38
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 5: this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.

39
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 5: I hope you enjoy this message. I want to encourage

40
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 5: you today that God has great purpose for your life.

41
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 5: You a whole meaning, you whole potential. You hold everything

42
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 5: you need to make this earth a better place. And

43
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 5: I want to charge us today to just reevaluate our

44
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 5: life and realize we are here for God's purpose and

45
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 5: God's glory. You know, sometimes It's easy to feel like

46
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 5: we're here to just go to our job, go to school,

47
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 5: have our friends, raise our family. But can I tell

48
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 5: you today, God has marked you to have an influence

49
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 5: on this earth. See you, you just being here, you

50
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 5: being the best you can be, using your gifts, using

51
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 5: your talents, and honoring God. You're making an eternal difference.

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 5: You are causing this earth to be enriched, and you

53
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 5: are moving the Kingdom of God forward. You see, sometimes

54
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 5: we don't appreciate what God has given us. We don't

55
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 5: understand this gift and the purpose that we're here for.

56
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 5: And I believe when we shake ourselves and we say listen,

57
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 5: I'm not here by accident.

58
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 4: I'm not here because my parents wanted a baby.

59
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 5: I'm not here just to take up spaith and time

60
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 5: on this earth. But I'm here for an eternal reason.

61
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 5: My being here has meaning and my life matters. You see,

62
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 5: when God looks at you, he looks at you like

63
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 5: you matter, and he wants you to take what He's

64
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 5: given you, and he wants you to mix.

65
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 4: It with faith, and he wants you to move forward

66
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 4: on this earth.

67
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 5: You see, a lot of times we can't see what

68
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 5: God has given us.

69
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 4: Let's just be really real.

70
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes we can't see the gifts and talents.

71
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 5: We can look at other people and we can see

72
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 5: how they excel. We can see how they've got such

73
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 5: a great personality. Oh it seems so easy for them.

74
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 5: They can just do this. They're so creative. Oh they're

75
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 5: so smart. How can they figure all that out? We

76
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 5: can see it in others, but we can't always see.

77
00:03:59,280 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: It in ourselves.

78
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 5: And see when we can't see it in ourselves doesn't

79
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 5: mean it's not there. See God sees it in us,

80
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 5: because God put it there. The Bible says when Jesus

81
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 5: went to Earth, he led the captives free, and he

82
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 5: gave gifts to men. Do you know He's given you gifts.

83
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 5: We don't all have the same gifts. We've got to

84
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 5: be comfortable with our gifts. We got to be able

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 5: to recognize our gifts. We've got to walk in those

86
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 5: gifts and not compare those gifts. We got to know

87
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 5: that our gifts are here for a purpose, and we've

88
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 5: got to appreciate what God has given us.

89
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: I think about Moses. He was raised as an Egyptian.

90
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 5: He ended up fleeing to the wilderness and he was

91
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 5: there for forty years. God appeared to him in a

92
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 5: burning bush one day and says, Moses, I have an

93
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 5: assignment for you.

94
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 4: Now.

95
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 5: God knew exactly who he was talking to. He knew

96
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 5: everything about Moses. He created Moses. He saw Moses floating

97
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 5: down the river. He saw Moses when he lived in

98
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 5: the palace. He saw Moses when he was afraid and

99
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 5: ran to the desert. He knew exactly who Moses was.

100
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 5: He knew he was dealing with. He said, Moses, I

101
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 5: want you to lead my people out of Egypt into

102
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 5: the Promised Land because I'm doing a work and I'm going.

103
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,799
Speaker 4: To use you to do it. See it's so interesting.

104
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 5: I can only imagine Moses standing there like, really, God,

105
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 5: it says an exodent's for He literally pleaded with God.

106
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 4: He said, no, God, not me. You got the wrong man.

107
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,559
Speaker 5: God, I stutter, I can't speak well, I can't carry

108
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 5: this assignment out. I'm sure he was thinking about his past.

109
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 5: I'm sure he was thinking about how I've been in

110
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 5: the desert. Lord, you don't know.

111
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 4: I mean, you got the wrong man.

112
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 5: But God was saying, no, I've been shaping you from

113
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 5: the beginning.

114
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 4: Every experience.

115
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 3: You have.

116
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 5: Every gift God placed in you, has brought you for

117
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 5: such a time as this, for this assignment.

118
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 4: And do you know God used Moses in a powerful.

119
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 5: Way, even though Moses couldn't see what God had placed

120
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 5: in his life.

121
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 4: I find it very interesting.

122
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 5: In Acts seven twenty two, hundreds of years later, after

123
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 5: Moses was dead, this is what the writer of Acts

124
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 5: wrote about Moses. Says, Moses was well educated in all

125
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 5: the wisdom of the Egyptian and he was powerful in

126
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 5: speech and action. Moses was powerful in speech and action.

127
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 5: That was a far cry from what he thought about himself.

128
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 5: It was a far crid from what he was telling God.

129
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: See.

130
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 5: Isn't it interesting what he couldn't see in himself God

131
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 5: had others see.

132
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 4: So you may not be able to see your gifts,

133
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 4: your talents.

134
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 5: Your abilities, But can I tell you if you will

135
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 5: use them for God, let God take those and turn

136
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 5: them into supernatural abilities. People will see what you have

137
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 5: and you will accomplish great things in your life. But

138
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 5: it's up to us to mix our abilities, our gifts

139
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 5: that God's given us with faith and get up every

140
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 5: day and put one foot in front of the other.

141
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: Because I can tell you. When God asks you to

142
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: do something.

143
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 5: Can I just give you a little hint right now

144
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 5: that you probably already know is.

145
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 4: Not gonna be easy. God's gonna call you to some

146
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: hard stuff.

147
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 5: Why God, I like easy, I like comfortable. God, I

148
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 5: like to do those things that are easy for me

149
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 5: to do. God's saying, I want to I want you

150
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 5: to take those things that are easy for you to

151
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 5: do and those things that are difficult for you to do,

152
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 5: and I want you to give them to me, because

153
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 5: see those difficult places, that's where you grow. When God

154
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 5: speaks to those difficult places, you know what he's doing.

155
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 4: He's not being me. He's speaking to your potential.

156
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 5: He's saying, if you stay here, you're not gonna become

157
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 5: everything you were designed to be.

158
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 4: He's not gonna.

159
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 5: Call you to the easy places. He's gonna call you

160
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 5: to some tough things. Just like Moses. You're gonna look

161
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 5: back and you're gonna go. God, you did more than

162
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 5: I could ask, think or imagine. God, You've fulfilled my life.

163
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 5: You've enriched my life. But see, all along the way,

164
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 5: we're gonna have to stir up the gifts of God

165
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 5: within us. We're gonna have to use our faith. We're

166
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 5: gonna have to believe in our abilities. The apostle Paul

167
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 5: wrote to a young man named Timothy. He wrote a

168
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 5: letter to him for two reasons, One because he loved him,

169
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 5: and two because he saw that Timothy was extremely discouraged.

170
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 5: He was facing some situations and he did not feel

171
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 5: like he had the ability to carry out what God

172
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 5: had called him to do. In fact, his mentor, Paul

173
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 5: was in prison, the mastermind of everything, and he thought,

174
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, am I ever gonna see Paul again?

175
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 5: I mean, I need Paul. Have you ever needed someone?

176
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 5: Can you come with me? I'll do it if you

177
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 5: could come with me.

178
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 4: That's probably how he felt, Paul, where are you?

179
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 5: I cannot do this by myself. I'm young, you see.

180
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 5: But Paul wanted him to know this that he could.

181
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 5: So Paul said, there's a combination, a winning combination.

182
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 4: I want to tell you about it.

183
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 5: So we wrote him a letter, and he said, Timothy,

184
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 5: I'm writing you this letter to remind you to stir

185
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 5: up the gifts of God within you by faith. But

186
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 5: since it's Mother's Day, can I back up in that

187
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 5: letter and just tell you one thing that Paul said

188
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 5: to all of you mothers out there, I don't want

189
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 5: you to take this mother to heart, because I really

190
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 5: believe this is what God's saying to you today. He's saying,

191
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 5: he wrote this. He said, Timothy, I see the faith

192
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 5: of your grandmother and of your mother, and the faith

193
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 5: that they had I'm sure.

194
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 4: Lives in you.

195
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 5: What a compliment I mean for a mother, that's a

196
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 5: very good compliment. If you see that I was a

197
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 5: good example to my children. He was saying, I see

198
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,119
Speaker 5: that you came from a good example.

199
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 4: You've learned how to lift.

200
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 5: But then he said this, Paul, I believe this faith

201
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 5: lives in you, So it's time for you to use

202
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 5: your faith and stir up your gifts. I think, in essence,

203
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 5: he was really giving those mothers the greatest compliment in

204
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 5: the world. He was charging their son to say, don't

205
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 5: live off your mama's faith. That's great that you have

206
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 5: an example, but it's time to find your faith, and

207
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 5: it's time to mix it with your ability because you

208
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 5: got a job to do.

209
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 4: You see, the.

210
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 5: Breath of encouragement is the greatest gift you can give someone's.

211
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 4: Child, to say, find your faith.

212
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 5: You see my dream would be that my children would

213
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 5: find their own faith. Yes I've been a good example,

214
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 5: but they would find their faith, and they would mix

215
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 5: that faith with the ability and the gifts that God's

216
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 5: given them, and they would charge into this world having

217
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 5: a positive effect, an eternal result on this earth. See,

218
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 5: they're not here by accident, and neither are you. They're

219
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 5: here for a purpose. You're going to go through many

220
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 5: different seasons of life. Don't just do it thinking you're

221
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 5: getting through it. Do it with purpose and destiny. Stir

222
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 5: up the gifts. You are making waves everywhere you go

223
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 5: for God. You have an assignment. God needs you. Your

224
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 5: life matters. Invite Jesus into every area of your life.

225
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 4: Invite him into your boat, so to speak. You see

226
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,119
Speaker 4: the first.

227
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 5: Time that Jesus met Simon Peter before he changed his name,

228
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 5: he had never met him before. Simon Peter didn't know Jesus.

229
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 5: Jesus came walking up because the crowds were following him

230
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 5: and Jesus needed to push back a little bit from

231
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 5: the crowds. He saw Simon Peter and his crew over

232
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 5: their washing nets because they'd been fishing. Their boats were

233
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 5: on the edge of the water and Jesus said, I

234
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 5: need to get in your boat, Simon Peter. He said,

235
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 5: you need to push me out a little ways. And

236
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 5: Simon Peter let him in his boat, and he pushed

237
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 5: him out, and Jesus said, I need to get in

238
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 5: that boat because see what I need to do.

239
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 4: Is continue the work that I am doing.

240
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 5: He was preaching to the people, but he needed a

241
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 5: little bit of break, so he needed to get in

242
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 5: Simon's Peter's boat so he could finish the work.

243
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 4: Now, Simon Peter's boat, you know what it represented.

244
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 5: It represented his office, it was his vocation, it was

245
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 5: his livelihood.

246
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 4: He could have said to wait a minute, minute, that's

247
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 4: my boat. Can't get in the boat that's only for fishing.

248
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 4: You know, it's real interesting.

249
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 5: The day that Simon and Peter let him in his boat,

250
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 5: that job that he had, that fishing job, it became

251
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 5: more than a job. It became a calling. When he

252
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 5: allowed him in his boat so that Jesus could do

253
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 5: the work. That job wasn't just a job. It became

254
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 5: a calling for Peter's life. It became a destiny and

255
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 5: a passion. He realized, no matter if I'm fishing or

256
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 5: if I'm all right. If I'm with Jesus, I'm gonna

257
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 5: do the work of God. You see, he was a fisherman,

258
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 5: but that call him changed him into a fisher of men.

259
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 4: God wants in your boat.

260
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 5: He wants in your school, he wants in the middle

261
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 5: of changing diapers, he wants in the middle of your family.

262
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 5: He wants to keep doing the work. But guess what

263
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 5: He's got to get in your boat to finish it up.

264
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 4: You know what, I love my mother. She's here today.

265
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 4: Happy Mother's Day.

266
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 5: I love my doodie, she's here today, Happy Mother's Day.

267
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 5: I've watched my mother's She's had a business in Houston

268
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 5: for the last forty years, and I've watched her take

269
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 5: that business, that jewelry business, and turn it in to

270
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 5: a pulpit. No, she wasn't called to a ministry behind

271
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 5: a pulpit. But you know what she's done. She's letting

272
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 5: Jesus come in her boat. She's always been the type

273
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 5: of person who wanted to help people, who love people,

274
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 5: who would always be an encourager. And I'll watch her

275
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 5: from that business encourage people, invite them to church, fuel

276
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 5: their faith.

277
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 4: See, she let.

278
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 5: Jesus in her boat, and I was thinking about this

279
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 5: the other day. She's been in business a long time

280
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 5: in the city, and she's seen the economy go up,

281
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 5: she's seen the economy go down, and God's been good

282
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 5: to her.

283
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: He sustained her business. He sustained it. And I believe

284
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 4: it's because he said, I still need your boat.

285
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 5: I still need your boat, and I know that you'll

286
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 5: give me your boat, so IM will.

287
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 4: Keep you afloat.

288
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 5: Can I tell you when you let Jesus in your boat,

289
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 5: he'll keep you afloat.

290
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 4: He'll keep you afloat.

291
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 5: What an example to have a mother who loves people,

292
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 5: who wants to encourage people to bring Jesus into her boat.

293
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 4: I feel a little like Timothy. I'm blessed that way.

294
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 5: But you know what, the greatest compliment to my mother

295
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 5: and every mother in here could be that me, her daughter,

296
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 5: would find my own faith, would learn from the example,

297
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 5: but find my own faith, mix it with the gifts

298
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 5: God's given me, and launch out in my.

299
