I like to start with something. 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.440 Funny, and I heard about this kindergarten teacher. She was 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.880 trying to explain to her students about self esteem. She 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.720 said to her class, anyone who feels like you're dumb, 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.480 please stand up. She didn't think anyone would stand, and 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.320 she'd make the point how no one is dumb. 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.880 About that time, little Johnny stood up. I don't know 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:26.040 now what am I gonna do? 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.000 She said, Now, Johnny, do you really feel like you're dumb? 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:30.320 He said no, ma'am. 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.120 I just hate to see you standing there, oh by yourself. 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.520 Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:39.400 I am what it says. I am. 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.240 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.960 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.959 talked to word of God. I boldly confess my mind 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.360 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:57.600 the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:02.000 to talk to you today about refusing negative seeds. We 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.520 all have voices that are trying to keep us from 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:08.160 our destiny, and sometimes it's people telling us what we 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.679 can't become and how we're not going to accomplish the dream. 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.520 It may be experts. They have all the training, all 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.480 the skills. They're telling us the facts. Medical science says 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.560 you're not going to get well or you don't have 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:25.800 the qualifications for this position. You watch the news and 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.760 you hear all the comments about the economy and inflation. 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.880 Division viruses. This can bring fear and worrying what's going 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.880 to happen. Words are like seeds. 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.040 If you dwell on them long enough, they'll take root 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.800 and become a reality. The good news is you get 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.960 to choose what gets planted in your soil. The scripture 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:52.680 says to guard your mind. That's saying, don't let just 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:54.119 any seed get in there. 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:55.320 Be selective. 0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:00.960 If that seed is negative, discouraging, bringing fear, pushing you down, 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.880 don't give it the time of day. You need to 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.280 say no thanks, I refuse that seed. I'm not letting 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.920 that defeat take root in my soil. And sometimes people 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.800 don't realize they're doing it. I'm sorry about that diagnosis. 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.960 My grandmother died of the same thing. I wouldn't take 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.200 that new position if I were you. It's way over 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.160 your head. Are you still single? I don't know if 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.000 you're ever going to meet anyone. Do yourself a favor. 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.479 Let that go in one ear and out the other. 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.120 If you start dwelling on it, what if I don't 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:33.880 get well, maybe. 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.919 This is over my head. I'm worried that I'm not 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:36.880 going to meet someone. 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.799 You're giving that seed permission to become a reality. 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.080 Don't let the doubt from. 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.320 Other people keep you from your destiny. You have to 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.719 tune out all the negative. Can't do it. Not able 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.400 never going to happen. Limiting words. 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.800 They may speak that, but you don't have to receive it. 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.760 If you don't dwell on it, those words will die 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.680 still born. I'll have no effect on you. Victoria and 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.160 I were at a restaurant one time, and our son, 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.159 Jonathan was six months old, and he was laying in 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:09.960 a little carrier in the. 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:10.760 Seat next to me. 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.400 About thirty minutes later, this older couple got up to leave, 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.760 and they came over to our table. The lady said, 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.880 we were just admiring your little baby in how good 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.520 he is, how he just lies there so peaceful and quiet, 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:25.720 and we thank them. 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:27.400 Then the husband. 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.360 Said, but just wait till he gets to be two 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.279 years old, he'll turn into a tyrant. You better enjoy 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.400 it now, because he's going to be a lot of trouble. 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:40.200 Those Terrible twos are coming. We just waved and said goodbye. Thought, 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.240 don't let the door hit you as you leave. Something 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.640 rose up in me. I told Victoria, I don't receive that. 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:51.760 He doesn't determine our future. His opinion is not our reality. 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:54.080 Not going to be the Terrible. 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:57.120 Twos, going to be the Terrific twos, the awesome threes, 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:02.040 the fabulous fours. Don't get in agreement with negative things 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.640 people speak over you. What they're saying may be true 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.040 for a lot of people, but you're the exception. 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:10.800 You're the one to have awesome children. 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.000 You're the one to get well with the medical report 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.040 says you want. You're the one to break the addiction, 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.120 to take your family to a new level, to see 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.760 favor that people could never imagine that this is going 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.039 to happen. You have to be selective in what gets 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:28.240 planted in your soil. 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.320 When these negative seeds come, it's real easy. Refuse it. 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.960 Don't dwell on it, don't go around talking about it, 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:37.240 don't start. 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.880 Expecting it to happen. Keep your mind. 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:45.359 Filled with positive, hopeful, faithful thoughts. David was seventeen years 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:49.840 old when he heard Goliath taunting the Israelites. This giant 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.920 stood over nine feet tall, and he was the champion 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.440 of the Philistine army. None of the Israelites dared to 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.600 face him when he came out shouting his threats. They 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.600 all ran and hid well. David was half his size, 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.880 he had no training, no armor, but he went to 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.360 King Saul and told him that he wanted to face Goliath. 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:15.040 Saul said to David in one Samuel seventeen, David, don't 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:16.120 be ridiculous. 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.680 You're just a boy. He's been a warrior since he 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.080 was a youth. He was saying, David, what are you thinking. 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:27.360 You don't have a chance. You're too small, you're not qualified. 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.000 This is way over your head. 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.320 Whenever you're on the verge of a new level, negative 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.840 seeds will come to try to talk you out of it. 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.080 David had a choice to let those words take root. 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.480 I'm just a boy, I'm not up to par I 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.280 can't do this. Or was he going to guard his mind, 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:51.840 not let the doubt, the inferiority, the opinion of Saul 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:53.840 talk him out of his destiny. 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:58.400 This was a defining moment. David could have walked away, 0:07:58.840 --> 0:07:59.600 went back home. 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.720 He could have missed who God created him to be 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.600 had he not learned this principle. And we see David 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.800 defeating Goliath as the great victory. 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.280 That's when God took him to a new level. 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.800 But the real victory took place when he didn't let 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.960 Saul's demeaning words keep him from stepping up. Had he 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.280 not refused the negative seeds, he would have never made 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.720 it to Goliath. Before you conquer your giant, before you 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.440 reach a new level, there will be a Saul. 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:30.560 Trying to discourage you. 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.040 A Saul telling you you can't get well man, you 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.720 can't start your business. You'll never break that addiction, You'll 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:41.640 never meet the right person. Your real victory is when 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:45.800 you refuse the doubt, refuse what the naysayers are telling you. 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.760 You have to win the battle in your mind before 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:52.760 you'll defeat your giants. Too many people get talked out 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.880 of ever seeing their Goliath because they listen to Saul. 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.920 You would think that Saul would be excited that someone 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:01.440 finally stepped up. 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:02.439 To fight Goliath. 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.480 He had been tauning the Israelites for forty days. Now 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.200 this young man, David had the courage to take him on. 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.240 Surely Saul would say, that's awesome, David, you can do this. 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.000 We're all behind you. But when God puts big things 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.160 in your heart, don't expect everyone to cheer your own. 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.760 Don't expect all your friends, all your family. 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.680 To encourage you, tell you how great you are. That's 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:30.320 when the Sauls will show up. People that cast negative 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:36.199 seeds try to get you to doubt and second guess yourself, discredit. 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.520 You, make you feel small, like you don't measure up. 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:43.559 Don't let those seeds take root. People don't determine your destiny. 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:44.480 God does. 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.920 When he called you, he didn't check with people. He 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.800 didn't consult with your friends, your neighbors, your boss, your family, 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:56.280 or your enemies to decide if they think you can 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.520 do it. Are you big enough, smart enough, talent enough. 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.920 He put things in you that other people can't see. 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.160 Don't get upset with them if they think you can't 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.800 do it. You're just a boy. You don't come from 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:14.120 the right family. They're looking at the outside. They're judging 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.880 from a human point of view. But God has put 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.680 things in you that will defy the odds. His favor 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.280 will cause you to go places you could never go 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.000 on your own. They may think all you have is 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.800 a slingshot. You don't have a chance. What they can't 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.000 see is that slingshot. 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.320 With the blessing of God will bring down giants. 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.600 Well, you're just a boy, yes, but a boy with 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.280 the favor of God can become the King of Israel. 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.600 God wouldn't have allowed the Giant if you weren't well 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.120 able to defeat it. The giant is a sign that 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.920 a new level is coming. But here's the key. 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:55.320 Before that happens, King Saul will show up. The real 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:59.400 test is not Goliath. The real test is Saul. The 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:04.600 negative words, the doubt, the fear, the insecurity trying to 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.800 get you to question yourself and question whether you really 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.800 heard God, question if you really have what it takes. 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:15.960 Dismiss the doubt, refuse those negative seeds. You're at a 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.760 defining moment. You're on the verge of stepping to a 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:23.040 new level, the verge of seeing God do something you've 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.920 never seen. Are you gonna shrink back and let people's 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:28.439 opinion talk you out of it? 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.520 Let the fear, the doubt, take root, or you're. 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.880 Gonna do like David, dismiss it and move forward in 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:40.760 faith into the awesome future God has in store. When 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.680 my father passed in nineteen ninety nine, i'd only ministered 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:49.000 one time, work behind the scenes for seventeen years. I 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.400 never wanted to be up in front of people. I 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.360 liked being in the background. But I knew that I 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:55.760 was supposed to step up. 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.400 And pasture the church, and it didn't make sense to 0:11:58.480 --> 0:11:59.040 my mind. 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:03.160 I didn't have the training, and I wasn't necessarily qualified, 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.880 and I didn't have a big personality like my father. 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.160 But I took that step of faith, and I started 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.400 speaking on the weekends, and I. 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:15.040 Was so nervous and so unsure of myself. I would 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:16.480 finish one message and. 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.960 Walk off the platform so relieved, and the next thought 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.560 would come, what are you going to speak on next week? 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:24.640 What if you have nothing to say? 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.400 What if no one comes, What if people don't like you, 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:32.320 What if the church goes down the enemy loves to 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.680 bring the what ifs? Have you noticed it's always the 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.200 worst case scenario. What if that pain in your little 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.520 toe is cancer? What if your company lays you off 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:43.840 and you can't pay your bills. 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.560 What if your child doesn't pass that class? 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:51.040 These negative seeds that cause worry and anxiety where you. 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:52.480 Can't really enjoy your life. 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.800 Instead of letting them take root, why don't you turn 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.480 the what ifs around and dwell on the best case scenarios, 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.880 Well on something hopeful, something that builds your faith. What 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.280 if no one comes, What if the church explodes? What 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.800 if you never get well? What if you recover and 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.199 feel better than ever? What if your child doesn't pass, 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.800 What if he makes the honor law? What if you 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.559 never meet anyone? What if they show up this week? 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.640 What if you get laid off? What if you get 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.719 a promotion? What if you start your business? What if 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.880 you step into abundance and favor that you've never seen. 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:33.240 Quit letting the negative play in your mind. You choose 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.600 which seeds get planted in your soil. 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.440 You have to take control of your thought life. 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.640 A few weeks after I started ministering, I was in 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.439 the front lobby after the service and I just come 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.360 off the platform and I was walking behind these two 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.640 ladies and they didn't know I was there. 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.920 I overheard them talking. One said, he's not as good 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:54.600 as his father. 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.800 The other answered about, yeah, I don't think the church 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.960 is going to make it. I was all righty, insecure, 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.760 worried about what people thought, wondering was I good enough? 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.840 That was like the worst thing that could have happened. 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:11.240 When I heard that, I felt fear shoot through my body, 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.079 almost like a panic. Oh no, it's not going to 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.280 work out. I don't have what it takes. As I 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:21.240 was processing it all, something rose up in me, like 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:25.520 waking up a sleeping lion. I felt a boldness, a confidence, 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.200 a power that I had never felt before. 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.160 I thought to myself, you ladies don't. 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.560 Know who I am, and you don't know what God 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.400 put in me. You weren't there when He formed me 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.440 in my mother's womb. You weren't there when he called me, 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:45.160 anointed me, and empowered me. You weren't there when he 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:49.080 crowned me with his favor. You may think that I 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.600 can't do it, but I don't need your approval. 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.040 You don't think I have what it takes. That I'm 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.160 just a boy. But there's a slingshot. You can't see, 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.360 there's a giant that's about to come down. 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.680 I was at a destiny moment. If I would have 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.680 let their seeds take root. I would have talked myself 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.080 out of it. In fact, I kept dwelling on that 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.720 you're not like your father, You're not good enough. 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:12.840 It's not going to last. 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.600 I wouldn't be up here today. I was on the 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.400 verge of a new level of my destiny. Getting the 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:23.200 compact center wasn't the real battle. The real battle was 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.360 not letting those two women convince me that I didn't 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.640 have what it takes. Now look back now and I think, 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.080 how did I not let them discourage me? 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:33.960 I was so unsure of myself. 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.720 But in those destiny moments, the grace of God will 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:41.800 always be there to empower you. The scripture says, when 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.400 the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:48.880 God will raise up a barrier. It wasn't a coincidence that, 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.640 out of the thousands of people of church that morning, 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:53.440 it just so happened. 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.600 I walked behind those two ladies. I could have walked 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.840 behind someone that said that was great. Today, I sure 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.120 enjoyed it. That was a test. 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.480 Before you accomplish the dream, the enemy will make sure 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.360 there will be negative seeds, before your health turns around, 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.040 before your child gets back on course. Before you break 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.880 that addiction, these seeds of doubt and discouragement. 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:18.000 Can't do it. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.240 Not good enough, never gonna happen. Don't believe those lies. 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.520 Turn it around and declare what God says about you. 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.440 When thoughts tell you you've seen your best days, nothing 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.560 good is in your future. Father, you said, my latter 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.560 days will be better than my former days. You said, 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:39.040 the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter. Your 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.000 children are never gonna get back on course. Just accept it. 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.640 Know as for me and my house, we will serve 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:45.080 the Lord. 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.160 Father. Thank you that my children are mighty in the land. 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.360 You're never gonna have that baby you've been trying for 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.440 so many years. Father, you said in Psalms that you 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.240 would make me the happy mother of children. So Lord, 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.560 I think you that my baby is. On the March, 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:04.800 chapter five, Jesus was walking by the shore and a 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:09.160 man named Gyros came and fell at his feet and said, Jesus, 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.480 my little girl is very sick. She's about to die. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.760 Please come to my house and pray for her. And 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.280 Jesus said that he would, but along the way he 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.320 kept getting delayed. That's when the woman came up with 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.760 the issue of blood touched the edge of his robe. 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:27.120 And she was healed, and Jesus stopped and talked with her. 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.960 All this time Gyros was thinking, please hurry, we don't. 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:32.560 Have a lot of time. 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:37.359 About that time, these messengers came up to Jyros, saying, 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.359 we're so sorry, but your little girl has died. 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.120 There's no use bothering Jesus anymore. 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:48.720 The scripture says Jesus overheard what the messenger said, but. 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:52.160 He ignored their comments. Notice the principle. 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:57.399 You may overhear some negative words, overhear negative reports. 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:00.600 But you have to learn to ignore them. Don't dwell 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:00.960 on it. 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.439 You're not denying the problem, you're not acting like it 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:08.520 doesn't exist, but you're not letting it take root. You 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:12.480 can't have faith if there's doubt and fear, worried about 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.720 this medical report and joel the experts say it's not 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:16.600 going to work out. 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:19.840 Sometimes take this in the right sense. 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.480 You have to turn your mind off, lean not to 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.439 your own understanding. Yes, huge common sense that there are 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.200 things we face where there is no solution in the natural. 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:33.840 If you try to figure it out, you're going to 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:38.399 get confused. Discourage, talk yourself out of it. You can't 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.679 stop that. You heard it, but take the next step 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:44.040 and ignore it. Don't dwell on it. Jesus went in 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.880 and prayed for the little girl, and she came back 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.959 to life, a great miracle. There may be things in 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.720 your life right now that look dead. Every circumstance says 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.320 it's too late. You're never going to get well, never 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:02.920 accomplish your dream, never see your family restored. But God 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:07.160 has the final say. When you believe all things are possible, 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:11.119 don't give those negative seeds any room in your soil. 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.960 When you're in a battle, when you're up against those giants, 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:15.960 you need. 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.600 Your heart filled with hope, with faith. 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:22.200 Knowing that God is bigger, knowing that he's fighting your battles, 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.840 that he's making ways where you don't see away see. 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.960 The messenger said it was too late, but they were wrong. 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.639 The little girl was healed. Saul said, David, you're just 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.960 a boy. You can't defeat Goliath. But Saul was wrong. 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.600 David won. Those two ladies said that I couldn't minister, 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:41.680 but they were wrong. Here I am. 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:45.560 The experts told my mother that she had terminal cancer, 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:46.280 a few. 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:49.720 Weeks to live, but they were wrong. Forty two years later, 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:50.600 she's still alive. 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:55.200 People told us that we would never get the compact center, 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:57.600 that the city would never let a church have it, 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:02.879 but they were wrong. Here's my in each of these situations, 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.280 if the people would have let the negative seeds take root, 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:10.080 then what the others were saying would have been true. 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:14.040 David wouldn't have defeated Goliath. Jyrus's daughter would have died, 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:15.560 my mother wouldn't have been healed. 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:17.000 I wouldn't have become a minister. 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.840 The determining factor wasn't what other people said. 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:25.680 It's whether we let it take root. We control what 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:27.000 we allow in our soil. 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:32.080 I'm asking you to refuse the negative seeds. Refuse the doubt, 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:36.760 refuse the fear, Refuse limitations that people put on you. 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:40.840 My grandmother on my father's side of the family was 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:44.280 a very feisty woman. She only stood four feet eleven 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:47.920 inches tall, but she would fight a tiger. She lived 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.680 out in the country her whole life. If you've ever 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.600 seen the Beverly Hillbillies, she was granny. Her name was 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:59.240 Ellie May. She chewed tobacco, she dipped snuff. I come 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:03.879 from a various pphisticated family. I'm so glad my sister 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:07.959 Lisa finally quit. But when my grandmother was up there 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:10.880 in years, she went to the doctor for a checkup. 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:14.120 He said, miss Ostein, I'm sorry to tell you this, 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:17.600 but you have the beginning stages of Parkinson's disease. 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:19.360 Well, my grandmother. 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:22.160 Didn't know what Parkinson's was, but she knew she didn't 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.480 want to have anything to do with it. She got 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.640 up off the table, bristled back and said, listen here, sir, 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:28.400 I do not. 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:29.920 Have Parkinson's disease. 0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:33.800 I refuse to have it, and besides, I'm too old. 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:34.000 To have it. 0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.720 He looked at her like she was a little bit crazy, 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:39.560 and she was. 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:43.680 But you know, my grandmother never did have Parkinson's disease. 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:49.280 If she had it, the symptoms never showed up. 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:53.600 Now, I know you can't wish things away, but something 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:57.360 happens when you don't let the seed take root. I'm 0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:00.280 not saying bury your head in the sand, the not reality. 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:03.160 I'm saying, don't let it get down in your spirit 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:05.479 where it becomes your default setting. 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.800 You always think it. I have this disease. I'm limited. 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:09.199 Now. 0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:11.840 Your body is a temple of the Most High God, 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:14.960 see any sickness, any addiction, any. 0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:19.400 Pain as foreign. You don't belong here, You are not welcome. 0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:21.720 I am God's property. 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:25.160 See doctors tell us what medical science says, and they 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:29.120 give us diagnosis based on skill and expertise and training, 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:30.040 and they. 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:31.080 Help us to get well. 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:35.320 But at times they come to limitations. There's nothing more 0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:39.639 they can do medically speaking. While we respect the diagnosis. 0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:43.520 That's one report. But there's another report from the God 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.280 who created you, from the God who made you in 0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:49.080 his own image, from the God who knew you before 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.000 you were formed in your mother's womb. 0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:53.320 He's called Jehovah. 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:57.440 Raphah, the Lord, your healer, Isaiah said, who will believe 0:22:57.760 --> 0:22:58.840 the report of the Lord. 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:02.040 We have different reports. 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:06.600 Here's the medical report, here's my financial report, and here's 0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:09.679 what King Saul says. And here's what those two jerks 0:23:09.720 --> 0:23:12.720 I mean, those two ladies said, No, we get to 0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:15.479 choose which report we're gonna believe. 0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:19.240 He'll never be as good as his father. That's one report, 0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:20.440 but there's another one. 0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:23.360 I can do all things through Christ. I am strong 0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:26.280 in the Lord. God being for me is more than 0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:27.439 the world being against me. 0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:31.280 Why don't you choose the report of the Lord. You're 0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:34.560 not gonna get well. That sickness is permanent. Learn to 0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:36.440 live with it. There's another report. 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:39.800 God is restoring health back into me. I will live 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:44.400 and not die with long life. God will satisfy me. Well, 0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:48.200 you'll always struggle, You'll always have lack, not enough. 0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:51.159 How about this report? I will lend and not borrow. 0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:52.920 My cup runs over. 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:56.760 I live under the open windows of heaven, blessings that 0:23:56.800 --> 0:24:00.920 I cannot contain. What seeds are you letting take root? 0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:04.360 What you're dwelling on is what's going to come to pass. 0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:08.000 I talked to a woman that was pregnant with triplets 0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:11.639 and because of some other complications, it was considered a 0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:15.040 very high risk pregnancy. They sent her to a group 0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:18.840 of doctors that specialized in this. She was told that 0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:22.199 she would be bedridden after three months of pregnancy and 0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:25.800 that the babies would be born at least four months prematurely. 0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:30.600 They'd seen this happen again and again. She was respectful, 0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:34.080 but she didn't let that seed take root. She told 0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:36.720 the doctors that she was going to be the exception, 0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:40.640 that her babies were going to be born full term, 0:24:40.760 --> 0:24:42.680 and she was not going to be bedridden. 0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:44.680 They looked at her like, yeah, right. 0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:48.399 At one point, the main doctor said, you're going to 0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:54.040 get gestational diabetes, something that occurs during pregnancy that can 0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:57.560 lead to long term diabetes. He said, it's not if 0:24:57.560 --> 0:25:00.320 you get it, it's when you get it. You have 0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:03.840 all the signs, it's just a matter of time. She 0:25:04.000 --> 0:25:07.800 asked the doctor very politely to not pronounce things over 0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:08.600 her that. 0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:09.920 Have not yet happened. 0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:14.879 She said, I'd prefer you to say the statistics indicate. 0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:18.280 That you will get gestational diabetes. She didn't want that 0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:20.400 defeat being spoken over her. 0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:23.480 You can't always keep it from coming, but you don't 0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:26.159 have to let it take root. They thought she was 0:25:26.240 --> 0:25:28.600 kind of odd, But do you know she carried the 0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:33.199 triplets the full nine months, She was never bedridden, She 0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:36.880 drove herself to the hospital to deliver, and she never 0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:41.440 did get gestational diabetes. Now these same doctors call her 0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:45.520 the miracle mam. They said, We've never seen anyone like you. 0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:47.840 It's amazing what. 0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:51.240 God will do if you don't let negative seeds take root. 0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:55.000 Whose report are you gonna believe? The report of the 0:25:55.040 --> 0:25:59.200 Lord or the report of people? People are limited? God 0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:04.040 is unlimited. People are natural. God is supernatural. People look 0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:07.280 at facts, statistics, what's supposed to happen. 0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:11.600 God goes beyond normal logic. He parts red seas. 0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:15.080 He brings little girls back to life. He turns a 0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:18.520 shepherd boy into a king. He gave Sarah a baby 0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:22.000 at eighty years old. He took Joseph from a slave 0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:25.000 in prison to the prime minister of Egypt. 0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:28.240 Who knows where God is going to take you. 0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:31.800 You haven't seen, heard, or imagined what he has in store. 0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:34.840 You may not see how it can happen, but you 0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:37.240 don't have to figure it out. All you have to 0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:40.359 do is believe, and God will cause you to divide. 0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:45.800 The odds are negative seeds limiting your future. Take inventory 0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:48.440 of what's growing in your soil. You may need to 0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:52.000 uproot some things. God can still do what he promised, 0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:55.200 but you have to get in agreement with him before 0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:56.600 you go to that next level. 0:26:56.800 --> 0:26:59.959 The enemy will send these negative seeds to hold your back. 0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:02.639 See the doubt seed. 0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:06.080 You can't do it. Seed, you won't get well. Seed 0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:08.679 you'll never defeat alive. A seed you can't get up 0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:12.720 in front of people. There will be these defining moments. 0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:16.159 What you do with the seed will determine whether you 0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:19.119 step into your greatness or whether you swink. 0:27:18.920 --> 0:27:19.639 Back in fear. 0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:24.760 Pass these tests. Start refusing negative seeds. Don't let what 0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:26.560 people speak over you. 0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:30.120 Determine your future. Don't let what the expert said cause 0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:31.080 you to live in doubt. 0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:34.440 Don't let your own thoughts talk you out of what 0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:35.720 God put in your heart. 0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:37.720 Believe his report. 0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:40.840 He wouldn't have put you in that situation if you 0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:46.080 weren't already equipped, empowered, and anointed. You are strong, you 0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:50.959 are blessed, You are healthy, you are qualified, you are valuable, 0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:55.280 you are victorious. Now guard your mind and keep these 0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:56.520 negative seeds out. 0:27:57.040 --> 0:27:59.639 If you'll do this, I believe and declare. 0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:04.560 Like David, You're going to defeat giants, light gyrus. God's 0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:08.400 gonna do what looks impossible, like the miracle Mom. You're 0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:11.200 going to defy the odds and see God show out 0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:12.440 in your life. 0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:15.000 Healing, favor, breakthroughs. 0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:18.919 The fullness of your destiny in Jesus's name, and if 0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:20.800 you receive it, can you say amen? 0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:23.359 I want to give you. 0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:26.359 An opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:30.760 Would you pray with me?
