47
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 4: I like to start with something funny each week, and

48
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: they're just a joke. Don't be offended. I heard about

49
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: this man.

50
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 6: He was sitting in a dark restaurant, and he said

51
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 6: to the lady sitting next to him, would you like

52
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 6: to hear a blonde joke? She said, well, before you

53
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 6: tell me, you should know that I'm blonde, six foot

54
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 6: tall and a professional bodybuilder. The lady next to me

55
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 6: is blonde, six foot two and a professional wrestler. And

56
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 6: the lady next to her is blonde, six foot five

57
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 6: and the kickboxing champion of the world.

58
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 4: Now do you still want to tell me?

59
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 6: He thought about it a moment, said no, not if

60
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 6: I'm gonna have to explain it three times. I'm gonna

61
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 6: need a ride home today. But anyway, say it like

62
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 6: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what

63
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 6: it says I am. I have what it says I have.

64
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 6: I can do what it says I can do. Today

65
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 6: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly

66
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 6: confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I

67
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 6: will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

68
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 6: I want to talk to you today about asking big

69
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 6: When God laid out the plan for your life, he

70
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 6: didn't just put what you need to get by to survive,

71
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 6: to endure. He put more than enough. He's a god

72
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 6: of abundance. And we see this all through the scripture.

73
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 6: When Jesus multiplied the little boy's lunch five loges of

74
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 6: bread and two fish after thousands of people eight there

75
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 6: were twelve baskets full left over. And what's interesting is

76
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 6: they had counted the people beforehand. Jesus knew how many

77
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 6: were in the crowd that day. If he wanted to

78
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 6: be exact, he could have made it where there would

79
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 6: be no leftovers.

80
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: On purpose, he made more than enough.

81
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 6: That's the God we serve. David said, my cup runs over.

82
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 6: He had an abundance, more than he needed. And yes,

83
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 6: we should thank God that our needs are supplied.

84
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 4: We should be grateful that we have enough. But don't

85
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: settle there. That's not your destiny. He is a more

86
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 4: than enough god.

87
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 6: He wants you to have an abundance so you can

88
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 6: be a blessing to those around you. And this is

89
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 6: where the Israelites missed it. They had been in slavery

90
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 6: for so many years that they became conditioned to not

91
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 6: heaven enough to barely getting by. When Froh got upset

92
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 6: with Moses, he told his foreman to have the Israelites

93
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 6: make the same amount of bricks without the hay and

94
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 6: straw being provided for them. I'm sure the Israelites prayed, God,

95
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 6: please help us to make our quotas. God, please help

96
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 6: us to find these supplies that we need. They prayed

97
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 6: from a slave mentality, from a limited mindset. Instead of

98
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 6: asking to be free from their oppressors, they were asking

99
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 6: to become better slaves. Instead of praying for what God

100
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 6: promised them, the land flowing with milk and honey, they

101
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 6: prayed that God would help them function bet her in

102
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 6: their dysfunction. Are you asking today to become a better slave?

103
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 6: Are you asking for the abundant, overflowing, more than enough.

104
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 4: Life that God has for you.

105
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 6: God says you are to reign in life, that you

106
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 6: are blessed and you cannot be cursed, That whatever you

107
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 6: touch will prosper and succeed.

108
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 4: Don't pray to get by to endure.

109
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 6: Dare to ask big, ask for what God promised you.

110
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 6: The medical report may not look good, That's okay. There's

111
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 6: another report. God, you said you would restore health back

112
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 6: into me. You said the number of my days you

113
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 6: will fulfill. Maybe you've gone through a disappointment, a bad break.

114
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 6: Don't pray God help me to deal with this loneliness. God,

115
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 6: help me to put up with this depression.

116
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: That's a slave mentality. Turn it around. God, you said

117
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 4: you would give.

118
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 6: Me beauty for these ashes, joy for this morning, that

119
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 6: you would pay me back double for this unfair situation.

120
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 4: Or your dream may look impossible. You don't see how

121
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 4: it could work out.

122
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 6: God, you said your blessings would chase me down, that

123
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 6: I'm surrounded by favor, that goodness and mercy are following me,

124
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 6: that you would give me the desires of my heart.

125
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 6: Take the limits off of God and ask big. Not

126
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 6: from a slave mentality, not a limited mindset. Don't ask

127
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 6: God to help you function better in your dysfunction. Ask

128
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 6: him for your dreams, Ask him for new levels, ask

129
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 6: him for explosive blessings.

130
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 4: Ask him to propel you into your purpose. This is

131
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 4: what a lady I know did.

132
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 6: She has four small grandchildren that she ended up having

133
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 6: to raise. She wasn't planning on it. Something happened with

134
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 6: her daughter, and at first she was a little discouraged,

135
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 6: not knowing how it was going to work out. Three

136
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 6: of these children were in private schools. It was very expensive,

137
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 6: and this grandmother didn't have the extra funds. She could

138
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 6: have prayed from a slave mentality, God is not fair,

139
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 6: I'll never be able to really provide for my grandchildren.

140
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 6: Just help us to survive.

141
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 4: Instead, she had this boldness to ask big.

142
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 6: She said, God, I don't have the funds to keep

143
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 6: my grandchildren in private school.

144
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 4: But I know you own it all. You're a God

145
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 4: of abundance.

146
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 6: God, I'm asking you to make a way, even though

147
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 6: I don't see how it could ever happen. She owed

148
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 6: a small amount for them to finish that first year.

149
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 6: She went up to the school to pay, and the

150
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 6: secretary called up her records on the computer and said, no,

151
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 6: you don't owe anything. Everything's all paid up. She said,

152
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 6: that couldn't be. I have the notice right here. This

153
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 6: says that I owe this amount. Secretary turned the monitor

154
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 6: around and said, no, ma'am, it says right here. All

155
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 6: three of these children's tuitions have been paid, not only

156
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 6: for the rest of this year, but all the way

157
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 6: through the eighth grade. An anonymous donor stepped up, pre

158
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 6: paid it for years to come. Friends, God can make

159
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 6: things happen that you could never make happen. He's already

160
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 6: placed abundance in your future.

161
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 4: It's already lined.

162
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 6: Up the right people, the breaks you need, doors to

163
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 6: open that you could never open.

164
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: My question is are you asking big.

165
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 6: Or are you letting your circumstances how you were raised,

166
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 6: what somebody said.

167
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 4: Talk you out of it.

168
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 6: If you go through life only pray and barely get

169
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 6: by prayers, you'll miss the fullness.

170
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 4: Of your destiny.

171
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 6: But when you get this in your spirit, that the

172
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 6: God who breathed life into you, the God who called you,

173
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 6: set you apart, crowned you with favor, is a more

174
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 6: than enough God, and abundant God and overflowing God, then

175
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 6: you'll have this boldness to ask for big things.

176
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 4: Not to just manage the addiction, but.

177
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 6: To be free from the addiction. Not to just pay

178
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 6: your bills, but to be totally out of debt, so

179
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 6: you can be a blessing to us. Not to just

180
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 6: see your child get back on the right course, but

181
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 6: that God would use.

182
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 4: Him to make his mark in this generation.

183
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 6: Matthew Chapter twenty, Jesus was walking through a town and

184
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 6: there were two blind men on the side of the road.

185
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 4: When they heard all the commotion, they started shouting, Jesus,

186
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 4: have mercy on us.

187
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 6: Jesus walked over to them and said, what is it

188
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 6: that you want me to do for you? Seemed like

189
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 6: a strange question. It's obvious what they needed.

190
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: They were blind. Why did Jesus ask them? He wanted

191
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 4: to see what they were believing. They could have said, Jesus,

192
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 4: we just need some help out here. We're blind.

193
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 6: We just need a little better place to live. If

194
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 6: they would have asked from a limited mentality.

195
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 4: It would have kept them in defeat.

196
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 6: Instead, they asked big. They said, Lord, we want to see.

197
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 4: We want our.

198
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 6: Eyes to be open. They were saying, we know you

199
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 6: can do the impossible. When Jesus heard their bequest, he

200
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 6: touched their eyes and instantly they could see. God is

201
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 6: asking us the same thing. He asked those two blind.

202
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: Men, what is it that you want me to do

203
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 4: for you?

204
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 6: Now, how you answer is going to have a great

205
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 6: impact on what God does. Don't say, God, I just

206
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 6: want to make it through this year. Have you seen

207
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 6: the price of oil? God, my family is so dysfunctional.

208
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 4: Just help us to survive.

209
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 6: God, I don't like my job. Just help me to

210
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 6: endure it. That is going to limit your destiny. Do

211
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 6: like these blind men, dare to ask Big God. I

212
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 6: want to be free from this addiction. God, I want

213
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 6: to meet the right person.

214
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 4: God.

215
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 6: I want to see my whole family serve you. God,

216
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 6: I want to start my own business. Ask for your dreams,

217
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 6: ask for things that even seem impossible.

218
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 4: James, Chapter four.

219
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 6: The scripture says, you ask and do not receive because

220
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 6: you ask a miss. That word a miss in the

221
00:10:54,679 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 6: original language means sick, weak, miserable. When we asked to

222
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 6: become better slaves, that's a sick prayer. When we ask

223
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 6: to get by, to endure, to barely make it, that's

224
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 6: a weak prayer. That's asking a miss. God is saying

225
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 6: I created the whole universe.

226
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 4: I own it all.

227
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 6: Don't come to me with a sick prayer, a weak

228
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 6: prayer asking me to help you live better in mediocrity,

229
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 6: endure the trouble, survive another month.

230
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 4: No, when you come to me, ask Big, knowing that

231
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 4: I'm a God of more than enough.

232
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 6: He's saying, ask me to show out in your life,

233
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 6: ask me to heal you.

234
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 4: From that disease.

235
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 6: Ask me to accelerate your goals. When you ask big.

236
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 4: God calls that a healthy prayer.

237
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 6: That's when he says, to the angels, go to work,

238
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 6: release my favor, loose those chains, open up some new doors.

239
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 4: Well, Joel, I'm just praying that I'll make it through

240
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 4: this tough times. Business is really slow. Can I say

241
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 4: this respectfully. That's a sick prayer. That prayer has the flow.

242
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 4: That prayer is the prayers.

243
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 6: But I'm just praying that I'll learn how to manage

244
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 6: this addiction. Grandmother had it, mother had it, Now I

245
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 6: do too. That's a weak prayer. Your attitude should be God.

246
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 6: This addiction keeps getting passed.

247
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 4: Down in my family line.

248
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 6: But I believe this is a new day that You've

249
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 6: raised me up to put a stop to it. That

250
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 6: I will be the one to break the generational curse

251
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 6: and start the generational blessing.

252
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 4: Don't ask to become a better slave. Ask to be

253
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 4: the difference maker. Ask to set a new standard.

254
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 6: When you say, God, help me to get that scholarship

255
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 6: so I can go to college, that's not just being hopeful,

256
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 6: just being positive.

257
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 4: That's your faith being released. That's what allows God.

258
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 6: To do great things, or God, I don't have the

259
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 6: funds for the building project just yet. But Lord, I

260
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 6: want to thank you that opportunity is headed my way,

261
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 6: that blessings are chasing me down.

262
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 4: No more sick prayers. Take the limits off of God.

263
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 4: Ask big. This is the year for God to show.

264
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 6: Out in your life, to accelerate his goodness, to.

265
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 4: Propel you into your destiny.

266
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 6: This is what a man did in the Scripture by

267
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 6: the name of jay Bez. His name literally means pain, sorrow, suffering.

268
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 6: Every time someone said hello Jabz, they were saying hello trouble,

269
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 6: Hello sorrow, Hello pain. They were prophesying defeat and failure.

270
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 6: You can imagine how he could have let that keep

271
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 6: him in mediocrity, make him feel inferior, insecure. There was

272
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 6: something different about Jabez, despite his rough upbringing, despite what

273
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 6: people labeled him. He looked up to the heavens and said, God,

274
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 6: I'm asking you to bless me.

275
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 4: Indeed, he could have just said God, bless me.

276
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 6: That would have been okay, but he had this boldness

277
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 6: to ask big. Here's a man that was supposed to

278
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 6: have trouble, heartache, lived a pro defeated, but he shook

279
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 6: off the slave mentality his attitude. It doesn't matter what

280
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 6: people said about me, doesn't matter what my circumstances look like.

281
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 4: I know who I am, a child of the most

282
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 4: tied God.

283
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 6: He went on to say, God, enlarge my territories. He

284
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 6: was saying, God, help me to go beyond the norm.

285
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 6: Let me see abundance, let me see more of your favor.

286
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 6: I'm sure thoughts told him, Jabez, God's not gonna bless you.

287
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 4: You come from the wrong family.

288
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 6: Your own parents labeled you sorrow, pain, trouble. But people

289
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 6: don't determine your destiny.

290
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 4: God does.

291
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 6: The scripture says God granted.

292
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 4: Jabez his requests. God blessed him.

293
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 6: Indeed, like Jabez, you may have plenty of reasons to

294
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 6: settle where you are. What you didn't get, what people said,

295
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 6: how impossible it looks. The odds may be against you.

296
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 6: But the good news is God is for you. He

297
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 6: is more powerful than any force that's trying to stop you.

298
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 6: He knows how to make up for what you didn't get.

299
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 6: He can thrust you further than you ever imagine. But

300
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 6: you have to do like Jabez and pray bold prayers,

301
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 6: ask in spite of what the circumstances look like. Ask

302
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 6: in spite of what people are telling you. Ask in

303
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 6: spite of what.

304
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 4: The enemy keeps whispering in your ear.

305
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 6: Jabez could have prayed a weak, sick prayer, thought, God,

306
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 6: I've had some bad breaks, had a rough upbringing. God,

307
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 6: I'm just asking you to help me to survive. If

308
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 6: he would have done that, we wouldn't be talking about

309
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 6: him today. If you're going to beat the odds, stand

310
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 6: out in the crowd, if you're going to reach your

311
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 6: highest potential, you have to learn this principle to ask

312
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 6: big God said in Psalm Too from the message translation,

313
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 6: you're my son, and today is your birthday.

314
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 4: What do you want nations as a present? Continence as

315
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 4: a prize. You can command them all to dance for you.

316
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 6: Notice how big God thinks, what do you want nations

317
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 6: as a present. Sometimes we're praying for a three dollars

318
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 6: an hour raise. God's talking about giving you nations. We're

319
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 6: praying for a promotion. God's got a business for you

320
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 6: to own. We're praying to pay our bills. God's planning

321
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 6: on blessing you so you can pay other people's bills.

322
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 4: We're looking at the five loaves, two fish. God's thinking

323
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 4: about the twelve baskets full left over? What does that mean? Today?

324
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: Is your birthday? On your birthday, more.

325
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 6: Than any other time, you feel entitled to ask for

326
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 6: something out of the ordinary.

327
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 4: Normally, you don't want.

328
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 6: Anybody to go out of the way for you, But

329
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 6: on your birthday, you think, Okay, I'm gonna ask for

330
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 6: that favor. I'm gonna ask for that new outfit, for

331
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 6: that set of golf clubs. You know, over time, as

332
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 6: we get older, our enthusiasm may go down a little.

333
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 4: But think back to when you were a child.

334
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 6: You knew that was your special day and you had

335
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 6: a bowldness to ask for what you really wanted. A

336
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 6: few months ago, a little boy came up to me

337
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 6: out in the hallway. It's about five years old, and

338
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 6: I see him here all the time. He came running

339
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 6: up so excited, said, it's my birthday today. I gave

340
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 6: him a big hug and told him happy birthday, and

341
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 6: I walked about five steps away and came back and

342
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 6: grabbed my leg and set it again. It's my birthday,

343
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 6: but I know you just told me five seconds ago,

344
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 6: and we.

345
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 4: Hugged and did it all again. Like it was the

346
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 4: first time.

347
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 6: This happened again and again and again. I could hardly

348
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 6: get through the hallway. About the seventh time he came

349
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 6: up and grabbed my leg. This time, instead of telling

350
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 6: me it was his birthday, he looked up and said,

351
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 6: what are you gonna get me.

352
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 4: For my birthday?

353
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 6: The reason he kept coming back is because he felt

354
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 6: entitled to a present. He knew it was his special day.

355
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 6: God is saying, when you pray, act like it's your birthday.

356
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 6: Come to me with a boldness. Ask me for what

357
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 6: you really want. Don't be shy, don't hold back. Tell

358
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 6: me your dreams, tell me what you're believing for. Ask

359
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 6: for the secret things I've placed in your heart. When

360
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 6: our son Jonathan was a little boy, he liked Power Rangers.

361
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 6: He never asked for that much, but on his sixth birthday,

362
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 6: he said, Dad, I want that new Power Ranger that

363
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 6: I saw on television, you know, a little action figure.

364
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 4: We went up to the toy store but they were out.

365
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 4: We drove to.

366
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 6: Another one and they didn't have it, and another and

367
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 6: another and another. Normally I would have given up, but

368
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 6: it was his birthday.

369
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 4: I didn't want to disappoint him. Finally we found it,

370
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 4: like an hour away.

371
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 6: Took half the day to get this little fourteen dollar

372
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 6: action figure.

373
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 4: But as a father, I didn't mind going out of

374
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 4: my way.

375
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 6: You know, as parents, you'll do anything for your children,

376
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 6: especially on their birthday.

377
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 4: How much more were your heavenly father make things happen

378
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 4: for you?

379
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 6: Ask him for your dreams, ask him to turn that

380
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 6: child around, ask him for you healing.

381
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 4: You're not inconveniencing God, but.

382
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 6: Joel, God's got bigger things to deal with in me. No,

383
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 6: you are God's biggest deal. You're the apple of his eyes.

384
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 6: You're his most prized possession. Just like I ran all

385
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 6: over the city to find that action figure to give

386
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 6: my son what.

387
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 4: He was dreaming about on his birthday.

388
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 6: God will move heaven and earth to bring about his

389
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 6: destiny in your life.

390
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 4: There to ask big.

391
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 6: Too often, instead of approaching God like it's our birthday,

392
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 6: believing that he'll do something special, we do just the opposite. Joel,

393
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 6: I can't ask for what I really want. That wouldn't

394
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 6: be right, that'd be greedy, that'd be selfish. The scripture says,

395
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 6: it is the father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

396
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 6: Nothing makes God any happier than for him to see

397
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 6: you step up to who you were created to be.

398
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 6: It says to today is your birthday.

399
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 4: What do you want?

400
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 6: Notice today is always in the present. When you get

401
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 6: up tomorrow morning, God is saying, today is your birthday.

402
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 6: Two weeks from now, today is your birthday. Seven years

403
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 6: from now, today is your birthday. Every morning when you

404
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 6: get up, Just imagine God saying, happy birthday, son, Happy

405
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 6: birthday daughter. Why does he do this so you'll have

406
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 6: the boldness to ask for things that you wouldn't normally

407
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 6: ask for it. When I received word that the Compact

408
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 6: Center was coming available, something ignited on the inside.

409
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 4: I knew it was.

410
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 6: Supposed to be ours, but every voice said it's never

411
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 6: going to happen. It's too big. Joel, you don't deserve it.

412
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 6: Who do you think you are to even ask for it?

413
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 6: Instead of believing those lies, I did what I'm asking

414
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 6: you to do. I went to God like it was

415
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 6: my birthday. I said, God, I know this is far

416
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 6: out Normally I'd never asked for it, But God, I

417
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 6: believe you put this in our path is the part

418
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 6: of my destiny. So God, I'm asking you to make

419
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 6: a way, even though I.

420
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 4: Don't see away.

421
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 6: What's interesting, all of the big things I've ever asked for,

422
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 6: I've never once felt like God has said, Joel, you

423
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 6: got a lot of nerve, man, what are you doing

424
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 6: ask for him for that?

425
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 4: Just the opposite.

426
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 6: Down here, I can feel God whispering, Joel. I love

427
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 6: the fact that you dare to ask big. I love

428
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 6: the fact that you believe that I can do the impossible.

429
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 6: And of course you know, everything I've asked for hasn't

430
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 6: come to pass. But the point is, if you'll go

431
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 6: to God with childlike faith, believing that it's your birthday,

432
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 6: asking for things that you wouldn't normally ask for, there

433
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 6: will be times that you see God show out in

434
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 6: your life in ways greater than you ever imagine. This

435
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 6: is what Solomon did in Psalm seventy two. He prayed

436
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 6: what seemed to be a very self centered prayer. He

437
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 6: asked God to make him well known, that his fame

438
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 6: would spread throughout the land, that wealth and honor of

439
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 6: other nations would be brought to him, that kings and

440
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 6: queens would bow down before him. You would think God

441
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 6: would say, Solomon, what's wrong with you?

442
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna make you famous.

443
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna give you this honor, wealth, influence.

444
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 4: You need to learn some humility. But God didn't rebuke him.

445
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 4: God didn't tell him he was selfish and greedy.

446
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 6: God did exactly what he asked for. Solomon became one

447
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 6: of the most famous people of his day. The Queen,

448
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 6: if she became, bowed down before him, brought him gold

449
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 6: and silver.

450
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 4: Here's the key.

451
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 6: The reason God answered that bold prayer is because Solomon

452
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 6: went on to say, God, if you'll make my name famous,

453
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 6: if you'll give me influence and wealth, then I will

454
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 6: use it to help the widows, to take care of

455
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 6: the orphans, to bring justice to the oppress, to give

456
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 6: a voice to those that.

457
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 4: Don't have any voice.

458
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 6: He asked big, not just so he would look impressive,

459
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 6: drive the fanciest chariot, live in the biggest palace. It

460
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 6: was so he could lift the fallen, restore the broken,

461
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 6: help the hrding to advance God's kingdom. God has no

462
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 6: problem giving you influence, honor, wealth, even fame, as long

463
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 6: as your dream in some way is connected to helping others,

464
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 6: to making this world a better place. And God is

465
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 6: raising up a new generation of Solomon's people that have

466
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 6: the boldness to say, God, make me famous in my field.

467
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 4: Let my gifts and talents stand out.

468
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 6: Let my work be so excellent, so inspiring, that people

469
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 6: all around me know who I am.

470
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 4: Not for my.

471
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 6: Glory, but so I can use my influence to advance

472
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 6: your kingdom. Whatever field you're in, medicine, seals, construction, accounting, teaching,

481
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 6: people come to me to see how it's done. Then

482
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 6: use your influence to fix the single mom's car, to

483
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,120

485
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,960

486
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 6: to help those that can't afford it.

487
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: There's no limit to what God.

488
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 6: Would do for you if you'll use what He's given

489
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 6: you to help others. One time I was playing basketball

490
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 6: with some friends and I had to leave early to

491
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 6: go to a doctor's appointment.

492
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 4: A teammate of mine.

493
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 6: Works in the medical field, and he asked me who

494
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 6: I was going to see. I said, doctor Price, a

495
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 6: friend of mine. He kind of looked up and said

496
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 6: the doctor Price. I said, no, just doctor Price. I've

497
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 6: known him for thirty years. He said, is it the

498
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 6: doctor Price that's in infectious medicine?

499
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 4: I said, yes, that's him.

500
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 6: He said, all man, he's the best. He's famous. People

501
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 6: come to see him from all over. I thought, man,

502
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 6: I should start treating him better. But you know what

503
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 6: doctor Price does with his quote, fame, his wealth, his influence.

504
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 6: He uses it to help needy people in third world countries.

505
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 6: Every time you turn around, he and his family are

506
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 6: coming back from Africa. The organization that he started has

507
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 6: donated over a billion dollars worth of medical supplies. They

508
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 6: vaccinated millions of children. A few years back, Tom Shoes

509
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 6: gave him a million pairs of children's shoes. Doctor Price

510
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 6: never dreamed he would be where he is today. God

511
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 6: made him famous, not TMZ famous, famous in his field.

512
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 4: I wonder what would happen.

513
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 6: If you would dare pray, God, make me famous, God

514
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 6: make me to stand out, so I can make a

515
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 6: big difference in this world. There's a young man that

516
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 6: attends here named Troy. He comes from a single parent family,

517
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 6: and his mother has brought him and his brother to

518
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 6: church since they were a little child.

519
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 4: From the time he was a little boy, he's always

520
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 4: had a dream to go to college.

521
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 6: In the natural didn't seem like this single mom would

522
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 6: be able to afford that all the odds were against them.

523
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 6: But through prayer, hard work, God's favor good grades, both

524
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 6: he and his brother received scholarships. Troy's was to Georgetown University,

525
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 6: not only a scholarship for his undergraduate work, but for

526
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 6: his master's degree and his doctorate degree. He's studying political science.

527
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 6: His goal is to one day become the Secretary of

528
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 6: State of US like Solomon. He's prayed, God, give me influence,

529
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 6: give me not toarrie, so I can make the world

530
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 6: a better place. A while back, I was driving on

531
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 6: the freeway. I saw this billboard from a junior college.

532
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 6: It's a picture of Troy. If the captain reads me,
