bit of my leg 268 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 3: pushed through that cocoon. The truth is today I'm not 269 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 3: totally transformed yet, but at least I'm not still in 270 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 3: that cocoon. At least I'm not still crawling around thinking 271 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 3: those wormy thoughts. When I compare myself now to when 272 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 3: I started fourteen years ago, in one sense, I'm not 273 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 3: the same person. I'm not nervous, I'm not insecure. I'm 274 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 3: confident in who God made me to be. Somebody doesn't 275 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 3: like me, doesn't bother me the least bit. I'm happy. 276 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 3: I'm blessed. 277 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 6: That's what it means to be transformed by the renewing 278 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 6: of your mind. Now, maybe you're not totally out yet either, 279 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 6: but don't get discouraged. 280 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 3: God is still working on you. Every day you think 281 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 3: the right thoughts, you are breaking out of that cocoon 282 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 3: a little bit more, and at the right time, you're 283 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 3: gonna take off, and God is gonna take you places 284 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 3: that you could never go on your own. Man in 285 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 3: the scripture by the name of Gideon, God wanted him 286 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: to lead the people of Israel against an opposing army. 287 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 3: But Gideon had all these wormy thoughts. He was stuck 288 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 3: in his cocoon. One day, the Angel of the Lord 289 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 3: appeared unto him, said hello, Gideon, you mighty man of 290 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 3: fearless courage. I can imagine Gideon looking around thinking, who 291 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 3: is he talking about? I am not a mighty man 292 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 3: of fearless courage. Gideon was afraid, intimidated, insecure, just the opposite. 293 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 3: But notice God didn't call him what he was. God 294 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 3: called him what he could become. God sees your potential. 295 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 3: God knows what you're capable of. You may feel weak, 296 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 3: but God calls you strong. You may be intimidated today, 297 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 3: but God calls you confident. You may feel less than 298 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 3: God calls you well able. If the Angel of the 299 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 3: Lord were to appear to you today, he would say 300 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 3: the same thing he said to Gideon. Hello Mary, you 301 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 3: mighty woman of fearless courage. Hello Frank, you, mighty man 302 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 3: of fearless courage. Hell, old people of Lakewood, you mighty 303 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 3: people of fearless courage. Why don't you get in agreement 304 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 3: with God? Start believing what he says about you? Gideon 305 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 3: answered the angel back in verse fifteen. He said, how 306 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 3: am I supposed to save Israel? I come from the 307 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 3: poorest family in all of Mnassa, and I am the 308 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 3: least one in my father house. Noticed those wormy thoughts. 309 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 3: A lot of times, like Gideon, we do the same thing. 310 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 3: I can't do anything great I'm not that talented. And 311 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 3: if I was a different nationality, if I had a 312 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 3: better personality, Joel, if I hadn't made so many mistakes, 313 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 3: get rid of the excuses. You are equipped, you are empowered. 314 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 3: You already have everything you need to fulfill your destiny. 315 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 3: It's in you right now. Now. You've got to do 316 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: your part to bring it out. I read about an 317 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 3: older gentleman. He lived in a small hut on an 318 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 3: island out in the South Pacific. He was a well 319 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 3: known sculptor. He'd spent his whole life working with wood 320 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 3: and carving different items, very talented. One day he was 321 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 3: walking by this beautiful plantation. The wealthiest man on the 322 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 3: island lived there. He saw these big tree trunks that 323 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 3: had been cut down and were piled up in a 324 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 3: big staf. He asked the owner what they were going 325 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 3: to do with them. The owner said, oh, they're trash, 326 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 3: they're useless. We're just going to haul them away. He said, 327 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 3: do you mind if I could have one of those? 328 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 3: The owner looked at him kind of strange and said, 329 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 3: you want an old, dead piece of useless wood, go 330 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 3: ahead and take it. He hauled it away on his wagon, 331 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 3: got it to his hut and stood it up on 332 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 3: the inside, and he began to walk around it, very slowly, 333 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 3: carefully analyzing it, thinking about it. It's as if he 334 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 3: was trying to release something that was trapped on the inside. 335 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 3: A couple of hours later he started carving away, whittling 336 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 3: with precision. Day after day. Two weeks after that, he 337 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 3: had carved the most beautiful eagle you could ever imagine. 338 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 3: It was majestic looking, had its wings out, head back, 339 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 3: soaring through the air. He put it on the front 340 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 3: porch of his little hut. One day, it just so 341 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 3: happened that plantation owner was walking by saw the eagle. 342 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 3: Was so impressed he walked up to it and began 343 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 3: to marvel at the detail and how magnificent it was. 344 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 3: He said to the man, where in the world did 345 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 3: you get this? I'd like to buy this from you. 346 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 3: The sculptor kind of laughed and said, no, sir, it's 347 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 3: not for sale. He was insistent. He said, name your price. 348 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 3: I'll pay you whatever you want. The sculptor finally said, 349 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 3: all right, how about five hundred dollars. The men paid him, 350 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 3: and as they were walking away with it, the sculptor said, sir, 351 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 3: I don't know if you realize this, but you just 352 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 3: bought back the piece of useless wood that you gave 353 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 3: me several weeks ago. The next day, the sculptor walked 354 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 3: by the plantation. There was a sign out front. It 355 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 3: said tree trunks for sale, five hundred dollars each. He 356 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 3: learned his lesson. But here's my point. The sculptor saw 357 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 3: something in that discarded piece of wood that other people 358 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 3: could not see. Titation owner saw it as trash, useless, 359 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 3: as of no value. But the sculpture was able to 360 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 3: look beyond the outside, beyond the flaws, and he saw 361 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 3: its potential. He knew what it could become. It's the 362 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 3: same way with our God. Your creator can see things 363 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 3: in you that other people cannot see. Sometimes people will 364 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 3: try to push you down, make you feel insignificant. Sometimes 365 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 3: our own thoughts will kind of convince us that we 366 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 3: don't measure up. But God looks beyond the surface, beyond 367 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 3: the mistakes we've made, beyond what somebody said about you, 368 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 3: and God sees your incredible value. You may think, Joey, 369 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 3: I missed up, I have blown it, I failed, I'm 370 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 3: all washed up. No, God still sees the ego in you. 371 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 3: God doesn't just see what you are, He sees what 372 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 3: you can become. Now you've got to do your part. 373 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 3: Get rid of those condemning thoughts, get rid of them 374 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 3: what somebody has spoken over you, and start renewing your 375 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 3: mind down deep. Start believing that you are redeemed, restored, talented, valuable. 376 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 3: Even if you have made mistakes, believe that you can 377 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 3: still release the full you. Let me tell you, God 378 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 3: can still get you to where he wants you to be. 379 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 3: I think about Jacob. He didn't have a lot of character. 380 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 3: He was dishonest, He cheated people. He even tricked his 381 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 3: own brother out of his birthright. He had a lot 382 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 3: of flaws. He would be somebody we would compare to 383 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 3: that discarded piece of wood. Surely God wouldn't have anything 384 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 3: to do with him. Surely God would find somebody more perfect. No, 385 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 3: God doesn't judge the way we judge. God doesn't look 386 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 3: on the outside. God looks at the heart. Even when 387 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 3: we make mistakes, God doesn't write us off. He doesn't 388 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 3: say you had your shot, You're done. No, God always 389 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 3: gives us another chance. Why Because God can see the 390 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 3: eagle in the wood, He can see the butterfly in 391 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 3: the word. He can even see a champion in a failure. 392 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 3: But it's up to us. The only way the transformation 393 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 3: will take place is you have to believe that you're forgiven. 394 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 3: Believe that there's mercy for every mistake. Believe that you 395 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 3: are who God says you are. One time in the 396 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 3: Old Testament, an army invaded Jerusalem, kidnapped some of the people, 397 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 3: and killed their king. For the first time. The people 398 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 3: of Israel were without a leader. They were discouraged, didn't 399 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 3: know what to do. As they sat there, thinking that 400 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 3: it was over, the prophet Michael rose up and said, Hey, 401 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 3: why are you crying? Why are you discouraged? Is there 402 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 3: not a king in you? I believe God is saying 403 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 3: the same thing to each one of us. There's a 404 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 3: king in you. You may have made mistakes, but the 405 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 3: King is still in you. You may have gone through disappointments. 406 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 3: People may have treated you unfairly, you miss good opportunities. 407 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 3: But let these words sink deep down into your spirit. 408 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 3: The King is still in you. The Queen is still 409 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 3: in you. You need to put your shoulders back, hold 410 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 3: your head up high, carry yourself with confidence. You have 411 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,959 Speaker 3: royal blood flowing through your veins. You are wearing a 412 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 3: crown of favor. I'm not looking at ordinary people. I'm 413 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 3: looking at royalty. I can see kings, i can see queens. 414 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 3: I can see your crown of favor. I can see 415 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 3: your robe of honor. I'm looking at children of the 416 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 3: Most High God. Now you got to start calling out 417 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 3: that king, calling out that queen. You got to release 418 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 3: what God put on the inside. Well, you say, Joel, 419 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 3: this is not for me today. I've made lots of mistakes. 420 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 3: I've lived a rough life. No, that didn't change what 421 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 3: God put in you. You couldn't be any worse than Jacob. 422 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 3: He failed again and again. But God's mercy is from 423 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 3: everlasting to everlasting. It never runs out. God will never 424 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 3: give up on you. God kept working on Jacob, making 425 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 3: him and molding him. One day, God said, Jacob, I'm 426 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 3: gonna change your name. His name literally meant deceiver. God said, 427 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 3: I don't want you to be called that anymore. You've 428 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 3: gone from a worm to a butterfly, from a discarded 429 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 3: piece of wood to a beautiful eagle. Your new name 430 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 3: is going to be Israel. Israel means prince. With God. 431 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 3: He went from being called a cheater to being called 432 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 3: a king. Now, when somebody said hello Israel, they were 433 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 3: saying hello King, they were calling out his seeds of greatness. 434 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 3: They were prophesying, reminded him who he really was, no doubt. 435 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 3: He started thinking, I'm not a cheater, I'm not a deceiver. 436 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 3: I'm not a trickster. I'm a prince, I'm a king. 437 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 3: I've been chosen by God. I've got a destiny to fulfill. 438 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 3: I've got an assignment to accomplish. He renewed his mind, 439 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 3: and that's when the transformation took place. Some of you, 440 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 3: the only thing that's holding you back is your thoughts 441 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 3: toward yourself. You're focused on your mistakes, how you blew it, 442 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 3: how you didn't measure up. You've got to reprogram your thinking, 443 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 3: get rid of those wormy thoughts. All through the day, 444 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 3: I'm redeemed, restored, i am royalty, I am more than 445 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 3: a conquer. I believe today is going to be the 446 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 3: start of some transformations. Some metamorphosis are about to take place. 447 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 3: You need to get ready. Talent is going to come 448 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 3: out of you that you didn't know you had. Strongholds 449 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 3: of inferiority are being broken. You're going to feel a 450 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 3: new boldness, a new confidence to step into the fullness 451 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 3: of your destiny. Some of you have one wing out, 452 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 3: and that's good. But God doesn't want you to stay 453 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 3: in your cocoon. He didn't create you to squirm. He 454 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 3: created you to soar. It's time to get the other 455 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 3: wing out. If you will start renewing your mind, programming 456 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 3: it with what God says about you, then you're going 457 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 3: to release the full you. I'm calling out the confident you. 458 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,959 Speaker 3: I'm calling out the successful you, the blessed you, the 459 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 3: talented you, the disciplined you, the excellent you. I believe 460 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 3: in declare the king in you is coming out. The 461 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 3: ego in you is coming out. The butterfly in you 462 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 3: is coming out. You're not going to stay where you are. 463 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 3: You're being transformed. You're going to soar and go places 464 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 3: that you could have never gotten to on your own. 465 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 3: In Jesus' name, I declare it. If you receive it, 466 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 3: can you say amen? We never like to close our 467 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 3: broadcast without giving you an opportunity to make Jesus the 468 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 3: lord of your life.
