I 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.240 like to start with something funny, and I heard about 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.000 these three men that were out walking through the wilderness 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.760 and they came upon this very violent, raging river. They 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.160 needed to get to the other side. The first man prayed, God, 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.120 please give me the strength to make it across, and 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.320 poof God gave him big arms and strong legs, and 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.480 he was able to swim across in two hours. The 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.760 next man, seeing this, prayed God, please give me the 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.079 strength and the tools to make it across, and poof 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.480 God gave him a boat. He was able to row 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.240 across in thirty minutes. The next man prayed, God, please 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.359 give me the strength, the tools, and the intelligence to 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.440 make it a cross, and poof God turned him into 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:04.240 a woman. She looked at the map, hiked five minutes upstream, 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:11.040 and walked across the bridge. And yes, that was sent 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.799 to me by a woman. Hold up your Bible, say 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.680 it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.040 am what it says I am. I have what it 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.440 says I have. I can do what it says I 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.520 can do. Today I will be talked the word of God. 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:30.240 I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.280 I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:38.000 bless you. I want to talk to you today about 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:42.320 having a good opinion of yourself. Too many people go 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.600 around feeling wrong on the inside. 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.440 They don't really like who they are. They think that. 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.440 They're not talented, they don't have a good personality, their 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.160 nose is too big, they made too many mistakes. In 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:00.000 their mind, a recording is constantly playing I'm going to try, 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:05.560 I'm slow, I'm clumsy, I'm overweight. They never see anything 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:09.560 they're doing right. They can compliment others, but they never 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:15.160 compliment themselves. This is the root cause of many relationship problems. 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.240 If you don't love yourself in a healthy way, you 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.719 will never be able to love others in the way 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.719 that you should. We all have faults and weaknesses, we 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.760 all have things that we wish were different, But God 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.800 never created us to go through life being against ourselves. 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.839 The opinion you have of yourself is the most important 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:40.880 opinion that you have. If you see yourself as less 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:47.440 than inferior, not talented, not valuable, you will become exactly that. 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:53.640 You are constantly conveying what's on the inside, even subconsciously, 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.480 you're always sending out certain messages. 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.039 If you feel unattractive inside. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.039 You can be the most beautiful person around, but you 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:07.920 will convey those feelings of unattractiveness. It'll push people away 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.560 and you'll miss out on great relationships. The problem is 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.520 on the inside. You carry yourself the way you feel 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.240 about yourself. Now I've seen just the opposite take place. 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.240 I met a young lady recently, and I said this 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:27.719 very respectfully. But on the surface, she wasn't very attractive. 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.040 She didn't have a lot of natural beauty. But can 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.440 I tell you, on the inside she had it going on. 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.920 She was not arrogant, but she was confident. She knew 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.120 she was made in the image of Almighty God. She 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.880 knew she was crowned with honor and favor. She may 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:51.479 have looked ordinary, but she thought extraordinary. She carried herself 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:55.560 like a queen. She walked like she was royalty. She 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.120 smiled like she was Miss America. She dressed like she 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.920 was headed for the way. She may have bought it 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.600 at the discount store, but she wore it like it 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.000 came from sas fifth. All I could say was, you 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:13.800 go girl? What was the difference? On the inside? She 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:19.520 sees herself as beautiful, attractive, smart, creative, a child of 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.440 the most time, and what's on the inside eventually will 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.799 show up on the outside. Because she had the right 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:33.640 opinion of herself. She exudes strength, confidence, ability, beauty. Here's 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.160 the key. People see you the way you see yourself. 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:42.360 If you see yourself as talented, creative, with it, that's 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:43.640 the way people will see you. 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:45.080 That's what you're sending out. 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:50.200 But if you see yourself as less than inferior, not talented, 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.960 that's the way other people will see you, some of you. 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.800 If you would just change the opinion of yourself, if 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.440 you would quit beating yourself up over pas failures, if 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.680 you had quit dwelling on every physical trait you wish 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.640 was different, if you'd quit comparing yourself to somebody else 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.840 and start really loving yourself and value in who you 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.720 are and seeing yourself as the masterpiece God created you 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:20.080 to be. Then as you send out these different messages. 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.240 You're going to see new doors open, new opportunities, new friendships, 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:25.560 new levels. 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:26.040 Of God's favor. 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.200 This is exactly what happened to the Israelites when the 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:34.000 Spies came back from the Promised Land. They said to Moses, 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.080 they're in numbers thirteen, verse thirty three. 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:38.480 We were in our own. 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:42.520 Sites as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sits. 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:47.160 Notice they didn't say, Moses, those people insulted us. They 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:51.840 called us grasshoppers. No, they went in with a grasshopper mentality. 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:53.840 They said, we were in our. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:57.520 Own sites as grasshoppers. Notice what happened. 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.480 Notice what they conveyed, here's the prince at work, and 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.400 so we were in their sights. In other words, they 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:09.520 saw us the same way we saw ourselves. This story 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.240 would have turned out differently if they would have had 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.480 a right opinion of who they are, if they would 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:20.160 have seen themselves strong, confident, more than conquers, then they 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.560 would have come back like Joshua and Caleb and said, Moses, 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.000 we are well able. Let us go up at once 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:30.800 and take the land again. The problem was on the inside. 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.840 Growing up, we had a dog named Scooter. He was 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.560 a big german shepherd, very strong, very fast. In fact, 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:41.280 Scooter was the king of the neighborhood. My father used 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.960 to ride his bicycle for exercise through the subdivision. Scooter 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.640 would follow along beside him. My dad told how proud 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.480 he was of Scooter. Scooter looked like he could fight 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:55.160 a tiger. But one day, while they were riding about 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:59.200 fifty yards in front of them, this tiny little chihuahua 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.000 he bursting out of one of the homes, racing towards 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.080 Scooter ninety miles an hour, barking to the top of 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:09.640 his lungs. My father thought, you poor little dog, you 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.840 were messing with the wrong dog. Scooter can put one 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.000 paw on you and totally finish you off. But when 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.199 that little chihuahua got about twenty yards away, all of 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.440 a sudden, Scooter froze in his tracks. He hung his 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.439 head like he was scared intimidated. When that little chihuahua 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.000 got up to Scooter, still barking as loud as he 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.240 could be, Scooter rolled over on his back and put 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.840 all four legs up in the air. Daddy said, I 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:40.000 wanted to kick that dog all the way home. Scooter 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:44.840 needed to hear this message, but that little dog. He 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.600 may have been small on the outside, but somehow on 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:53.760 the inside he saw himself strong, confident, well able, and 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.960 what was on the inside emanated to the outside. I thought, 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.319 if we could just have as good opinion of ourselves 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.559 as that little dog, for we could just be as 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.920 bold and strong and confident on the inside. The problem 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:12.400 today is there are too many grasshopper believers. They see 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:16.480 themselves as weak, defeated, not able to and the image 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:20.440 on the inside is being conveyed to the outside. I've 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:25.160 discovered if you send out feelings of inferiority, then people 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:29.199 are gonna treat you inferior. If you send out weak, defeated, 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.200 washed up, made too many mistakes feelings, that's exactly the 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.040 way people are gonna treat you. And you may feel, 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.760 in a sense like that little dog. In other words, 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:42.120 you're at a disadvantage in life. You don't have the size, 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:47.160 the talent, the looks, the education, the family name. Listen, 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.439 none of that matters. All that matters is the creator 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:54.160 of the universe breathed his life into you. He created 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.400 you as a person of destiny. You have seeds of 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:01.600 greatness on the inside. You may have made mistakes. People 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.120 may have tried to push you down. You probably have 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:05.560 faults and weakness, as. 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:06.040 We all do. 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.520 But let me remind you you are not a grasshopper. 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.520 You are a child of the most High God. Put 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:16.120 your shoulders back, hold your head up higher. Don't you 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:20.760 dare go through life being against yourself. Shake off the inferiority. 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.680 Shake off the self pity, Shake off the disappointment, shake 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:25.520 off the failure. 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:26.840 Have the attitude. 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.599 I am who, God says I am. I am equipped, 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.560 I am empowered, I am strong, I am highly favored. 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:38.319 I am well able to fulfill my destiny. I heard 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.480 a story about this man and his small son. They 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.160 were out walking through the mountains and at one point 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.520 the little boy slipped and he slid twenty or thirty 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.120 yards down the mountain side, and he was finally able 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.880 to grab onto a tree branch and hold on. He 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:57.320 screamed out, help me. This voice boom back, help me. 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.800 He looked kind of confused. He said, who are you? 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:05.160 The voice boom back, Who are you? He got aggravated. 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.360 He said, you're a fool. The voice came back, You're 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.840 a fool. He said, you're a coward. The voice came back, 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.240 you're a coward. About that time, his father got to me, 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.840 he said, Dad, who is that? His dad laughed and said, son, 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.040 that's called an echo, but really it's called life. Said, 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.640 let me show you something, son. The dad hollered out, 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.840 you're a winner. The voice boom back, you're a winner. 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:30.400 You're talented. 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.160 Came back. You're talented. He said, You've got what it takes. 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.000 The voice rang out, you got what it takes, he said, son, 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.840 that's how life is. Whatever you send out always comes 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:45.120 back to you. Let me ask you, what are you 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:50.040 sending out about yourself? Well, I'm kind of slow, joel, 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.880 I'm a failure. I've made so many mistakes. Nobody wants 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.880 to be around me. No, start sending out I'm strong, 0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:00.880 I'm talented, I'm creative, I'm healthy, I'm fun, i am victorious. 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.520 What you send out is going to come back. When 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.920 you wake up in the morning. One of the best 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.040 things you can do is, after you thank God for 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:14.200 his goodness, start your day off thinking about what's right 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.840 with you. Do not lay in bed thinking about all 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:22.160 the mistakes you've made, all your faults, all your weaknesses. No, 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:26.520 on purpose, dwell on your good qualities. Dwell on your victories. 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.959 Dwell on what you like about yourself, instead of thinking, 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:33.360 oh man, just laying there, I'm so overweghed, I'm so 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.719 out of chef, I don't know what's wrong with me. No, 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.800 dwell on the fact that you've got a great personality. 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:40.840 People love being around you. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.160 You make everyone smile. 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.760 That's going to give you the confidence and the desire 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.840 to improve in those weak areas. The best gift that 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.280 you can give this world is a healthy you. When 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:58.520 you get up each day excited, confidence, secure, happy, hopeful, 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.200 you are giving this world world the best that you 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.320 can possibly give the gift of you. 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:05.160 Now, let me challenge you. 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.280 Don't ever say another negative thing about yourself. 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.040 You may be frustrated, you may. 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.000 Be tempted to do it, but you've got to bite 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.440 your tom don't let it come out of your mouth. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.640 When you talk bad about yourself, it pushes you down, 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:22.240 It steals your. 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.520 Confidence, and it saddens your spirit. 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.640 I hear people say often, I'm so clumsy, I can't 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.080 do anything right. Had a lady tell me last week, Joel, 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.600 I'm just a terrible mother. I used to play basketball 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.440 with a young man and when he would. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:37.920 Miss a shot. 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.680 He would call himself by name and say, Danny, you idiot, 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:42.920 You idiot, you idiot. 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.360 He'd say it like five times. I had a friend 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.120 that called him Danny the idiot. 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.720 Do you have to realize when you criticize yourself, you 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.440 are criticizing God's very own creation. You may as well 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.600 look up to the heavens and say, God, you didn't 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:01.720 do a very good job with me. God did not 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:05.600 make any mistakes when he created you. He stepped back 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:09.640 and said, I did it again, another masterpiece. Now turn 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.200 it around. Quit seeing the bad and start seeing the good. 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:19.000 Let me ask you, have you complimented yourself lately? I 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.080 know people they can compliment others they see the best 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.520 in somebody else, but they never see the best in themselves. 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.480 But just like you would tell a friend, hey, you 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.320 look great today, or a coworker you did excellent on 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.880 that presentation, you need to be able to say to yourself, 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.920 you look good, you did great today. It's healthy to 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:44.000 compliment yourself. There's a young lady on our staff, and 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.400 she told our women's group that when she gets up 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.840 in the morning, she looks at herself in the mirror 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:53.800 and says, girl, you are looking good today. I saw 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:55.640 her not long after that, and I asked her if 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:56.560 she was still doing that. 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:57.520 She said yeah. 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.680 In fact, Joel, when I got up this morning, I 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.800 looked myself in the mirror and say, girls, some days 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:07.600 you look good, but today you're looking really good. Now, 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:11.000 I wonder how many of us would be that bold 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.600 to look in the mirror and say, you look great today. 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.160 Most people, when they wake up in the morning look 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.280 in the mirror, they think, oh, man, I look terrible, 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.560 and I'm getting so old. And look at all these wrinkles. 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.000 Look how gray my hair is, or where did my 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:31.800 hair go? They start their day depressed, discouraged against themselves. 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.000 But I'm gonna give you a challenge. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.440 I'm gonna give you an assignment for the next thirty days. 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:39.880 When you get up in the morning, look at yourself 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.520 in the mirror, smile real big, and say, good morning, 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:47.360 you good looking thing. You'll not only feel better, but 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:48.400 it'll probably. 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:49.000 Give you a good laugh. 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.080 Now, some of you, like my brother Paul, you're gonna 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.480 be calling the things that are not as if they were. 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:59.920 Just do it by faith. I couldn't resis. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.280 It's interesting In the Book of Genesis. When God created 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.000 the heavens and the earth, he said, let there be light, 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.440 and light came and God. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:11.800 Said that was good. 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:16.280 He separated the waters from the sky and God said. 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:16.959 That was good. 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.040 He made the night and the day, and God said 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:21.600 it again, that was good. 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:23.080 What's my point? 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:27.240 When God did something good, he praised himself. He looked 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.280 back and said, I like that I did good. 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:31.640 We need to learn to do the same thing. 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:35.040 When you accomplish something, when you give it your best, 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.040 you need to look back and say, I'm proud of myself. 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:39.040 I did good. 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.160 I know people that are never happy with themselves. They 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.920 can work night and day accomplish something great, but they 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.159 always think, if I could have just done it a 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:51.280 little bit better, if I'd have just had a little 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:55.199 more time. No quit being overly critical and learn to 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:59.080 compliment yourself instead of dwelling on all man I was 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.480 late to work one day this week, and I didn't 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.120 spend enough time with my children. 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:04.199 No turn it around. 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:06.439 Dwell on the fact that, Hey, I may have been 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:08.639 late to work one day, but I did go to 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:09.400 church Sunday. 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:10.160 That was good. 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.359 May not have spent enough time with my children, but 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.040 I did make sure they had hot meals. 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:15.840 That was good. 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:18.720 May have blown my diet, but I did take the 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.400 stairs instead of the elevator. 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:22.639 That was good. Find the good. 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.679 Think about this. When God created the heavens and the earth, 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.359 and he first said it was good, he had not 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:34.800 yet separated the waters from the sky. It was still chaotic, 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.679 still a great mess. He had not yet made the 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:41.840 fish and the animals. He'd not created the beautiful mountains 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:46.399 and the beautiful oceans yet. But God still stepped back. 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.680 He paused for a moment and said, in effect, I'm 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:50.320 not done. 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:54.680 It's not finished. It's not perfect, but so far, so good. 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.000 You may not be exactly where you'd like to be 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.320 in life, but on a regulars you need to pause 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:02.119 and say, you know. 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:03.240 What I've done good. 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:06.240 May not be living in my dream home just yet, 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.080 but I'm not in that small apartment. 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.040 I've done good. Pat yourself on the back. 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:14.000 Maybe you haven't totally overcome that addiction, but you are 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.560 better off than you were last year. You've cut back 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:21.920 some now, take time to compliment yourself, celebrate what you've accomplished. 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.840 Every one of you can look back in life and 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.640 find something where you can say I'm proud of myself. 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:32.120 I did good. That's what I want you to start. 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.360 Dwelling on, not how far you've got to go and 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.639 how many mistakes you've made and all your weaknesses. No, 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.719 if you're going to make it to your God given destination, 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:45.840 one way to stay encouraged is by celebrating your small 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:49.880 victories all along the way. A few months ago, I 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.440 was playing basketball with our son Jonathan. He's fourteen now, 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.720 and we played for years, one on one, him versus me. 0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:00.800 For the first time, he beat me, fair and square, 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:04.479 fifteen to fourteen. I gave him a high five and 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:09.520 then told him he was grounded. But at one point 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.280 during the game, he had gotten around me and went 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:14.879 up for a shot, and I had stumbled and lost 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:16.680 my footing, but I regained it. 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:19.520 He didn't see me. I came from behind. 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.840 Him, jumped as high as I could, timed it just right, 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:23.520 and I blocked his shot. 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:25.600 I mean I swatted it out of the air. 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:28.199 I felt like I was Shaquille O'Neill, like a professional. 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:32.560 A couple of days later, we were at the gym 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.400 playing with some friends and Jonathan said, hey, Dad, tell 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:39.320 everybody what happened the other night. My mind immediately went 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:43.040 to the block shot. I said, oh yeah, Jonathan went up. 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:44.760 He didn't see me. I timed, I must have been 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:47.080 this high and I went like. He said, no, Dad, 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:49.399 I meant tell him how I beat you for the 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:55.280 first time. But it's interesting. I didn't remember my defeat. 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:56.920 I remembered my victory. 0:20:57.920 --> 0:20:58.840 The first thing. 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.159 That came to my mind was that I lost the game, 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:03.800 but it was the fact that I'd done something good. 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:06.800 A lot of people, it's just the opposite. 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.840 Even though they win the game, they remember all the 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:13.440 mistakes they made. They never feel good about themselves. They're 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:16.960 too busy pushing themselves down because of something they didn't 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:20.480 do right. For instance, all in how we've trained ourselves. 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:22.840 I don't know about you, but I am not going 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:26.000 to go through life being against myself. I'm not gonna 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:30.160 stay focused on my defeats, my failures, my shortcomings. I'm 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:33.840 gonna work with God to improve in those areas. But 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:36.440 I'm gonna dwell on my good qualities. I'm gonna dwell 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:39.359 on what I like about myself. I'm gonna remember my 0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:44.320 victories and downplay my defense. The scripture says this, our 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:50.240 faith is made effectual when we acknowledge everything good. Notice 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:53.520 when our faith is effective, not when we acknowledge the defeats, 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:57.200 the failures, the shortcomings, not when we go around focused 0:21:57.200 --> 0:22:01.080 on everything we don't like about ourselves. Our faith becomes 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:04.800 effective when we acknowledge the good. Even though you lost 0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:07.240 the game, when you acknowledge the one. 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:08.480 Shot God helped you to block. 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:11.679 Your faith becomes effective when you get up in the 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:15.080 morning and you have a thousand reasons in the natural 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.639 to complain and be negative, but instead you shake it 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:21.480 off and say, Father, thank you for another beautiful day 0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:22.920 that you've made, thank you. 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:24.200 That I'm alive and healthy. 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:27.159 Thank you for my family and friends, thank you for 0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:30.240 the opportunity in front of me. When you do that, 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:33.919 your faith comes alive. That's what allows God to do 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:37.560 great things in your life. So many people go around 0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:41.479 doing just the opposite. They acknowledge everything that's wrong, And 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:44.520 I can't believe that person hurt me five years ago, 0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:47.439 and I wish I had thick, curly hair, and I 0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:50.119 don't know why my nose is so big. They wonder 0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:53.439 why they don't see God's blessings in favor. It's because 0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:56.680 their faith is not effective. They have such a poor. 0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:57.800 Opinion of themselves. 0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:00.720 And the sad thing is, I've seen how now some 0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:03.920 people think that it's holy to go around being down 0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:07.240 on themselves. They think it shows humility to go around 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:08.400 saying I'm just. 0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:09.720 A weak worm of the dust. 0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:12.560 I'm just a poor old sinner, just a fail. You're 0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:15.719 nothing good in me. No, you need to get rid 0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:19.000 of that attitude. There is something good in you. You 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:22.480 have the seed of Almighty God. You may have been 0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:25.199 a poor old sinner, but when you came to Christ, 0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:28.719 he made you a new creation. You may not feel worthy, 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:32.880 but He has made you worthy. You are no longer 0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:36.159 a sinner. You are a son a daughter of the 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.399 Most High God. And it does not bring any honor 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:46.200 to God for us to go around feeling unworthy, inferior, intimidated, insecure. No, 0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:48.480 if you want to bring a smile to God's face, 0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:50.879 if you want to see God open doors that no 0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:54.159 man can shut, if you want your faith to become effective, 0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:57.120 you have got to put your shoulders back, hold your 0:23:57.160 --> 0:24:00.600 head up high. You are not a grasshopper. You were 0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:03.840 never created to have wings but barely be able to 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:04.600 get off the ground. 0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:06.399 You were created to sore. 0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:09.600 God wants to take you places that you've never even 0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:13.520 dreamed of. Don't go through life being against yourself. God 0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:16.560 wants you to feel good about who you are. So 0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:19.840 often we can see the best in others, but I'm 0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:23.440 asking you today to start seeing the best in yourself. 0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:27.960 A while back, I was in a large auditorium speaking 0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:30.080 at one of our events on the road, and right 0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:32.879 in the middle of my message, I heard this voice 0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:36.080 coming from behind me, very very loud. It was a 0:24:36.119 --> 0:24:39.840 person speaking very passionately. Sounded like it was coming out 0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:42.920 of the monitor system for the band. I thought somebody 0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:45.800 had accidentally turned on a CD. And I was sure 0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:48.640 that our technicians were going to stop it as quickly 0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:51.159 as they could, and I did my best to ignore it, 0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:52.760 but finally I had to stop. 0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:54.119 It was just too distracting. 0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:57.560 When I did, I heard the voice saying, Joel's message 0:24:57.600 --> 0:25:01.280 is going around the world. They got it corrected and 0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:03.960 I finished my message. And after the service, I was 0:25:03.960 --> 0:25:05.800 talking to some of the team and I said, what 0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:09.720 was that voice? Who was that speaking? They downplayed it 0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:12.320 and said, oh, Joel. Somebody brought a little sound system 0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:13.960 and set it up in the lobby. They felt like 0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:16.679 they had something to say. I kind of laughed and said, well, 0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:20.120 at least they were saying something good about me, went on, Well, 0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.639 I found out later they weren't saying something good about me. 0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:25.520 They were telling everything they thought was wrong with me. 0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:30.080 But what's funny is I immediately assumed they were saying 0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:33.920 something good. I assume the best. See, I have an 0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:37.679 interesting philosophy I live by. I think everybody loves me. 0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:41.960 I think everybody wants to be my friend. I think 0:25:42.000 --> 0:25:46.720 I have something great to offer. And I realized that's naive. 0:25:47.359 --> 0:25:50.080 But can I tell you, naive is a great way 0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:53.520 to live. You are not supposed to go around assuming 0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:57.040 the worst. You're supposed to assume the best. I know 0:25:57.119 --> 0:25:59.480 people that will walk into a room with other people 0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:03.120 they've never met, and they immediately think, well, I'm sure 0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:05.480 they don't like me. I'm sure they don't want to 0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:07.760 hear my opinion. I'm sure they probably talking about me 0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:13.880 right now. No, you will never experience God's best being intimidated, insecure, 0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:15.080 assuming the worst. 0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:16.840 Retrain your mind. 0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:21.480 Let me tell you have something great to offer, your personality, 0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:26.600 your gifts, your smile, your love, your encouragement. That's one 0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:29.520 of a kind. You have the fingerprints of God all 0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:32.800 over you. Be confident in who God has made you 0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:35.680 to be. If somebody wants to talk bad about you, 0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:38.200 don't worry about it. They've got the problem, not you. 0:26:38.880 --> 0:26:41.000 If they don't want to be your friend, no big deal. 0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:43.320 It's their loss, not yours. God will bring you the 0:26:43.400 --> 0:26:46.560 right friends. But I want you to start seeing yourself 0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:50.560 as the masterpiece God created you to be. David said 0:26:50.560 --> 0:26:53.880 it this way saw one thirty nine. God, you made 0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:58.159 me in an amazing way. What you have done is wonderful. 0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:01.000 I wonder how many of us would be bold enough 0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:05.560 to say, like David, I'm amazing, I'm wonderful, I'm a masterpiece. 0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:09.159 Most people their mind would never even go in that direction. 0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:13.000 They're too busy beating themselves down. And I'm not talking 0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:17.720 about being arrogant. I'm talking about a quiet confidence. We're 0:27:17.720 --> 0:27:20.919 deep down in your innermost being, you know that, no 0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:23.920 matter how many mistakes you've made, no matter who's tried 0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:27.280 to push you down, no matter how inferior your own 0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:29.320 thoughts are trying to make you feel. 0:27:29.359 --> 0:27:32.439 That is not who you are, the Creator of the 0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:36.639 universe says you are amazing. You are wonderful. You are 0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:37.560 a masterpiece. 0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:41.359 Now I'm asking you today to get in agreement with God. 0:27:42.119 --> 0:27:45.439 Those negative thoughts may play the loudest, they may have 0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:47.919 been there for year after year, but this is a 0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:51.560 new day. You can change the recording all through the day. 0:27:51.600 --> 0:27:54.760 I want you to start saying to yourself, I'm strong, 0:27:55.240 --> 0:28:00.000 I'm healthy, I'm talented, I'm creative, I'm amazing, I'm wonderful. 0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:03.880 I'm a child of the most High God. Friends, this 0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:07.359 world needs your gift. When you are healthy and hold 0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:10.960 not just physically but on the inside, that's the best 0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:14.400 gift you can give this world. Remember, don't ever say 0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:18.000 another negative thing about yourself. What you send out is 0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:21.120 always going to come back. Turn it around and learn 0:28:21.160 --> 0:28:25.399 to compliment yourself. Start focusing on your good qualities. Dwell 0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:27.840 on your victories. People are going to see you the 0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:30.480 way you see yourself. If you will learn to have 0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.760 a good opinion of who you are and develop this habit, 0:28:33.840 --> 0:28:37.680 like the Scripture says, of acknowledging everything good, then you'll 0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:40.680 not only be happier and have better relationships, but your 0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:44.200 faith will become effective. That's when God will open doors 0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:47.480 that no man can shut. You'll overcome your obstacles. You'll 0:28:47.520 --> 0:28:51.920 accomplish your dreams. I believe and declare you'll become everything 0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:55.120 God created you to be, and you will have everything 0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:56.280 God intended for you to have. 0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:58.160 Amen.
