I'd like to start 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.400 each week with something kind of funny. I heard about 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:26.279 this man. He was on vacation with his family in Jerusalem, 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.720 and suddenly his mother in law died. He went to 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.800 make arrangements to get the body back home. The consulate 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.799 told him it would cost five thousand dollars to have 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.639 it shipped, but only one hundred dollars to have it 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.040 buried there in Jerusalem. After deep thought, he told the 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.760 consulate he wanted to have the body shipped back home. 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.800 The consulate said, well, you must have really loved your 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.720 mother in law. He said, no, it wasn't necessarily that. 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.440 I just remember a time many years ago where they 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:57.359 buried somebody here. And on the third day, he arose, 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:03.040 and I can't take that chance. All right on your 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.160 bibles up, say it like you mean it. This is 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.600 my Bible. I am what it says I am. I 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.320 have what it says I have. I can do what 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.320 it says I can do. Today I will be talked 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:19.920 the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.600 my heart is recepted. I will never be the same. 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:28.040 In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.600 to you today about not getting stagnant in life. It's 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.960 so easy to get stuck in a rut to where 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:38.320 we're not growing, we're not improving, We've gotten comfortable and 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.800 we just accept the status quo. We're not happy in 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.320 our marriage, but at least we're still together. We've struggled 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.760 with our weight for years, but it's just too hard, 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.160 it's not worth it. Or maybe at one time we 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.360 were determined to break bad habits, we were determined to 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:58.080 overcome addictions, but now it's easier to just accept it. 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.880 I've heard people say I've had this sickness my whole lifetime. 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.000 I'll probably die with it gone as far in my 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.040 career as I can go. I just can't control my temper. 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:12.040 Too often we settle for things that are far less 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.840 than God's best. But if we're going to become all 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.640 that God's created us to be. We've better learn to 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.960 keep pressing forward in life. We've got to draw the 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.600 line in the sand and say no, I'm not going 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.360 to be comfortable where I am. I'm not going to 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.120 learn to live with these addictions. I'm not going to 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.960 make excuses for the way I treat people. I'm not 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.240 going to get content where I am in my career. 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.360 I'm going to stir myself up and start pressing forward. 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.479 I'm going to start believing for greater things, and our 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.480 attitude should be I'm coming up higher. I'm going to 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:47.039 become all that God's created me to be. The Scripture 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.520 says in Proverbs that the path of the righteous gets 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:55.280 brighter and brighter. That means we should be increasing. We 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.360 should be seeing more of God's blessings and favor in 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.840 our lives. Let me displaying more of His character, more kindness, 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:07.840 more compassion, more patience. Our attitude this year should be 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.720 better than it was last year. But some of you 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.839 are stuck in a rut. You're not growing, you're not improving, 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.080 You've just settled where you are, and it's easy to 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.520 try to justify it. Well, everybody in my family is 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.880 like this, Joel I can't help it. My mother was depressed, 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.760 That's why I'm kind of depressed. My father he had 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.240 a bad temper. Now I have one or all my 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:34.200 relatives struggle with alcohol. That's why I had this problem. No, 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.400 those are wrong mindsets. You may have been influenced by 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.440 your past, but you don't have to be controlled by it. 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.880 Don't learn to live with things like that. Yes, that 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.120 may be the reason you are the way you are, 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.960 but don't let it be an excuse to stay the 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.120 way you are. You can come up higher. And there's 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:57.320 an interesting scripture here in Ezekiel eighteen, verse two, it says, 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:02.240 what do you mean by quoting this? The fathers ate 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.719 the sour grapes, and now the children's teeth are set 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.960 on edge. As surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:14.280 you will no longer quote this. What's happening here is 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.600 this is a proverb they had been living by, and 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.560 it was basically saying, since the father did wrong, then 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:25.280 the children will have problems as well. Since the father 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.880 ate the sour grapes, because the parents had addictions, because 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.440 the grandparents were defeated and depressed, then the children will 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:37.160 struggle with the same things. That was their philosophy. Everything 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.440 just keeps getting passed down. That's who we are. And 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.440 evidently they'd been thinking this way for a long time, 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.800 because God showed up and said, hey, stop saying that. 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.000 Why are you using your relatives as an excuse? Why 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.160 are you using your parents and how you were raised 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.880 and what you didn't have as a reason to stay 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.720 the way you are. As long as the sovereign Lord 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.320 is a life, you don't have to be bound by 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.400 the bondages of the past. In other words, your relatives 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.920 may have eaten the sour grapes, your parents may have 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.920 made some poor choices in life. Maybe you look back 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.000 in your bloodline and you see all kinds of defeat 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.400 and mediocrity that goes back for generations. But God is 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:23.280 saying it does not have to affect you. Yes, it 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.040 may have given you some disadvantages. Yes it may have 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.400 held you back for a little while. But this is 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.840 a new day, and if you'll get rid of the 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:35.160 wrong mindsets and start pressing forward, then all the forces 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.600 of darkness cannot hold you back. Understand what's happened in 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.720 your past, how you were raised, what your parents did 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.040 or didn't do, for you cannot keep you from becoming 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.120 all God's created you to be. Now Here, too many 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.840 people today saying things like, well, everybody in my family 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.760 gets divorced. My mother and dad, they are guve and 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:56.840 fought all the time. Now my wife and I we 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.920 are given fight all the time. Or I'm negative, judgmental, 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.680 critical because the environment I was raised in. Know those 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:07.080 are wrong mindsets. The scripture says you are a new creation. 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.800 The old has been passed away. And we hear a 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:15.080 lot about generational curses today, and they are real. Things 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:20.120 can be passed down. Medical science tells us sicknesses and diseases, 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:24.280 even addictions and bad habits, they can be passed down 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:28.600 genetically through our blood, through our DNA. Now read where 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.920 if your father was an alcoholic, you have three times 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.160 the chance of becoming one as well. In the natural 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.240 there are genetics, things can be hereditary. But in the 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.920 spiritual realm it's a different story. And God is saying, 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.560 as long as the Sovereign Lord is alive and well 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.560 in your heart, you don't have to eat the sour grapes. 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:54.160 You've been redeemed. You're not under the curse anymore. You're 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:58.520 under the blessing. The old has passed away. When you 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.079 came to Christ, say into a new bloodline. And the 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.240 good news is there's no defeat in this new blood line. 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.280 There's no lack in this new blood line. There are 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:13.160 no addictions, no sickness, no mediocrity. Get a vision for 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.680 who you are. You are a child of the Most 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:19.880 High God. You have His royal blood flowing through your veins. 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:24.400 There is nothing in life that you cannot overcome. There 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:28.480 is no obstacle, no mediocrity, no addiction, no bad habit, 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:32.160 no sickness. You have everything you need right now on 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.240 the inside of you to fulfill your God given destiny. 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.599 But if this is going to happen, you've got to 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.040 rise up and start acting like it. You've got to 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.520 get rid of that weak, defeated mentality. You will never 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.319 live in victory as long as you're sitting around in 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:50.360 self pity, blame in the past, blaming your parents, blaming 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:54.120 your circumstances. No quit playing the blame game and step 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.280 up to the plate and deal with the things that 0:09:56.360 --> 0:10:00.319 are holding you back. I was talking to a the 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.199 other day. He said, Joel, I know I'm running my marriage. 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.760 I'm rude I'm disrespectful. I just say whatever I want. 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.679 I can't control my tempers, he said. The thing that 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.920 I dislike about it the most is I'm acting just 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.880 like my father. Growing up, my dad treated my mother 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:22.199 so rude, so disrespectfully, and I despise that about him. 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.480 But now, would you believe it, I've become just like him. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.719 That's what happens when we're complacent. That's what happens when 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.199 we're passive. We allow the generational curses to go from 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.240 one generation to the next. I told him what I'm 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.880 telling you. You don't have to eat the sour grapes. 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.360 You're more than a conquer you're an overcomer. But you've 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.440 got to dig your heels in and say enough is enough. 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.120 You will never change what you tolerate. You got to 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:50.880 get fed up with it and say, you know what, 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.400 I'm drawing the line in the sand. I'm not gonna 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.000 live like this anymore. I'm gonna make changes. I'm gonna 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.880 treat my family right, I'm gonna be kind, I'm gonna 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:02.679 walk in love. If you will do your part, be 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.319 disciplined to make good choices, God will help you to 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.839 overcome anything that's trying to hold you back. Now, I 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.199 want to stir you out of complacency. Don't learn to 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.320 live with things that are less than God's best. Don't 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:19.960 keep passing the junk down. Today can be a new beginning. 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.880 Today can be a turning point in your life. Even 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.280 with sicknesses, we know in the natural how things like 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:31.800 heart disease, diabetes, even depression can be passed from one 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:35.080 generation to the next. And you can't just sit back 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:40.080 and accept that complacency will always keep you in mediocrity. Now, 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.560 I'm not saying to deny it, act like it's not there. 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:47.240 I'm simply saying, don't let that determine your destiny. In 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.240 other words, my grandfather may have died from cancer. My 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.040 father may have died from that. But you know what, 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.520 it's a new day. I don't have to eat the grapes. 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.800 The buck is going to start with me. Medical science 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:01.880 even tells us peace. People that have a feisty spirit, 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:06.400 people that have an overcome and determined attitude, they recover 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.120 quicker than people that just sit back and accept things. 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.520 I heard somebody say, well, my arthritis has flared up 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.800 on me. My depression was really bad last week Listen, 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.160 you got to quit taking ownership of that junk. It's 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:22.079 not your arthritis, it's not your sickness, it's not your depression. 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:27.040 You are free, you are whole. You are a new creature, 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:31.160 a victor and not a victim. Really, a better way 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.360 to look at it is you're not a sick person 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:37.120 trying to get well. You're a well person standing against sickness. 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:41.240 And our attitude should be I walk in divine health. 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.920 Sickness cannot live in my body. It may try to 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.520 take up a temporary residence, but it's not going to 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.960 last forever. It didn't come to stay, it came to pass. Well, Joel, 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.160 what if I have to fight this sickness my whole lifetime. Listen, 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.280 I'd rather stand against it every day and know that 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.240 I died in faith than just sit back and accept 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.840 the life of mediocrity. We all have things to overcome, 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:10.440 we all have challenges. Let's don't make excuses and get complacent. 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.959 I found the first place we lose the battle is 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.719 in our own thinking. We have to have the right mindsets. 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.480 You may have been raised by people that were negative 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.079 or had addictions and bad habits, and now you struggle 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:25.960 with them, but you got to make up your mind. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.040 They are not going to last forever. You don't have 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.439 to eat the sour grapes. Get a new vision for 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.400 your life. Make a decision. You know what, this bad 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.360 habit is not gonna be with me my whole lifetime. 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.079 I'm not gonna deal with this sickness forever. I'm a 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.800 child of the most High God, and I'm coming up higher. 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.080 Some of you have struggled with your weight for years, 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.280 and you have tried and tried, and man, you just say, Joe, 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.440 it's too hard. I can't do it. It's in my genes. 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:53.640 Everybody in my family is like this. I don't have 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.040 what it takes. No quit talking like that. Don't speak 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.480 defeat over your life. You need to start saying every 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:03.320 day I can do all things through Christ. I have discipline, 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.640 I have self control. Get up every morning, look at 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.760 yourself in the mirror and say good morning, you good 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:14.719 looking thing. You got to call it by faith. Some 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.800 of you more than others. My brother Paul's been trying 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.680 this forty years. It's still hadn't help. You just got 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.200 to keep on keeping on. Every day. You need to 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:29.200 tell yourself, I weigh what I should weigh greater is 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.680 he this in me than he that's in the refrigerator. 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:37.520 I will fulfill my destiny. See God's verifying it right there. 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:46.560 I will accomplish my dreams. We have to have the 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.520 right mindsets. We got to have that can do. Mentality, 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.640 our attitude should be I'm coming up higher. I'm not 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.720 staying where I am. I'm growing, I'm increasing. I know 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.320 there are good things in store. I know the best 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.920 is still to come. Got to keep pressing forward, says 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:08.800 in Proverbs one thirty two. Complacency will destroy Being complacent 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.680 will steal the dreams out of your heart. Complacency will 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:17.440 ruin your relationships. Ultimately, complacency is going to keep you 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.880 from reaching your highest potential. And you may be at 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.800 a good place today and you're thinking, well, this isn't 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.040 for me. I don't have bad habits. I'm living an 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.640 okay life. But no, God always wants us to be growing. 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:33.360 And I've discovered that the good can be the enemy 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:37.200 of the best. Sometimes I can speak a pretty good message, 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.440 but you know what, I'm not satisfied. I want to 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.800 get better and better. I treat Victoria pretty good, but 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.240 I want to treat her better. I don't have any 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.640 major hang ups. Maybe you don't either, But we all 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:51.000 have areas where we can come up higher end. And 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.800 the danger is that we get comfortable. We sit back 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.480 and say, hey, this isn't a very bad place. I'm blessed. 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.680 I've achieved as much is most. I've gone pretty far. 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:05.000 But deep down in here, we know that God has 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.440 more in store. We know there are new mountains to climb. 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.240 We know there are dreams and goals that we should 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:15.360 be pursuing. Don't get stagnant. Some of you today are 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.840 living so far below your potential. You have so much 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:23.640 to offer, so much talent, so much creativity, so much 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:27.200 in you, but it keeps getting stifled because you won't 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.640 take that step of faith. You are satisfied where you are. 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.640 You just keep playing it safe. But you've got a 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.400 dare to step out of your comfort zone. You need 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:40.240 to start stretching yourself. God's trying to plant new seeds 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.360 in your heart today. It's trying to get you to 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.760 come up higher. I have a friend that had a 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:49.960 dream of becoming a pastor. He's a very fine young man, 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.920 very sharp, very talented, has so much going for him. 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:56.840 But growing up he had a serious problem with stuttering. 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.640 I mean he could hardly even get a sentence out. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.000 Hake him forever, and you could imagine what this did 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.680 for his confidence. Had very low self esteem, hardly look 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.560 in the eyes. And on top of that, at the school, 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.360 the children would make fun of him and tease him. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.840 That just made his stuttering worse. He turned inside, hardly 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.320 even say anything. He told how at the age of sixteen, 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.000 he was at this very respected speech school and the 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:27.159 leaders carried around a stopwatch and anytime a student got stuck, 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.800 they would time how long it took to say the 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.040 next word. That's the way they could keep up with 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.760 their progress. And on the first day at the school, 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.920 this young man got stuck on the word thee, and 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.920 it took him one minute in sixteen seconds to get 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.600 it out. I mean, he had a serious problem with stuttering, 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.760 and they'd tried all these different approaches, and he was 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:50.359 just so discouraged. He could have easily just settled right 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:53.080 where he was. He could have easily thought, too bad, 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.600 this is my lot in life. But I love what 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.080 he did. He said, God, people can't help me. But 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.320 I know you can't. I know you made my tongue. 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.600 I know you made my mind, and I'm asking you 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:09.359 to help me to speak clearly. I'm asking you to 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:13.200 help me to overcome. And he put actions behind his prayers. 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:17.560 The scripture says that faith without works is dead. He 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.040 got his Bible every day and he would get alan 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.840 where nobody could hear him, and he started quoting scriptures. 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.000 Sometimes it would take him five minutes just to get 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.920 one out. But he never gave up. He just kept 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:33.080 on keeping on doing his best, making the most with 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.760 what he had. He would quote things like Philippians four thirteen. 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.840 I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:45.040 I am more than a conquer No weapon formed against 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:49.560 me will ever prosper. He just kept pressing forward. Day 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.600 after day. He had to fight off all the negative 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.040 voices telling him you're never going to get better, you'll 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.440 never overcome. This is your destiny. He just shook that 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:02.280 junk aw. He said, no, I'm coming up higher. I'm 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.480 going to become all that God's created me to be. 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:08.280 And it didn't happen overnight, but little by little, day 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.560 after day, he got better and better and better. Now. 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.280 I saw him about this time last year and he 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.920 speaks as clearly and fluently as could be. You could 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.240 never even tell he had a problem. Do you know 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.920 what he's doing today. He's the pastor of a very 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:28.520 successful church. You think about that. He went from it 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:31.440 taken him a minute and sixteen seconds to say the 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:35.200 word THEE to speaking regularly in front of his congregation. 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:38.560 That's what happens when we don't get complacent. That's what 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.600 happens when we don't settle for the status quo. God 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.560 will take what the enemy means for your evil, and 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:47.240 he'll turn it around and use it to your advantage. 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:50.440 Don't get stagnant, don't give up on the dreams that 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:54.160 God has placed in your own heart. Like him, maybe 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.280 you can't do it in your own natural ability, but 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.719 remember you and God are a majority. Quit looking at 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.360 what you don't have, and start looking at what God 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:08.000 does have. All Moses had was a rod, but God 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:11.000 used it to part the Red sea. All David had 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:14.719 was a slingshot. God used it to defeat Goliath. All 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:16.800 one little boy had was a fish and a few 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:19.919 loaves of bread. God used that to feed the thousands. 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:22.960 Why don't you stop looking at what you're not and 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.360 start looking at who he is. He is el Shadai, 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:30.960 the God who is more than enough. He is Jehovah, Jirah, 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:35.520 the Lord, our provider. He said, when we are weak, 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:38.639 he is strong. When we come to the end of 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:43.159 our own natural ability, that's when God's supernatural ability kicks in. 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.280 You've got to get your eyes off of your circumstances, 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.879 get your eyes off of what you don't have. I 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:53.360 think about the woman at the well in John chapter four. 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.560 Jesus was there and he asked her for something to drink, 0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:00.520 and she was so surprised because back in those days 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.040 the Jews didn't have anything to do with the Samaritans. 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.680 And she said, how can you ask me for a drink? 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:09.600 And Jesus replied, ma'am, if you knew who I was, 0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:12.200 you'd ask me for a drink and I would give 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:16.240 you living water. And she immediately looked. In the natural 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:18.840 that's what we do most of the time. She said, 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:21.720 but sir, you don't have anything to draw the water with. 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.800 You don't have a pail, any kind of bucket, and 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:28.760 the wells very deep. How could you possibly do this? Now? 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.800 I wonder how many times God wants to do something 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.399 great in our lives. He puts a dream in our 0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:37.679 heart right down in here. We know that we're going 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:41.320 to rise higher. Something tells us we're going to be well, 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:43.760 we're going to break an addiction, We're going to get 0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:46.959 out of debt. We feel it so strongly. But then, 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.960 like her, we start looking at what we don't have 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.119 and how we were raised, and all the obstacles in 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:57.360 our path, and before long we talk ourselves out of it. Well, 0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:59.920 that would never happen for me. I don't have the edge, 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.240 I don't have the talent, I don't have the money, 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:05.280 I don't have the discipline. Joel, I could never break 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:08.920 this bad habit. I could never accomplish my dreams. No, 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:11.480 you've got to quit looking at what you don't have. 0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:16.240 When you believe, all things become possible. If you will 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:19.359 just stay in faith and keep doing your very best. 0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:23.159 God promises at the right time, he will bring it 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:25.719 to pass. I know when we were trying to get 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:29.080 our new facility here, the compact center in the natural, 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:33.000 it looked totally impossible. All the odds were against us. 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:35.760 But we too had to quit looking at what we 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:38.879 didn't have. We had to quit dwelling on all the 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:42.160 negative reports. We had to quit reading what the experts 0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:45.680 were saying. Too often we just look in the natural. 0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:50.040 We need to remember God is a supernatural god. And 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:52.240 the easy thing for us to do back then was 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:55.240 to just stay at our other location. After all, we 0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:58.840 had a big church, it was paid for, we were comfortable. 0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:01.840 We could have stayed there and just coast it. But no, 0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:05.480 God never wants us to get stagnant. And please understand, 0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:08.320 no matter where you are in life, God has more 0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:11.359 in store. And if you're not putting any demands on 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:15.560 your faith, most likely you're not growing. If you know 0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:18.640 how you can accomplish everything just in your own natural ability. 0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:22.159 Really you don't need God to intervene. But if you 0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:24.600 want to see God take your places you've never dreamed of, 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:27.800 if you want to see Him work supernaturally in your life, 0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:30.520 then you've got to do like Peter and get out 0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:32.479 of the boat. You've got to get out of your 0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:35.800 comfort zone and start doing what you know God's leading 0:23:35.840 --> 0:23:38.280 you to do down in here. And I'm not talking 0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:41.600 about making foolish decisions, but some of you know in 0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:43.920 your heart you need to put your name in for 0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:46.560 that new position at the office. You can do what 0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:50.320 you do every day in your sleep. You're not being stretched, 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:54.399 you're not growing, You've gotten comfortable. It's easy. God doesn't 0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:56.760 want you to stay there. You have so much more 0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.800 to offer. Dare to take the next step of faith. 0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.160 I was talking to a good friend last week. He's 0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:06.040 in the medical field, very successful, and he said, Joel, 0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:09.600 something is stirring on the inside. I feel like I 0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:14.240 should be teaching people God's word, mentoring them, training them. 0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:17.280 But I've never done that. I don't know if i'd 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:18.960 be good at it. I don't know if I have 0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:21.440 what it takes, but I just can't get away from it. 0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:24.520 I told him what I'm telling you, Quit looking at 0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:27.320 what you don't have. Take the step of faith, and 0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:30.399 you'll find out what you do have. I know I 0:24:30.440 --> 0:24:33.080 wouldn't be standing up here today if I didn't do 0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:35.480 just what I'm asking you to do. Most of you 0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:37.760 know my story how my father tried to get me 0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:41.000 up here a thousands of times to minister. But listen, 0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:43.720 I'd never do it. I'd rather clean my attic in 0:24:43.800 --> 0:24:45.720 the heat of the summer than have had to get 0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:48.200 up in front of people. But when Daddy went to 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:50.560 be with the Lord right down in here. I knew that. 0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:52.520 I knew that I was supposed to step up and 0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:55.680 pastor this church. And I said, God, I'm not looking 0:24:55.840 --> 0:24:59.040 at what I don't have. I don't have a seminary education, 0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:01.840 I have a lot of formal training. I don't have 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:05.520 a lot of experience. I'd only spoken one time. I said, God, 0:25:05.560 --> 0:25:07.480 I'm not looking at that. I'm looking at what you 0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:10.960 do have. I know in my weakness you will show 0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:14.920 up the strongest. And so I took that step of 0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:17.920 faith seven and a half years ago, and God's taking 0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:20.600 me places that I've never dreamed of. He'll do the 0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:23.399 same thing for every one of you. Don't get stagnant, 0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:27.920 don't get complacent in your marriage, in your attitude, in 0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:31.440 your career. And I say this respectfully, but you can't 0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:33.560 dwell on what all the experts are saying about you. 0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:36.760 You can't sit around at home all day long thinking 0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:40.640 about how impossible your situation is. Turn it over to God. 0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:44.320 With men, it may be impossible, but with God, all 0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:48.280 things are possible. I think about a little bumblebee. All 0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:52.680 the laws of physics say a bumblebee cannot fly. Its 0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:55.840 body is too heavy for its wings. It doesn't have 0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:58.800 a big enough wings span to support the weight of 0:25:58.880 --> 0:26:04.520 the body. Years scientists, engineers, and experts in the field 0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:08.359 of aerodynamics, they have studied the bumblebee and their final 0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:12.040 conclusion is it should not be able to fly. But 0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:15.200 do you know why the bumblebee flies? Because God told 0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:20.000 the bumblebee to fly. And God is a supernatural god. 0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:23.919 He's not limited to the laws of nature. He can 0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:27.600 do what men can't do. Why don't you quit focusing 0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:30.840 on how big your problems are and start focusing on 0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:34.040 how big your God is. He created the whole universe. 0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:37.280 There's nothing too difficult for him. And when God puts 0:26:37.320 --> 0:26:40.000 a dream in your heart in the natural, it may 0:26:40.080 --> 0:26:43.399 look impossible. Every voice may tell you it's never going 0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:46.159 to happen. You're never going to get well, you're never 0:26:46.240 --> 0:26:48.720 going to break that addiction, you're never going to accomplish 0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:51.240 your dreams. But if you can just learn to shake 0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:54.440 that junk off and stay in faith, get up every 0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:58.200 day expecting good things, then just like that bumblebee, you 0:26:58.280 --> 0:27:01.760 will defy the odds and it come to pass. A 0:27:01.840 --> 0:27:04.200 couple of months ago, I was talking to a friend. 0:27:04.640 --> 0:27:08.840 He's a famous tightrope walker. He comes from seven generations 0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:12.560 of entertainers. They're in the circus, and I ask him, 0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:15.600 what's the key to walking on the tightrope. I mean, 0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:18.080 he makes it look so easy, he said, Joel, the 0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:21.600 secret is you always have to keep your eyes fixed 0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:25.320 on where you're going. You can never look down, he said. 0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:28.520 If you look down, where your head goes, your body 0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:30.280 will go. There's a good chance you're going to fall. 0:27:30.600 --> 0:27:33.639 So you always have to keep your eyes focused on 0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:36.320 where you want to be. I thought, that's the same 0:27:36.400 --> 0:27:40.200 principle in life. Some people are always looking back, focused 0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:43.119 on their hurts and pains, how they were raised, blaming 0:27:43.200 --> 0:27:46.080 their parents. Other people are just focused on where they 0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:50.199 are right now in self pity, been through disappointments. Life's 0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:53.800 not fair. But the key to not getting stagnant is 0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:56.080 you have to stay focused on where you want to be. 0:27:56.520 --> 0:27:59.440 In other words, dream big dreams. Let the past be 0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:02.600 the past. Don't stay focused on where you are. Look 0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:05.960 out through your eyes of faith and see yourself rising higher. 0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:11.840 Accomplish in your dreams, breaking bad habits, fulfilling your destiny. Friends, 0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:15.159 you can live in victory. You can become all God's 0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:18.560 created you to be. Stir your faith up today. Don't 0:28:18.600 --> 0:28:22.240 settle for mediocrity, don't settle for the status quo. Let 0:28:22.359 --> 0:28:25.600 this day be a time of new beginnings. Every one 0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:28.080 of us can come up higher. And if you ask God, 0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:30.520 he will show you areas that are holding you back. 0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:36.080 Wrong mindsets, fear of failure, complacency, Be willing to change, 0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:39.800 don't make excuses. Remember you don't have to eat the 0:28:39.920 --> 0:28:43.040 sour grapes. As long as the Sovereign Lord is alive 0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:45.920 in you, good things are in store. You're not under 0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:48.400 the curse, You're under the blessing. The best is still 0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:51.600 yet to come. If you'll just shake off the complacency 0:28:51.920 --> 0:28:54.880 and start pressing forward in life, stepping out of your 0:28:54.920 --> 0:28:58.720 comfort zone, stretching yourself. I know this, God will open 0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:00.920 up doors for you that no man can shut. And 0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:03.360 you'll break bondages that have held you back for years, 0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:06.640 and you'll live the life of victory He has in story. Amen, 0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:07.520 do you receive it? 0:29:08.480 --> 0:29:09.040 I know you do. 0:29:10.200 --> 0:29:13.120 We never like to close our broadcast without giving you 0:29:13.200 --> 0:29:15.920 an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:20.720 Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll 0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:25.480 repent of my sins, Come into my heart. I'll make 0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:29.040 you my lord and savior.
