I promise you 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.840 we'll make you feel right at home. But thanks so 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.560 much for tuning in, and thank you again for coming out. 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.120 I like to start with something funny, and of course 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.240 this is not doctrinally correct. It's just to make us laugh. 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:23.320 But I heard about these three men, a Baptist, a Catholic, 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.320 and a Charismatic. They died and went to heaven on 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.280 the same day. Peter said, I'm sorry, men, but your 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.400 rooms are not available yet. He didn't know quite what 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.320 to do, so he decided to call Satan to see 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.519 if he would keep them for a little while, and 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.160 Satan reluctantly agreed. In a few hours, Satan called back 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.080 and said, Peter, you've got to come get these guys. 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.920 The Baptist man is saving everybody, the Catholic man is 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.840 forgiving everybody, and the Charismatic has already raised enough money 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:55.560 for air conditioning. Hold up your bibles. Say it like 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.360 you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.880 it says I am. I have what it says I have. 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.960 I can do what it says I can do. Today 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.639 I will be taught the word of God. I boldly 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.480 confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.480 will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.720 I want to talk to you today about a no 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.680 stick anointing. In life. We all have to deal with 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:26.640 negative comments disrespect and people that are critical. No matter 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.240 how good of a person you are, somebody won't understand you. 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.720 Somebody will make fun of you, Somebody will try to 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.600 lessen your importance. May be a coworker. It's not so 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.960 much what they say, but how they say it, always condescending, 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.880 like you're not smart enough. Maybe it's a relative. They 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.560 celebrate everyone in the family, but they would never give 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:54.640 you one single compliment. Too often we respond the wrong way, 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.960 We get offended, and we let that sour our day. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.600 But Psalm forty five says Heaven says that God has 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:06.720 anointed us with the oil of joy. When you're oiled up, 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.880 nothing can stick to you. I call it a no 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:15.280 stick anointing. That means when the disrespect comes, it doesn't 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:19.159 have to attach itself. You can choose to either hold 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.760 on to it let it sour your life, or you 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.040 can let it slide right off of you and not 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.520 give it the time of day. That coworker that's talking 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.960 behind your back, you could get in there and try 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.719 to straighten them out. Now, when you have the no 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:38.760 stick anointing, you realize your time is too valuable. You 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.200 are not who they say you are. You are who 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:45.120 God says you are. That relative that leaves you out 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.760 on purpose. You could be offended. You could let that 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.000 change who you are. No, You're like a teflon pan. 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.840 Nothing can stick to you. Somebody gossiping about you, no 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.839 big deal. God will fight my battles. Somebody talking about 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.000 you trying to make you look bad, that's all right. 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.640 God is my vindicator. That family member left you out 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.880 again trying to be lilya. I'm not worried. What God 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:12.520 lifts up, no person can push down. We have a 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.799 cooking product here in America called pan comes in an aerosol. 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.799 Can you spray it on a pan before you cook? 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.200 That way, nothing will stick to it. Well, every morning, 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.720 before you leave the house, you need to spray on 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:30.200 your pen, so to speak. Father, thank you that nothing 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.200 will stick to me today. No matter what people say, 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.200 no matter what they do or don't do, I'm not 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.839 going to be offended. I'm not going to get upset. 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.680 I'm going to stay in peace and enjoy this day. 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.160 You have to make up your mind at the start 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.279 of the day that nothing that comes your way is 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.599 going to steal your joy. I read about this man 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.279 and his friend. They were walking down the street to 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.040 buy a newspaper early in the morning. When they got 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.080 to the corner, the clerk in the little news and 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:05.280 was very rude, very inconsiderate. The man bought the paper 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.680 and said, as friendly as can be. I hope you 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.800 have a great day to day. As they were leaving, 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.800 the friend said, is the clerk always that rude? The 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.760 man said every morning? He said, well, are you always 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.960 that friendly? He said, every single morning. The friend was 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.960 kind of puzzled. He said why, he said, because I've 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.000 made up my mind. I'm not going to let one 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:31.159 person ruin my day. Just like him, You've got to 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.479 have a made up mind. You're not going to let 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:39.000 one negative comment, one disrespectful coworker, one classmate that's making 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.480 fun of you, to ruin your day. Now decide ahead 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.480 of time. I'm gonna spray my pam on before i leave. 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:50.000 I've got this no stick annointing. Any disrespect, any negative 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.480 comments gonna slide right off of me. Not going to 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.760 give it the time of day. One time in the scripture, 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.680 this prophet was walking down the street with some of 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:03.120 his men. This young men came out and started criticizing him, 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:08.040 making these very negative, disrespectful comments. And as they continue 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:12.280 to walk, this young man followed them, just kept pestering them, 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:16.000 badgering them, very annoying. Finally, one of the men said 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.520 to the prophet, do you want us to go shut 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.320 that young man up? We are tired of listening to him. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.520 The prophet made a very insightful comment. He said, no, 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.920 let him keep talking. Maybe God will hear him and 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.400 bless me for it. That's the attitude we should have. 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.120 Somebody talking about you, trying to make you look bad. 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.440 Don't get upset, don't lose your cool. The more they talk, 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.120 the more God's going to bless you. They're trying to 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.760 push you down. God's going to use them to lift 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.240 you up higher. When I first started ministering back in 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.640 nineteen ninety nine, some people made fun of me because 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:55.200 I smile so much. I've been smiling my whole life. 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.480 This is natural to me. My earliest baby picture six 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.560 months old, They've got a big smile on my face. 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.760 And you would think people would be glad that you're happy, 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.960 But there will always be people that don't understand you, 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.800 people that are critical. You have to be strong enough 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.480 in who God made you to be that you don't 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.280 let these negative comments change who you are. If you 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.560 succumb to that pressure and you try to adapt to 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:26.200 their comments, to fit into their mold, to please every person, 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.680 all that's going to do is keep you from your destiny. 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.280 And some people they don't even know you. They've never 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.440 spent time with you, never been to dinner together, they 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.920 never heard your heart. Yet they've already judged you from 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.160 a distance and decided what they don't like about you, 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.719 and what you need to change and what's wrong now. 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.400 Don't make the mistake of taking that personally. They don't 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.920 even know you. They just work in the same office complex, 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.960 or they just attend the same class. You just see 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.720 them at the mall every once in a while. Don't 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:04.199 let their opinion make you feel less about yourself. Your 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.760 attitude should be you don't even know me. If you 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.360 knew me, you would like me. If you knew me, 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.640 you would want to be my friend. Now, I heard 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:16.480 these comments Joel smiles too much, he's so happy, what's 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.959 wrong with him? And I was new to all this 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.040 being in front of people, and I was kind of insecure, 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.240 and my first thought was, maybe I need to change, 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.640 Maybe I need to be more serious. One day I 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.559 learned what I'm telling you. You're never going to please everyone. 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.360 You might as well be who God made you to be. 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:42.480 I put on that no stick anointing, let those negative 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.840 comments slide right off of me. Didn't give them the 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.720 time of day. Now, when people tell me I smile 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:53.640 too much, I just smile even more. People will always 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:57.560 find some reason to be critical. They'll always find something 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:01.120 to make fun of you about not secure, and you 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.520 dwell on these comments. It'll change who you are. But 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:08.120 God made you like you are on purpose. God gave 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:12.400 you your smile, wear it well. God gave you your personality, 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:16.160 your nationality, your looks, your style. Quit worrying about what 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.920 other people think, and just be who God made you 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.800 to be. If you will run your race, I can 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.960 assure you God will take care of your critics. You 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.679 don't have to fit into their mold. You don't have 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.640 to argue with them, try to convince them that you're okay. 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.760 Just be who God made you to be, and God 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.440 will take care of your enemies. This is what Elisha did. 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:42.000 He was traveling from Jericho to Bethel, and along the way, 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.520 this group of young men came out and started making 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:49.240 fun of him because he was bald. Second King's two 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:55.200 twenty three says they started mocking him, saying, go bald head, go, 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:56.319 go bald head. 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:56.440 Go. 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.720 Elisha didn't go over and fight with them. He didn't 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.520 start thinking, Oh something wrong with me, I'm inferior, I 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.880 don't have any hero on my head. No, he just 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.040 kept doing what God called him to do. Now, as 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.880 those young men were mocking him, the scripture says, two 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.320 bears came out of the woods and tore them to pieces. 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.040 That teaches me two lessons. Number one, don't ever make 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:24.920 fun of all people. Number two, seriously, God will fight 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.560 your battles. God will take care of the people who 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:34.320 are making fun of you. God hears the disrespect, he 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:38.480 hears the hurtful negative comments, and God will not allow 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:43.080 one of his children to be continually disrespected. You may 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.200 go through a season that's not fair. People are pushing 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.920 you down, making you look bad, but that season will 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.320 come to an end. God will vindicate you. Now you 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.040 do your part and keep the nose stick anointing on. 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.440 Let those comments slide right off of you. Don't give 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.600 them the time a day, and God will do his part. 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.480 He'll take care of those who are trying to push 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:09.440 you down. When the prophet Samuel went to Jesse's house 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.000 to choose one of his sons as the next king 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:17.160 of Israel, Jesse lined up all of his sons except David. 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.640 There were six young men standing in front of Samuel. 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.360 He looked at each of them one by one. Finally said, Jesse, 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.600 it's none of these. Do you have another son? Jesse said, yes, 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.840 I have a son named David. He's taking care of 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.359 my sheep. I didn't bring him in. He's the youngest, 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:39.240 he's kind of small, he's not real talented. He's not 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:43.880 quite as sharp as his brother's. David was shown disrespect 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:48.199 by his own father. The good news is God's calling 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.960 on your life cannot be stopped by people. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:51.679 Now. 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.520 I say this respectfully, but it doesn't matter what a 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:58.240 parent has said about you. Doesn't matter what a friend said, 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.160 what a teacher said, what a vow said, what a 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:05.120 coach said. All that matters is what God says. You 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:10.839 may have had negative words spoken over you, but that disrespect, 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:16.199 that lack of judgment, cannot stop God's plan for your life. 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.400 Samuel took one look at David and he said, that's 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.480 who I'm looking for. That's the next king of Israel. 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:27.679 I'm sure, Jesse. His father nearly passed out, thinking, are 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:31.520 you sure, Samuel? My other sons are so much bigger, stronger, 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:36.520 more talented. No. God doesn't judge by the outside. God 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.199 looks on the inside. People will judge you by your appearance, 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:44.439 your nationality, what family you come from. God looks past 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:48.880 the superficial things, and he sees the potential on the inside. 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:52.520 God sees the seeds of greatness that He is placed 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:56.440 within you. This one thing when people you don't know 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:02.720 very well are inconsiderate and disor But David was disrespected 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:06.680 by his own family. His father didn't even bother enough 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.640 to bring him in so at least Samuel could take 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.360 a look at him. Another time, David's brothers tried to 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.800 push him down. They were out on the battlefield in 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:21.280 an important position. David was still a shepherd. David's father 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.760 asked him to take his brother's lunch. When David got 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.640 out there, one of his brothers said, David, what are 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.320 you doing here? And with whom have you left those 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.880 few sheep? In other words, David, you're not a warrior. 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.720 Like us. You're not strong, talented. All you're doing is 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.560 taking care of a few sheep. Anybody can do that. 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:47.160 David was dishonored, disrespected by the people he loved the most. 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:52.040 One reason David was a champion is he understood this principle. 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:56.520 He had a no stick anointing. He let those negative 0:14:56.520 --> 0:15:00.200 words go in one ear and out the other. He 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.600 didn't make the mistake of dwelling on them, thinking, oh, man, 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.480 my own father thinks I'm not going to amount to anything. 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.520 My brothers keep telling me I'm a loser, that I'm 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:13.640 not talented. No, he let the disrespect, the judgment, the 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:17.840 gossip slide right off of him. His attitude was I 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.280 know who I am. I am a child of the 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:25.680 most high God. I am equipped, empowered, talented, strong, fearfully 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:30.200 and wonderfully made. For a season, David was made fun of. 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:35.000 For a season, he was disrespected, but because he did 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.600 the right thing, that season not only came to an end, 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:43.000 but God paid him back for the disrespect. His brothers 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.400 tried to push him down, but God used it to 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.240 lift him up. David went out and defeated Goliath, and 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:54.240 overnight he became a national hero. Friends. God knows how 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.840 to pay you back. He knows how to take care 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.800 of your critics. If you will stay on the high road, 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:04.280 God will always give you the last laugh. When it's 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.960 all said and done, the people that were making fun 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:11.920 of you sow in seeds of strife, gossip, judgment, disrespect. 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:16.360 They will see you promoted in a place of honor, 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:22.480 fulfilling your destiny. God is a faithful God. Now quit 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:27.120 letty what somebody said about you sour your day. Well, Joel, 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.280 I'm stressed because my cousin's talking about me, or my 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.760 friend won't give me any credit. A classmates at school, 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.120 they keep making fun of me. Now put on the 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.440 no stick anointing and let that slide right off of you. 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:44.440 Like David, your day of vindication is coming. People don't 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:48.600 control your destiny. What they say or do does not 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:53.080 affect your future. God is in control. He has the 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.080 final say. He's not only going to bring you out, 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.960 but because of their comments, he's going to bring you 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.160 out better. What they meant for harm. God's going to 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:06.560 use to your advantage. Here's what I've learned. The more 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:11.480 success you have, the more opposition you will face. Everybody 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:15.879 can't handle your success. All your family members, friends, relatives, 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.680 they're not going to celebrate the favor on your life. 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:21.720 They were fine as long as you were at the 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.880 same level. But when you get promoted, instead of being 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.800 happy for you knowing that if God did it for you, 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:32.159 he can do it for them, many times it stirs 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.840 up jealousy. And if you don't have this no stick anointing, 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:40.520 you will get involved in battles that don't matter. You've 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:44.800 got to let the criticism, the disrespectful comments slide right 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.720 off of you. May be difficult, what they're saying may 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:52.479 be very hurtful, but God always gives you the grace 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:55.560 for the season that you're in. You got to remind 0:17:55.600 --> 0:18:00.239 yourself I have the power to overlook this insult. One 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.679 of the greatest marks of maturity is to not be 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:08.960 critical towards someone who is being critical of you. Youman 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.320 nature wants to get in there and fight that battle. 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.000 They're talking behind my back. I'm going to talk behind 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.399 their back. They're criticizing me. Let me tell you a 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.800 few things I know about then. Now, when you are 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.639 critical of someone who is critical of you, you're letting 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:29.679 their poison get on the inside. The scripture says Jesus 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:33.160 did not answer his critics. He let it slide right 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:35.720 off of him, and he just kept running his race. 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:40.280 He knew not everybody would understand him, not everybody would 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:44.119 like him, but that was okay. I heard Billy Graham 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:47.360 telling about the first time he went over to England 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:51.680 nearly sixty years ago. The press was very negative. They said, 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.800 we don't need your religion over here. We don't need 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:59.720 another minister. One reporter ask him, very sarcastically, how can 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:04.080 you even justify coming over here on a big ocean liner, 0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:08.400 a big ship. When Jesus wrote a donkey everywhere he went, 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.200 Billy Graham said, if you can find me a donkey 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.960 that can walk on water, I'll buy it in a minute. 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:22.000 Shake off the criticism. Everybody is not going to understand you. 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:25.680 Everybody is not going to like you, and that's okay. 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:28.840 You don't have to prove to them that you're all right. 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.600 Do like Jesus and don't answer your critics. See, we 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:36.320 get involved in many battles that we're not supposed to fight. 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:41.800 When people are critical, disrespectful, That is simply a distraction. 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:46.159 The coworker that's talking about you You could easily spend 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:49.719 all your time and energy thinking about what they're saying, 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.520 trying to figure out how you can pay them back 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.960 or how you can change their mind. Now, that's a distraction. 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.399 It's a battle you're not supposed to be engaged in. 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.760 God has given us a solution. It's the no stick annoying. 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:07.239 Let it slide right off of you. Don't think about it, 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.520 don't try to pay them back, don't try to convince 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.760 them that you're okay. Let it go and God will 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:17.760 fight your battles. God has the right people in your future. 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:22.919 You should not waste your valuable time continually trying to 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:26.800 convince somebody to like you. Here's the key. Go where 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:31.960 you're celebrated, not where you're tolerated. Quit trying to win 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:36.719 over a person that just tolerates you. They're not really 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:39.800 for you, deep down. The truth be known. They're kind 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:42.800 of jealous of the gift God's given you. No matter 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:44.960 what you do, they're not going to be one hundred 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:48.639 percent behind you. You may convince them for a little while, 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:52.200 but as soon as you don't perform perfectly, they'll find 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:55.200 something that you're doing wrong. That's like trying to ride 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.960 a dead horse. It's trying to dismount, get off and 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:00.760 move forward. Well, you said, well, if I do that, 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:04.639 I may not have their approval. You don't need their approval, 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:10.280 you have Almighty God's approval. If David would have sat 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:14.040 around trying to win over all of his brothers convince 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:17.320 them to accept and approve him, he would have missed 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:22.000 his destiny. He was kind, he was respectful, but he 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:26.000 didn't worry about family members that did not like him. 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:30.040 You may have some relatives that are never going to 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:33.200 celebrate you like they should. They're never going to give 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:36.879 you the respect that you deserve, and that's hard. But 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:39.760 you have to accept the fact that you don't have 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:43.080 to have their approval. You don't need them cheering you on. 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:46.960 Be kind, be respectful, but dig your heels in and say, 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:50.919 like David, I'm going to fulfill my destiny in spite 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:55.879 of who is not behind me. The scripture says Jesus' 0:21:55.960 --> 0:22:00.480 own brothers didn't believe in him. That must have been ficult. 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:04.560 Here he was out changing the world, opening blind eyes, 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:08.520 raising people from the dead, and his own brothers wouldn't 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:12.480 compliment him, wouldn't give him any respect. He couldn't do 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:17.000 any miracles in his hometown because they had Jesus in 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:20.520 a box of who he used to be. They thought, 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:24.359 this is Joseph's son. Nothing special about him, we know him. 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:29.919 He's just a carpenter. They dismissed him, didn't recognize his gift. 0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:34.320 Jesus didn't stay where he was tolerated. He didn't say, 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:37.440 come on, guys, I really am the Messiah. You should 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:40.159 see what I can do. I can turn water into wine. No, 0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:43.840 he knew they would never accept him, so he left 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:47.520 where he was tolerated and went to where he was celebrated. 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:52.399 Some of you are spending too much time trying to 0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:56.919 win people over that are never going to be one over. Maybe, 0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:01.199 like Jesus, it's a family member, a relative, they should 0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:05.199 be for you, but they're not. Human nature longs for 0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:09.400 the approval, We long for the acceptance. But you cannot 0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:12.800 waste your time trying to get something from someone that 0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:16.160 they're never going to give you. You keep moving forward 0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:19.359 and you will come into the right people, people that 0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:23.240 God has ordained, people that will celebrate you, people that 0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:26.439 will be for you. Was talking to a lady in 0:23:26.480 --> 0:23:28.800 the lobby a while back, and she comes from a 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:33.080 very large family, and she was so upset because one 0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:36.120 of her sisters doesn't like her. This has been going 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.600 on for years and years, really bothers her. She said, Joel, 0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:43.520 I don't understand it. I call her, I'm good to her, 0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.360 go out of my way to be kind, but no 0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:49.840 matter what I do, she always finds fault with me. 0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:53.520 I told her what I'm telling you. You're never going 0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:57.800 to please everyone. The scripture says, as far as you 0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:02.359 can live at peace with every person, do you know 0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:05.840 some people don't want to have peace with you. They 0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:08.840 have their own issues that they're not dealing with. Now, 0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:12.080 quit trying to win over somebody that doesn't want peace. 0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:15.920 You've done your part, You've gone the extra mile. Now 0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:18.919 just back away. If they don't want to have peace, 0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:23.600 it's not your problem, it's theirs. You are not responsible 0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:27.720 for somebody else's happiness. You're responsible for your own happiness. 0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:31.000 But if you go around trying to keep everybody happy, 0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:35.639 meet all their demands went over their approval, the one 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:38.840 person who is not going to be happy is you. 0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:42.880 Now I've learned some people you have to love from 0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:46.840 a distance. They're your family, they're your relatives. Yes, you 0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:49.280 love them, but you can't be with them every day. 0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:52.600 They don't want to have peace with you. Now, don't 0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:56.200 frustrate yourself trying to make something happen that's never going 0:24:56.240 --> 0:25:00.080 to happen. And that's not being rude, that's not being disrespectful. Well, 0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:04.880 that is being responsible with the gift God has given you. 0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:08.760 You have a responsibility to use your time, your energy, 0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:12.840 your emotions, your talent for the right purposes. You should 0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:17.360 not continually be trying to convince somebody to like you. 0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:21.639 When Jesus sent his disciples into the different cities, he 0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:25.399 knew not everybody would understand them. He knew some people 0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:29.280 would find fault and start to criticize. So he told 0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:33.560 them in Matthew ten fourteen, when you go into a city, 0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:38.159 whoever will not accept you. When you leave that place, 0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:42.280 shake the dust off your feet. Notice he didn't say 0:25:42.480 --> 0:25:45.240 try to win everybody over, try to make sure they 0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:49.400 know that you're okay. No, he said, be kind, be respectful, 0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:53.040 but if they don't accept you, shake it off and 0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:56.600 move forward. Or he would saying, in effect, don't stay 0:25:56.640 --> 0:26:00.000 where you're tolerated, don't try to win over all your credit, 0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:03.199 don't try to convince all your family members to like you. 0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:06.480 Just shake it off and go where you're celebrated. In 0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:08.880 the Book of Esther, there's a man by the name 0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:11.840 of Haman. He was the most powerful man in the 0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:17.240 empire beside the king. He had influence, authority favor. When 0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:20.399 he walked by, people would bow down before him. But 0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:25.160 one person refused to show him respect. One man refused 0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:29.439 to bow down. Hayman got so angry, so upset, that 0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:32.520 he couldn't sleep at night. All he could think about 0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:35.920 is how he could make this one man show him respect. 0:26:36.720 --> 0:26:39.520 Here he had the honor of the whole city, but 0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:42.560 he was so consumed by this one man that he 0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:46.600 lost his focus and got engaged in a battle that 0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:50.159 he wasn't supposed to fight. He got so off course, 0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:53.800 he not only lost his position, but he ended up 0:26:53.960 --> 0:26:57.960 losing his life. What am I saying, Don't let one 0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:01.960 family member that won't show you respect cause you to 0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:05.000 lose your focus to where you spend all your time 0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:09.320 and energy trying to win them over. Don't let one neighbor, 0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:14.000 one coworker, one classmate cause you to get distracted and 0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:18.359 miss your destiny. If they won't respect you, shake it off. 0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:21.399 If they try to be little you shake it off. 0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:24.320 If they're finding fault, trying to make you look bad, 0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:29.320 shake it off. Your destiny is too great, your assignment 0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:35.680 too important, your time too valuable to let these negative comments, gossip, 0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:41.200 criticism weigh you down. It is simply a distraction. Some 0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:44.200 of you are engaged in battles that you're not supposed 0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:47.160 to fight, trying to win somebody over that's never going 0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:49.800 to be one over. It's time to shake it off 0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:53.880 and move forward. Don't stay where you're tolerated, go where 0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:57.359 you're celebrated. You don't have to have their approval. You 0:27:57.480 --> 0:28:01.600 have Almighty God's approval. Now I'm asking us today, every 0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:04.439 one of us, before we leave the house, spray on 0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:07.959 the pan. Decide ahead of time. Nothing that comes your 0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:10.960 way is going to sour your day. If you will 0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:15.440 keep this no stick anointing on, let any negative comments, 0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:19.000 the disrespect slide right off of you, then God will 0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:21.160 do for you what he did for the prophet. The 0:28:21.160 --> 0:28:23.960 more people talk, the higher God will take you. They're 0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:26.439 trying to push you down, God will use them to 0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:29.960 lift you up. Just like David, I believe in declare, 0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:34.560 no person will keep you from your destiny. No disrespect 0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:38.640 will stop God's plan, no negative comment will hold you back. 0:28:38.880 --> 0:28:42.719 You will overcome every obstacle, defeat every enemy, and become 0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:46.040 everything God's created you to be. Amen. Do you receive 0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:50.960 it today? But we never like to close our broadcast 0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:54.000 without giving you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord 0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:57.880 of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:03.600 I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll 0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:08.040 make you my Lord and savior. Amen.
