But according to the Alaska 53 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 5: Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female 54 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 5: reindeer grow antlers in the summer, male reindeer lose their 55 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 5: antlers at the start of winter in early November. Female 56 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 5: reindeer keep theirs until the spring. This means that all 57 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 5: of Santa's reindeer, from Rudolph to Blitzen had. 58 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 6: To be female. 59 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 5: She goes on to say, we should have known only 60 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 5: women could drag around a fat men wearing a red 61 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 5: velvet suit all around. 62 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 6: The world in one night and not get lost. Say 63 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 6: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 64 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 6: am what it says. I am. 65 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 66 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 67 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 68 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 69 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 70 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 5: to talk to you today about how you have hidden treasure. 71 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 5: It's easy to get stuck in life till where we 72 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 5: think we've reached our limits. I've gone as far as 73 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 5: I can go, and I'm not that talented. I could 74 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 5: never accomplish my dreams. Now, God wouldn't have given you 75 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 5: the dream and then not given you the ability to 76 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 5: do it. 77 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 6: You have what you need. 78 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 5: The problem many times is it's buried on the inside. 79 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 6: It's hidden treasure. 80 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 5: You have gifts and talents that you've not yet tapped into. 81 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 6: There is potential that is waiting to be released. 82 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 5: When God laid out the plan for your life, he 83 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 5: deposited in you the skill, the wisdom, the creativity, everything 84 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 5: you need to fulfill your destiny. 85 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 6: Now here's the key. 86 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 5: It's not what you have in you that matters, it's 87 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 5: what you get out. If you're going to reach your 88 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 5: highest potential, you have to tap into. 89 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 6: That hidden treasure. 90 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 5: I read where the continent of Africa has more natural 91 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 5: resources than any other continent. They have more gold, more 92 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 5: diamonds than North America, than Europe than Asia. But isn't 93 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 5: it interesting they're one of the poorest continents. Europe and 94 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 5: North America have these big cities, wealth prosperity. 95 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 6: What's the problem. 96 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 5: It's not what's in you, it's what you're getting out. 97 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 5: Buried on the inside of you right now is hidden treasure. 98 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 6: You are full of resources. 99 00:04:55,279 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 5: There are books, movies, songs, ideas, inventions, businesses. 100 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 6: Put in you by the creator of the universe. 101 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 5: Now my challenge is don't die with the treasure still 102 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 5: on the inside. You have something to offer this world 103 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 5: that nobody else can offer. You are a unique, one 104 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 5: of a kind. When God made you, he threw away 105 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 5: the mold. Don't go around wishing you had somebody else's gift. 106 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 5: If you had their gift, it wouldn't help you, it 107 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 5: would hinder you. You're not anointed to be them. You're 108 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 5: anointed to be you. If God wanted you to look 109 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 5: like them and have their personality and do what they 110 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 5: can do, then he would have made you that way. 111 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 6: You have exactly what you need. 112 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 5: You're tall enough, you're smart enough, you're attractive enough, you're 113 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 5: talented enough. Quick comparing yourself to somebody else, You've been 114 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 5: fearfully and wonderfully made. When you walk in your anointing 115 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 5: confidence and who God made you to be, knowing that 116 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 5: you've got what it takes then your hidden treasure, your gifts, 117 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 5: your talents, that. 118 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 6: Potential is going to be released. 119 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 5: You'll step in to the fullness of your destiny. It 120 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 5: says in Ephesians three twenty that God is able to 121 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 5: do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can. 122 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 6: Ask or think. 123 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 5: Here's the key, according to the power that works in you. 124 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 5: Notice it's not according to the power that's in your 125 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 5: neighbor or your boss, your pastor, your priests, the bank, 126 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 5: the stock market. It's according to the power that works 127 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 5: in you. In other words, it depends on what you're believing. 128 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 5: You go around telling yourself, I'm just average, I'm not 129 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 5: that talented. I come from the wrong family, then the 130 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 5: exceeding greatness of God's power is not going to work 131 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 5: in you. That treasure is going to stay buried. 132 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 6: Do yourself a favor. 133 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 5: Quit discounting yourself, Quit belittling yourself. When God created you, 134 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 5: he wasn't having a bad day. He didn't make any mistakes. 135 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 5: You're not lacking, you're not at a disadvantage. You didn't 136 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 5: get short changed. You've been created in the image of 137 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 5: Almighty God. You have treasure on the inside. If that 138 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 5: treasure is going to come out. You have to have 139 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 5: the attitude. I've got what it takes. I'm not waiting 140 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 5: on it. I'm not hoping to get it one day. 141 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 5: I'm not begging somebody to give me a break. I'm 142 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 5: not wishing I look like a friend. No, I realize 143 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 5: it's already on the inside. I'm equipped, empowered, talented, creative, 144 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 5: well able. You live like that and you'll see the 145 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 5: exceeding greatness of God's favor. This is where Sarah in 146 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 5: the scripture almost missed it. God gave her a promise 147 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 5: that she would have a baby, but she was well 148 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 5: beyond the child bearing years, and she thought the promise 149 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 5: would come through somebody else. 150 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 6: That made more say since she was too old. 151 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 5: So she got her husband Abraham, together with a young 152 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 5: maid and they had a baby. Sarah said, thank you Lord, 153 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 5: the promise came to pass. But God said, no, Sarah, 154 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,119 Speaker 5: I didn't put the promise in them. 155 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 6: I put the promise in you. 156 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 5: You have hidden treasure that's still buried in your womb. 157 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 5: But as long as Sarah thought, I'm too old, I'm 158 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 5: at a disadvantage. I don't look like these younger women. 159 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 5: She was talking herself out of what God wanted to do. 160 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 5: How many times do we do the same thing. I 161 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 5: could never be in management, could never write that book, 162 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 5: I could never build that house. No, God is saying 163 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 5: to you what he said to Sarah. I didn't put 164 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 5: the promise in somebody else. I put the promise in you. 165 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 6: The treasure is on the inside. Now. 166 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 5: It may be buried under doubt and fear, buried under disappointments, 167 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 5: what didn't work out, perhaps buried under low self esteem intimidation. 168 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 6: But the good news is the treasure is still in you. 169 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 5: You may have talked yourself out of it, but you 170 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 5: didn't talk God out of it. 171 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,359 Speaker 6: God does not abort dreams. 172 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 5: And if you'll get back in agreement with God, then 173 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 5: what he promised you he will bring to pass. Sarah 174 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 5: was almost one hundred years old when she gave birth. 175 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 6: To a baby boy named Isaac. 176 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 5: The treasure came out, not through somebody else. Wasn't according 177 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 5: to the power in her maid or in her husband. 178 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 6: The greatness of God's power was released when she chose 179 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 6: to believe. She rose up and said, hey, wait a minute, 180 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 6: this is my time, this is my destiny. 181 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 5: I am not going to sit on the sidelines. I've 182 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 5: got something kicking on the inside. I've got potential, dreams, gifts, 183 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 5: promises that are waiting. 184 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 6: To be released. 185 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 5: I want to light that same fire under you today. 186 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 5: Some of you have been sitting on the sidelines, celebrating 187 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 5: everybody else, content to see the promises come to pass 188 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 5: in their life. 189 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 6: And that's good. 190 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 5: But God wants to do something amazing in your life. 191 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 6: He wants you to be celebrated. You don't have to 192 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 6: sit on the sidelines. You have buried treasure. 193 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 5: There are promises that God has spoken over you, dreams 194 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 5: that he wants you to give birth to. It's not 195 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 5: too late, you're not too old. It may look impossible, 196 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 5: but our God can do the impossible. When you believe, 197 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 5: favor is released, when you believe hidden treasure comes forth, 198 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 5: when you believe, like Sarah, you're going. 199 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 6: To give birth to those promises. 200 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 5: It's interesting. When Sarah first heard the news that she 201 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 5: was going to have a baby, the scripture says it 202 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 5: was so far out she began to laugh. I can 203 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 5: hear her say, and Abraham, a baby, are you kidding? 204 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 6: I've gone through. 205 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 5: The change of life that defies the laws of nature. 206 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 5: She was saying I'm at a disadvantage. 207 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 6: I don't have what it takes. 208 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 5: Belittling herself, discounting herself. That's going to keep the treasure buried. 209 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 5: I've learned it's just as easy to talk yourself into 210 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 5: it as it is to talk yourself out of it. 211 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 5: Instead of thinking of all the reasons why you can't 212 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 5: get well, why you can't accomplish a dream, why your 213 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 5: marriage is not going to last. It's too late, I've 214 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 5: made too many mistakes. No, zip that up, and instead 215 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 5: of talking yourself out of it, start talking yourself into it. 216 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 5: I can do all things through Christ. God is making 217 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,119 Speaker 5: a way, even though I don't see a way. I'm anointed, equipped, talented, 218 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 5: more than a conquer Well Joel, this sounds good, but 219 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 5: I don't see how it could get well. This sickness 220 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 5: has been in my family line for five generations. 221 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 6: My grandmother died of the same thing. 222 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 5: If you keep talking like that, it's going to be 223 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 5: six generations. Why don't you start talking yourself into it. 224 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 5: God is restoring health back into me. The number of 225 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 5: my days he will fulfill. The tide of this battle 226 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 5: is turning. 227 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 6: I will live and not die. 228 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 5: In the scripture, God gave a promise to Jeremiah that 229 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 5: he would become a great prophet. 230 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 6: And speak to the nations. But Jeremiah was young and afraid. 231 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 6: He didn't see how it could happen. 232 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 5: He started telling God all the reasons why it wouldn't 233 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 5: work out. He said, God, when I get up to speak, 234 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 5: people mock me and make fun of me. I'm young, 235 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 5: I'm tired, I'm intimidated. 236 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 6: On and on. Just when you thought he was. 237 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 5: Going to talk himself out of it, he said in 238 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 5: Jeremiah twenty verse nine, your word in my heart is 239 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 5: like fire shut up in my bones. He was saying, God, 240 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 5: I may not see how it can happen. All the 241 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 5: odds are against me, but this promise you put. 242 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 6: In me will not go away. It's like a fire. 243 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 6: It's alive. I can't get away from it. 244 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 5: You may be at a place right now where you 245 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 5: could easily give up on what God has put in 246 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 5: your heart. But I believe, like Jeremiah, there is fire 247 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 5: shut up in your bones. What God promised you will 248 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 5: not die. 249 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 6: You can ignore it. 250 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 5: You can try to talk to yourself out of it. 251 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 5: Your mind may tell you that it's never. 252 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 6: Going to happen. But deep down, you're going to feel. 253 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 5: A stirring, a burning, a restlessness. That's the promise God 254 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 5: put in you. He loves you too much to let 255 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 5: you be average. He's going to push you into greatness. 256 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 5: Your hidden treasure is about to come out. You need 257 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 5: to get ready. The gifts, the talents, the skills, the ideas, 258 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 5: the untapped potential is about to come forth. You're going 259 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 5: to step into a new season. You're going to feel 260 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 5: a boldness. 261 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 6: To do things that you've never done. It's going to 262 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 6: be a supernatural strength. 263 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 5: God is going to open doors that no man can shut. Now, 264 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 5: don't shrink back intimidated. The creator of the universe has 265 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 5: not only equipped and empowered you, but he's breathing in your. 266 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 6: Direction right now. 267 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 5: He's breathing favor, breathing healing, confidence, restoration. See a lot 268 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 5: of times we hear about what we can't do, But 269 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 5: I want to tell you what you can do. You 270 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 5: can accomplish your God given dreams. 271 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 6: You can live healthy and whole. 272 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 5: You can overcome every obstacle. You can set a new 273 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 5: standard for your family. You are not average, You're not ordinary. 274 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 6: You have treasure on the inside. When I was a 275 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 6: little boy growing up. 276 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 5: Our next door name had a big German shepherd dog 277 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 5: in their backyard, and even though their yard was fenced off, 278 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 5: they always kept the dog on a leash. And one day, 279 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 5: when I was about nine years old, I was playing 280 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 5: baseball in the backyard with some friends and the ball 281 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 5: went over into the neighbor's yard. I didn't think much 282 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 5: about it. I'd been over there many times. I got 283 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 5: my ladder and I climbed over our six foot fence. 284 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 5: When I got to the ball, the dog was about 285 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 5: fifty yards away. When he saw me, he took off 286 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 5: running toward me ninety miles an hour. 287 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 6: My heart sunk. For some reason, he wasn't on a 288 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 6: leash that day, I knew I was as good as dead. 289 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 6: I turned around and took off, running toward. 290 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 5: My fence as fast as I could, the whole time 291 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 5: under my breast, saying, Lord, forgive me of my sins. 292 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 5: I'm about to come meet you. When I got to 293 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 5: the fence, all in one motion, I grabbed it with 294 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 5: one hand and I jumped as high as I could, 295 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 5: and somehow I got over that fence. 296 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 6: Right before the dog got to me. I was just 297 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 6: a little boy. 298 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 5: I had practically jumped over a six foot fence. And 299 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 5: you know the saying white men can't jump. That day 300 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 5: I jumped. 301 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 6: Here's my point. That dog helped me to. 302 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,119 Speaker 5: Discover potential that I didn't. 303 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 6: Know I had. That dog helped me. 304 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 5: To find some hidden treasure. I had never jumped that 305 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 5: high before. The truth is, I have never jumped that 306 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 5: high sense. You don't really know what's on the inside 307 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 5: until you put a demand on your potential. Some of 308 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 5: you are going to be offered a position that you 309 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 5: think is way over your head. You're gonna be tempted 310 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 5: to shrink back. I can't do that. I'm not qualified. 311 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 5: I don't have the experience. 312 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 6: No, it may be over your head, but it is 313 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 6: not over God's head. 314 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 5: He has already deposited in you everything that you need. 315 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 5: God wouldn't have given you the opportunity, nor put the 316 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 5: desire in you if. 317 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 6: You didn't already have everything you need. 318 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 5: When you rise up with boldness, with confidence, then you're 319 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 5: going to see new gifts, new talents, new strengths, new confidence. 320 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 5: All these things are going to come up out of you. 321 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 6: They're on the inside. 322 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 5: You just have to work with God to get them out. 323 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 5: Some of you are going to have an opportunity to 324 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 5: go back and finish school, or to change careers, or 325 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 5: maybe to start your own business. The easy thing to 326 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 5: do is to play it safe and stay where you're comfortable. 327 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 5: But if you're going to see this hidden treasure come out, 328 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 5: you've got to be willing to do something that. 329 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 6: You've never done. 330 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 5: If you're going to walk on water, you've got to 331 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 5: get out of the boat. You can't play it safe 332 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 5: whole life and expect to reach your highest potential. 333 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 6: You've got to be willing to take some risk. 334 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 5: I want you to feel this new sense of confidence, 335 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 5: new boldness. 336 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 6: You are full of possibility. Don't sit around thinking about 337 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 6: what you can't do. 338 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 5: I could never be in management. I could never speak 339 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 5: in front of people like to you, Joel. I could 340 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 5: never jump over that six foot fence. 341 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 6: I bet you could. If you saw that German shepherd chasing. 342 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 5: You, you would discover things in you that you never 343 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 5: knew you had. Paul told Timothy in the scripture Stir 344 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 5: Up your Gifts. God is saying, I'm about to take 345 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 5: you someplace that you've never been.

Well, Joel, I'm not that talented. I 348 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 5: could never lead my company in sales. 349 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 6: Who told you that? 350 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 5: The creator of the universe says you have everything you 351 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 5: need to excel. You are equipped, you are empowered, you 352 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 5: are anointed. 353 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 6: This is your season to come up higher. 354 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 5: God is about to release hidden treasure that's been buried 355 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 5: on the inside. 356 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 6: Get ready to do something that you've never done. Get 357 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 6: ready to go places that you've never been. 358 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,719 Speaker 5: I love the story of Susan Boyle, our special guest today. 359 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 5: Many of you have seen Susan singing on Britain's Got 360 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 5: Talent when she surprised the judges and the world with 361 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 5: her incredible voice. What you may not realize was Susan 362 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 5: had not had an easy life. She was the youngest 363 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 5: of nine children. Her father was a miner struggling to. 364 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 6: Keep the family going. 365 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 5: When she was born, her mother had trouble with the 366 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 5: delivery and Susan went without oxygen during the childbirth. While 367 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 5: the doctors were pleased that she survived, they told her 368 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 5: parents expect anything from Susan. She's at a disadvantage. She's 369 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 5: had this problem during birth. She'll never amount to that much. 370 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 5: But what they didn't know was what Almighty. 371 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 6: God had placed on the inside. 372 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 5: The doctors gave information from a medical point of view. 373 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 5: They did their part, but there was hidden treasure that 374 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 5: nobody could see. Medical science said, you know, birth injury, 375 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 5: slow learner, at a disadvantage. 376 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 6: God said, masterpiece, one of a kind, equate, empowered. Now Susan, she. 377 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 5: Could have let the experts talk her into settling for 378 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 5: an average, ordinary life, thought, hey, I'm at a disadvantage. 379 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 6: It's not my fault. 380 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 5: I've had this troubled during birth. Now she had this attitude, 381 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 5: there is a treasure. 382 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 6: On the inside of me. I'm not going to go 383 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 6: through life. 384 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 5: In self pity, focused on what I don't have. I 385 00:20:58,560 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 5: know there's something that I do. 386 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 6: You have. I've been fearfully and wonderfully made. 387 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 5: At the age of forty eight, her parents had both 388 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 5: passed away. 389 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 6: Susan was living alone. 390 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 5: Looked like the odds were against her. Didn't know how 391 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 5: she's going to make ends meet. She could have gotten discouraged, 392 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 5: but early one morning, she took a bus headed toward 393 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 5: a singing competition in another city. 394 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 6: She had never traveled that far alone. 395 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 5: She accidentally got on the wrong bus and ended up 396 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 5: taking six buses to get to the venue. 397 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 6: When she walked on the stage, you've seen the shows. 398 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 5: Most of the contestants were very young, real hip, really 399 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 5: super cool, and when she went out it seemed like 400 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 5: quite a contrast. The lead judge, Simon cow asked what 401 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 5: she wanted to do, and she said sing. Some of 402 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 5: the audience began to snicker and laugh. They thought, here's 403 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 5: another performance. 404 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 6: That we're going to have to endure. 405 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 5: But when Susan opened her mouth and started seeing, the 406 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 5: whole world listen to. 407 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 6: Her that clip. 408 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 5: That clip was viewed over three hundred million times on YouTube. 409 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 6: The most ever. News organizations from around the. 410 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 5: Globe carry the story with the headline the voice that 411 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 5: stunned the world. Here's my point, there is a treasure 412 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 5: on the inside of every person. 413 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 6: God did not leave anybody out. 414 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 5: Does it matter what people have spoken over you, Does 415 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 5: it matter how many disadvantages you've had, or how many 416 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 5: odds are against you, if you'll just keep doing like Susan, 417 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 5: not get discouraged, not let people talk you out of it, 418 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 5: not let your own thoughts tell you you're just average, 419 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 5: You're ordinary, nothing special about you, No just keep taking 420 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 5: those steps of faith, honoring God, being your best, talking 421 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 5: yourself into it instead of talking yourself out of it. 422 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 5: You do that, and your treasure is going to be 423 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 5: released like God did for her. God will take you 424 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,959 Speaker 5: places that you've never dreamed of. I'll read a story 425 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 5: about a five year old boy that loved the piano. 426 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 5: The only song he really knew how to play was Chopsticks. 427 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 6: Just a very simple tune. 428 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 5: One day, his father surprised him with tickets to the 429 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 5: symphony to hear this world renowned Italian pianist. This man 430 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 5: was one of the greatest piano players that had ever lived. 431 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 5: That night, on the way to their seats, the little 432 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 5: boy noticed the beautiful grand. 433 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 6: Piano up on the stage. 434 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 5: When no one was watching, He snuck over and sat 435 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 5: down and began to play his elementary version of Chopsticks. 436 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 5: About that time, the curtain began to rise. Everyone was 437 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 5: expecting to see this world renowned pianist. Instead they saw 438 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 5: this little five year old boy. He was so caught 439 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 5: up in his world he didn't realize what was happening. 440 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 5: When he finally looked up, he was petrified. Just as 441 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 5: he was about to take off running toward his seats. 442 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 6: He felt two big arms reaching around him. 443 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 5: It was the world renowned pianist. He whispered in the 444 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 5: little boy's ears, keep playing. As that little boy kept 445 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 5: playing that simple rendition of chopsticks, this world renowned pianist 446 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 5: started playing a Beethoven symphony piece that was scored in 447 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 5: the same cadence and the same key. Under the direction 448 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 5: of the Master, he brought the rest of the orchestra in, 449 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 5: first the woodwinds, then the percussion, then the brass. 450 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 6: The father sat there in the audience with tears. 451 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 5: He never dreamed that simple tune that he had heard 452 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 5: in his home so many times would no longer sound 453 00:24:54,760 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 5: like chopsticks, but it would become a beautifully inspired, fully 454 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 5: perfected Beethoven symphony. 455 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 6: What happened the Master stepped in. 456 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 5: Sometimes in life you may not feel like you have 457 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 5: the talent, the strength, the ability. But the good news 458 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 5: is God does. When you use what you have, the 459 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 5: Master will show up. 460 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 6: God will put. 461 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 5: His hands over your hands. He'll take what you think 462 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 5: is very average, average talent, average skills, average education. But 463 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 5: when the Master steps in, he'll mix his super with 464 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 5: your average, and amazing things will begin to happen. When 465 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 5: I first started ministering fourteen years ago, after my father 466 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 5: went to be with the Lord. My sermons were very elementary, 467 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 5: very basic, and don't you say amen? Kind of like 468 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 5: that little boy. It was like I was playing chopsticks. 469 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 5: I was doing the best that I could, using what 470 00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 5: God had given me. 471 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 6: The thought just told me, Joe, you're not a minister. 472 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 6: You don't have what it takes. 473 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,239 Speaker 5: I would replace those thoughts with I can do all 474 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 5: things through Christ. 475 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 6: I'm equipped, anointed, empowered. 476 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 5: Instead of talking myself out of it, I talked myself 477 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 5: into it. What happened, The Master stepped in. God put 478 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 5: his hands on my hands. He brought ability out of 479 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 5: me that I didn't know I had. 480 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 6: The treasure began to be released. 481 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 5: You may feel like you could never accomplish what God's 482 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 5: put in your heart. You don't have the resources, the education, 483 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 5: the talent. You may not, but God does. When you 484 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 5: make a move, God makes a move. I would still 485 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 5: be sitting on the sidelines if I had not taken 486 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 5: that step of faith. Every voice told me not to 487 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 5: do it. I was nervous, I felt unqualified, inexperienced. 488 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 6: But when I got out. 489 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 5: Of my safe zone and over into the faith zone. 490 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 5: The Master stepped in. God will bring things out of 491 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 5: you that you didn't know you had. In the coming days, 492 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 5: as you stretch your faith, you're going to discover confidence 493 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 5: and abilities that you didn't know was in you. Instead 494 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 5: of just playing chopsticks, you're going to hear the woodwinds 495 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 5: join in. Supernatural breaks are going to come your way. 496 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 6: Just when you think it can't get any better, the. 497 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 5: Brass, the percussion will join in the right people, the 498 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 5: right opportunities. 499 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 6: Before long, it's going to sound like a beautiful symphony. 500 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 5: You'll know, like I do, this is not just my talent, 501 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 5: my ability. This is the Master stepping in, God taking 502 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 5: my ordinary and making it extraordinary. Let me ask you today, 503 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 5: if your time on Earth was up this week, is 504 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 5: there something that we're missing out on? Is your treasure 505 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 5: buried under doubt, fear, under what somebody said?
