I promise you we'll make you feel right 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.280 at home. But thanks so much for tuning in. And 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.160 I like to get started each week with something kind 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.280 of funny. And I heard about this woman that surprised 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.880 a burglar in her kitchen one night. She was alone 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:20.919 and unarmed, and she didn't really know what to do, 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.880 so she thought she would just shout a Scripture verse 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.120 at him, and so she shouted out Acts two thirty eight. 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.880 The burglar suddenly froze in his tracks. The police soon arrived, 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.200 and they were amazed at how a woman with no 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.760 weapon could do this, And they asked the burglar, what 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.400 was it about that Scripture verse that had such an 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.760 effect on you? He said, scripture? What scripture? I thought? 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.000 She said, she had an axe in two thirty eighths. 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.440 All right, hold your Bible up, say it like you 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.520 mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.200 says I am. I have what it says I have. 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.560 I can do what it says I can do. Today 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:02.160 I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.640 My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I'll never 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:11.320 be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:15.000 want to talk to you today about reaching your highest potential. 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.200 It's easy to get stuck in life where we think 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.000 we've reached our limits. We've gone as far in our 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.000 career as we can go will never be any more talented, 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:28.200 never rise any higher. But that's very untrue. As long 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.760 as you're breathing, you have potential that you've not yet 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.600 tapped into. There are gifts and talents that you've not 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.520 yet discovered. You can go further in your career. You 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.680 can rise higher than you are. There is a hidden 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:47.360 treasure that's buried on the inside. When God created you, 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.080 he not only breathed his life into you, but he 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:55.080 deposited a part of himself into you. He put in 0:03:55.120 --> 0:04:00.000 you everything you need to fulfill your destiny on the inside. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.080 Right now, you have seeds of greatness just waiting to 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.160 take root and blossom. And if we're going to tap 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:11.880 into this hidden treasure, we have to have a pioneering spirit. 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.320 You can go where no one in your family has 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.719 ever gone. You can accomplish things that you once thought 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.960 were impossible. You have talent and ability that has not 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.359 yet come out to the full. My challenge to you 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:31.200 today is don't die with the treasure still buried. Your 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:35.040 gift to yourself and your gift to this world is 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.800 to release the treasure that's been locked up on the inside. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.720 And I found that God always puts bigger things in 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.800 our spirit than we think we can accomplish in our 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.400 own ability. That's how He stretches us. So don't be 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.680 surprised if you don't feel like you're qualified, you don't 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.240 feel like you're able to do it. That's okay. You 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.560 may not feel like you're able to. But when you 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.599 take that step of faith, God will give you strength, 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.800 He'll give you ability, He'll give you favor. That's when 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.120 the treasure will begin to be released. I believe in 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.760 the coming days, God's going to present us with new 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.480 and exciting opportunities. Some of you are going to be 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.800 offered a new position at work in the natural. It's 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.360 gonna seem like it's over your head. You'll be tempted 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.960 to shrink back and think, I can't do that. I'm 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.480 not experienced enough, I don't have the education. But no, 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.160 it may be over your head. But the good news 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:33.200 is it's not over God's head. He's already deposited in 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:37.960 you exactly what you need. God wouldn't have brought the opportunity, 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.960 He wouldn't have given you the desire if you didn't 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.200 already have what it takes. If you will rise up 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.840 in faith with boldness with confidence. Knowing that you are 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.880 well able, you'll begin to see new gifts, new talents, 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.320 new strengths, new ability. They'll begin to come forth. They're 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.760 in you. You've just got to work with God to 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.440 get them out. Some of you are to have an 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:04.200 opportunity to go back to school, an opportunity to start 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:08.359 your own business, or maybe even to change careers. And 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.880 the easy thing to do is just sit back and 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.920 stay where you are, play it safe and be comfortable. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.640 But if you're going to tap into this hidden treasure, 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.960 you've got to be willing to go where you've never 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.920 gone before. If you want to walk on water, you've 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.920 got to get out of the boat. It's interesting when 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.960 Peter walked on the water, there were other disciples in 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.400 the boat. Those other men had the same potential to 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.920 walk on the water. Why was Peter the only one 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.200 that did it. Peter was the only one willing to 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.600 get out of his comfort zone and try something that 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.320 he had never tried before. He was the only one, 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:48.640 so to speak, to release his potential. You have the 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:52.800 potential in you right now for every opportunity that God 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.359 brings across your path. But you've got to do like 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.520 Peter and get out of your safe zone and get 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.279 over into the faith zone. That's where you know you 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:05.039 need God's help. That's where you're stretching yourself and you're 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.560 putting a demand on your potential. This is what I 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.800 did when my father went to be with the Lord. 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.480 It was nine years ago this week now. I never 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.000 dreamed I could do this. I didn't think this was 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.200 in me. I liked being behind the scenes. I did 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:23.400 that for seventeen years. My personality really is more quiet 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.760 and reserved. I told my father a thousand times, Daddy, 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:28.760 I'm not a minister. It's just not in me. 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:30.160 But when my. 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.600 Father died, all of a sudden, I had a desire 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.480 and I knew that. I knew I was supposed to 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.440 step up and pastor the church. But in the natural 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.800 didn't make a lot of sense to me. I didn't 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.880 feel qualified, I didn't feel like I had the experience. 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.640 But deep down I believed this was a part of 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.000 my God given destiny. So I took that step of faith, 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.600 and little by little I discovered a gift, a talent 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.680 buried on the inside, just waiting to come out. I 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:06.000 wonder how many people I wonder how many people die 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:10.040 with the treasure still in them. They let their fears, 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.640 their insecurities, their lack of confidence to keep them from 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.000 stepping out. Don't let that be you. You have so 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.920 much more in you, more than you realize. You can 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.520 rise higher than you think. You have talent that's not 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.640 yet been fully developed. You have gifts that you've not 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.560 yet discovered. If you will rise up in confidence and 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:35.800 take advantage of your God given opportunities, you'll be amazed 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.880 at what you accomplish. You'll look back one day like 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.440 I do now and say, man, I can't believe I 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.400 can do this. I didn't even know it was in me. 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.880 That's the way God is. He wants to amaze you 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.840 with his goodness. He wants to take your places that 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.760 you've never thought possible. Don't get satisfied where you are. 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.360 Don't get too comfortable to where you think, well, I'm 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.880 doing pretty good in life, Joel. I've gone as far 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.199 my parents gone, as far as my grandparents know. God 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:07.040 wants you to go further. He wants every generation to increase. 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.199 This is your year to do something that you've never 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.320 done before. This is your year to stretch your faith 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.560 in Joshua, chapter three, verse four. God had been leading 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.400 the people of Israel, and he made this one statement. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:25.040 You have not passed this way before. I believe God 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.040 is saying that to each one of us. New seasons 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.760 are on the horizon, New opportunities are coming your way. 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.160 This is your year to go beyond the barriers of 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.600 the past. This is your year to release your potential 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.839 by stepping into uncharted territories. And you may have had 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.000 some great victories in the past, but let me tell you, 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:50.320 you haven't seen anything yet. God never performs his greatest 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.800 feats in our yesterdays. They are still in our future. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.760 There to believe there, to take some steps of faith, 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:00.240 you say, Joel, I don't know if this is from 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.320 me today. I'm just to stay at home mom. I'm 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.160 just a student, I'm just a carpenter. I'm just a 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:10.240 business person. No, you're not just anything. You're a child 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.920 of the Most High God, and on the inside of 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:17.440 you you are full of unlimited possibilities. You have not 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:21.200 tapped into everything that's in you. You have not seen 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:25.120 your best days in your career, in your finances, in 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:29.000 your relationships. Why don't you enlarge your vision? Why don't 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.800 you believe that you do have what it takes when 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.840 these opportunities arise. Have the attitude I know who I am. 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:41.160 I'm anointed, I'm equipped, I'm empowered, I'm talented, I'm creative. 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.240 No obstacle is too high, no challenge is too difficult, 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.720 no enemy is too powerful. I am well able to 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.120 do what God has called me to do. You've got 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.680 to have that pioneering spirit. Be willing to go into 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:59.959 uncharted territories. Don't get complacent. Take on things that stretch you, 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.600 things that you've never done before. I was reading about 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:07.400 this college professor at a major university. He was in 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.840 class about to pass out the final exam, the most 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:14.080 important test of the year. But before he did, he 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.520 told his students how proud he was of them, and 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.920 how disciplined they had been, and how they had just 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.720 worked so hard, and since they had done so well, 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.400 he made them a special offer. He said, anyone that 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.400 would like to get an automatic C on this test, 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:31.679 just raise your hand and you don't even have to 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.480 take the test. I'll just give you a C. One 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:38.680 hand went up, another another, until about half of the 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.640 class had opted out of taking the test, and they 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.320 just got the automatic seed. They were so happy they 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.920 left there full of joy. He went on to pass 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:48.960 out the test to the rest of the students. He 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.920 placed it face down on their desk, asked them not 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.719 to turn it over until he instructed them to do so. 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.200 And for the next few minutes he really encouraged them 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.000 and told them how they were going to do great 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.760 things in life, on and on. Then he gave them 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.679 the ok to turn the test over and begin well. 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:09.800 The test just had two short sentences. It read congratulations, 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:15.559 you just made an a But this is what we 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.760 do many times in life. We just settle where we 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:23.480 are instead of stretching, instead of believing, instead of really 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.640 developing our potential, we sit back and say, hey, a 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.080 sea's not so bad. I'm doing okay in my career. 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.360 I'm doing good enough, maybe so, But you have more 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.959 in you. Don't take the easy way out. Keep growing, 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:41.200 keep learning, stir up the gifts that are on the inside. 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.640 You have to put a demand on your potential. That's 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.160 the only way it'll be released. I remember when I 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.280 was growing up, our next door neighbor had a big 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.920 german shepherd in their backyard, and even though their yard 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.640 was fenced off. They usually kept him on a leash. 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.400 And one day, when I was about eight or nine 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.360 years old, I was in my backyard playing baseball with 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.439 some friends and the ball went over into their yard 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:07.880 and I didn't think much about it. I'd been over 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.480 there plenty of times, never had a problem, and so 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.720 I got a small ladder to help me get over 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.440 the fence. It was a six foot fence, and I 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.600 went over there and I picked up the ball, and 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:21.480 when I did, that dog came charging toward me ninety 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.120 miles per hour. For some reason, he was not on 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.400 the leash this day, and my heart sunk. I thought 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.959 I was good as dead. I turned around and took off, 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.400 running toward our fence as fast as I could, like 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.319 my life depended on it. When I got there, all 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.360 in one motion, I grabbed the top of the fence 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.120 with one hand and I jumped as high as I could, 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.880 and somehow I made it over that fence. I mean, 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.720 I was just a little boy, and I practically jumped 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:53.040 over a six foot fence. I don't believe that phrase anymore. 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:58.800 White men can't jump. I jumped that day, I promise you. 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:04.480 I jumped. What's my point that dog helped me to 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:09.760 discover potential that I never knew I have. I had 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.200 never jumped that high before. Fact is, I have never 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:17.000 jumped that high sense because I'm glad to know at 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.840 least it's in me. That's what happens. When you put 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:24.040 a demand on your potential, it comes out. You'll be 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.280 amazed at what you can do when you put yourselves 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.160 in situations where you need it. It's like this guy 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.880 I heard about. He was walking home late at night, 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.320 decided to take a short cut through the cemetery. What 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.480 he didn't know is they had dug a great, big 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.040 hole earlier that day, and he didn't see it, and 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.560 he accidentally fell down in it. He tried and tried 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.200 to get out, but it was too deep. He kicked 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:51.120 and screamed and hollered and called for people, but no success. 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.600 After about two hours, he finally just gave up, sat 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.880 down on the side, knew he'd have to wait till morning. Well, 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.840 a few hours later, an old drunk man came stumbling along, 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:05.000 and sure enough, he fell into the same hall. He 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.000 didn't see the man sitting over there, and he just 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:11.000 stayed quiet, and this drunk man screamed, hollered, kick did 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.320 the same thing, on and on, trying to grab, kept 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:17.160 falling back down and again no success. The guy sitting 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.680 down decided to have some fun with him. He said, 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:23.320 in a deep, scary voice, you'll never get out of here. 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:30.560 You know what's interesting, he did. You know you can 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.360 do a whole lot when you put a demand on 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:38.160 your potential. I want you to have a new boldness today, 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:42.920 a new confidence. You are full of possibility. Don't you 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.320 dare sit around thinking about what you can't do well. 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.200 I could never be in management. I could never speak 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.680 in public, Joel. I could never get over that fence 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.800 like you could. I bet you could. If you saw 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.360 that dog chasing you, you would discover things in you 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.920 you never knew you had. And God just trying to 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.360 plant new seeds in your heart today. You got to 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:07.120 enlarge your vision, believe that you do have what it takes. 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:12.000 I pray every day God stretch me, give me new opportunities, 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.640 help me to grow when they come. I do my 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.880 best to take that step of faith. But it's easy 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.000 to get comfortable. It's easy to settle where we are 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.440 just kind of think, Hey, I'm doing as good as 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.080 anybody else in my family. I'm doing as good as 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.880 my friends. No, you're not competing against them. You should 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.600 compete against your own self. You know when you're stretching, 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.040 you know when you're pushing yourself. Don't wait for the 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.760 dog to come chasing you before you convince yourself to jump. 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.800 Stir up your gifts. On the inside. God's saying, I'm 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.120 going to take you somewhere that you've never been before. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.280 I'm going to open up new opportunities. I'm going to 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:54.240 give you new ways to increase. Are you prepared, then, 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.120 you say, Joel, I'm not that talented. I could never 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:01.080 lead my company in cells. Who told you that the 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.960 creator of the universe says you have everything you need 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:08.880 to succeed, Well, I could never go further in my career. 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:13.440 I don't have the education. Who says, Almighty God has 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.840 deposited a part of himself into you. Well, I tried 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.280 once and failed. It didn't work out. Try again. It's 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:22.680 still in you. You can overcome every obstacle. You can 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.040 fulfill every dream. You are anointed, you are equipped, you 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:29.960 are empowered. This is your season to come up higher. Now. 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.199 I believe the hidden Treasure that's been buried in you, 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:37.280 maybe even for years. God's about to release. He's going 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:41.399 to give you new opportunities to draw that potential out. 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.760 What I'm saying today is get ready, be a pioneer. 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:50.080 Be willing to go into uncharted territories. May be something 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.840 that looks so big to you, you think, how could 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.080 I do this? This doesn't seem possible. That's okay. The 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.920 scripture says it's not by our mind, not by our power, 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:04.359 or one translation says it's by the breath of Almighty God. 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.640 That simply means God's going to breathe in your direction. 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:10.440 You take that step of faith and do what you 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.400 know God's put in your heart, and he'll breathe favor, 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:17.600 he'll breathe wisdom, he'll breathe ability. Really, you don't have 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:19.879 to worry about it. You don't have to know how 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.200 it's all going to happen. All you've got to do 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.440 is stay in faith and keep being your best day 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:29.000 in and day out. You and God are a majority. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.959 You have not seen your best days. If you're in cells, 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.920 you haven't seen your best year in sales just yet. 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.040 It's still in your future. If you're a teacher, you 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.000 haven't taught your best lesson yet. If you're an athlete, 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.680 you hadn't played your best game yet. New seasons are 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.679 on their way. God's about to launch you into a 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.800 new dimension. Potential is going to be released in you 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.639 that you never even knew you had. You have not 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.640 passed this way before. But you've got to do your 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:01.479 part when these opportunities arise. You can't shrink back and think, oh, 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.439 I can't do this, this is too much for me. No, 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:06.720 it may be too much for you, but it's not 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:09.959 too much for our God. Dare to believe, and you 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:13.080 can't let people talk you out of what you feel 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.880 on the inside. One of the best things I've ever 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:19.320 learned is other people don't have to believe in my 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.760 dream for it to come to pass. Everybody's not going 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.399 to agree with you. There will always be naysayers, people 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:28.920 telling you things like you really think you can take 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.960 that new position, you really think you're qualified to be 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.159 in management, you really think you have what it takes. 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:36.399 Just tell them I don't think so. I know so. 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.800 I'm a child of the most High God. I'm filled 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:43.359 with seeds of greatness, and I know God would not 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:46.440 have given me this opportunity if he had not already 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:50.959 equipped and empowered me. So I'm headed into uncharted territories. 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.480 I'm going where I haven't been before. I really believe 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.760 that God doesn't want our lives to be stagnant, and 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:02.520 that's why he constantly gives a opportunities to stretch our faith, 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.679 opportunities that put a demand on our potential. So it 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.720 won't just lie there dormant. We should have a goal 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:12.800 that we're not going to die with any treasure left 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:16.840 on the inside. Let's live full so we can die empty. 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:20.359 That means all of our potential has been spent. In 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.919 the Old Testament, when Moses died after leading the people 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:28.560 many years, God raised up Joshua. Joshua wasn't sure if 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:30.440 he could do it. He didn't know if he was 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:34.560 really qualified. He faced the same fears and insecurities that 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:38.199 we face today. But God said to him, Joshua, be 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:42.439 strong and courageous. You know what God was doing. He 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:46.400 was calling out the courage that he had already deposited 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.800 into Joshua. He knew Joshua was well able. He knew 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:53.040 he could do it. After all, he's the one that 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:56.040 put it in him. He simply had to get Joshua 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:59.120 to get in agreement, and so God called it out. 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:04.000 Be strong, be courageous. God went on to tell him Joshua, 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.760 as I was with Moses, I will be with you 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.280 when my father went to be with the Lord. That 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.240 was one of my favorite scriptures. At times, I didn't 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:15.159 know if I could do this. I didn't know if 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:18.760 I felt qualified. But I just remind myself, as God 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:21.840 was with my father all those years, He's with me 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:24.800 right now. And I just started calling it out of me. 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:29.480 I would say, I am strong, I'm annoyed, I'm talented, 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:33.880 I'm creative. People like me, I'm well able to do 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:36.639 what God's called me to do. You got to call 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:39.920 out the good things that God's put in you. Call 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:45.160 out strength, call out excellence, call out favor, call out determination. 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:47.720 It's in you, but you got to call it out. 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:52.480 I'd go around reminding myself God's breathing in my direction. 0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:55.199 Those that are for me are greater than those that 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:58.000 are against me. This may be over my head, but 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:01.600 it's not over God's head. Conceived it on the inside. 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:04.840 Now I'm seeing it come to pass on the outside. Well, 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:08.960 what are you calling out over your life, over your future. Hell, Joel, 0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:11.080 I think I've reached my limits and I don't think 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:13.159 I'll ever get out of this problem, and I just 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:16.960 never get any good breaks. No, you're calling out defeat, failed, 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.920 your mediocrity. You need to start saying, I am strong, 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:23.640 I am blessed, I have the favor of God. Whatever 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:27.320 I touch prospers and succeed. Get your thoughts going in 0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:31.159 the right direction. Now. I found that many times, in 0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:35.120 our heart we believe we can rise higher. In our heart, 0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:38.040 we believe we can stretch to a new level and 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:41.200 do things that we've never done before. But it's our 0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:43.639 mind that tries to talk us out of it. Our 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:46.560 natural mind will tell us things like, you can't take 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:49.359 that promotion, you're not qualified. You're gonna get there and 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:51.840 look like a fool. Or you can't get into that 0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:54.640 new relationship. You've been hurt before, you're going to get 0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:57.879 hurt again. You can't be a ministry leader. You're too shy, 0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.199 you won't know what to say. Our mind tries to 0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:03.800 talk us out of what our heart knows, and the 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:08.000 scripture says if any two of you agree, it creates 0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:11.400 an atmosphere for things to happen. And I know technically 0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:14.359 that means getting another person to agree with you, But 0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:18.360 I believe if you'll simply get your mind to agree 0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:22.000 with your heart, and you come into agreement with yourself, 0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:25.639 then God can do great things. After all, sometimes you 0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:29.560 can't find anybody to agree with you. Your friends won't encourage you, 0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:31.840 your family members may not think you have what it takes. 0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:35.960 That's okay. If you'll come into agreement with yourself, you 0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:39.840 and God are a majority. As God was with Moses, 0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:43.199 he will be with you. And if we're going to 0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:47.760 head into these uncharted territories, we can't dwell on all 0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:50.880 the what is? What if I take this new position 0:23:51.040 --> 0:23:54.399 and fail? What if you take it and succeed? What 0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:57.119 if I change jobs and I don't make any new friends, Joel? 0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:59.640 What if you change jobs and you make better friends 0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:02.359 and you've before well? What if I take that course 0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:04.400 at night it doesn't do me any good. What if 0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:06.199 you take it and it propels you to a new 0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:09.359 level You're never going to know unless you try. And 0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:12.440 if you're waiting for all your circumstances and all your 0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:15.840 friends and family to get behind you before you decide 0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:18.960 to take steps of faith, you will never develop your 0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:22.160 full potential. And it's great when people are behind us, 0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:25.760 but even if they're not, if you'll come into agreement 0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:29.359 with yourself and just say, God, I know you brought 0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:32.520 this opportunity across my path, and I'm not gonna dwell 0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:35.160 on the what ifs. I'm not gonna shrink back in fear. 0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:38.320 I'm gonna be bold. I'm gonna be strong because I 0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:41.119 know you are right here with me. I was reading 0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:44.480 about a gentleman that had a desire to start a magazine. 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:48.800 His dream was to have a small, pocket sized magazine 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:52.320 full of inspirational stories that people could carry around with 0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:55.760 them and read throughout the week. But everybody told them 0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:59.040 that it wouldn't work. They said people don't want inspiration, 0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:03.320 they want news. They won't entertainment. They told how that 0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:07.040 small size would never sell. It was different. He was 0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:10.800 out of the box. He was into uncharted territories. Even 0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:15.000 the famous publisher William Randolph Hurst tried to discourage him 0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:17.920 and tell him that it would never happen. But this gentleman, 0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:21.560 he just politely plugged his ears full of cotton and 0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:26.240 published his magazine anyway. He had collected thousands of stories 0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:29.199 leading up to that time. He was prepared, and he 0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:32.320 started off by printing just a few hundred copies. It 0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:36.000 grew to a few thousand, then more and more and more. 0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:40.680 Today Reader's Digest has over one hundred million readers. It's 0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:44.040 one of the great success stories of our times. Now. 0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:48.400 I love the fact this man went into uncharted territories. 0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:50.879 He didn't let people talk him out of his dream. 0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:54.400 He came into agreement with himself, and he saw God 0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:57.439 do more than he could even ask or think. And 0:25:57.520 --> 0:25:59.679 I know some of you, we all at times have 0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:03.080 tried and failed. He hit some obstacles. It didn't work out, 0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:05.280 So you've got to get back up and go again. 0:26:05.640 --> 0:26:08.639 It's not over until God says it's over. You still 0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:11.800 have the potential on the inside. I was watching the 0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:15.160 football playoffs the other night. It's a really great game. 0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:18.080 The score was going back and forth, and in the 0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:21.120 second half the field goal kicker for the New York 0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:25.000 Giants twice had an opportunity to win the game by 0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:28.639 kicking a field goal. The distance was easily makeable. I mean, 0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:31.240 it wasn't that far, not for a professional kicker, but 0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:34.240 both times he missed, And I mean, it's a big 0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:36.800 deal to miss once in professional football, but in a 0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:40.000 playoff game to miss twice in one half is really 0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:43.280 something else. And the coach was just beside himself. Well, 0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:46.440 the game went into overtime. The Giants got the ball back. 0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:48.760 They were marching down the field trying to score a 0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:52.200 touchdown first one that scores wins in overtime, but once 0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:55.479 again they got stopped. It was fourth down and the 0:26:55.480 --> 0:26:58.080 coach had to make a decision. Was he going to 0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:01.280 let him attempt another field goal, this one would be 0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:04.000 further than the two he had already missed, or was 0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:05.720 he just going to punk the ball away? And the 0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:08.359 coach was just debating on the sideline. Only has like 0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:10.840 twenty thirty seconds to make a decision. So he looked 0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:13.160 up and down the sideline to see what the kicker thought. 0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:16.560 He couldn't find him anywhere. Finally he looked on the field. 0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:20.280 The kicker was already lined up in position ready to 0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:24.040 kick the field goal. The coach said, when he saw 0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:27.560 the confidence and determination of that young man, that made 0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:30.360 his decision to let him attempt it, and this time, 0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:32.919 even though it was further, he stepped up kicked it 0:27:32.960 --> 0:27:35.560 straight through the uprights, won the game for the Giants. 0:27:36.400 --> 0:27:39.359 You may have missed a couple times in life, maybe 0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:42.399 a couple hundred times. We all have. But my question 0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:44.959 to you is are you running back on the field. 0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:47.560 Do you still know like this young man that you've 0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:52.159 got it on the inside. Don't let your mistakes, your disappointments, 0:27:52.200 --> 0:27:56.040 life's failures to keep you from pressing forward. The potential 0:27:56.400 --> 0:27:58.959 is still in you. You were well able to do 0:27:59.000 --> 0:28:00.120 what God has called you to do. 0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:00.720 Now. 0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:04.400 I believe in the coming days you're gonna have opportunities 0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:08.040 to release your potential in greater ways than you've ever 0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:11.359 seen before. Don't pass it by, don't take a sea. 0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:13.679 That's okay, but you were made for more than that. 0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:17.639 As long as you're breathing, you've got more on the inside. 0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:21.520 You can rise higher than you are. It may seem impossible, 0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:24.640 but as God was with Moses, he will be with you. 0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:27.960 Don't die with your treasure still buried. Get out of 0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:30.879 your safe zone and get over into the faith zone. 0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:35.320 And just as God called strength and courage out of Joshua, 0:28:35.800 --> 0:28:39.160 I'm calling strength out of you. I'm calling courage out 0:28:39.160 --> 0:28:42.600 of you. I'm speaking to every gift, every talent. I'm 0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:46.360 just calling them forth, not halfway, not three fourths of 0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:49.560 the way. But I declare that your potential is gonna 0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:52.680 be released to the full. You're gonna go places you 0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:57.080 never thought possible. You're gonna discover gifts and talents that 0:28:57.160 --> 0:29:00.320 you never even knew you had. So put your shoulder back, 0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:03.800 carry yourself with confidence. Your children are the most high God. 0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:06.440 If you'll be bold and dare to take these steps 0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:10.040 of faith, God's gonna breathe in your direction. You're gonna 0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:13.760 go into uncharted territories. You're gonna accomplish more than you 0:29:13.800 --> 0:29:16.360 ever even thought possible.
