00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 5: remind you that you are extraordinary. Nobody wants to be

41
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 5: ordinary today. We all want to be extraordinary. We want

42
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 5: to live an extraordinary life.

43
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 4: And I believe that's what Jesus said.

44
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 5: He said, I want to come to give you a

45
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 5: life and a life of abundance.

46
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 4: See he came so that we could.

47
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 5: Live an abundant life, an extraordinary life, an exceptional life.

48
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 5: God doesn't want us to live average, mediocre. He doesn't

49
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 5: want us to be ordinary in our thinking. He wants

50
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 5: us to be extraordinary in our thinking. He wants us

51
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 5: to expect more, to go for more, to strive for more,

52
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 5: to be the very.

53
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 4: Best that we can be.

54
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 5: Do you know when you're the very best you can

55
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 5: be today, your tomorrow will be better. See when you

56
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 5: prepare for today, Hey, you'll be ready for the opportunities tomorrow.

57
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 5: When preparation meets opportunity, it's called success. So I want

58
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 5: to encourage all of us to not have just this

59
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 5: ordinary mindset, but have an extraordinary mindset, to be full

60
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 5: of joy, abundance, creativity, blessing.

61
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 4: You know, Joel was just.

62
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 5: Saying to us earlier, and I think it's something that

63
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 5: we need to hear when we come to the House

64
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 5: of the Lord, and we need to express to ourself

65
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 5: that we're a masterpiece. We didn't just come off of

66
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 5: an assembly line. We're an original. We have callings and

67
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 5: giftings that are matchless. See, only you can do what.

68
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: God's called you to do.

69
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 5: Only you were created to be you You weren't created

70
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 5: to be anyone else. You weren't created to copy anyone else.

71
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 5: You were designed uniquely you. So get this down in

72
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 5: your heart, get this down in your spirit today and say,

73
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 5: I'm tired of living ordinary. I'm tired of living just mundane.

74
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: I'm going to start having this extraordinary mindset. You say, but, Victoria,

75
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 5: my life is just routine.

76
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 4: You know what. All of our lives are routine.

77
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 5: Most of life is doing the same thing over and

78
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 5: over again. We get up in the morning, we go

79
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 5: to work, we do our jobs. We come home, we

80
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 5: wash the dishes, we take care of the kids, we

81
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 5: cook the dinner, we mow the lawn, we pay the bills.

82
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 5: Most of our day is routine. We go to bed,

83
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 5: get up in the morning, and do it all over again.

84
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 5: But it is our job to not get sucked into

85
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 5: that routine, but to cause our life to produce extraordinary

86
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 5: in the routine. You see, you were designed to produce

87
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 5: extraordinary in the routines of life. Think about this just

88
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 5: a minute. Anything that you do well, you have to

89
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 5: do often, and it is called routine. So we have

90
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 5: to know that when we're in I'm the routine, we're

91
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 5: in the difficulties we're in, the challenges, all the things

92
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 5: that we all face, that there's extraordinary being produced because

93
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 5: I believe when we understand that we're not average, and

94
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 5: our challenges weren't here to make us suffer. They're here

95
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 5: to bring something.

96
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 4: Out of us.

97
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 5: Our difficulties are here to bring something out of us.

98
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 5: Our routine is here to bring something out of us.

99
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 5: I think about all the years that I've loved my family.

100
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 5: My children were born, I took care of them. I

101
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 5: changed their diapers, I fed them, I gave them a bath,

102
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 5: I taught them. I did everything I knew to do,

103
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 5: day after day after day. I've tried to be a

104
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 5: good helpmate to my husband. I make sure he gets

105
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 5: what he likes. I cook him dinner, I tell him

106
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 5: what to do, I give in vitamins. I do my

107
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 5: very best, even when they don't appreciate it day in

108
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 5: and day out. But can I tell you, even when

109
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 5: they don't appreciate it, and even when it's difficult, do

110
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 5: you know what the routine has done for me? It's

111
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 5: given me extraordinary. It is my extraordinary? What is your extraordinary?

112
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 4: I can see my life.

113
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 5: Because I was routine and faithful with what God gave me,

114
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 5: I now have extraordinary in my life. I think about

115
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 5: challenges and difficulties I've faced. Many times I think I

116
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 5: just want to quit. Is this even worth it? Is

117
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 5: it even matter? But I have learned when I've pressed

118
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 5: through day after day those challenges, day after day, it

119
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 5: produced extraordinary lessons in my life. Listen, when you are

120
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 5: faithful with what God has placed in your hand, and

121
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 5: you don't allow it to become mundane and ordinary and

122
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 5: give it just half of what you could give it,

123
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 5: you know what you're doing. You're creating extraordinary. You're creating

124
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 5: something to talk about tomorrow.

125
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 4: You see, sometimes.

126
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 5: It's not always easy to talk about it, but if

127
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 5: you'll stick with it, you'll have something to talk about.

128
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 4: You'll have something to be proud of.

129
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 5: So even in the difficult times, I want to encourage

130
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 5: you to stay faithful. God is preparing you. You are

131
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 5: passing the tests. He wants to give you greater opportunity,

132
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 5: greater life, a greater a destiny. So we want to

133
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 5: just live with purpose because I know how it feels.

134
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: I'm preaching to myself today.

135
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 5: I have to get up in the morning and I

136
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 5: have to say today is a good day.

137
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 4: I've got good things in front of me.

138
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 5: You know what you say to yourself, the moment you

139
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 5: get up is gonna set the tone.

140
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 4: For your life.

141
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 5: So you've got to get this down in your heart,

142
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 5: even when it's difficult, no matter what's going on on

143
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 5: the other side of that difficulty is extraordinary. You can

144
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 5: all say with me today, I have seen the extraordinary.

145
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 5: You're right, it was worth putting my effort into even

146
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 5: when I didn't see where the routine was taking me.

147
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 5: I now see this extraordinary job I have. I now

148
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 5: see this extraordinary family I have. I now see an

149
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 5: extraordinary ministry that I have. You see, you may not

150
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 5: see where it's taking you all the time, but it

151
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 5: will lead you to extraordinary. When Joel's father was pastor

152
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 5: of Lakewood Church in his latter years, I would come

153
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 5: and get him and take him to church. I'll remember

154
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 5: one time we were in the bag getting ready for church,

155
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 5: and he had a woman who did his hair and

156
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 5: his makeup for television because we would broadcast the Sunday services.

157
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 5: And when I was back there one morning, this young

158
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 5: lady that did his hair looked at him and she said, Pastor.

159
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 4: Ostein, I have to tell you some news.

160
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 5: She said, my husband is being transferred to another state

161
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 5: for his job. And she said, this is going to

162
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 5: be the last time that I'm going to be able

163
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 5: to do your hair and makeup. She said, I'm so

164
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 5: sorry this came so quickly, but this is one of

165
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 5: those things where I just have to go. And I

166
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 5: remember him just kind of sitting there. He was looking

167
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 5: at her, and I could just see a thousand things

168
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 5: going on in his head, and he didn't know what

169
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 5: to say.

170
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 4: So he looked at me.

171
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 5: And he said, well, Victoria, he said, can you do

172
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 5: my hair for TV on Sundays? I thought, I don't

173
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 5: have a cosmetology license, I'm not trained in this. Then

174
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 5: the next thing I know, they're both looking at me.

175
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 5: So I quickly just said, sure, I'll do it if

176
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 5: you trust me. Well, little did they know. I had

177
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 5: a little experience when I was in junior high school.

178
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 5: I used to cut some of my friend's hair and

179
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 5: attempt at highlighting.

180
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 4: But that day I was given a promotion. I was

181
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 4: now the hair.

182
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 5: Solace for John Osting Lakewood TV Television. For my family,

183
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 5: a lot of my mother's side of the family lives

184
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 5: in Georgia and they were preparing a family reunion and

185
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 5: they had made plans, got in hotels, gott in locations.

186
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 5: They'd put a lot of work into it. And they

187
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 5: called me up and they gave me the date and

188
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 5: they said, listen, we're gonna have the best family reunion.

189
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 4: You got to be there. This is the date.

190
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 5: So I checked the date and it fell on a weekend,

191
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 5: and I said, look, guys, I can't come on the weekend.

192
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 5: I have to do my father in lost hair. And

193
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 5: they were like so disappointed. They were like, what, you

194
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 5: can't come and We've done all this planning, And I said, no,

195
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 5: I'm committed. We tape on Sunday and I have to

196
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 5: pick him up and.

197
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: I have to bring to the church. I have to

198
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 4: do his hair.

199
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 2: Well.

200
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 5: Later on I got word that they were talking about me.

201
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 5: I found out that they didn't think my job was

202
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 5: very important. And they said, I can't believe that's all

203
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 5: she does in the ministry. I think she should be

204
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 5: doing more. You know, they weren't trying to be mean,

205
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 5: they just thought my job description should be different. Well,

206
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 5: you know what, that hurt my feelings and I got

207
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 5: to thinking.

208
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 4: About it, and I got a little discouraged about it.

209
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,599
Speaker 4: But then I made a decision.

210
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 5: I thought, you know what, I'm gonna let that go

211
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 5: because deep down on the inside of me, I hear

212
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 5: be faithful in the small, be faithful in the small,

213
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 5: Just be faithful in the small.

214
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 4: So I let that go, and.

215
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 5: I decided to be the best TV production hair person

216
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 5: there has ever been. So for several years, I'd picked

217
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 5: my father in law up, bring him to the church,

218
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 5: and get him TV ready.

219
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 4: I was committed to that job.

220
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 5: I was faithful and in the routine of all those

221
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 5: Sunday mornings, all those weekends, I didn't realize that I

222
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 5: was building extraordinary to my life. You see, I believe

223
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 5: it built commitment in my life. I believe that it

224
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 5: was doing a work in me. It was causing me

225
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 5: to be able to understand the ministry life, giving me vision.

226
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 4: It was showing me what it took to do this job.

227
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 5: And I believe just through those years of what some

228
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 5: people may not have thought was important, God did think

229
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 5: it was important. It was building extraordinary in me, and

230
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 5: I believe that I can do what I'm doing today.

231
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 5: I can be with my husband and help him push

232
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 5: this ministry forward because of the commitment and the faithfulness

233
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 5: that I showed then. You see, in many ways it

234
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 5: prepared me. So I want to encourage you today. Don't

235
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 5: let the definition of someone else's success determine your future. See,

236
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 5: someone might not think what you're doing is very important.

237
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 5: They may look down on it. They may not realize

238
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 5: what God is doing in your life. He is preparing

239
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 5: you for greater opportunity. You see, because someone doesn't see

240
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 5: what you're doing doesn't mean that God doesn't see what

241
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 5: you're doing. Just because they don't think it's important doesn't

242
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 5: mean God doesn't think it's important. And I'm telling you,

243
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 5: God bless us faithfulness. We have to pass this faithfulness

244
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 5: test if we're.

245
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 4: Going to go on to greater things.

246
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 5: You know, one thing that I realize that really can

247
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 5: reduce this extraordinary life that God's given us down to

248
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 5: ordinary is when we compare ourself. You know, we all

249
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 5: know that social media these days can make your life

250
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 5: feel like it's going nowhere. You look at these vacations,

251
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 5: you look at all this stuff these people are doing.

252
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 5: They're highlight reel and you think, man, my life is

253
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 5: just ordinary routine. I go to work I come home,

254
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 5: I go to work, I come home.

255
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 4: When do they have time to do all this stuff?

256
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 5: Well, little do we realize it took them twenty nine

257
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 5: tries just to get that picture right, and then after

258
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 5: they filtered it, corrected it, worked through it, then it

259
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 5: was perfect. We know this, don't we We cannot fall

260
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 5: into the trap of comparing ourself because we're originals, we're masterpieces.

261
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 4: We're one of a kind.

262
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 5: The assignments that you're called to do are distinct to

263
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 5: your calling.

264
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 4: You fit your destiny.

265
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 5: No one else can do what you've been called to do.

266
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 5: Don't shrink your life down to mundane an ordinary. Stir

267
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 5: up the gifts of God within you. What do you

268
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 5: have in your hand that is going to be your

269
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 5: extraordinary tomorrow?

270
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 4: I encourage you just like I encourage myself. God is

271
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:58,720
