It's a joy to come into 9 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 2: your homes. And if you're ever in our area, please 10 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: stop by and be a part of one of our services. 11 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 2: I promise you we'll make you feel right at home. 12 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 2: I like to start with something funny, and I heard 13 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 2: about this pastor. He was raising funds for a new auditorium. 14 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 2: He said to the congregation, anyone that will give a 15 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: thousand dollars can pick out the next three hymns. A 16 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 2: little old lady in the back raised her hand, said, Pastor, 17 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: I'll do it. He was so excited, said thank you, ma'am. 18 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,639 Speaker 2: Now which three hymns would you like? She looked over 19 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: the congregation said I'll take him and him and him 20 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 21 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 2: I am what it says, I am, I have what 22 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: it says. I have. I can do what it says 23 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: I can do. Today. I will be taught the word 24 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 25 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In 26 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: Jesus's name, God bless you. I want to talk to 27 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 2: you today about the smile of God. We all have 28 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 2: had people that have done us wrong. It's easy to 29 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: hold on to the hurts and be vindictive and try 30 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 2: to pay them back. But one test we all have 31 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 2: to pass is not just forgiving people, but being good 32 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: to those that haven't been good to us. When they 33 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: betrayed you, when they left you out, it sets you 34 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: back at a disadvantage. It wasn't fair, but God is 35 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: a god of justice. At some point the tables will 36 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: be turned. You'll be up and they'll be down. The 37 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: real test of how high you can go is how 38 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: do you treat people when you have the advantage. They 39 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: hurt you, but now you're in a position of power. 40 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 2: You were promoted and they work for you. Now they're 41 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: at your mercy. It's easy to say thank you, Jesus's 42 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: payback time. Let me show them how it feels to 43 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: be mistreated, pushed down, ignored. You have every right in 44 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 2: one sense, to get even what they did was wrong. 45 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: But the way you pass the test is by showing 46 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: mercy and doing good to those that have done you wrong. 47 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: When God can trust you to handle fevor influence power 48 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: without being vindictive, getting even trying to prove your point, 49 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: then he can take you to new levels. God wouldn't 50 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: have put you in that situation if you couldn't handle it. 51 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: Pass the test. Be merciful, be kind. It's not about them, 52 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 2: it's about you. God is seeing if you're ready to 53 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: be promoted. Can he trust you with more favor? As 54 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 2: long as you're going to use the influence to be vindictive, 55 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: then you'll get stuck. Every person has been hurt. You 56 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: can't live long without having wrongs done to you. The 57 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 2: question is how do you respond? Jesus said, when somebody 58 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 2: takes your coat, give him your shirt too. When they 59 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 2: ask you to go a mile, go two miles. Doesn't 60 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: make sense, that's not fair. It's a test. Here's the key. 61 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: Paying people back is overrated. Being vindictive doesn't bring lasting joy, 62 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: it's temporary. Then it's done. But when you show mercy 63 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 2: to people that have hurt you, when you're kind, to 64 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: someone that you have every right to ignore. When you 65 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 2: help that neighbor that's always rude to you, you will 66 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,839 Speaker 2: feel a joy deep down in your spirit, a contentment, 67 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: a satisfaction. You know what that is. It's the smile 68 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: of God. Somebody may have done you wrong and you've 69 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: taken that first step to forgive, but the last thing 70 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: on your mind is being good to them. You're not 71 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: going to help them, You're not going to show them favor. 72 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: They put you at a disadvantage. They can fend for themselves. 73 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: But there will be a time where you have the advantage, 74 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: where you have the power to either push them down 75 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: further make their life more difficult, or to lift them up. 76 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 2: They don't deserve it. They haven't apologized everything in you 77 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 2: will say walk away. It's not your problem. They're reaping 78 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: what they're sowing. That's an opportunity for you to come 79 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: up higher. Will you help the person that wouldn't help you? 80 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 2: Will you go the extra mile for that coworker that 81 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: left you out? Will you be kind to that relative 82 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: that tried to make you look bad? This is what 83 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: Esau did in the scripture. His brother Jacob cheated him 84 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: his way whole life. He deceived Esau into trading his 85 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 2: birthright for a bowl of soup. A birthright back then 86 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: was extremely valuable. Years later, their father, Isaac was close 87 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: to death and he couldn't see well. Jacob dressed up 88 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 2: like Esau and tricked their father into giving him the 89 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: blessing that belonged to Esau as the firstborn son, the 90 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 2: double portion blessing. When Esau found out about it, he 91 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: was so angry that Jacob had to run for his life. 92 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 2: For years, these two brothers lived the strains from each other, 93 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: and over time God dealt with Jacob. He knew he 94 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 2: had done wrong and he wanted to move back to 95 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: his country where he belonged, so he sent messengers with 96 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: gifts to Esau, telling him that his brother wanted to 97 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: meet him. Esau sent word back saying that he would 98 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: meet Jacob at a certain place and he was bringing 99 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 2: four hundred men. Jacob thought that means one thing, revenge. 100 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,119 Speaker 2: He's going to try to pay me back. The big 101 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: moment finally arrived. Jacob could see Esau coming down the 102 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: road with all of his men. I'm sure Jacob's heart 103 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: was beating fast. He was about to meet the man 104 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: he had deceived and cheated all this time, Esau had 105 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 2: every right to be angry, bitter, vindictive. This was his 106 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 2: big moment to pay his brother back. Jacob had someone 107 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 2: take his family, including his young son Joseph, over to 108 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 2: the side of the road so no one would be hurt. 109 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: When Esau recognized it was Jacob, he took off running 110 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: toward him. Jacob braced himself, but it wasn't what he thought. 111 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 2: Esau grabbed Jacob and hugged him, held on to him, 112 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: told him how much he loved him, how much he 113 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 2: had missed him. He saw his family, he went over 114 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: and hugged Jacob's wife, Rachel, hugged little Joseph. Jacob was 115 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 2: so moved at Esau's kindness, so taken aback. How instead 116 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 2: of trying to get revenge, he was being good to them. 117 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: Jacob said in Genesis thirty three, what a relief it 118 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: is seeing your friendly smile. It's like seeing the smile 119 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: of God. When you do good to people that don't 120 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: deserve it, you are beating the smile of God. When 121 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: you show kindness to that coworker that did you wrong, 122 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 2: when you helped that friend that walked away, when you 123 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: needed them. When you bless that relative that hurts you, 124 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 2: you're not only being the smile of God, but God 125 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: will smile back on you. You are passing the test. 126 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 2: You are proving to God that you can be trusted. Now, 127 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: all those years that Jacob cheated Esau, Jacob had the advantage. 128 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: He was up and Esau was down. But God knows 129 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 2: how to bring justice. Years later, the tables had turned, 130 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: Esau had the advantage. The only way back home for 131 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: Jacob was through Esau's property. Now Jacob was at the 132 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 2: mercy of Esau. Somebody may have put you at a disadvantage. 133 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: They didn't keep their word. They were dishonest like Esau. 134 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 2: It sets you back, But the time is coming where 135 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: the tables will turn. You'll be up and they'll be down. 136 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 2: You'll have the advantage. Now, what you do with the 137 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 2: advantage will determine whether you rise higher or whether you 138 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: stay where you are. The advantage wasn't given to pay 139 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: people back. The advantage is not to get even. The 140 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: advantage is a test. Will you be like Esau and 141 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: be good to them? Will you show them mercy and 142 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 2: help them with what they need? Will you can you 143 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: be the smile of God, Esau said, Jacob, follow me 144 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: and I'll lead you back home. My men and I 145 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 2: will protect you and make sure you get there safely. 146 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: Jacob said in verse fifteen, you have no reason to 147 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 2: be this kind to me. He couldn't understand why Esau 148 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: was being so loving, so forgiving, so kind. You may 149 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: have had people that did you wrong. You have no 150 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 2: reason to be good to them, no reason to forgive, 151 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: no reason to be kind. In fact, you can think 152 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: of a hundred reasons why you shouldn't be good to them. 153 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 2: They left you with young kids to raise on your own. 154 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 2: They played politics, lied about you, and got the promotion 155 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 2: that you deserved. They may have the advantage now, but 156 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 2: at some point, like with Jacob, you will have what 157 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 2: they need. That's when you have to dig your heels 158 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: in and say, I am not going to use this 159 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 2: power to get revenge. I'm going to be good to 160 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 2: them for no reason. I'm going to show them kindness 161 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 2: even though they don't deserve it. Here's the thing. How 162 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: you treat the people that have hurt you is setting 163 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 2: an example for your children. They will respond the way 164 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: you respond if they see you being hateful, holding a grudge, 165 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 2: making disparaging remarks. They'll grow up doing those same things. 166 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: But when they see you being merciful, showing kindness to 167 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: someone you could ignore helping the person that hurts you. 168 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: Not only are you showing God that you're ready to 169 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 2: go higher, but your children will fall in your footsteps. 170 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 2: More than your words, your actions, your example. It is 171 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: making an indelible impact in their hearts. You are teaching 172 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 2: them to be the smile of God. Friends, life is 173 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: not about being as angry, getting revenge, being mean to 174 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 2: people that have been mean to you. That's a shallow 175 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 2: way to live. There is no satisfaction in being vindictive. 176 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 2: You may be happy for a day or two, then 177 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: the bitterness will come right back. If you want to 178 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 2: see real joy, real fulfillment, if you want to lie 179 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 2: down at night and sleep at peace, then be kind 180 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 2: to people for no reason. Show mercy when you have 181 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: the advantage, lift someone up when they push you down. 182 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 2: Be the smile of God. Joey, it's not fair. You 183 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: don't know what they've done to me. If you're basing 184 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 2: your goodness to people on fairness, then you'll get stuck 185 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: because you may be kind to somebody and they're not 186 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 2: kind to you. Here's the key. God will make it 187 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 2: up to you. It may not come from the people 188 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: you're helping. They may not be able to pay you back, 189 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: but God will cause somebody to be good to you. 190 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: Many things, you know this that God asked us to 191 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 2: do are not fair. Wasn't fair for Esau to welcome 192 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 2: Jacob back with open arms and lead him to his house. 193 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 2: He was looking for fairness. He would have paid Jacob 194 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,359 Speaker 2: back by taking his wife, his children, his flocks, his equipment. 195 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: Then he would have the double portion that belonged to 196 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 2: him in the first place. Instead, Esau trusted God to 197 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 2: make it up to him. He trusted God to bring justice. 198 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 2: Are you not showing mercy because it's not fair? They 199 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 2: hurt you, they were wrong, they lied about you. It's 200 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 2: not about being fair. It's about passing the test. That 201 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: person that walked away and now they're asking you to 202 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: help them, it's not fair. It's mercy. It's being the 203 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: smile of God. When you go the extra mile to 204 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 2: show kindness to someone for no reason. God see that 205 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 2: and he will reward you. When you're being the smile 206 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: of God. I can assure you God will smile back 207 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 2: on you. When God pays you back, it will be 208 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: better than anything you could have made happen. Don't be 209 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 2: frustrated because it's not fair. God is keeping the records. 210 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 2: You may sow a seede over here, help someone that 211 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 2: doesn't deserve it. They're not even grateful. That doesn't matter. 212 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 2: You're not doing it just for them. You're doing it 213 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 2: unto God. They don't have to say thanks, don't expect 214 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 2: their appreciation. Let God make it up to you. And 215 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 2: in these times where you're doing the right thing and 216 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: it's unfair, your character is being developed. You're proving to 217 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 2: God that he can trust you. It's easy to be 218 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 2: good to people when they're being good to us. It's 219 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 2: easy to show mercy when they deserve it. They were 220 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: merciful to us. That doesn't take any faith. The real 221 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: test is when they betrayed you and now they need 222 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 2: your help, When they push you down and now you 223 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 2: have the power to promote them, when they've been rude 224 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 2: to you and now they're asking you for a favor. 225 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: Are you going to treat them the way they treated you? 226 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 2: Or are you going to be the smile of God. 227 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 2: I can imagine little Joseph standing on the side of 228 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 2: the road, watching his father Jacob about to meet his 229 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 2: uncle Esau. Joseph knew his father had done wrong. He'd 230 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 2: heard the stories how he had cheated Esau. Now they 231 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 2: were about to meet. Esau came out running. When Joseph 232 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 2: saw him hug his father and not only forgive him, 233 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: but show him mercy and kindness, that seed took root 234 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: in Joseph's heart. He saw his uncle being good to 235 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 2: someone that didn't deserve it. He saw Esau being the 236 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: smile of God. Years later, this little boy Joseph had 237 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: grown up and become the Prime Minister of Egypt, one 238 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 2: of the most powerful people of his day. It wasn't 239 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: easy getting there. As a teenager, he was betrayed by 240 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 2: his brothers. They threw him into a pit, were going 241 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 2: to leave him there to die. Then they saw a 242 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 2: caravan of Ishmaelites coming by. They decided instead to sell 243 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 2: him as a slave to a man named Potterphar. Wasn't fair. 244 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: Joseph didn't understand it, but he kept being his best. 245 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 2: Potterphar's wife falsely accused him. He was put in prison. 246 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 2: All this time, Joseph kept passing the test, doing the 247 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 2: right thing. When it was hard, proving to God that 248 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 2: he could trust him. One day, years later, his brothers 249 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 2: showed up at the palace looking for food. The same 250 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 2: brothers that had thrown him into the pit, the same 251 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 2: ones that had made his life miserable. They didn't recognized Joseph, 252 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 2: They had no idea he was still alive. But Joseph 253 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: recognized them. This was his big chance to pay them back, 254 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: his chance to get even the tables had turned. Instead 255 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: of Joseph being in the pit with no power, at 256 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 2: the mercy of his brothers, now his brothers are in 257 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: the pit, so to speak, at the mercy of Joseph. 258 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 2: They need what he has. There's a famine in the land, 259 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 2: and they've traveled a great distance looking for food. Joseph 260 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 2: is in charge of the food supply. When Joseph looked 261 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 2: at them, he was tempted to say take them away, 262 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 2: put them in prison. He could feel for a moment 263 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 2: the anger, the bitterness rising up saying pay them back. 264 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 2: Then his mind flashed back to that time when he 265 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 2: was a little boy, seeing his uncle Esau forgiving his father, 266 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: being kind to Jacob even though he had done him 267 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 2: great wrong. Joseph looked at his brothers and thought, I'm 268 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 2: not going to treat you the way you've treated me. 269 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: I'm going to do what my uncle did. I'm going 270 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 2: to be good to you. I'm going to show you 271 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 2: kindness that you don't deserve. I'm going to be the 272 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: smile of God. Joseph had the advantage, but he didn't 273 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 2: use his power to get even. He used his power 274 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 2: to be good to them. He could have said, it's 275 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 2: not fair. They have taken away years of my life. 276 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 2: Why should I be kind to them? They threw me 277 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 2: into a pit. Why should I give them food? They 278 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: sold me into slavery. If he was looking for fairness, 279 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 2: he'd have never passed the tesk. If he was counting 280 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 2: on his brothers to pay him back, he would have 281 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 2: sent them to prison because they couldn't do it. People 282 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 2: can't undo every wrong they've done to you. They can't 283 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 2: give you back the years they hurt you, the years 284 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 2: they put you at a disadvantage. Here's the beauty God can. 285 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 2: He said in the Book of Joel, I will restore 286 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 2: the years that had been stolen it. But too often 287 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 2: we're looking at what people can't do. We should be 288 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 2: looking at what God can do. During those thirteen years, 289 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 2: Joseph proved he could be trusted. He was trusted in 290 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 2: Potiphar's house when Potiphar's wife tried to seduce him, Joseph 291 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 2: stayed on the high road. He was trusted in the 292 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: prison set of sitting around bitter he helped the butler 293 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 2: get out when his brother stood in front of him. 294 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 2: God knew he could trust Joseph to not be vindictive. 295 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 2: With those brothers right there, Joseph was so overcome with 296 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 2: emotion he ran out of the room and wept, and 297 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 2: wept so loud that people all through the palace could 298 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: hear him. Having favor doesn't mean you won't feel pain. 299 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 2: Being blessed doesn't mean you won't have hurts. Wasn't easy 300 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 2: for Joseph. All those years being betrayed. He longed to 301 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 2: see his family. There were many sleepless nights, times he 302 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 2: felt forgotten, like his dream would never come to pass. 303 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 2: Seeing his brothers was overwhelming. When he finally revealed to 304 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 2: them who he really was, they were not only speechless, 305 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 2: they were terrified. They knew their life was in his hands. 306 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 2: Joseph looked at them and said, am I God, is 307 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 2: it my job? To punish you. Don't be afraid of me. 308 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 2: I'm going to take care of you and nourish you 309 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 2: and your children. The scripture says he spoke kindly to them, 310 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: reassuring them. Notice he's going to take care of the 311 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 2: people that threw him into the pit. He's going to 312 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 2: nourish the brothers that messed up his life. He's going 313 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 2: to look after their children. That doesn't make sense. But 314 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: when you make this decision to be good to the 315 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 2: people that have done you wrong, to not use the influence, 316 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 2: the power, the advantage to get even, but instead, like Joseph, 317 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 2: you bless those that have hurt you. When God can 318 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 2: trust you, there's no limit to Hahi, He will take you. 319 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 2: Are you letting what somebody did to you keep you 320 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: from going to the next level? Are you trying to 321 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 2: pay them back, waiting till you get the advantage, Then 322 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 2: you're going to show them You're going to be waiting 323 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: for a long time. God won't promote us if we're 324 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 2: going to be revengeful. Let God fight your battles. Let 325 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 2: God be your vindicator. Be a Joseph and be good 326 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 2: to those that have betrayed you. Show mercy to those 327 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 2: that have lied about you. Be kind to that relative 328 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 2: that tried to make you look bad. In the scripture, 329 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 2: there was a captain in the Syrian army named Naeman. 330 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 2: He was a very influential, well respected man, but he 331 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 2: had leprosy. In one of the battles with Israel, he 332 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 2: captured a young lady and brought her back as a maid. 333 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 2: You can imagine how her life was turned upside down. 334 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 2: She was taken from her family, couldn't see her friends, 335 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 2: left everything that was familiar to her. Now she was 336 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: in a foreign country, barely spoke the language. Her hopes 337 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,239 Speaker 2: and dreams and goals all had to be put on 338 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: hold because of this one man, Naeman. It was his 339 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 2: leadership that brought the trouble. You would think she would 340 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 2: be the last person he was concerned about. But every night, 341 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 2: when Naeman took off his armor, she could see how 342 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 2: the leprosy was eating away his flesh. She could have thought, 343 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 2: too bad for you, I hope you do die. You've 344 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 2: messed up my life. She could have hated him, lived bitter, revengeful, 345 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 2: but she understood this principle. She said, sir, there's a 346 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 2: prophet back at home in Israel, where I'm from. If 347 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 2: you'll go see him, he'll pray for you and you'll 348 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 2: get healed. Naam and took the step of faith, went 349 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: to see the prophet, and he was perfectly well. All 350 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 2: because a young lady showed kindness to someone that had 351 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 2: done her wrong. She was being the smile of God. Well, Joel, 352 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 2: I'm not going to help my enemy. That doesn't make sense. 353 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 2: When you withhold good that you can do for others, 354 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 2: God will withhold the good he has for you. But 355 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 2: too often we think, if they wouldn't have hurt me, 356 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 2: then I would help them. If they hadn't made me 357 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 2: look bad in that business meeting, then I'd show them 358 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 2: some shortcuts. But when you sow a seed of kindness, 359 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 2: a seed of forgiveness, a seed of being good to 360 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 2: somebody that's done you wrong, you are showing God that 361 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 2: he can trust you. Your character is coming up higher. 362 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 2: That's when God will release more favor in your own life. 363 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: I talked to a gentleman recently. He's very well known. 364 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 2: For over twenty years, he had been estranged from all 365 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 2: of his brothers and sisters. They had not spoken or 366 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 2: had any kind of contact. They would see him out 367 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 2: in the public eye. He has a lot of success 368 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: and notoriety, but there were things these siblings didn't see 369 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 2: eye to eye on. Their relationship with him was nonexistent. 370 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 2: One day, their eighty year old mother was hit by 371 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 2: a car rushed to the hospital in a coma. All 372 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: of the siblings, including this man, flew in from different 373 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 2: parts of the country and hurried up to the hospital. 374 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 2: After they saw their mother, they gathered in a room. 375 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 2: He said that his siblings, it's time to let it go. 376 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 2: Let's bury all the hurts, the misunderstandings, the harsh words, 377 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 2: and let's start a friend and anew. They all hugged 378 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 2: and wept as their mother lay next door in a coma, 379 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 2: all that is except one brother. He looked at this 380 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 2: man said I can't do it. I can't forgive. They 381 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 2: walked away. His brother went home and he watches us 382 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 2: on television. The next morning, my message came on. It 383 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 2: was all about not holding a grudge, letting things go. 384 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 2: He knew that was God's speaking to him. He went 385 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 2: back the next day and told his brother, I've changed 386 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 2: my mind. I forgive you. They hugged and now all 387 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 2: their relationships have been restored. But What's interesting is the 388 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 2: mother never did wake up from the coma. She passed 389 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 2: a couple months later. The man told me, I think 390 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 2: God kept my mother alive. I think he didn't take 391 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 2: her instantly in that accident, just so all of us 392 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 2: siblings could be restored. Maybe God's having you hear this 393 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 2: so that you you can make things right, so that 394 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 2: you can show mercy to somebody that doesn't deserve it. 395 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 2: It's easy to hold a grudge, try to pay him back, 396 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: make their life miserable. All that's doing is holding you back. 397 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 2: Why don't you be a Joseph. Why don't you be 398 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 2: an Esau and be good to someone that hasn't been 399 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 2: good to you. Why don't you show kindness that they 400 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 2: don't deserve. Why don't you be the smile of God. 401 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 2: The mercy you show others is the mercy people are 402 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 2: going to show you. We all make mistakes at some point, 403 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 2: we're all Joseph. At another point, we're all His brothers. 404 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 2: We need forgiveness. When you're the smile of God, God 405 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 2: will make sure people will always smile back on you. 406 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 2: If you'll do this, I believe and declare because God 407 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 2: can trust you like Joseph. He's going to give you 408 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 2: more influence, more favor, more opportunity. You're going to have 409 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: better relationships, rise higher, and reach the fullness of your 410 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 2: destiny in Jesus's name, and if you receive it, can 411 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 2: you say it? Men? Today, I'd like to give you 412 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 413 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 2: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll 414 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 2: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make 415 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: you my lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed that 416 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 2: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get in 417 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 2: a good Bible based church, and keep God first place. 418 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 3: Our negative thinking can short circuit God's power and blessing 419 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 3: in our lives. When you say, I always seem to worry, 420 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 3: I can't forgive what was done to me. I pray, 421 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 3: but it feels like God doesn't hear. I won't have 422 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 3: enough to provide for me and my family. How do 423 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 3: you overcome this type of negative thinking that limits you 424 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 3: from God's best? 425 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: Our thinking sets the limits for our life. Every morning 426 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 2: you have to power up your mind, get it going 427 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 2: in the right direction, but dwelling on what God says 428 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 2: about you when you think thoughts of faith, hope, and victory, 429 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 2: you'll tap into blessing and favor that belongs to you. Now, 430 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 2: I'd love to send you my newest book. It's called 431 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 2: power Up. I'll show you how to delete negative thoughts 432 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 2: and focus on the promises rather than the problems. 433 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 3: You can discover God's unprecedented power in your life.

But sometimes negative thinking 440 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 3: can short circuit the truth.
