About blessing a joy to come into your homes. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.520 We love you.

I promise you we'll make you feel 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.680 right at home, but we'd love to have you join us. 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.760 But thanks so much for tuning in today. Thank y'all 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.959 for coming out. I like to start each week with 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.760 something kind of funny. And of course these jokes are 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:17.680 not necessarily doctrinately correct. 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.320 They're just to make us laugh. But I heard about 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:21.560 this husband and wife. 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.800 They were celebrating their sixtieth birthdays together. Suddenly an angel 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.040 appeared and said God was going to grant them each 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:29.360 one special request. 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:30.840 They were so excited. 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.160 The lady said, my request is that I would be 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.440 able to travel all over the world, and poof, when 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.440 the smoke cleared, she had tickets in her hand. The 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.239 man kind of hung his head and he said, my 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.160 request is that I'd be married to a woman thirty 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.400 years younger than me, and poof, when the smoke cleared, 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:49.760 he was ninety years old. 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.880 All right, hold up your Bible. Say it like you 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.080 mean it. This is my Bible. 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.679 I am what it says, I am what it says 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.359 I have. I can do what it says I can do. 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.959 Today I will be taught the word of God. I 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:11.720 boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:15.799 I will never be the same in Jesus' name, God, 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.320 bless you. I want to talk to you today about 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:23.360 stretching into the next level. Too many people are living 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:27.400 far below their potential. They have so many gifts and talents, 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.200 so much to offer, But the problem is they've gotten 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.560 comfortable and now they just sit back and settle where 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:34.920 they are. 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.160 They're too easily satisfied. 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:38.000 Now. 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:39.480 I hear people make excuses. 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.000 I've achieved as much as most, done pretty well in 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.839 my career, gone as far as my parents. No, God 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:51.160 wants you to go further. He's a progressive god. Every 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:55.320 generation should be increasing. No matter where we are in life, 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.720 God has more in store. He never wants us to 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.160 quit growing. We should always be reaching for new heights 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.360 in our abilities, in our spiritual walk, in our finances, 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.320 in our marriage. We all have areas we can come 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.800 up higher end. We may have achieved a certain level 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.560 of success, but there are new mountains to climb. There 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.360 are new dreams and goals that we should be pursuing. 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.240 Maybe God has done a lot in your past. He's 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.520 opened up doors, caused you to get promoted, given you 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.360 good breaks, and it's easy to kind of get satisfied 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.160 and think, yeah, Joel, God's been good to me. 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:35.599 Can't complain. I've reached my limits. But understand, God. 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:39.680 Never performs his greatest feats in your yesterday. He may 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:41.240 have done a lot in the past, but let me 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.240 tell you, you haven't seen anything yet. The best is 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:48.000 still yet to come. Don't get complacent. I was reading 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.480 about Frank Lloyd Wright. He was a famous architect, and 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.200 he designed many beautiful buildings, many magnificent structures. 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.520 Toward the end of his career, a. 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:01.360 Reporter asked him, of all the many beautiful designs, which 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.599 one was his favorite. Without missing a beat, he said, 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:09.440 my next one. He understood this principle. He understood God 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.360 had more in store. Don't live in your past. God 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.320 may have done great things for you, but I found 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.840 God likes to outdo himself. He wants to show his 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.320 favor in your life in a greater way. That means, 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.600 if you're a teacher, you haven't taught your best lesson yet. 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.680 If you're a builder, you haven't built your best home yet. 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.680 If you're a business person, you haven't cut your best 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.480 deal yet. You need to get your hopes up. You 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.160 may have had some dreams come to pass, but we 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.080 have to enlarge our vision and get ready for the 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.280 new things that God has on the horizon. And the 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.720 scripture says here in First Corinthians two verse nine, no 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:53.040 person has ever seen, heard, or imagined the wonderful things 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.680 God has in store for those that love the Lord. 0:05:56.320 --> 0:06:00.560 That's basically saying, don't get complacent. Your best or not 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.880 behind you. They're in front of you. But if this 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.120 is going to happen, we have to keep pressing forward. 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:12.760 We have to keep stretching ourselves. Get rid of low expectations. 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.960 Don't make little plans for your life. Don't have little dreams. 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.080 Don't go around thinking everybody gets good. 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.040 Breaks except me. 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.680 Joel, I've reached my limits. Probably never get this promotion. 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.839 I don't know why I'm not talented. Don't get rid 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.360 of that defeated mindset. You are a child of the 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:35.240 most High God. God has breathed his very life into you. 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.920 He's planted seeds of greatness on the inside. You have 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.320 everything you need to fulfill your God given destiny. 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:45.760 God has already put in you. 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:51.080 The talent, the creativity, the discipline, the wisdom, the determination. 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:52.240 It's all in you. 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.640 You are full of potential, but you've got to do 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.120 your part and start tapping into it. 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.160 You've got to start stretching yourself. Well. 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.120 See, the scripture tells us that we have a treasure 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:08.320 on the inside. That means there is something valuable in 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:09.280 every one of us. 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:10.920 You have a gift. 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.960 You have something to offer that nobody else has. You 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.120 didn't just show up on planet Earth by accident. You 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:22.040 were handpicked by Almighty God. He saw you before you 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.880 were formed in your mother's womb, and you are. 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.000 Here for a reason. 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.240 You have an assignment. There's something that God wants you 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:35.560 to accomplish. Somebody needs your gift, Somebody needs what you have. 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.120 And I'm asking you today to not die with the 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:43.200 treasure still in you. Press forward, give birth to the 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.240 dreams and desires that God has placed in your heart. 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.640 I read where the average person uses less than ten 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:54.720 percent of their mind. That means more than ninety percent 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.760 of the mind's capability lies dormant, never gets tapped into. 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:03.400 But if we could understand what we have, God has 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.280 deposited a part of himself into you. When it came 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.680 time for you to be born, God said, let me 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.520 give them some of this gift, some of this talent, 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.560 some of this creativity. You have the seed of Almighty 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:20.720 God on the inside. You were never created to be average. 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.600 You were never created to reach a certain level and 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:28.600 then stop. You were created to continue to excel. And 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.040 there's no limit to how high you can go in life. 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.319 There's no limit to what you can accomplish if you 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:38.280 will just learned to shake off complacency and keep stretching 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:39.520 into the next level. 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:41.760 But it all starts right here. 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.000 We have to believe that we do have what it takes. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.280 We have to believe that we have a gift, a 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.560 treasure on the inside. People may have tried to push 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:55.880 us down. Circumstances may have soured your outlook on life. 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:56.800 I don't know. 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.440 Maybe you've tried and hit a brick wall again and again, 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.400 but you you know what, you need to get back 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.480 up and try another time. Somebody may have told you 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.920 no a thousand times, but you've got to go back 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:08.000 and ask one more time. 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:09.640 You got to keep pressing. 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:15.000 Too many people are satisfied, they're comfortable, they're not stretching anymore. 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.640 And one reason is they don't really understand what they 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:22.400 have on the inside. They don't understand their God given potential. 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.560 Years ago, a friend of mine was in Europe driving 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.880 on the autobond. None like our freeways here in the States. 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:31.920 There's no speed limit on the autobonn he can go. 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:32.800 As fast as you want. 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.480 He was so excited he took the car up to 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.640 eighty miles an hour, then ninety, then one hundred, one 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:40.360 hundred and ten. 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.240 I mean, he was moving. 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.160 He told how he felt like he was the king 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.520 of the road, zooming past people left and right, driving 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:54.480 like Victoria. A few minutes later, though, this car came 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:58.000 flying down the freeway, the exact same model. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.800 It blew by him like he was stand in still. 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.000 It must have been going one hundred and sixty one 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.959 hundred and seventy miles an hour. The friend sitting next 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.480 to him kind of laughed. He said, see, you're not 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:12.040 going as fast as you can. You're just going as 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.720 fast as you will. You think about it, the car 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.319 had all kinds of potential. It too, was capable of 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.120 going one hundred and eighty miles per hour. 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.760 The potential was put in it by the manufacture. 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.319 How fast he drove didn't have anything to do with 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:32.439 the car's capability. In other words, the potential was not 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.719 lessened just because he chose not to use it. 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:36.480 It's the same way with us. 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.239 Our potential has been put in us by our manufacture. 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.480 It's been put in us by our creator, Almighty God. 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.720 Whether we use it or not does not lessen our potential. 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:52.680 What's happened in your past doesn't reduce it. How somebody 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.680 has treated you, what they said about you, doesn't change 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.439 that potential. Maybe you've been through some disappointments, had some 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.160 unfair things happen in life. But what I want you 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:03.720 to see is none of. 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.640 This affects your potential. 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:09.400 It has been put in you permanently by the creator 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:13.360 of the universe. And when we believe, when we stir 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.679 ourselves up and take a step of faith and stretch ourselves, 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.280 that's when we tap into it. That's when will rise higher. 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.599 We have incredible capability. There is no obstacle that you 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.559 cannot overcome, there's no challenge. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.040 That you can't meet. You can accomplish more than you 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:33.480 ever dreamed possible. The capability is in you. 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.520 But the real question is are we willing to break 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:41.920 free from these self imposed limitations and start stretching to 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:46.120 the next level. Too often we allow our experiences from 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.880 the past, maybe how we were raised, or maybe what 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.319 somebody has said to us keep us from pressing forward. 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.680 How many people were about to take a step of faith, 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.160 They were about to stretch to that next level, but 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:04.079 then a business partner, a coach, a relative, a friend said, Hey, 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:05.679 you really think you can do that? 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.000 I don't know if that would be right for you. 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.520 What if you try and fail? What if it doesn't 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:11.000 work out? 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.680 Now, all these negative words have kept them from pressing forward. 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:20.320 We have to understand none of this changes the potential 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:21.160 on the inside. 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:22.040 It's still in you. 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.880 We should not allow other people to talk us out 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:27.880 of doing what we know God wants us to do. 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.800 And it's really a shame today how many people have 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.800 had negative things spoken over them, things like you don't 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.320 have what it takes, you're not very talented. I don't 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.680 think you'll ever be successful. And if we're not careful, 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.320 we'll allow those negative words to play over and over 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:47.040 in our mind. 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:51.920 They can create a stronghold. And that's why it's so important. 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:56.480 Parents, leaders, that we never speak discouraging words over our children, 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.959 or for that matter, over anyone that we have authority over. 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:04.240 Those words can do so much damage they can take root. 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.319 And if that person doesn't know how to cast them 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.760 down and not dwell on them, it'll keep them from 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.680 rising any higher. I was talking to a young lady 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.920 the other day. She had just come out of a 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:19.319 very abusive relationship, and she told how for years she 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.960 was told things like you can't do anything right, you're 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.720 so slow, you're not attractive, And after hearing that jump 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:31.960 for so long, it had totally beaten her down physically, emotionally, spiritually, 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.440 she had no joy, no confidence, no self esteem. 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.160 And I told her what I'm telling you today. 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:42.319 Your value, your gifts, your talents, they have been put 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.319 in you by Almighty God, and it doesn't matter what 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.640 anyone else has spoken over you. The good news is 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.800 God has the final authority, and he says you have 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:54.480 a treasure on the inside. 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:56.400 He says you have a gift. 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:00.760 He says you are valuable, and you got to quit 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.240 playing that other junk. You need to put on a 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.880 new record. You need to be dwelling on things like 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:10.120 I am creative, I am talented, I am valuable, I 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.280 have a bright future. My best days are still out 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.920 in front of me. You've got to get your mind 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.280 going in this new direction, because as long as you're 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:23.200 dwelling on negative thoughts toward yourself, it'll keep you from 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.960 becoming all God's created you to be. And it doesn't 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:30.440 matter who has spoken them, a parent, a spouse, a coach, 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:31.000 a teacher. 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.480 You got to cast those words down. Words are powerful. 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:38.480 They can create strongholds, and sometimes even one little phrase, 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.360 if we make the mistake of dwelling on it, it 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.480 can hold us back for years. A friend of mine 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.600 used to travel with a well known minister. This was 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.760 years ago, and one day somebody came to the hotel 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.960 and wanted this well known minister to pray for them 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.880 and my friend. His associate told him, I'm sorry, but 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:00.360 he can't be disturbed. He's resting, getting p prepared for 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.200 the meeting tonight. But this man would not take no 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.960 for an answer, was very aggressive, very determined. My friend 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.400 was very kind and curtis and finally he said, Hey, 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.000 how about this, I'll pray for you. I work with 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:12.840 the man every day. 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.200 That man turned his nose up. He said, I don't 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:20.120 think so you won't do. My friend told how those 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:23.400 words ring out in his mind day after day. 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:27.120 You won't do lying in bed at night. You don't 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.520 have what it takes. You're not annointed like him. Nobody's 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.680 going to ever listen to you. He already struggled with 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:37.680 his confidence, but now he was allowing these negative words 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.960 to just play again and again. Listen, you've got to 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:44.400 learn to shake that junk off. Too many people today 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.920 are in mediocrity. They don't have the confidence and the 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:52.400 self esteem they should because they're constantly dwelling on negative 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:56.120 thoughts about themselves. I don't say this arrogantly, but do 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.280 you know what plays in my mind all day long? 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.920 I am anointed, I am creative, I am talented, I 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.520 am successful, I have the favor of God. 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:09.040 People like me. I'm a victor and not a victim. 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.480 You go around thinking those kind of thoughts and low 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.720 self esteem, lack of confidence. 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.880 Inferiority, they won't have a chance with you. 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.880 You'll have your shoulders back, a smile on your face, 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.320 and you'll be looking for opportunities to stretch into that 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.040 next level. And I know when my father went to 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.480 be with the Lord, if I had listened to what 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.240 everybody was saying about me, I would have never gotten 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.800 off the ground. Well, I don't think he's as good 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.840 as his father. He's so young, you really think he 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:41.400 knows what he's talking about. I overheard one lady say, well, 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.360 I went last week and I didn't get anything out 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.440 of it. I thought, I can't help it if there's 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:50.840 something wrong with you, lady. Somebody told me the other 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:51.840 day seriously. 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:52.440 They came up and. 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.600 Said, Jeel, I have to admit when you first started, 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.400 I just didn't think you had what it takes. 0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:00.280 But you're doing all right now. I thought you could 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:01.200 have gone ahead and kept that to. 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.600 Yourself, mister, but you've got to learn to shake that 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.920 junk off, especially if you struggle with your confidence and 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:08.879 your self esteem. 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.119 You need to let that bounce off of you like 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.960 water off of a duck's back. Put on the new record. 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.800 I am anointed, I am well able, I have what 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.280 it takes. I am the head. I am not to tell. 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.800 I think about back in the Garden of Eden, when 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:28.440 Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. They went and hid, 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.399 and God came along and said, Adam, Eve, where are you? 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.520 And they said, God, we're hiding because we are naked. 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.880 I love the way God answered them back. He said 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:42.800 Adam who told you you were naked. In other words, 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:46.959 who told you something was wrong with you? God immediately 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:50.240 knew the enemy had been talking to them, And God 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.040 is saying to you today. Who told you you don't 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.880 have what it takes. Who told you all you could 0:17:55.960 --> 0:18:00.920 make in school was seas and not a Who told 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:04.919 you you're not talented enough. Who told you your marriage 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.879 was never going to last? Those are lies from the enemy. 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.440 You need to go back to what God says about you. Well, 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.520 I don't think I could ever get this promotion, Joel. 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.920 Who told you that God said, no good thing will 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.440 he withhold when you walk up rightly? Well, I don't 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:21.960 think I'll ever get married, Joel. 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:24.240 I hadn't had a dat in so long. 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:28.120 Who told you that God said, when you delight yourself 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:31.399 in Him, he will give you the desires of your heart. Well, 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:33.280 I don't think I could ever be in management. I 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:35.520 don't think I could ever be in leadership. Who told 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.520 you that God says you can do all things through Christ. 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.600 What I want you to see is the potential is 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.119 on the inside of you. Doesn't change just because you 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.359 don't believe it, or just because you've been through a 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:50.000 negative past. It has been put in you permanently by 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.720 the creator of the universe, and the scripture says God's 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:58.200 gifts and his callings are irrevocable. That means God's never 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:00.600 going to take him back. I'm going to say, man, 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.200 I'm tired of dealing with you. You've tried and failed 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.000 so many times, You've made so many mistakes. 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:05.960 Let me just have him back. 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.960 No, those gifts, the calling on your life will be 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:12.320 with you till the day you leave this earth, but 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:14.760 it's totally up to you as to whether you tap 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:18.080 into them or not. The thing that keeps most people 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:22.680 back is wrong mindsets. It's limited thinking, dwelling on what 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:26.399 we can't do rather than what we can do. Many times, 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:28.840 these things have started way back in life, how we 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:29.520 were raised. 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:33.159 What somebody has said to us cause low self esteem. 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:36.720 Now we go around without the confidence, stuck in a rut, 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:38.560 thinking that we've reached our limits. 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:41.040 I remember a young man growing up. 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:44.600 He loved playing baseball, that was his passion. But when 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:46.760 he went to try out for the team, the coach 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:48.720 didn't even give him the time of day, didn't give 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.520 him a chance. He said, I'm sorry, son, you're just 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.119 too small. You will never be able to play on 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:57.560 this team. I mean, he was devastated. His heart was 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.879 set on playing baseball. Mom came and picked him up 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.200 from the school, and his best friend was writing in 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:03.920 the back seat. 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:06.720 He was doing all he could to keep his composure 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:07.600 and to not cry. 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.440 Then his friend, who was much bigger than him, said, Hey, 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.200 did you tell your mom you didn't make the team 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:16.560 because you're too little? That just pierced his heart. He 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:20.120 couldn't stand being small. He went home feeling so low 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:23.639 and so dejected. But later that week they announced that 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:25.720 since so many boys had tried out for the team, 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.560 they were going to create a second team, a B team, 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.800 and they put this young man on it. Long story short, 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:34.960 those two teams ended up in a playoff for the 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.680 championship and the second team, the B team, beat the 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:41.200 A team. And on top of that, this young man 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:44.920 was the winning pitcher. They won because of him. And 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:49.880 what I'm telling you is other people don't determine your potential. 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:52.920 What they said about you, what they think about you, 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:55.800 does not change what God has placed on the inside. 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:59.440 Don't allow those negative words to take root and keep 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.960 you from prayer forward. God is asking some of you today. 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.119 Who told you you were too small, Who told you 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.960 you weren't educated enough, who told you you didn't have 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:12.159 the talent. God would have not put the dream in 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:15.760 your heart if he had not already given you everything 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:17.560 you need to fulfill your destiny. 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:20.280 That means if I have a dream, if I have 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:22.920 a desire, and I know it's from God, then I 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:24.800 don't have to worry whether or not I have what 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:27.320 it takes. I know God doesn't make mistakes. 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:30.720 I know God doesn't call us to do something without 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:33.800 first giving us the ability to do it. Why don't 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:36.520 you shake off the low self esteem, shake off the 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:40.560 negative voices, shake off the disappointments, and keep pressing forward 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:43.720 in life. Too often, when we suffer some kind of 0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:47.000 rejection like that, or some kind of disappointment, we get 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:48.440 all discouraged. 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:50.240 And we just settle right where we are. Hell, I 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:51.240 guess it wasn't meant to be. 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:53.880 Thought I could play on the ball team, But maybe 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:56.240 I am too small, Maybe I don't have the talent. 0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:58.840 Thought I could get the promotion Joel, But I tried 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:01.480 and fell didn't work out. Listen, You've got to get 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.600 back up and go again. We give up too easily 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:08.560 on our dreams. These days, we need to understand just 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:14.760 as God supernaturally opens doors, sometimes God supernaturally closes doors, 0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:18.600 and it's always because He has something better in store. 0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:21.960 So just because you've come to a dead end, just 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:24.600 because you tried and it didn't work out, just because 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:28.440 you had some rejection, some persecution, that's not the time 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:29.000 to give up. 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:29.760 Keep pressing. 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:34.360 I heard somebody say, out of our greatest rejection comes 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:37.800 our greatest direction. In other words, when you come to 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:40.640 a closed door when something doesn't work out in your life, 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:43.800 instead of seeing that as the end, you need to 0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:46.880 see that as God leading you and guiding you into 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:51.520 his best path. And yes, sometimes it's uncomfortable, sometimes we 0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:54.080 may not like it, but we cannot make the mistake 0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:57.600 of just sitting back and settling where we are. This 0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:00.640 is what happened to my father back in nineteen fifty nine. 0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:03.960 He was the pastor of a successful church. Things were 0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:07.000 going great, but about that time, my sister Lisa was 0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:10.240 born with something like cerebral palsy, and so my dad 0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:12.359 went away for a little while and he got alone, 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:16.240 and he searched the scriptures in a new way, and 0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:18.640 he began to see how God was a good God, 0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:23.520 a healing God, how God still did miracles today. And 0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:26.119 he came back to his church and he preached with 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:29.720 a new fire, a new enthusiasm, and he thought everybody 0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:33.119 would be thrilled. But it was just the opposite. They 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:36.080 didn't like his new message. It didn't fit in with 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:40.640 their tradition. And after much persecution, after much heartache and pain, 0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:43.119 my father knew the best thing for him to do 0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:46.399 was to leave that church. Here they had just built 0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:49.480 a beautiful new sanctuary. They had a bright future in 0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:52.840 store and in the natural. My dad was disappointed. He 0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:57.680 didn't understand it. But remember, out of rejection comes direction. 0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:01.119 When one door closes, God's about to open up a 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:05.240 bigger and a better door. And so my father he 0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:09.040 went down the street to an abandoned, beat up feed store, 0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:12.960 he and ninety other people from Lakewood Church on Mother's 0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:15.520 Day in nineteen fifty nine. The critics said it would 0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:18.360 never last. But here we are today, nearly fifty years later, 0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:22.960 still going strong. But I don't believe that my father 0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:25.800 would have had the ministry he had. I don't believe 0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:28.159 he would have become all God created him to be. 0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:32.040 If he would have stayed in that limited environment. And 0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:35.600 sometimes God will stir you out of a comfortable situation. 0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:40.040 When you go through persecution, you go through rejection. It's 0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:42.440 not always just because somebody has it in for you. 0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:46.240 Sometimes that's God trying to push you into his perfect will. 0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:49.359 He's trying to get you to stretch to the next level, 0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:51.920 and he knows you're not going to go without a push, 0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:53.800 so he'll make it uncomfortable. 0:24:54.680 --> 0:24:56.680 The mistake we make at times as. 0:24:56.600 --> 0:24:59.600 We get negative and souring, we focus on what didn't 0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:02.760 work out, and all this does is prolonged the new 0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:06.040 doors from opening out. I remember just a few years ago, 0:25:06.359 --> 0:25:08.240 we were trying to buy some property to build a 0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:11.879 new sanctuary on. We looked for months, finally found this 0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:14.640 one hundred acre tract of land. We were so excited, 0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:17.600 but the day we were to close, the people sold 0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:20.080 the land right out from under us. And I had 0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:23.320 to tell myself what I'm telling you, Joel, God has 0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:26.280 closed this door for a reason. He has something better 0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:28.119 in store in the natural. 0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:29.320 I was down, I was a. 0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:32.280 Little discouraged, but I had to shake that off and say, no, 0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:35.480 I'm not settling here. I'm going to keep pressing forward. 0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:39.040 A few months later, we found another nice piece of property. 0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:41.320 It would have worked as well, but the same thing. 0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:44.240 The man refused to sell it to us, another disappointment. 0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:47.600 I didn't understand it, but I said, God, I'm trusting you. 0:25:48.359 --> 0:25:51.320 I know your ways are not my ways. This doesn't 0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:54.040 seem right, doesn't seem fair, but I'm going to stay 0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:57.200 in an attitude of faith and just keep expecting good things. 0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:00.280 It wasn't long after that that the door to the 0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:03.960 Compact Center opened up. Then it became clear why God 0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:06.600 had closed the other doors that would have kept us 0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:10.160 from his very best and throughout life. We're not always 0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:13.720 going to understand everything that happens along the way, but 0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:16.159 we've got to learn to trust God. We've got to 0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:18.560 believe that he has us in the palm of his hand, 0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:21.399 that he is leading us and guiding us, that he 0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:25.200 always has our best interest at heart. Now I know people, 0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:29.000 they've gone through a lot of rejection in relationships. Their 0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:32.080 marriage didn't work out here, they put all these years 0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:36.320 into it. Now they're hurt, dejected, going around kind of defeated, 0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:40.479 not expecting anything good. And of course we're not for divorce. 0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:43.520 We don't believe that's God's best, but you know as 0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:46.520 well as I do. Sometimes that happens, and you have 0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:50.160 to understand God still has another plan for your life. 0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:54.040 Just because somebody may have rejected you, just because they 0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:56.440 walked out in your life and left you hurt, that 0:26:56.600 --> 0:26:59.520 doesn't mean you should retreat and just settle where you are. 0:27:00.280 --> 0:27:03.360 That rejection did not change what God. 0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:05.320 Has put on the inside of you. Doesn't mean that 0:27:05.400 --> 0:27:09.119 you still cannot be happy when one door closes. If 0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:11.879 you will keep the right attitude, God will open up 0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:14.359 another door. But you have to do your part and 0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:18.000 keep pressing forward. Too many people in life get bitter, 0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:20.600 they get angry, and they start to blame God. 0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:24.040 You've got to let that go. You may not understand it, 0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:26.320 but trust God and move on with your life. 0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:28.960 Don't look at it as the end. Look at it 0:27:29.240 --> 0:27:32.600 as a new beginning. Somebody may have rejected you, but 0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:34.280 you can hold your head up high knowing this. 0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:38.040 God accepts you. God approves you, and He has something 0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:43.440 better in store. Friends, don't die with the treasure still 0:27:43.480 --> 0:27:44.320 on the inside. 0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:48.920 Keep pressing forward, keep reaching for new heights, give birth 0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:51.679 to what God has placed in your heart. Don't let 0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:54.440 other people talk you out of your dreams. Listen to 0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:57.159 what God says about you, not all the negative voices 0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:01.040 when you face rejection and disappointment and we all do 0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:04.720 at times. Don't stay there, don't get comfortable. Know that 0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:08.480 God has another plan. That closed door simply means God 0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:11.360 has something better in store. You may not have seen 0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:14.000 it in the past, but listen, this is a new day. 0:28:14.480 --> 0:28:18.160 You have not seen, heard, or imagined the wonderful things 0:28:18.200 --> 0:28:20.399 God has in store for you. If you will keep 0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:24.359 pressing forward and not get weighed down by the distractions 0:28:24.440 --> 0:28:27.840 and disappointments in life, but instead you keep stretching to 0:28:27.920 --> 0:28:31.280 the next level, reaching for your highest potential. If you 0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:33.640 do that, I can tell you with confidence your best 0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:34.760 days are not behind you. 0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:35.840 They're in front of you. 0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:38.200 God is going to show you more of his blessings 0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:40.400 in favor, and I believe you'll live that life of 0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:42.040 victory He has in story. 0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:44.400 Amen, we never like to. 0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:47.680 Close our broadcast without giving you an opportunity to make 0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:50.480 Jesus the lord of your life.

I make you my lord and save 0:28:59.840 --> 0:29:03.760 you friends, if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe 0:29:03.800 --> 0:29:06.520 you got born again. Get in a good Bible based church. 0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:09.440 Keep God first place. He's going to take your places 0:29:09.480 --> 0:29:10.400 that you've never dreamed of. 0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:11.840 Thank you for. 0:29:11.960 --> 0:29:15.600 Listening to the joel Ostein podcast.
