God bless you, and thanks so much for 48 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 4: letting us come into your homes. We are praying for 49 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 4: you and your family for God's very best. I like 50 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 4: to start with something funny, and I heard about this pastor. 51 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 4: He bought a new horse. He trained it to respond 52 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 4: to praise the Lord meaning giddy up, and Hallelujah meaning woe. 53 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 4: Every time he said praise the Lord, the horse took 54 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 4: off running. When he said Hallelujah, it would quickly stop. 55 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 4: One day he was out riding, the horse got spooked 56 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 4: took off running straight toward a cliff, go in full blast. 57 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 4: In the panic, he couldn't remember what he had taught 58 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 4: the horse. He said, bless God, Glory, Amen. Nothing happened. 59 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 4: At the last moment, he shouted Hallelujah, and the horse 60 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 4: came to a screeching halt, just inches before the edge 61 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 4: of the cliff. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, 62 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 4: Praise the Lord. Say it like you mean it. This 63 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 4: is my Bible I am what it says I am. 64 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 65 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 66 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 67 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 68 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 69 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 4: to talk to you today about blessing yourself. We hear 70 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 4: a lot about blessing others, being good to friends, complimenting 71 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 4: a family member, helping a neighbor. That's all good. We 72 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 4: should bless others, but it's also important to bless yourself. 73 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 4: When we hear bless yourself, that can sound odd and 74 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 4: self centered. I can't bless myself. I want somebody else 75 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 4: to bless me. More importantly, I want God to bless me. 76 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 4: But the scripture says in Isaiah, he who invokes a 77 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 4: blessing on himself shall do so by saying. The way 78 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 4: you bless yourself is to say what God says about you. 79 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 4: I am strong, I am talented, I am forgiven, I 80 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 4: am healthy, I am valuable, I am a masterpiece. Those 81 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 4: are not just positive affirmations. You just invoked a blessing 82 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 4: on yourself when you speak it out. You give life 83 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 4: to what you're saying. It's not enough to just think this. 84 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 4: You don't bless yourself by just dwelling on positive thoughts. 85 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 4: Nothing happens until you speak. When you say I am blessed. 86 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 4: Blessings come looking for you. When you say I am prosperous, 87 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 4: good break start hitting your way. When you say I 88 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 4: am healthy, health starts tracking you down. You can't wait 89 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 4: until you feel that way. Then you're going to say it. 90 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 4: When the medical report turns around, then I'll say I'm healthy. 91 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 4: It's just the opposite. You have to declare your healthy 92 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 4: before the health is going to show up. You have 93 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 4: to say I am confident before you going to feel confident. 94 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 4: If you'll say it long enough, what happens is those 95 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 4: words get down in your spirit. You believe what you 96 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 4: say about yourself more than what anyone else says about you. 97 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 4: When you hear yourself day after day, I am healthy, 98 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 4: I am talented, I am confident, I am valuable. It's 99 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 4: changing how you see yourself. Over time, You're going to 100 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 4: become what you're saying. You are who you are in 101 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 4: part today because of what you've been speaking over your 102 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,239 Speaker 4: life now, all through the day. You need to develop 103 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 4: this habit of blessing yourself. You don't have to do 104 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 4: it in front of other people, but when you're in 105 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 4: the shower. Father, thank you that I am creative, I 106 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 4: am attractive, I am a great father. I have a 107 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 4: good personality driving to work. Lord, thank you that I'm forgiven. 108 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 4: I'm redeemed that your mercy is bigger than my mistakes. 109 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 4: Before you go to bed, I am valuable. I am 110 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 4: one of a kind. I have seeds of greatness. Every 111 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 4: time you say that, it's getting deeper in your spirit's 112 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 4: becoming more ingrained in your thinking, and studies tell us 113 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 4: that we move toward what's in our subconscious mind without 114 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 4: even thinking about it. You're being pulled toward what you're saying. 115 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 4: That's why it's so important to pay attention to what 116 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 4: you're speaking over yourself. Other people may say things about you, 117 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 4: but nothing is more powerful than what you say about yourself. 118 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 4: I can tell you all day long you're a victor 119 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 4: and not a victim. That's good. That's helping your thinking, 120 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 4: but it's nothing compared to when you say, I am 121 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 4: a child of the Most High God. I am fearfully 122 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 4: and wonderfully made. I am a masterpiece, handpicked by the 123 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 4: creator of the universe. You keep declaring that, and you 124 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 4: can't stay insecure, feeling unworthy. That will get down in 125 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 4: your spirit. You'll put your shoulders back, hold your head 126 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 4: up high, and you'll go places that you've never dreamed. 127 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 4: Are you blessing yourself or you're just waiting for God 128 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 4: to bless you, waiting for your spouse to make you 129 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 4: feel valuable, waiting for that addiction to go away. Maybe 130 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 4: the reason it's not happening is you're not invoking the 131 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 4: blessing on yourself. You're not declaring what God says about 132 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 4: you in the face of that addiction. You need to declare, 133 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 4: I am free, I am whole. Greater is he that's 134 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 4: in me than what's trying to stop me. Not just 135 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 4: one time, but all through the day, week after week, 136 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 4: month after month. Keep blessing yourself, keep declaring your free, 137 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 4: keep speaking victory. As you do that, you may not 138 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,119 Speaker 4: be able to see it, but freedom is coming your way. 139 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 4: The Scripture says you will eat the fruit of your words. 140 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 4: Whatever you're saying, that fruit is developing. The fruit is growth. 141 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 4: It's significant that God uses fruit as the example. Because 142 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 4: fruit doesn't develop overnight, it takes time. This is showing 143 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 4: us you have to keep speaking it, keep blessing yourself. 144 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 4: Don't be moved by what's not changing. You may not 145 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 4: see results in a week, but things are happening that 146 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 4: you can't see. We have some lemon trees in our backyard. 147 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 4: The lemon start off as a little white flower, no 148 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 4: resemblance of a lemon. Over time, that flower changes into 149 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 4: a little round ball, about the size of a pee. 150 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: Month after month, it grows. In a year or so, 151 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 4: it's a big, beautiful yellow lemon. As you keep saying 152 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 4: what God says about you, those words are taking root. 153 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 4: That freedom you're speaking is developing. That health you're declaring, 154 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 4: the talent, the confidence, the discipline. It's growing. You're going 155 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 4: to come to a point where you see what you've 156 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 4: been saying. You're not speaking it by faith any more. 157 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 4: Now it's a reality. You're going to eat the fruit 158 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 4: of your words. That's why every day you need to 159 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 4: spend time blessing yourself. It's good when others encourage you, 160 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 4: it's good when they pray for you, but their words 161 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 4: don't have the authority as your words. What you say 162 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 4: about yourself, you're giving it the right to come to pass. 163 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 4: When we wake up each morning, most of us brush 164 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 4: our teeth, take a shower, pick out our clothes, get dressed. 165 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 4: We may spend half an hour getting our physical body 166 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 4: ready for the day, but often we don't spend any 167 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 4: time getting our inner person ready for the day, our mind, 168 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 4: our spirit, our emotions. What if you took a couple 169 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 4: of minutes every morning before you leave the house and 170 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 4: say what God says about you. Make this declaration of faith. 171 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 4: You can download it on our website. I am blessed. 172 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 4: I am prosper us. I am redeemed, forgiven, talented, creative, disciplined, focused, confident, secure, prepared, qualified, motivated, valuable, free, determined, equipped, empowered, anointed, 173 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 4: accepted and approved. Not average, not mediocre. I am a 174 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 4: child of the Most High God. We say that every 175 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 4: service at Lakewood. It's because it's easy to forget who 176 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 4: we are. Life tries to push us down, tell us 177 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 4: what we're not, what we can't do, how we failed. 178 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 4: Sometimes our own thoughts tell us we're not attractive. Nothing 179 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 4: good is in our future. If you let those lives play, 180 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 4: it will keep you from your purpose. But if you'll 181 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 4: make this declaration several times a day, month after month, 182 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 4: it will get down in your spirit and you will 183 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 4: become who God created you to be. When you're constantly 184 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 4: saying what God says about you, it will bring down 185 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 4: strongholds that are keeping you back. It will get rid 186 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 4: of impurities that are contaminating your self image. You'll begin 187 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 4: to see yourself the right way, redeemed, forgiven, strong, victorious. 188 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,599 Speaker 4: I taught to a man that was raised in a 189 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 4: dysfunctional home. He was told by his father that he 190 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 4: would never amount to anything, that he wasn't smart enough, 191 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 4: he'd never be successful. For forty years he believed those lies. 192 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 4: He stayed at the lowest level position at the company 193 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 4: where he worked, never thought he could rise higher. After all, 194 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 4: he was told that he didn't have the talent. One 195 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 4: day he heard what I'm telling you. Instead of agreeing 196 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 4: with what people said about him, he started speaking what 197 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 4: God said about him. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 198 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 4: I have seeds of greatness, I am full of potential. 199 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 4: As he spoke what God said about him, he began 200 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,119 Speaker 4: to see himself in a new way. He became more confident, 201 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 4: new gifts started to come out. Other people started to notice. 202 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 4: He got promoted again and again after thirty years of 203 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 4: being stuck at that low level position. Today he's running 204 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 4: his whole department. He has several hundred people under him. Now, 205 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 4: people may tell you that your average nothing special about you. 206 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 4: The good news is what you say about yourself overrides 207 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 4: what other people say. Don't let what someone spoke over 208 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 4: you keep you from becoming who you were created to be. 209 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 4: Don't go around repeating those lies. I'm not that talented. 210 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 4: I've reached my limits. I'll never accomplish my dreams. Zip 211 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 4: that up and speak blessings over your life. The Scripture says, 212 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 4: with our words, we can bless or we can curse. 213 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 4: We can lift up, or we can push down. My 214 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 4: question is, are you blessing yourself or are you cursing yourself? 215 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 4: Are you speaking words of faith, life victory, or are 216 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 4: you speaking defeat mediocrity. I'm so undisciplined. I'll never lose 217 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 4: this weight, I'll never break this addiction. I'm unattractive, I'll 218 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 4: never meet the right person. You may not realize it, 219 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 4: but you're cursing yourself. You're speaking defeat into your future. 220 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 4: You have enough people in life against you. Don't be 221 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 4: against yourself. There are forces of darkness trying to keep 222 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 4: you from your destiny. Don't give them any fuel. Pay 223 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 4: attention to what you're saying about yourself. You can't talk 224 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 4: defeat and have victory. You can't talk lack and have abundance. 225 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 4: You can't talk sickness and have help. You may be 226 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 4: undisciplined right now, but the way to change is not 227 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 4: by telling how bad you are, putting yourself down. That's 228 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 4: inviting more difficulties. Start speaking victory. Don't curse yourself anymore. 229 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 4: Start blessing yourself. I am disciplined, I am determined, I 230 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 4: am strong. I will break this addiction. I will get 231 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 4: back in shape. A friend of mine struggled with smoking 232 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 4: for many years. He tried to quit again and again 233 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 4: wasn't able to do it. He was constantly saying, it's 234 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 4: too hard, I'll never break it. I don't have the 235 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 4: will power. He came down for prayer and he was 236 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 4: very hard on himself, very critical. He told me how 237 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 4: he was undisciplined, how he had quit for a few 238 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 4: months and went back, and how he wasn't going to 239 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 4: be able to break it. He didn't realize he was 240 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 4: cursing himself. Now, I told him what I'm telling you. 241 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 4: You have to change what you're saying. You have to 242 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 4: start blessing yourself every day. Start saying I am strong, 243 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 4: I am disciplined. This addiction doesn't control me. He tried 244 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 4: this different approach. While he smoking. He would say Lord, 245 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 4: thank you that I am free. Pots would tell him, 246 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 4: are you kidding? You're not free, You're just as addicted 247 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 4: as you were before. The scripture says, let the weak 248 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 4: say I'm strong. Don't describe the weakness. Call in strength, 249 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 4: call in freedom, call in favor. About six months later, 250 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 4: something interesting happened. He started to not like the taste 251 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 4: of the cigarette. He thought it was a bad batch. 252 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 4: The taste got worse and worse. He got to the 253 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 4: point where he couldn't stand it. He stopped smoking. Today, 254 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 4: he's been free for over eight years. It all started 255 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 4: when he stopped cursing himself and he started blessing himself. 256 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 4: Are you speaking negative over yourself? Are you putting yourself down, 257 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 4: talking about how you don't measure up, what you can't do, 258 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 4: how you'll never be free. Do yourself a favor. Quit 259 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 4: cursing yourself and start blessing yourself. If you keep being 260 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 4: towards yourself, it will keep you from your destiny. In 261 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 4: the Book of Numbers, the king of Moab hired Balim, 262 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 4: the prophet, to go curse the Israelites. The king knew 263 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 4: the Israelites were stronger and more powerful. He thought if 264 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 4: he could get Balim to curse them, then the Moabites 265 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 4: would be able to defeat the people of Israel. But 266 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 4: God told Balim to only say what the Lord says. 267 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 4: When Balim arrived, instead of cursing the Israelites, he blessed them. 268 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 4: The king was so upset, he said, you don't understand. 269 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 4: I'm paying you to curse them. This happened three times, 270 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 4: but every time Balem blessed them, he told the king, 271 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 4: I cannot curse what God has already blessed. One thing 272 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 4: God was showing us is the enemy. Cannot curse you. 273 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 4: You are God's property. He's already put a blessing on you. People. 274 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 4: Bad breaks how you were raised. What's coming against you? 275 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 4: Cannot stop your destiny. You've already been set apart, favored, equipped, 276 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 4: empowered by the creator of the universe. But here's the key. 277 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 4: Since the enemy can't curse you, he'll try to deceive 278 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 4: you into cursing yourself. He'll do his best to try 279 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 4: to get you to go through life speaking defeat over yourself. 280 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 4: I'm not that talented. I'll never meet the right person. 281 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 4: I've made too many mistakes. He can't curse you. Don't 282 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 4: you dare do it for him? Don't you dare curse yourself. 283 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 4: The next time you're tempted to say something negative about yourself, 284 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 4: your future, your looks, your abilities, Zip it up. When 285 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 4: you're against yourself, you're in agreement with the enemy. When 286 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 4: you bless yourself, you're in agreement with God. You were 287 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 4: created in his image. He didn't make any mistakes. You 288 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 4: didn't get short changed. He wasn't having a bad day 289 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 4: when he made you. He knew every fault you would have. 290 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 4: He knew the areas you would struggle in. Quit beating 291 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 4: yourself up, living unworthy, receive his mercy, and move forward 292 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 4: with your life. You have the talent you need. You 293 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 4: come from the right family. You are well able to 294 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 4: reach your destiny. Now start blessing yourself. When you're tempted 295 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 4: to say something negative, turn it around. You're not attractive. 296 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 4: I am fearfully and wonderfully made. You've made too many mistakes. 297 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 4: I am forgiven, I am redeemed, I am restored. You'll 298 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 4: never be successful, you'll never reach your limits. I am 299 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 4: surrounded by favor. God has taken me from glory to glory. 300 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 4: My latter days will be better than my former days. 301 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 4: Are you blessing yourself or are you cursing yourself? You 302 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 4: have a destiny to fulfill. There's a calling on your life, 303 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 4: an assignment that only you can accomplish. We need what 304 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 4: you have. We need your gifts, we need your talent, 305 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 4: we need your smile, we need your love. This world 306 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 4: won't be as bright a place as it should be 307 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 4: without you shining, living the full, abundant life that you 308 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 4: were created to live. There was a young man in 309 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 4: the scripture named Jeremiah. God gave him the promise that 310 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 4: he would be a great prophet and he would speak 311 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 4: to nations. Jeremiah was young. He didn't see himself as 312 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 4: a leader. He came from an average family, didn't have 313 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 4: a great education, wasn't trained to speak in front of people. 314 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 4: But God never asked you to do something and then 315 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 4: doesn't give you the ability to do it. You may 316 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,719 Speaker 4: not feel qualified, you don't think you have the talent. 317 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 4: The odds are against you. You wouldn't have that opportunity 318 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 4: if you weren't already equipped. It's in you, but you 319 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 4: have to call it out. You have to start blessing yourself. 320 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 4: You'll be tempted to talk about all the reasons why 321 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 4: you're not able. It's too big, you don't have the 322 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 4: these sources. You come from the wrong family. Or don't 323 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 4: curse yourself. Jeremiah said God, I can't speak to nations. 324 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 4: I'm too young. I wouldn't know what to say. God 325 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 4: didn't say that's fine. Understand, God said, Jeremiah, say not 326 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 4: that you're too young. God immediately stopped his negative words. 327 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 4: He stopped him from cursing himself. God knew if Jeremiah 328 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 4: would have gone around saying I can't do this, I 329 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 4: don't have what it takes. I'm afraid he would have 330 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 4: missed his destiny. Be careful what you're saying about yourself. 331 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,479 Speaker 4: You are prophesying your future. The odds may be against you, 332 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 4: but God is for you. Say not, I'll never break 333 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 4: the addiction. Say not, I'll never meet the right person. 334 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 4: Say not, I can't start my business. Zip that up 335 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 4: and get an agreement with God. Psalm thirty four says, 336 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 4: do you want a long, good life, then watch your tongue, 337 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 4: keep your lips from telling lies. We think that only 338 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 4: means don't tell lies to other people, don't be dishonest, 339 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 4: But it also means don't tell lies about yourself. Don't 340 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 4: go around saying things that contradict what God says about you. 341 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 4: I'm just average. I don't have a good personality. I'll 342 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 4: never do anything great. Can I say this respectfully? That's 343 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 4: telling lies. God didn't create anyone average. When he breathed 344 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 4: life into you, he put greatness on the inside. He's 345 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 4: destined you to leave your mark, to overcome that challenge, 346 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 4: to outlast the opposition, to take your family to a 347 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 4: new level. Now, if you're going to see this good, long, prosperous, 348 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 4: amazing life, then you have to do something very important. 349 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 4: Watch your tongue, be careful what you say about yourself. 350 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 4: You can't curse yourself and live a blessed life. You 351 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 4: can't put yourself down and rise up to who you 352 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 4: were created to be. When my father went to be 353 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 4: with the Lord, I knew I was supposed to step 354 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 4: up and pastor the church, but I didn't feel qualified. 355 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 4: I had never ministered before, hadn't been a seminary. I 356 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 4: was afraid and insecure. My father had this big personality, 357 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 4: strong and confident. I'm more quiet and reserved. I had 358 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 4: plenty of opportunities to talk about what I was not, 359 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 4: what I couldn't do, and how I didn't measure up, 360 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 4: and how intimidated I was. But one thing I learned 361 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 4: growing up is to not speak the negative. You may 362 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 4: think it, but don't verbalize it. Instead of saying what 363 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 4: I felt, I said what God said about me. I 364 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 4: am strong in the Lord. I can do all things 365 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 4: through Christ. I've been raised up for such a time 366 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 4: as this. I didn't feel anointed, but all through the 367 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 4: day under my breath, Father, thank you that I am anointed. 368 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 4: Thoughts told me nobody's going to show up, nobody's going 369 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 4: to listen to you, Joel Father, thank you that people 370 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 4: are being drawn to me, that your favor is causing 371 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 4: me to stand out. When they turn me on, they 372 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 4: can't turn me off. Instead of cursing myself agreeing with 373 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 4: the enemy, I kept blessing myself. Most of what I 374 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 4: was saying. At the time, was it true? I wasn't strong, confident, qualified, 375 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 4: But over time, little by little I became what I 376 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 4: was saying. I ate the fruit of my words are 377 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 4: there areas in your life that you're cursing yourself instead 378 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 4: of blessing yourself. You'll be amazed at what will happen 379 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 4: if you'll watch your tongue. The Israelites had been in 380 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 4: slavery for four hundred years when God supernaturally brought them out. 381 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 4: The powerful Fairoh and all of his army couldn't keep 382 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 4: them in captivity. God sent the plagues, part of the 383 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 4: Red Sea, drowned their enemies, gave them water out of 384 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 4: a rock in the desert. He brought them to the 385 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 4: promised Land. They finally made it to this place they 386 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,479 Speaker 4: had dreamed about. They were next door. All they had 387 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 4: to do was go in and take the land. God 388 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 4: promised them the victory. Moses sent twelve men to spy 389 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 4: out the land. Ten of them came back said, we 390 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 4: don't have a chance. There are giants in the land. 391 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 4: We felt like grasshoppers compared to them. The scripture says 392 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 4: they brought back an evil report. It seems like evil 393 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 4: is a strong word. A negative report makes more sense, 394 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 4: but God called it an evil report. It's because when 395 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 4: you get in agreement with the enemy and curse yourself, 396 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 4: it can keep you from your destiny. The Israelites has 397 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 4: seen the favor of God in amazing ways. Yet the 398 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 4: spies came back and said, we're like grasshoppers. Here. They 399 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 4: were sons and da ors of the most High, God 400 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 4: favored equipped anointed. The problem is they started telling lies. 401 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 4: They started agreeing with the enemy, cursing their future. The 402 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 4: enemy couldn't stop them with his power. He had to 403 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 4: deceive them into cursing themselves. They never did make it 404 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 4: into the promised land. The enemy has no new tricks. 405 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 4: He can't keep you from your destiny. He can't stop 406 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 4: God's plan for your life. God has blessed you. The 407 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 4: enemy cannot curse you. Now. The question is are you 408 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 4: going to curse yourself? Don't fall into that trap. Speak 409 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 4: victory over your life, Luke. Chapter one, an angel appeared 410 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 4: to a man named Zachariah. He told him that his wife, 411 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 4: Elizabeth was going to have a baby. They were to 412 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 4: name him John. Elizabeth had been bearing her whole life. 413 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 4: They were both way up there in years didn't seem possible. 414 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 4: Zachariah said to the angel, how can this happen? I'm 415 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 4: too old and my wife is way past the child 416 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 4: bearing years. Are you sure you have the right people, 417 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 4: the Angel said, Zachariah, I am Gabriel. I stand in 418 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 4: the presence of Almighty God. What he says will come 419 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 4: to pass. But God knows the power of our words. 420 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 4: He knows if we go around cursing ourselves, talking about 421 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 4: what we can't do, how impossible it is, how we're 422 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 4: too old, too young, too shy, too short, then we'll 423 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 4: never become who we were created to be. God needed 424 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 4: this child to be born to fulfill a prophecy from earlier. 425 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 4: So God did something unusual. The Angel said Zachariah, since 426 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 4: you doubted, you will remain silent and not be able 427 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 4: to speak until the baby is born. God literally shut 428 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 4: his mouth. Zachariah left there, unable to speak. God was 429 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 4: about to do something Zachariah had never seen, more than 430 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 4: he had imagined, but he knew if Zachariah went around 431 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 4: speaking defeat, it would stop the promise. I wonder if 432 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 4: there are promises we're keeping from coming to pass, because 433 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 4: we're speaking the negative, verbalizing our doubts, cursing ourselves. A 434 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 4: year later, Elizabeth gave birth to a baby boy, just 435 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 4: like the angel said. Her friends and relatives were so 436 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 4: excited they came over to the house to celebrate. One 437 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 4: of them asked what the baby's name was going to be. 438 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 4: Elizabeth said, his name is John. They said John. Nobody 439 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 4: in your family is named John. He should be named Zachariah, 440 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 4: after the father. They looked at Zachariah, he still couldn't speak, 441 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 4: so he wrote it on a tablet. His name is John. 442 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 4: Like with Zachariah, God is about to do something that 443 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 4: your family has never seen, something unusual, something out of 444 00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 4: the ordinary. You're about to give birth to dreams, promises, ministry, abundance, 445 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 4: influence that is far more than you've imagined. It's going 446 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 4: to be easy to doubt, think it's too much, it 447 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 4: could never happen. But the reason God has you hearing 448 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 4: this is so you will watch your tongue. No more 449 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 4: cursing yourself, no more speaking defeat, talking about how you 450 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 4: can't get well, can't break the addiction, can't start your business, 451 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 4: Get in agreement with God, start blessing yourself all through 452 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 4: the day. I am strong, I am talented, I am anointed, 453 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 4: I am healthy, I am well able. Remember the enemy 454 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 4: can't curse you. He doesn't have that power. Now, don't 455 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 4: curse yourself. Speak life, speak favor, speak victory. If you'll 456 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 4: do this, I believe and declare God is about to 457 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 4: show out in your life. New doors are about to open. 458 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 4: Negative situations are about to turn around. Freedom is coming, 459 00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 4: healing is coming, breakthroughs the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name. Well, 460 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 4: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 461 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 4: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 462 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 4: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 463 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 4: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 464 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 4: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 465 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 4: born again.
