This 61 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 4: is my Bible. 62 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 6: I am what it says I am. I have what 63 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 6: it says I have. I can do what it says 64 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 6: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 65 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 6: of God. I boldly confess. Yes, my mind is alert, 66 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 6: my heart is receptive.

Many people are not 69 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 6: reaching their potential, not because they're not talented, not because 70 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 6: they don't have favor it's because their vision is limited. 71 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 4: They don't see themselves. 72 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 6: Accomplishing their dreams, being blessed, living healthy. But you will 73 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 6: never rise any higher than the way you see yourself 74 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 6: through your eyes of faith. 75 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 4: You need to see yourself the way you want to be. 76 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 6: You may be fighting in illness, but you need to 77 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 6: see yourself healthy. 78 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 4: You're struggling in your finances, you. 79 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 6: Need to see yourself out of death, with an abundance, 80 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 6: being a blessing to others. If you're dealing with an addiction, 81 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 6: don't let that negative image take root. Don't see yourself defeated, dysfunctional. 82 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 4: Can't break it. Get a new image. See yourself free, see. 83 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 6: Yourself whole, See yourself as an overcomer. Your inner vision 84 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 6: is setting the limits for your life. The pictures you 85 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 6: keep in front of you in your imagination, that's what 86 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 6: you're moving toward, even subconsciously, just like a magnet, you're 87 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 6: being pulled toward what you're seeing. You may struggle with 88 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 6: low self esteem. Sometimes you feel inferior, like you don't 89 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 6: measure up. You have to change that picture. Get in 90 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 6: agreement with how God sees you. He said you are 91 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 6: fearfully and wonderfully made. He calls you a masterpiece, one 92 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 6: of a kind. Why don't you get your image in 93 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 6: line with God's image. If you'll change your pictures, you'll 94 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 6: change your life.

Negative, a victim. 98 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 6: I've been through so much. Life's not fair. I'm just 99 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 6: struggling to make it. That's the wrong picture. 100 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 4: God said he has beauty for those ashes. 101 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 6: He said he'd pay you back double for the unfair things. 102 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 6: Get rid of the image of a defeated you, a 103 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 6: lonely you, a victim.

I don't want to see myself that way. 117 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 6: How about having that same attitude when it comes to 118 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 6: the picture in your mind?

You have to conceive it on the inside. 129 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,119 Speaker 6: Then God can bring it to pass on the outside. 130 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 6: When my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, she was 131 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 6: very frail, her skin was yellow. 132 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 4: Her voice was weak. 133 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 6: There was nothing medically speaking that could be done. You 134 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 6: can imagine the pictures that were trying to dominate her mind. 135 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 6: She told how in the middle of the night, thoughts said, 136 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 6: you can be buried in that new pink dress you 137 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 6: just bought. She had to fight those negative images. One 138 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 6: thing she did is she put pictures of herself up 139 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 6: all over the house from a time when she was healthy. 140 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 4: She had her wedding pictures on the refrigerator in the den. 141 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 6: On her bathroom mirror, she had a picture of her 142 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 6: riding a horse in Montana. She had a big smile, 143 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 6: having so much fun. I came home from college and thought, 144 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 6: what are all these pictures doing up? Do you know 145 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 6: what my mother was doing? She was creating a new 146 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 6: image on the inside. When she looked in the mirror, 147 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 6: she saw death staring back at her. 148 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: Defeat, sickness, I'll never get well. 149 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 6: But when she looked at those pictures, she saw herself 150 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 6: the way she wanted to be, healthy, vibrant, enjoying her family. 151 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 6: What you see, the image that you're creating in your 152 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 6: mind is what you're moving toward. My mother felt weak, 153 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 6: but she saw herself strong. The diagnosis was a few 154 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 6: weeks to live, but she saw herself. 155 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 4: Healthy, living a long life. 156 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 6: It didn't happen overnight, but she started moving toward that 157 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 6: image she had in her mind. She got better and 158 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 6: better with no medical explanation. Today, forty two years later, 159 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 6: she's just like those pictures she saw, healthy, whole and vibrant. 160 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 6: Pay attention to the images you're seeing. You can't see 161 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 6: yourself sick and get well. You can't see yourself with 162 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 6: lack and struggle and have abundance. You need to see 163 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 6: yourself blessed, the. 164 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 4: Head and not the tail, lending and not borrowing. 165 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 6: You can't see the dream being too big, giant, too strong, 166 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 6: the addiction too great. You need to see yourself as 167 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 6: well able as a giant killer, a history maker, a 168 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 6: barrier break. I was eighteen years old and I was 169 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 6: driving down the freeway one morning coming to church. All 170 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 6: of a sudden, there was this huge downpour. Didn't start 171 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 6: off a little slow, sprinkle a little bit. 172 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 4: It was like the heavens opened up. 173 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 6: I reached over and turned my windshield wipers on like 174 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 6: I always did, But nothing happened. 175 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 4: They didn't move. I looked out and couldn't see a thing. 176 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 6: I jiggled the lever, pushed it, nagled it, but still 177 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 6: nothing here. I'm going sixty miles an hour and I 178 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 6: have no idea where the road is. 179 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 4: In a panic, I rolled down my window. 180 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 6: Looked outside the best I could, rain hitting me, and 181 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 6: I slowly began to pull over. 182 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 4: To the right. 183 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 6: I was just driving blind, hoping that I wouldn't hit 184 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 6: another car. There wouldn't be a ditch or something parked 185 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 6: on the shoulder. By the grace of God, it was 186 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 6: all clear, and I parked there and waited for. 187 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 4: The rain to stop. Here's my point. 188 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 6: My engine was working fine, my tires were fine, my 189 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 6: steering was fine, had plenty of gas. The only thing 190 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 6: stopping me was my windshell wipers. 191 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 4: I had all this ability. 192 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 6: To move forward, this vehicle, this horse power, but my 193 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 6: vision was blurry. I couldn't see this seemingly small thing 194 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 6: kept me from where I was going. The same way 195 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 6: in life, you are full of potential. God has given 196 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 6: you gifts and talents. He's lined up the good breaks, 197 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 6: the right people, everything you need to fulfill your purpose. 198 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 6: For sometimes we're not seeing our greatness because. 199 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 4: Our vision is limited. We've let how we were raised. 200 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 6: What someone said, the bad break, the betrayal, cloud our future, 201 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 6: the problem is not with who you are. 202 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 4: You're a masterpiece. It's with what you can see. 203 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 6: If you're going to reach your potential, you have to 204 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 6: make sure your windsheer wipers are working. You have to 205 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 6: constantly be clearing out things that are hindering your vision. 206 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 6: Maybe you got off course, you made some mistakes, and 207 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 6: now guilt and shame will try to block your vision. 208 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 4: Man, you don't deserve to be blessed. Look what you did. 209 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 4: You're unworthy. 210 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 6: Just accept where you are now, get your windsheer wipers working. 211 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 6: You're forgiven, You're redeemed. God's mercy is bigger than your mistakes. 212 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 6: He doesn't remember the negative things of your past. 213 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 4: Now you have to do your part. Clear out the guilt, 214 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 4: clear out the shame. 215 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 6: Start seeing yourself as worthy, as forgiven. 216 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 4: As a child of the most time. 217 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,479 Speaker 6: Or perhaps discouragement is clouding your future. You've been through disappointments, 218 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 6: things didn't work out, people did you wrong. It's easy 219 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 6: to let that hinder your vision to where you're not 220 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 6: believing for anything good. 221 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 4: You're not expecting things to improve. Get your windsheer wipers working. 222 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 4: You have not seen your best days. 223 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 6: The enemy wouldn't be fighting you if he didn't know 224 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 6: something awesome was in store. That's why he's trying to 225 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 6: limit your vision so you don't see the amazing future 226 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 6: that's ahead. Do yourself a favor wipe that away. I 227 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 6: love what Paul prayed in Ephesians, that the eyes of 228 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 6: our understanding would be enlightened so we could see the 229 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 6: amazing future to which we've been called. He was praying, 230 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 6: in one sense, that our windshield wipers would work, that 231 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 6: our vision, that the eyes of our understanding would be clear. 232 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 6: Your vision may have been clouded by what people have 233 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 6: said negative words. You're too small, you're too old, not 234 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 6: talented enough, you don't have what it takes. Lady told 235 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 6: me how she went to a job interview, this position 236 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 6: that she really wanted. She was qualified, she had the training, 237 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 6: but they came back and said, I'm sorry, you just 238 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 6: don't have the personality for this job. You're not outgoing enough. 239 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 6: She let those words start to cloud her vision, thinking 240 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 6: I'm lacking, I'm at a deficit, I'm not at the 241 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 6: par I told her what I'm telling you, get your 242 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 6: windshield wipers working. People don't determine your destiny. What they 243 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 6: said doesn't stop God's plan. That door closed because. 244 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 4: He has something better coming. 245 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 7: Now. 246 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 6: Don't let the better get stopped because the negative. 247 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 4: Report has blurred your vision. 248 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 6: Moses sent twelve men to spy out the promised land, 249 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 6: and ten of them came back and said, we can't 250 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 6: go in. 251 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 4: The people are big. 252 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 6: We were in our own sites as grasshoppers, and so 253 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 6: we were in their sight. Notice the picture they had 254 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 6: the opposition. They are giants, they are powerful. They saw 255 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 6: them as undefeatable. But as for us, we're grasshoppers. 256 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 4: Man, we're weak. We don't have the size, the talent, 257 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 4: the experience. They'll crush us. 258 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 6: When in fact, they were the ones that were powerful. 259 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 6: They were the ones that had the favor of God. 260 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 6: They were the ones that were destined to take the land. 261 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 6: What was the problem. Their windshield was blurry, their vision 262 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 6: was distorted. It's significant that they saw themselves, of all things, 263 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 6: as grasshoppers. A grasshopper has wings. 264 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 4: But it can't really fly. 265 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 6: He can go a little way, it can't fly any distance. 266 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 6: Notice how the enemy wants you to see yourself. You 267 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 6: have wings, but you can't get off the ground. 268 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 4: Sure you have potential, but you're just a grasshopper. You 269 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 4: never do anything great. 270 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 6: The opposition's too big, the sickness too strong, the dream, 271 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 6: there's no way. 272 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 4: Look what you're up against. Well, that's the wrong image. 273 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 4: You are not a grasshopper. The scripture says. 274 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 6: You will mount up with wings like an eagle. You 275 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 6: are created to sword, to rise above what's trying to 276 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 6: stop you, to overcome what's holding your back, to leave 277 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 6: your family better than it was. But it's going to 278 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 6: come down to this. Do you see yourself as a 279 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 6: grasshopper or do you see yourself as an egle? Well, Joe, 280 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 6: these people at work, they're not fair. 281 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 4: They don't like me. I'll never get that promotion. 282 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 6: No disrespect, but nice to meet you, mister grasshopper. 283 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 4: That's going to keep you on the ground. 284 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 6: The Israelites wandered in the desert forty years because they 285 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 6: saw themselves the wrong. 286 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 4: Way, limited, lacking, not enough. 287 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 6: Don't let that grasshopper image keep you from soaring. 288 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 4: You're an ego. Get in agreement with God. 289 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 6: Yes, these people are doing me wrong, but God is 290 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 6: my vindicator. 291 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 4: I know God is fighting my battles. Listen. 292 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 6: Promotion doesn't come from people, he comes from the Lord. 293 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 6: The scripture says, touch, not my anointed, you're his anointed. 294 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 6: God being for you is more than anything coming against you. 295 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 6: And yes, we all have opposition, things that are not fair. 296 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 4: But you need to see. 297 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 6: Yourself as an overcomer, as more than a conquer as 298 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 6: the victor and not the victim. But I don't think 299 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 6: I'll ever get ahead man, with the pandemic, with inflation, 300 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 6: how could I ever pay my house off? What you're 301 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 6: really saying is I'm a grasshopper. The enemy would love 302 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 6: for you to go through life thinking that you're limited. 303 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 4: You're at a disadvantage. You can't fly, you'll. 304 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 6: Never get married, you'll never accomplish that goal. But what 305 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 6: if you discovered those wings on your side are not grasshopper. 306 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 4: Wings, but they are eagles wings. 307 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 6: What if what's limiting you is not your circumstances, not 308 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 6: other people, not how you were raised, but how you 309 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 6: see yourself. What would happen if your windshow wipers started working, 310 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 6: your vision cleared up, and you started seeing yourself for 311 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 6: who you really. 312 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 4: Are, A son, a daughter of the Most High God. 313 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 4: You have greatness in you. 314 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 6: You were created to reign in life, to be healthy, strong, valuable, 315 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 6: accomplished dreams. 316 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 4: Overcome obstacles. 317 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 6: I'm asking you to get rid of that grasshopper image and. 318 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 4: See yourself the way God sees you. I know things 319 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 4: try to cloud our vision. 320 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 6: Disappointments, mistakes, we made, bad breaks. 321 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 4: Get your windshield, wife for working. This is a new day. 322 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 4: Clear out the doubt, Clear out what people have said. 323 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 6: Clear out that bitterness, that mediocrity. Nothing that's happened to 324 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 6: you has stopped God's purpose for your life. As your 325 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 6: vision clears, you'll start moving in to the new levels 326 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 6: of flavor and blessings that belonged to you. This is 327 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 6: what Jeremiah had to do in the scripture. God had 328 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 6: a great plan for his life called him to speak 329 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 6: to nations to impact the culture. Jeremiah was a young man. 330 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 6: He felt unqualified. He didn't come from an influential family. 331 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 6: At first, like the Israelites, he started making excuses, said God, 332 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 6: I can't speak to nations. 333 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 4: I'm too young. I wouldn't know what to say. God 334 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 4: touched his lips and said, don't worry, I'm gonna put 335 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 4: my words in your mouth. 336 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 6: God will never ask you to do something and not 337 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 6: give you the ability to do it. He wouldn't have 338 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 6: told the Israelites to go into the Promised Land if 339 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 6: those giants were going to defeat them. The truth is 340 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 6: the giants didn't defeat them. Their grasshopper image defeated them. 341 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 6: This was about to happen with Jeremiah. He saw himself 342 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 6: as not able, limited, lacking. God said to him in 343 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 6: verse eleven, Jeremiah, what do you see here? 344 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 4: God had just. 345 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 6: Promphes out an amazing future, that Jeremiah would leave his mark, 346 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 6: that he would impact nations. 347 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 4: You would think that would be enough. 348 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 6: God said it, He promised it, But it all came 349 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 6: down to this question. 350 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 4: What do you see, Jeremiah. 351 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 6: Jeremiah got his windser wifers working, He said, in e fact, 352 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 6: wait a minute, this doubt is clouding my future. 353 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 4: This fear, this insecurity is distorting my vision. 354 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 6: He answered back, something interesting, he said, God, I see 355 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 6: the branch of an almond tree starting to bud. It's 356 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,959 Speaker 6: coming out of late winter, blossoming into full bloom. He 357 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 6: was saying, I see growth, I see new opportunities. 358 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 4: I see me stepping into new levels. 359 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 6: Because his vision cleared, he went on to impact nations 360 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 6: to blossom and bloom, just like God said, Like with Jeremiah, 361 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 6: God has given us all these incredible promises. He said, 362 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 6: no weapon formed against you will prosper. He said he 363 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 6: will restore health and heal you of your wounds. 364 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 4: He said your children will be mighty in the land. 365 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 6: He said you will lend and not borrow, that your 366 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 6: latter days will be better than your former days. All 367 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 6: these amazing promises, But that alone is not enough. 368 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 4: God is asking you, what do you see. It's not 369 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:52,959 Speaker 4: just up to God. 370 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 6: How you see yourself, your future, your children, That's what's 371 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 6: going to determine what will happen. I don't know, Joel, 372 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 6: my children are so off course, or this medical report's 373 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 6: not good. 374 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 4: I can't start my own business. I don't have the connections. 375 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 4: Don't do like he did. Get you wins, your wipers working. 376 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 4: Clear out all the excuses, the doubt. Can't do it. 377 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 6: Too big, too late, not enough, And see yourself the 378 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 6: way God sees you. 379 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 4: You are well able, you are strong in the Lord. 380 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 6: God is going before you. Goodness and mercy are following you. 381 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 6: Favor is surrounding you. You can run through a troop 382 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 6: and leap over a wall. See yourself as victorious, as prosperous. 383 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 4: As more than a conquer. 384 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 6: When my father went to be with the Lord, I 385 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 6: knew I was supposed to step up and pass through 386 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 6: the church, but I didn't have the training, the experience. 387 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 6: I like being behind the scenes. I'm more quiet and reserved, 388 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 6: and my father tried to get me up many times 389 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 6: to speak, but I didn't know this was in me. 390 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 4: You have to be willing to accept the new things God. 391 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 4: God is going to do. 392 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 6: His dream for your life is much bigger than your own. 393 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 6: Where God is going to take you the doors he's 394 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 6: going to open, the people you're going to meet. Its 395 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 6: gold to be more than you've ever imagined. Like Jeremiah, 396 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 6: I thought I can't do that. I saw myself one way, 397 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 6: at one level, but God had a whole new level. 398 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 6: I had to quit seeing myself as limited, unqualified. Thoughts 399 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 6: would tell me it's never going to work out, trying 400 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 6: to cloud my future. I had to keep my windshield 401 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 6: wipers going. I can do all things through Christ. I'm equipped, empowered, 402 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 6: and anointed. 403 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 4: Lord. 404 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 6: I thank you that You've raised me up for such 405 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 6: a time as this. Through my eyes of faith, I 406 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 6: saw myself excelling. I saw the church growing, I saw 407 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 6: people being help I had to conceive this new image 408 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 6: that God was planting in my heart. One night, about 409 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 6: three months after my father had passed, when I was 410 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 6: doing my best to keep my courage up so I 411 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 6: could keep going, I had a dream. 412 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 4: Better description would be a nightmare. 413 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 6: In this dream, the church was full, It was packed, 414 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 6: but when I went up to speak, everyone got up 415 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 6: and walked out of the building right on que not saying. 416 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,239 Speaker 4: A word, just filing out. I woke up in a 417 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 4: cold sweat. The enemy will work over time to. 418 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 6: Try to get negative, defeating images on the inside. The 419 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 6: scripture talks about casting down wrong imaginations. 420 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 4: That means getting rid of the wrong pictures. Pay attention 421 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 4: to what's draining your faith causing you to shrink back. 422 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 4: Be insecure. 423 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 6: Those are imaginations you need to delete. Don't let that 424 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 6: picture distort your vision. A few months before my father passed, 425 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 6: Victoria had a friend that told her about a dream 426 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 6: she had. In this dream, she saw me up speaking 427 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 6: in front of this large stadium filled with people. Everyone 428 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 6: was weeping, but she said Joel was up there, the 429 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 6: people leading them. Everyone was listening so intently. Out of 430 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 6: those two dreams, I chose. 431 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 4: To believe her dream. I let that kickture take root. 432 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 4: You get to choose which. 433 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,719 Speaker 6: Images are going to influence you. You can see yourself defeated, 434 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 6: failing not enough, or you can see yourself prospering, rising higher, 435 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 6: accomplishing new goals, setting new standards. That will be these 436 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 6: times like with me, where you have to enlarge your vision. 437 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 6: God didn't create you to reach one level and get stuck. 438 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 6: You're going to come to places where you may feel 439 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 6: over your head, unqualified. That's a sign that God's about 440 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 6: to take you higher. 441 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 4: Be open for greater things. 442 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 6: To see yourself at new levels, going where you've never gone, 443 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 6: doing what you've never dreamed. Sure, doubt will come. You 444 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 6: can't do that, it's out of your league. People may 445 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 6: tell you you can't accomplish that. No one is your 446 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 6: family is that blessed, that's successful. 447 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 4: That influential. Keep your winds, your whippers going. 448 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 6: Don't let that distort your vision. They can't see what 449 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 6: you see. God didn't put the dream in them. He 450 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 6: put the dream in you. Now do your part and 451 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 6: conceive the increase, Conceive the abundance, Conceive the possibility. 452 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 4: Friend of mine was in. 453 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 6: Hawaii on vacation and this guide was driving him and 454 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 6: his wife around, showing them the different sites. They came 455 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 6: to this one place, and the man pointed to the 456 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 6: top of this hill. 457 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 4: There was a beautiful house overlooking the. 458 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 6: Ocean, palm trees, green grass, big windows, just like a postcard. 459 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 4: So magnificent. Now, friends said to the God just. 460 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 6: In passing, I can't even imagine living in a house 461 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 6: like that. He heard something on the inside, just an 462 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 6: impression say don't worry, you never will. He was kind 463 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 6: of taking a buyer. Thank God, is that you he felt. 464 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 6: God say, yes, son, it's me. And as long as 465 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 6: you can't imagine it, as long as you can't see it, 466 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 6: it's never going to happen. I wonder how many of 467 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 6: us are missing the great things God has in store 468 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 6: because our vision is limited. I can't imagine having a 469 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 6: good jar Joel in my business with inflation the stock 470 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 6: market down. 471 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 4: Can imagine my. 472 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 6: Health improving after what the doctor said. Can imagine this 473 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 6: relationship work? And I can imagine my children doing anything great. 474 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 6: Instead of letting your imagination work against you, why don't 475 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 6: you look out through your eyes of faith. 476 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 4: And let it work for you. God created the universe. 477 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 6: He spoke worlds into existence, He's not limited by what 478 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 6: limits us. 479 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 4: The right attitude is. 480 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 6: It may seem unlikely, but I can imagine me getting 481 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 6: healthy God did for Joel's mom. I can imagine me 482 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 6: to find the odds out, running, playing a long life. 483 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 6: I can imagine me paying my house off. I can 484 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 6: imagine my business expanding. I can imagine leaving an inheritance 485 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 6: to my children's children. Maybe you're single, you'd like to 486 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 6: get married. It's been a long time. The enemy would 487 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 6: love to paint that picture of you lonely, discourage, left out. 488 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 4: No delete that picture, create a new image. I can 489 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 4: imagine me happily married. I can imagine. 490 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 6: Someone awesome, tall, dark, handsome, godly, fun, friendly and rich. 491 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 4: I can imagine you're thinking that I might as well 492 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 4: say it. 493 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 6: I can imagine laughing, loving, a blessed marriage. 494 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 4: I can imagine my children excelling. 495 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 6: I can imagine them leaving their mark or Yes, I've 496 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 6: had this addiction a long time, but you know what, 497 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 6: I can imagine me breaking it this year. I can 498 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 6: imagine me free, whole and clean. If you watch all 499 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 6: the news these days and negative report the economy, maybe 500 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 6: a recession that can cloud your vision, you have to 501 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 6: look out through your eyes of faith.
