But 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.440 thanks for tuning in, and again thanks for coming out today. 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.000 I'd like to start with something funny each week. And 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.399 you know these are just jokes. Please don't be offended 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.320 by them. I heard about this man. He was in 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.200 a dark restaurant. He leaned over to the woman next 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.359 to him and said, Hey, would you like to hear 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.440 a blonde joke? She said, well, before you tell me, 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.880 you should know that I am blonde, six feet tall 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.200 and a professional bodybuilder, and the lady next to me 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:40.359 is blonde, six foot two and a professional wrestler. And 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.000 the lady next to her is blonde, six foot five 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.240 and the kickboxing champion of the world. Now, do you 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.679 still want to tell me the blonde joke? He thought 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:51.960 about it a moment, said no, not if I'm going 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:57.840 to have to explain it three times. All right, I 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.239 may need a ride home today. Say it like you 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.280 mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.800 says I am. I have what it says I have, 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.000 I can do what it says I can do. Today 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.040 I will be taught the word of God. I boldly 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:17.000 confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:21.120 I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:21.720 bless you. 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.040 I want to talk to you today about not giving 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:29.720 away your power. Every day we have opportunities to get upset, 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:34.480 to be frustrated, to go around offended. Maybe our plans 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.320 didn't work out, or somebody was rude to us at 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.320 the office, or what should have taken an hour ended 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.920 up taking three hours. Life is full of inconveniences. There 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.320 will always be interruptions, people that are hard to get 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:52.600 along with. We can't control all of our circumstances, but 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:56.960 we can control our reaction. Now, I heard somebody say 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.440 life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.960 percent how you respond. And we should go out each 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:09.920 day positive, hopeful, expecting God's favor. But at the same 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:14.160 time we should be realistic, knowing that most days are 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.000 not going to go exactly as we had it planned. 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.360 And if you get stressed. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.640 Because you got off scheduled, we're upset because your child 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:27.240 would need his breakfast, frustrated because somebody offended you. What 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:31.599 you're doing is giving away your power. We were created 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:32.520 to be in peace. 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.360 And when you have this calmness on the inside, a 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.039 joy in your spirit, a smile on your face. 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.800 That's a position of power. That's when you're at your 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.560 very best. But too many people these days have the 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.400 wrong approach to life. They think they can't be happy 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:55.159 unless they control all their circumstances, make sure everything goes 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:55.640 their way. 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:57.600 But that's not realistic. 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.600 We have to come to the place where he can say, 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.120 I don't have to have my way in order to 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:04.800 have a good day. 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.960 My plans don't have to work out for me to 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:09.120 be happy. 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.919 Everybody doesn't have to treat me right for me to 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.480 enjoy my life. I have already made up my mind 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.960 no matter what does or doesn't happen, I'm going to 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:23.080 stay in peace and enjoy this day. And it helped 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:27.320 me when I realized that no person can take my joy, 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.920 No circumstance can take our peace, no interruption can take 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.000 our enthusiasm. 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:34.520 We have to give it away. 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.880 The next time you're tempted to get upset frustrated, ask yourself, 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:44.640 is this worth giving my power away? This man that's 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:46.800 rude to me on the phone, that I don't even 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.120 know Is it worth giving him my joy? Or this 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.800 coworker that left me out of a meeting? Is it 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.520 worth giving away my peace? And some of you today 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.920 you don't have the victory that you should, not because 0:05:59.920 --> 0:06:04.000 you can't, but because you keep giving it away. Life 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:08.039 is too short to live upset and offended. If you 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:12.400 allow your circumstances to control your joy, then there's always 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.720 going to be some reason to be discouraged. Well, hell, Joel, 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.719 it's the economy. It's the stock market. That's why I'm 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.560 so down. No quit giving away your power. God is 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:26.000 still on the throne. The economy in heaven is doing 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:26.960 just fine. 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.000 As long as you're connected to him, everything's going to 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:30.520 be all right. 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.440 Well, I had to cancel my vacation this year, or 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.720 my boss is sure hard to get along with this neighbor. 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.760 He really gets on my nerves. I've been praying asking 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.240 God to change him. The one thing I've learned is 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.960 never pray for God to change somebody else without first 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:52.120 saying God, change me. Even if that neighbor were to 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.760 move away. If you don't learn this principle to not 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.400 allow other people to steal your joy, two more people 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.040 just like will move back in. 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:03.159 We have to change. 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.200 Jesus put it this way John fourteen twenty seven. Stop 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.680 allowing yourself to be upset and disturbed. 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.480 Notice, it's a choice that we have to make. 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.720 He didn't say, I'm gonna make sure your circumstances are perfect. 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:19.720 That way you can be happy. 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.880 He said, in effect, the things that are upsetting you 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.400 right now, they don't have to. The people that are 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.320 aggravating you, even if they don't change, they don't have to. 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:35.000 If you'll make adjustments and change your approach to life, 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.080 you can be happy in spite of those circumstances. 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:40.440 I'm asking you today. 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:45.320 To stop allowing people and traffic and disappointments. 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.680 And inconveniences to steal your joy. 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.640 You have to put your foot down and say, this 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.640 child that gets on my nerves, I love him, but 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:53.760 I'm gonna rise above it. 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:55.640 I'm not gonna let this control. 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.360 Me, or this grumpy boss that jumps down my throat 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.080 for no reason. I'm not letting him ruin any more 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.560 of my days. That's what it means to not give 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.480 away your power. You've got to be determined that you're 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.880 going to enjoy your life. I heard this lady tell 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:15.600 how one of her husband's relatives was very opinionated. He 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:20.000 was always making these cutting, demeaning remarks toward her. This 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.880 couple hadn't been married that long, and every time they 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.920 were at family get togethers, invariably he would say something 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:27.760 that offended her. 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.280 She would get all upset and it'd ruin the whole trip. 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.920 She got to where she didn't want to even go 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:38.160 on these family events. Finally, she told her husband, you 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:39.280 got to do something. 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.240 About that man. He's your relative. 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.640 She was expecting the husband to say, you're right, honey, 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.640 he shouldn't talk to you like that. I'm gonna go 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.679 in there and set him straight, But the husband did 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:53.280 just the opposite. He said, Honey, I love you, but 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:57.000 I cannot control him. He has every right to have 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.560 his opinion. He can say what he wants to, but 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:05.040 you have every right to not get offended. At first, 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.640 she couldn't understand why her husband wouldn't really stick up 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.840 for her. Time and time again, she would get upset, 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.520 and if he was in one room, she would go 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.160 to another room. That man was outside, she would make 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.880 sure she stayed inside. Her whole focus was centered on 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.200 avoiding this man. One day, it was like a light 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.320 turned on. She realized she was giving away her power. 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.520 She was allowing one person that had issues of his 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.160 own to keep her from becoming who she was meant 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:36.360 to be. 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.120 When you allow what someone. 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:42.640 Says or does to upset you, you're allowing them to 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.240 control you. When you say you make me so mad, 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.959 what you're really doing is admitting that you're giving away 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.760 your power. As long as that person knows they can 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.600 push this button and you'll respond this way, and they 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.240 can make this remark and you'll get upset, and they 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:02.600 know if they go outside, you'll go inside. As long 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.760 as you keep responding the same way, you are giving 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:09.080 them exactly what they want. People have a right to 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.160 say what they want, to do what they want as 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.760 long as it's legal. But we have a right to 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.640 not get offended. We have a right to overlook it. 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.920 But when we get upset and go around angry, we change. 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.240 Somebody walks in the room, we get all tense. What's 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.640 happening is we're putting too much importance on what they 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:32.400 think about us. What they say about you does not 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:36.480 define who you are. Their opinion of you does not 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.960 determine your self worth. Let that bounce off of you 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.880 like water off of a duck's back. They have every 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.920 right to have their opinion, and you have every right 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.400 to ignore it. I found that some people they feel 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.199 like it's their calling in life to point out what 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:56.160 we're doing wrong and where we're missing it. They're constantly critical, 0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:00.480 always finding fault. There's nothing dead love anymore than to 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:04.480 keep you upset and arguing and always trying to prove 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:05.520 why you're okay. 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.320 You have got to rise above that. 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.040 You don't need them to agree with you. You don't have 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.080 to have their approval. Let that go and just be 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:16.199 who God made you to be. 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:18.359 One time, even. 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:22.480 With Moses, his relatives didn't like who he chose to marry. 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:24.960 They didn't like the fact that they weren't from the 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.960 same nationality, and they criticized Moses. 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:29.679 They even did it publicly. 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.040 They said, we don't agree with this, we don't give 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:36.040 him our approval. But down deep, Moses knew he was 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.760 making the right decision. He didn't argue with them, he 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.839 didn't get upset, he didn't criticize them back. 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:44.320 He just kept his peace. 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.200 Long story short, the person that was giving him the 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:52.720 most trouble, his most vocal critic. They came down with leprosy, 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:54.360 couldn't even stay around. 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:55.720 What am I saying? 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.320 You don't have to respond to every critic and try 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.920 to prove to people who you are. Just stay on 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.800 the high road and let God fight your battles for you. 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:09.960 Now I've learned some people that come across our path 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.280 don't want to be at peace with us. No matter 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.040 what we say or do, it's not going to convince 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.760 them to agree, or lie or even accept us. Even 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.480 if you were to change who you are, even if 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.199 you were to meet all their demands, they would still 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.840 find some reason to be critical. You have to accept 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.760 the fact that, no matter what you do, some people 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.760 are never going to be at peace with you. When 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.720 Jesus sent his disciples out, when they went into certain homes, 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.480 he told them to speak peace over that home, and 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.920 he said, in effect, if they don't receive it, then 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.160 the peace that you're offering them will come back to you. 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.000 That tells me if you will do your best to 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.040 be at peace with people, even if they wan't take 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.000 your peace, the good news is then that peace will 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.600 just come back to you. You'll not only get your piece, 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.120 but you'll get that other share as well. When you 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.079 do the right thing when the wrong thing's happening, God 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.240 sees it and he rewards it. I heard this man 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.160 tell how he was walking down the street with his friend. 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.080 They were going to buy a newspaper. They came to 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.359 the little store on the corner, and the clerk inside 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:24.040 was very rude, very inconsiderate. The man bought his paper. 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.319 When he got finished, he smiled real big and just said, 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:28.360 as friendly as can be. 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.440 I hope you have a great day to day. 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.800 As they were leaving, his friend said, is that clerk 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:39.080 always that rude? The man said, every single day. 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.160 He said, well, are you always that nice? 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.120 He said every single day. His friend was kind of puzzled. 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:49.000 He said why. The man said, I've made up my mind. 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.800 I'm not gonna let one person ruin by day. What 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.240 he was saying was, I'm not gonna give him my power. 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.640 He has every right to be obnoxious, rude, inconsiderate, but 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.960 I have every right to be happy, kind and friendly. 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.560 When you encounter people that have that poison on the inside, 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.160 it's so important that you don't let that poison rub 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:14.120 off on you. If you sink down to their level, 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.520 and you're cold and rude back to them. What's happened 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.600 is you've let them contaminate you. You've got to rise 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:24.360 above that. Be a part of the solution, not the problem. 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.560 You overcome evil with good. 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.920 If somebody's rude to you, just bless them, smile and 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:34.440 keep moving forward. Jesus put it this way, Blessed are 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:38.840 the meek, they will inherit the kingdom of God. When 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:44.280 we hear that word meek, many times we think of weak, shy, reserved, 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:46.680 just like a little fearful person. 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.840 We can't stand up for ourselves. We let everybody run 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:54.360 over us. That's not meek at all. Meekness is not weakness. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:15:00.600 It's strength under control. Meekness is like a wild horseained. 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.200 He's just as strong, just as powerful, has just as 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.520 much speed as before he was tamed. The only difference 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:11.520 is now that strength is under control. You can walk 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:15.080 up to him, pet him, lead the horse around, probably 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:16.480 get on him and ride him. 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:17.880 But don't be fooled. 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:22.240 He has the same power, the same tenacity. Now he's 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.920 just learned how to control it. And when you're a 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.680 meek person, you don't go around trying to straighten everybody out. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.080 You don't respond to every critic. People may be talking 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.680 about you, but you don't let it bother you. You 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.320 may have the power to do something about it, but 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.359 you realize your time is too valuable. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.960 That's just a distraction, it's not even worth putting your 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:45.760 energy toward. 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.760 When you're meek, you don't try to prove to people 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:54.760 who you are. Somebody insults you, makes those cunning, demeaning remarks. 0:15:55.240 --> 0:16:00.000 You realize that's their problem, not yours. Read between the line. 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.080 They must be pretty impressed with you, or they wouldn't 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.560 be trying to pull you down. Keep your strength under control. 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.000 It's not how loud we get or how many people 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.200 we straighten out, or let me show you what I'm 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.760 made of, or if you get in there and argue 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:18.800 with somebody try to prove your point. All you're doing 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.320 is sinking down to their level. Don't fall into that trap. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.680 You are an eagle, and an eagle doesn't waste his. 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:28.240 Time fighting with crows. 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:32.320 He just rises to an altitude where the crows cannot fly. 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.200 And in life, we're all going to have some crows 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:40.840 and some chickens and probably a few turkeys. That's okay. 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.040 They can't go where you're going. You may have the 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.840 power to straighten them out. You may feel like giving 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.560 them a piece of your mind. Your emotions will tell you. 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.880 Get in there, pay them back, get even. Listen to 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:58.160 what Paul told Timothy, stay calm, cool and collected. He 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.800 was saying, don't give away your power, keep your strength 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.280 under control. It's like this guy I heard about. He 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.920 was in a little country diner eating a burger by himself. 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.280 This motorcycle game came in. These guys were big and 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:17.240 tough and mean, and one biker just to show who 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.280 was in charge, he went over to his table and 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.600 knocked his hamburger on the floor, picked up his water 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:26.320 and poured it on top of his head. Said very sarcastically, Oh, 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.160 I'm sorry, it was an accident, just trying to pick 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.600 a fight. The guy sitting there calmly got his napkin, 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.080 wiped off the water, got up out of his chair 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:38.399 and just walked out of the restaurant. The biker shook 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.960 his head and said to the waiter, not much of 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:44.480 a man, Izzy. The waiter said no, and not much 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:48.120 of a driver either. He just ran over twelve choppers. 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.560 Driving out of here. That strength under control. 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.760 One time when I was dating Victoria, I was in 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.800 my early twenties and I was driving home from her 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:02.879 house alone about midnight. I had a real nice sports car. 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.359 I kept it spotless, didn't have one scratch on it. Now, 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.600 as I was driving, I came to a light at 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.600 an intersection, and there was a car already stopped in 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.040 the left hand lane going the same direction, and I 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.960 was still coming up, and the light changed before I 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.399 got there, so I never had to stop. But the 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.920 man in this lane, he decided to turn right from 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.520 the left lane and I came up. I had nowhere 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:27.600 to go, and so he hit the back. 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.240 Of my car and spun me around. 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:32.480 In a few moments, when it calmed down, I got 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.119 out of my car, knowing that it wasn't my fault, 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:39.119 and I'm naturally easy going. There's not much that upsets me. 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:41.040 I looked at the back of my car and it 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:44.320 was just totally destroyed. About that time, the man got 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.480 out of his car. It was very dark, but I 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.920 could see he was probably in his fifties. He started 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:54.400 ranting and raving, cursing, saying, kid, you need to learn 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:57.320 how to drive. I am so mad at you. I 0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:59.959 thought to myself, I'm the one that should be upset. 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.440 He just turned from the wrong land. He was about 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.000 thirty yards away. He got himself so worked up and 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:11.200 so angry. He started running toward me like he wanted 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:15.080 to fight. My first thought was do you want some 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:23.600 of this? Y'all know that's not true. My second thought, 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:28.600 the real thought, was how big is he? He got 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.639 about fifteen yards away, and I saw his about twice 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:35.160 my size. Right then and there, I had a revelation 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:40.200 this was a battle not worth fighting. I went around 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:42.440 on the other side of my car. 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.119 You said, Joe, you mean you were a chicken. No, 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:46.400 I mean I wanted to live. 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.840 You got to accept the fact some people are never 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.160 going to be at peace with you. They are never 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:55.919 going to see your point of view. You might as 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.920 well let it go and move on. And even if 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:00.080 you can win. 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:03.119 You have to ask yourself, is it worth it? What 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:04.720 is this gonna accomplish? 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:06.840 I mean, what if I would have stood up to him, 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:09.840 show him what I made of big deal? I don't 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.359 even know the man hadn't seen him ten minutes my 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:13.000 whole life. 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:15.520 It's not worth it. I made a decision. I'm not 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.359 gonna give him my power, my joy, my peace. 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:23.160 There are enough battles in life that are worth fighting 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.800 without getting involved in the ones that don't really matter. 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:30.399 Some of you today, you get upset too easily. You 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.600 allow too many things to steal your joy. The traffic, 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:38.639 the weather, A grumpy salesman and inconsiderate receptionists. Don't go 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:41.720 year after year that way, draw the line in the 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:43.880 sand and say, you know what, that's it. 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.320 I'm not giving away my power anymore. 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:50.880 I'm gonna stay calm, cool and collected. Heard this man 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:53.800 tell how he was in a taxi cab driving to 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:57.080 a meeting. They were on the feeder road and this 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.919 car pulled out of a side street and the cab 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.600 had to slam on his brakes swerve into the other 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:06.639 lane and missed the car by inches. The driver of 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:09.400 that car that pulled out, he rolled down his window, 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:13.840 started honking, screaming, shaking his fist. He was so upset, 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:17.720 so angry. The cab driver just smiled real big, waved 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:18.360 at him and. 0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:21.760 Kept on moving. The man in the back seat, the. 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:25.119 Customer there in that cab, He was so impressed. He 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:28.440 said to the driver that man almost totaled your car 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:31.960 almost sent us to the hospital. I can't believe you 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:34.240 didn't yell back at him. How were you able to 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:38.359 keep your cool? The taxi cab driver said, I've learned 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:42.399 something called the law of garbage trucks. He went on 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:46.560 to explain how many people are like these big garbage trucks. 0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:51.520 They go around all day full of frustration, full of disappointment, 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:55.520 full of anger. Now, as their garbage piles up, they 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:59.159 need somewhere to dump it, and sometimes they'll dump it on. 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:01.320 You. Don't take it personally. 0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:04.160 It doesn't have anything to do with you. Just smile, 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:09.240 wave at them and wish them well. Successful people don't 0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:11.840 allow garbage trucks to overtake their day. 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:14.160 If somebody dumps the load on. 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:18.600 You, don't get upset, don't get angry, don't get offended. 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.640 If you make that mistake, you'll end up carrying their 0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:26.240 load around and eventually you'll dump it on somebody else. 0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.840 Now'll keep your lid on. Sometimes these days we need 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:31.080 to have a steel lid. 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:36.120 People are dumping out so much poison and criticism, bad news, anger. 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:37.960 Keep that lid tight. 0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:41.439 We can't stop people from dumping their garbage, but if 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:42.560 we'll keep our lid. 0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:44.680 On, we can stop it from affecting us. 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:48.280 Right after nine to eleven, I was invited to come 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:50.960 to a local television station and be a part of 0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:54.879 a news program. I had to be there early Monday morning, 0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:58.000 around six point thirty. I was already kind of tired 0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:02.280 after Sunday and it was cold and raining, still dark. 0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:04.760 Didn't really feel like going, but I'd made the commitment. 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:05.760 I was on my way. 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:08.439 They told me to park right up front in this 0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:11.920 special reserved lot for the people that were on the program, 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:14.360 and so I pulled in there. But when I got 0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:17.840 out of my car, this lady came running over. She 0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:21.160 was a security guard. She came like I just committed 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:24.240 a major crime. She was not friendly at all. In fact, 0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:27.639 she was downright rude. She said, sir, what do you 0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:31.440 think you're doing. You cannot park here. This is reserved 0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:32.840 for our special guest. 0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:35.760 I wanted to say, lady, you can't get any more 0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:41.119 special than me. I had to bite my tongue. 0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:44.080 I said, well, ma'am, I am on the program today 0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:46.600 and they told me I could park here. She said, oh, 0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:48.639 they don't know what they're talking about. I run this 0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:51.120 lot you're gonna have to go outside the gate. 0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:53.879 I got back in my car. I couldn't find anywhere 0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:55.160 to park. I had to go in a little. 0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:58.120 Neighborhood way away, and it was still raining. I didn't 0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:00.679 have an umbrella, and as I ran to the station, 0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:02.040 with every step. 0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:03.160 I thought, this is not right. 0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:05.480 I'm gonna get in there and tell somebody on that lady. 0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:07.680 I'm gonna get her straightened out. I was about to 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:10.200 give away my power. I got in there and forgot 0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:12.560 all about it. A couple hours later, I came out 0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:14.720 after it was over. Now it was light and is 0:24:14.760 --> 0:24:17.440 cleared up. I was wearing my suit. As I walked out, 0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:20.280 the same lady, the same security guard. 0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:23.240 She was like a different person. She said, old Pastor 0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:27.960 o Stein. If I'd have known that was you, I 0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:29.160 would have let you park there. 0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:32.800 I was so glad I bit my tongue. She went 0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:34.800 on to say, do you think you'd have time to 0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:39.400 pray for me? I wanted to say I would if 0:24:39.400 --> 0:24:43.159 I didn't have to walk so far. We have to 0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:46.160 make up our mind. We are not going to take 0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:49.840 other people's garbage. They may dump it, but we don't 0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:50.640 have to receive it. 0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:51.639 Keep your lid on. 0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:57.280 I heard somebody say a small pot boils the quickest. 0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:00.600 You can tell a lot about how big a person 0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:03.040 is by what it takes to get them upset. 0:25:03.960 --> 0:25:05.200 Your emotions will. 0:25:05.080 --> 0:25:08.879 Either be controlled by your circumstances or by your character. 0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:12.800 Somebody's rude to you, your emotions will tell you pay 0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:16.639 them back, get even. That doesn't take any discipline, Just 0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:19.040 like a wild horse, you let them have it. But 0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:22.040 when you've got your strength under control, when you've developed 0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:24.960 your character, you realize, I'm bigger than this. 0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:27.080 I'm not going to let them pull me down. 0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:31.240 I've got places to go, goals to accomplish dreams, to 0:25:31.359 --> 0:25:35.000 realize you don't give away your time and energy on 0:25:35.080 --> 0:25:39.280 things that don't really matter. Character is only developed during 0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:42.359 the difficult times. It's developed when we do the right 0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:45.440 thing when the wrong thing's happening. And this is why 0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:48.840 some people don't have strong character, because the easy thing 0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:51.720 is to just do what you feel. When somebody is 0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:54.679 rude to us. It's easy to get offended, it's easy 0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:58.399 to pay them back. That hardly takes any effort. But 0:25:58.520 --> 0:26:02.439 it takes a mature person to overlook an offense and 0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:05.600 not let it ruin their day. It takes discipline to 0:26:05.640 --> 0:26:08.560 bite our tone when we feel like telling somebody off. 0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:12.240 It takes depth of character to say, you know what, 0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:14.160 they're trying to make me look bad. 0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:16.120 That's not right. But that's all right. 0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:18.159 I'm going to stay on the high road, knowing that 0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:21.240 God's fighting my battles for me, and in the meantime, 0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:25.120 I'm going to enjoy my life. I've discovered there will 0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:26.960 always be someone. 0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:28.480 To steal our joy if we allow. 0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:32.080 If it's not the family member aggravating you, it'll be 0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:32.600 a neighbor. 0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:34.679 It's not a neighbor, it'll be a coworker. 0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:37.760 If it's not a coworker, it'll be a grumpy salesman, 0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:41.119 or a slow driver on the freeway, or a child 0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:44.359 crying at the movie, or a telemarketer calling you during 0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:45.000 dinner time. 0:26:45.280 --> 0:26:48.359 People are everywhere. You can't get away from them. And 0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:49.159 the next. 0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:53.639 Time you have an opportunity to be offended, see that 0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:58.719 as an opportunity to develop your character. Just say no thanks. 0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:02.439 I'm going to stay caught, cool and collected. When you 0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:05.600 do that, you're passing the test, and as you grow 0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:09.680 in character, God will release more of his blessings. That's 0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:12.720 what it says in third John, verse two. God wishes 0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:16.199 above all things that we prosper and be in health. 0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:17.040 Here's the key. 0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:21.800 Even as our soul prospers, our soul is our mind, 0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:25.600 our will, and our emotions. This is saying, as we 0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:30.040 learn to control our emotions and be disciplined in our thoughts, 0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:33.760 in our actions. As we develop our character, God will 0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:35.280 release more of his favor. 0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:37.000 On the flip. 0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:40.040 Side, if we don't develop our character, it will limit 0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:44.000 how high we can go. Promotion comes from God, and 0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.760 God is not going to promote someone and give them 0:27:46.800 --> 0:27:49.159 recognition if he knows they're not going to be a 0:27:49.200 --> 0:27:51.960 good example. They're going to lose their cool every other day, 0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:52.920 treat people wrong. 0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:55.320 It will limit what God can do. 0:27:56.040 --> 0:27:59.199 But if we will focus on developing our character and 0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:01.439 learn to do the thing in the tough times and 0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:05.920 overlook these offenses, not let daily frustrations get us down. 0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:09.399 If we will rise above that, there's no limit to 0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:12.640 where God's going to take us. I'm asking us today 0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:16.119 to not go the next twenty years allowing the same 0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:19.399 people and the same circumstances to steal your joy. 0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:22.600 Don't give away your power, keep. 0:28:22.359 --> 0:28:25.480 Your lid on when somebody tries to dump their garbage 0:28:25.520 --> 0:28:27.840 on you, just smile, wave at him. 0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:28.320 And move on. 0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:32.040 Don't let that poison rub off on you. Be an 0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:32.880 eagle and. 0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:35.840 Rise above it. I want us to go into this new. 0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:39.280 Year more determined than ever that we're going to live life. 0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:39.880 To the full. 0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:45.080 We are not supposed to drag through the day frustrated, upset, offended. 0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:48.080 We're supposed to be full of joy, full of peace, 0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:51.640 full of victory. If you'll learn this principle to not 0:28:51.760 --> 0:28:55.240 give away your power and focus on developing your character, 0:28:55.920 --> 0:28:58.280 you're not only going to enjoy your life more, but 0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:00.680 God is going to pour out his blessing in favor. 0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:03.520 You're gonna rise higher and higher, and you will live 0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:05.880 that life of victory he has in store. 0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:09.920 Amen, do you receive that today? Well? 0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:12.520 We never like to close our broadcast without giving you 0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:15.120 an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:19.280 Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I 0:29:19.400 --> 0:29:23.720 repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make 0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:24.960 you my Lord and save you. 0:29:26.160 --> 0:29:26.480 Friends. 0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:28.760 If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:31.880 born again.
