Now, I'd like 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.440 to get started each week with something funny, so listen 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.560 to this one. A minister bought a new horse and 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.200 trained it to respond to Praise the Lord meaning giddy up, 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.840 and Hallelujah meaning woe, and his. 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.000 Friends were so impressed. 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.519 He'd shout Praise the Lord, and he'd take off running 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.000 when he shouted hallelujah'd quickly stopped. 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:32.359 Well. 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.080 One day, while out riding, the horse got spooked and 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.080 took off, running straight toward a cliff. 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.840 He frantically yelled woe, but nothing happened. 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.360 He then remembered he taught the horse something different, but 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:47.240 couldn't remember what it was. He shouted Amen, Glory, bless God. Finally, 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.119 right before the edge of the cliff, he shouted Hallelujah, 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.760 and the horse came to a screeching halt. He breathed 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:58.359 a sigh of relief and said, Praise the Lord. All right, 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.800 hold your bibles up and say it like it ready, 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.320 this is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.520 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.200 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:14.320 taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.960 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:23.160 the same. I am about to receive the incorruptible, indestructible, 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.240 ever living seed of the Word of God. I'll never 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:31.320 be the same, never, never, never, I'll never be the same. 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.520 In Jesus' name, God bless you. You sound great as usual. 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:37.640 We've been talking about. 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:41.040 Breaking the strongholds of the past and how negative things 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.119 can keep getting passed down from generation to generation. 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:46.960 The decisions that we make, they don't just. 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.920 Affect ourselves, They affect our children and their children, and 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:51.400 on and on. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:53.360 And the Bible talks. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.880 About how the iniquity of the fathers can be passed 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:04.840 down for three or four generations. That simply means bad habits, addictions, negativity, 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:09.360 wrong mindsets. Those are all iniquities that can be passed down. 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.840 And some of you are struggling in areas right now 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.320 because of the choices people have. 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:16.839 Made that have gone before you. 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.000 Many times you can look back and see it somewhere 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.960 in your family line, and it's so important that we 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.039 recognize what's happening and not just be passive and think, well, 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.440 this is just the way I am Joel. It's been 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.360 in my family for years and years. No, you need 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:33.280 to rise up and. 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:34.680 Do something about it. 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.839 It may have been there for years, but the good 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:38.480 news is it doesn't have to stay there. 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:40.800 You can be the one to put a stop to it. 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.800 You can be the one to choose the blessing and 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.760 not the curse. There's been a lot of talk recently 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.919 in the news about all the research being done to 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.640 try to pinpoint certain genes, and now they're trying to 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:57.799 find out why certain traits are being passed down, traits 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.120 like addictions, eating this, or even depression. 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.360 And these researchers can. 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.240 See a definite pattern, but they can't quite put their 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.680 finger on it. Is it genetic, is it environmental? Is 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.200 it hereditary? And sure all those things can play a role, 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:17.200 but I believe the major factor is a spiritual reason. 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.919 They call it having some family baggage, but the Bible 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:25.360 calls it an iniquity. We have to understand the negative 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.520 things in our family's bloodline will keep getting passed down 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.760 from generation to generation until somebody rises up and puts 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.480 a stop to it. And it's interesting how it all 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:40.360 got started way back with Adam and Eve. They disobeyed, 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:45.080 and that decision didn't just affect themselves, it affected their children. 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.279 Do you know who the first murderer was in the Bible? 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.599 It was Adam's son King. Do you know who the 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.000 second murderer was? It was one of Kin's descendants, a 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.800 man by the name of Atlamk. That iniquity kept getting 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.160 passed down through generations of King's offspring. 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:03.799 It was in their family line. 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.240 And many of the things we struggle with today, it's 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:11.080 because somebody somewhere in our family line gave into it 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:12.880 and now we're having to deal with it. 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.120 And no, we shouldn't use that as an excuse, but. 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.680 We should recognize what's happening, and we need to be 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.200 more determined than ever that we are going to be 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.359 the ones to put a stop to it. I was 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.560 talking to this young lady the other day, and she 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.960 struggles with anorexia, and she explained to me how her 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.520 mother had it, and her aunt's had it, and her 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:33.360 sisters had. 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:34.880 It, and cousins and on and on. 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:39.800 This one sickness was practically tearing this family apart. And listen, 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:44.560 that's not just a coincidence. That's a negative, destructive spirit 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.960 that keeps getting passed down and it will continue until 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.400 somebody makes the choice for the blessing and not the curse. 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.880 And that's not just a physical battle. That is a 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.560 spiritual battle as well. You've got to take authority over 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.600 those things in the name of Jesus. We've all heard 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.680 about the Kennedy curse. The media makes a big deal 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.360 about it, and it started way back, even before President 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:13.160 Kennedy was assassinated in nineteen sixty three. There were other 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:17.440 untimely deaths in that family, and of course recently it's 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.160 come to light with the death of his son, John F. 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.559 Kennedy Junior. And I don't believe that that's just bad luck. 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.960 I don't believe that's just a coincidence. 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.440 That is a spiritual force that's trying to drag that 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:30.160 family down. 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:34.200 And I would encourage you to examine the areas in 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.480 your life where you constantly struggle, in the areas where 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.360 it seems like something's trying to drag your family down. 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:48.720 Maybe it's divorce, poverty, addictions, abused, depression, even sicknesses. I 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:52.680 have this friend and practically every male in his family 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:54.760 has had a heart attack and. 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.800 Died by the time they were fifty years old. 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:01.239 And he's about forty eight right now. Imagine how uptight 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.640 and worried he is. But I told him, just what 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.880 I'm telling you today. You can be the one to 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.720 break that curse. I told him, don't you dare start 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.720 planning your funeral. Don't you dare start planning on having 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:12.480 that heart attack. 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.600 You stand against it. I said, you eat right. 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:19.360 You exercise, and you say every day with long life, 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:24.280 God is satisfying me and showing me his salvation. Friends, 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.040 you got to make the choice for. 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:27.600 The blessing and not the curse. 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.360 You got to recognize what's happening and do something about it. 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.600 Don't just keep passing it down from generation to generation. 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.120 And the truth is it may not have been from 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.839 any great wrong that was done. Sometimes these things can 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.680 come just because some event that has occurred where somebody 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.240 opened the door to the enemy. Maybe they opened the 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.440 door to fear, to anxiety, to worry. I heard an 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.640 interesting story about this young couple and their son was 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.000 just starting the first grade. 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:57.880 He was so excited about it. 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.120 It's very outgoing and energetic, had a bunch of friends. 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.400 But after a couple of months, he started having these 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.760 real bad panic attacks there at the school. He'd get 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.920 all upset and afraid that his parents weren't going to 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.400 come back and pick him up, and so they'd have 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.360 to get the parents on the phone and they would 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.800 tell him how much they loved him, and of course 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.880 they're going to be back as soon as school was over. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.319 But they just could not calm him down. That didn't work, 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:23.559 and so time. 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.800 After time these parents would have to rush up to 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.880 the school and assure their child that everything was okay, 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.800 and this family was the most loving family you can imagine. 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:33.680 There was no. 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.440 Reason in the natural for the child to feel this way. 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.400 They had never left him any place before and never 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:43.079 shown him anything except love and affection. But it continued 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.960 month after month, and it got so bad that when 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:47.720 the child was at home, he. 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.360 Would not leave his mother's side. 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.400 He would follow her from room to room, and she 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.679 went outside, he was right there, and if for some 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.520 reason he couldn't find her, he would just burst into 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.199 another one of these panic attacks. 0:09:58.400 --> 0:09:59.960 And the couple was so frustrated. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.200 You know, really it is just breaking their heart. But 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.080 one day the father was talking to his father, the 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:10.080 child's grandfather, and as he explained the situation, it was 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.920 just like a light turned on in the grandfather's mind. 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.120 He said, son, I know exactly what's wrong with your child. 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.480 He said, When I was a little boy in the 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.360 first grade, my father suddenly died, and I was so 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.400 afraid and so scared that when my mother would try 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.040 to walk me to school, I would cry so hard, 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.840 thinking that she may not come back. Many times she'd 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:33.440 just turn around and take me back home. The point 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:36.800 I'm making is that fear didn't originate with that little boy. 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.320 It was passed down because of that traumatic event in 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.320 the grandfather's life. I'm not trying to get spooky and 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.480 scare anybody. The point I'm making is that things can 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.760 get passed down that we didn't have anything to do with, 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.760 and you can't just deal with it in the physical sense. 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.199 You can't just try to use your sheer will power 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:58.680 to overcome that is a spiritual battle. This couple began 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.520 to really pray every day. They bound the stronghold of fear, 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.520 and they stood against that curse and today that young 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:09.120 man is completely for a living a normal, healthy life. 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.600 But that's why I encourage you to examine the areas 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:13.319 in your life. 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:14.560 Where you continually struggle. 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.319 I know people today they are living under a spirit 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.920 of depression, and it keeps getting passed. 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.040 From generation to generation. 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:26.800 No joy, no victory, no enthusiasm. I've even seen it 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:31.120 in little children. All these other kids can be out laughing, playing, 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.120 having a good time, but this other child is over here, 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:38.320 serious and solemn, not even enjoying his childhood. That's a 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.320 spirit of depression. I've known men that have everything in 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.319 the world going for them, a great family, they make 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.520 plenty of money, they're accomplishing their dreams, but they're just 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:49.920 never really happy. 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:51.200 They're never fulfilled. 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.840 It's like something's always bugging them and just stealing their 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:56.240 joy and peace and victory. 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:57.760 Friends, that's not normal. 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.640 That is a spirit of defeat, a spirit of discouragement. 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.559 You've got to do like that young couple and rise 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.720 up and stand against it. You can be the one 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.719 to break the curse in your family. Don't just sit 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.400 back and say, well, Joe, we've always been negative, or 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.880 I've always had this addiction, or everybody in my family 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.839 gets married and divorced two or three, four different times. No, 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.120 why don't you be the one to say enough is enough. 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.920 I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. And 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.560 as for me and my family, we're choosing the blessing 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:32.600 and not the curse. Amen, why don't you be the 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:36.040 one to stand against the forces of darkness and to 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.600 break those strongholds that are keeping you in bondage? See 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.080 the scripture says they're in Proverbs twenty six to two 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:46.280 that the curse does not come without a cause. That 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:51.640 means when we have issues to deal with, addictions, bad habits, dysfunctions, 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.480 either we've made bad choices or somebody in our family 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.880 line has made some bad choices. But there's a reason 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.080 a child grows up to become an alcoholic. There's a 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.920 reason a child becomes an abusive parent. There's a reason 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.360 a young man is sent off to prison. Doesn't just 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:13.160 randomly happen. Somebody somewhere opened the door to the enemy. 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:17.240 If you're struggling with things today, that does not make 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.800 you a bad person. You should not go around guilty 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.959 and condemned because you've got some things to overcome. Many 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.440 times wasn't even your fault. Somebody else made the poor 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.200 choices and now you're having to deal with it. But 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.040 I would challenge you, don't use that as an excuse 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.400 to stay the way you are. You've got to dig 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.360 your heels in and do something about it. And one 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:44.320 of the first steps to overcoming is to recognize what 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:45.200 you're dealing with. 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:47.480 Identify it, don't ignore it. 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:49.920 Don't just try to sweep it under the rug and 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:51.360 hope that it's going to go away. 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.400 No, you've got to call a spade a spade. 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.920 If you're lazy and undisciplined, don't make excuses. Just admit 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.079 it and say, you know what, I'm gonna deal with this. 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:05.040 If you've got an anger problem, or if you're loosing 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.480 your morals, or maybe you don't treat people right, don't 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.160 try to convince yourself that you do. 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:11.800 Admit it and deal with it. 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.120 The scripture says in James five point sixteen, confess your 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:20.040 faults one to another, and pray for one another that 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.200 you may be healed. Notice, you've got to be honest 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:27.480 enough with yourself to confess your faults. And sometimes you're 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.200 gonna have to find a good Christian friend and say, 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.640 you know what, I need your help. I'm struggling in 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.880 this area and I need you to pray with me. 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.520 So often we do just the opposite. 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.320 We think, Man, I'm not gonna tell anybody about this, 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:41.720 what would they think of me. 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:42.680 I'd be embarrassed. 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.120 No, swallow your pride and get the help you need 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.840 so you can be free. I know this man, and 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:52.800 he came out of a very violent, angry home, and 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.520 he ended up getting hooked on drugs and selling drugs himself, 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.840 and he was just living a very angry life altogether. 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.760 But to make a real long story short, one day 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.440 he gave his life to the Lord and he started 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.600 pastoring this urn and he was doing great. It was 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:12.600 growing and growing. He was well respected in the community, 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.200 going all over the place sharing his story how God 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:18.280 had really changed his life. But what people did not 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:22.600 know was that he still had a very serious anger problem. 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:28.280 God had delivered him from all these other bad habits, addictions, drugs, alcoholism, 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.800 but he still really struggled with this anger and he 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.920 would never show it in public, but if something went 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:38.280 wrong at home, he'd just go into a fit of rage. 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:41.440 I mean, it wasn't normal. He was violent, and he 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:45.560 told how he could not control it. Many times the smallest, 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.240 most insignificant things would just set him off and he 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.800 would erupt, and he was very abusive to his wife 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.640 physically and verbally. He would throw things and just treat 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.960 her so bad, and really it was a very dangerous situation. 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.320 If he would finally calm down, she would say to him, honey, 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.920 we have got to go get some help. We've got 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.960 to go talk to somebody about this problem. But he 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.320 told how he was too embarrassed. He said, Man, I'm 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.440 the pastor of the church. I'm supposed to be the example. 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.760 How could I ever tell anybody I've got this terrible problem. 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.880 But see the scripture says confess your faults so you 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.920 can be healed. And some of you today I don't 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.000 mean this wrong, but you will never overcome what you're 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:33.080 struggling with all by yourself. You've got to find a friend, 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.480 a mentor, a pastor, a counselor, find somebody that will 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.560 stand with you, find somebody that will pray with you, 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.320 find somebody that will hold you accountable. And the thing 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.120 you've got to understand is just because you've got some 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:48.280 things you're dealing with. 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:50.720 That doesn't mean that you're a bad person. 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.640 And we have to get past this misconception that because 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.560 we love God, we come to church and people look 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.920 up to us and man, we're supposed to be perfect. 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.240 No, it doesn't always work that way. 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.359 And if you have an anger problem today, or if 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.359 you have a problem watching things that you shouldn't, maybe 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.360 you've got some kind of hidden addiction, or maybe you're 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.440 in a relationship you know you shouldn't be in, let 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.440 me challenge you. Don't try to beat that on your own, 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.160 and don't hide it because you're too embarrassed. Find a 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:24.840 good Christian person that will stand in faith with you. 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.960 And I'm not saying that you have to announce it 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.800 to the world, but you need to find one person 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.879 that you can really trust, and as you do your part, 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:36.240 God will help you. 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:37.840 To overcome this. 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.120 Pastor told how the reason that he wouldn't tell anybody 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.680 for a long time was because he thought something was 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:47.240 wrong with him. He couldn't understand how God had delivered 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:50.160 him from all these other bad addictions, but he still 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:54.040 had this serious anger problem. And he told how when 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.960 he was enraged, even when he was out of control. 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.879 Deep down on the inside, he would be saying to him, 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:01.680 why am I doing this? 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.120 Why can't I stop? What is wrong with me? 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.240 The problem was that anger had been in his family 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.520 line a long time. It wasn't as easy to overcome 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.000 as some of those other habits, and he had to 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.720 get past the fact of what everybody was gonna think 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:17.080 of him. 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.400 And he went and got some help, And. 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.600 As he confessed his faults, and as he stood against 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:26.520 the forces of darkness, God set him free completely. Today 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:28.640 he's one of the most kind, gentle people you will 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.760 ever meet. And in the same way, you can beat 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.000 anything that's come against you, doesn't. 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:34.479 Matter what it is. 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:37.600 There's no addiction that's too hard for our God. There's 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:41.000 no stronghold that he can't set you free from. Doesn't 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.440 matter how long you've had it, doesn't matter how many 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:44.960 times you've tried and failed. 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:46.280 Today is a new day. 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:50.200 And if you will be honest with yourself and recognize 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:53.560 what you're dealing with and find somebody to hold you accountable, 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.399 then you too can start living under the blessing and 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.919 not the curse. You can break that junk off of 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:02.320 you and off of your descendants. You may be here today, 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.400 and you were raised in a home just like this man, 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:10.320 where it was violent, angry, negative, abusive. Maybe all you 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:14.520 saw a model growing up were bad habits, addictions, and abuse. 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.239 But don't use that as an excuse to stay the 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.400 way you are. You may have been dealt a very 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.520 tough hand in life to deal with. Maybe the way 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.920 you were raised is the reason you act a certain way, 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:31.000 may be the reason you get angry and you really struggle, 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:33.880 But thank God, you don't have to stay that way. 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:36.680 Let me challenge you to take. 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:40.600 Responsibility for your actions. God has given you your own 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:44.919 free will. You can choose to change. You can choose 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:48.439 to set the new standard, and every right choice you 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:50.879 make you start to overturn. 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.560 The wrong choices that other people have made. 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.399 Every time you resist that temptation, you are one step 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.680 closer to your victory. You may have a very negative 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:02.960 history tread behind you, but you don't have to perpetuate it. 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.760 We can't change the past, but we can change the 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:12.639 future by making right choices today. But the sad thing is, 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:16.760 most of the time, hurting people end up hurting other people. 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.760 You would think when we come out of a negative environment, 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:21.680 we would be so quick to change. 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:23.720 You hear people say it all the time. 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:25.800 Well, man, I'm never gonna raise my kids like that, 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:29.080 or I'll never treat my wife the way my father 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.679 treated my mother. But the truth is, more often than not, 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.879 we end up doing exactly what we said we'd never do. 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.960 It's because that spirit is being passed down. If you 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:43.880 were raised in an angry, violent home, unless you rise 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.720 up and break that thing, there's a real good chance 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:50.080 you will treat your children the same exact way. I 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.840 know people that were abused physically and verbally growing up, 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.600 and you would think, since they suffered so much and 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.240 went through all that pain, they would stay far away 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.359 from it. But all the studies tell us people that 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.760 have been abused are the most likely to become abusers. 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:06.960 Why is that. 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:10.199 It's not because they want to they know how destructive 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:14.600 it is. It's because that negative spirit keeps getting passed 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:17.679 down from generation to generation. But thank God, you and 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:20.320 I can do something about it. The Scripture says in 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:23.800 Ephesians that our fight is not against flesh and blood, 0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:25.960 but we fight in the spiritual realm. 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:27.560 It is a spiritual battle. 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:30.960 You've got to rise up and say I'm taking authority 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:33.320 over this thing, and I am not going to live 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:37.040 this way. And always remember, greater is he that's in 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:39.639 you than he that's in the world. That means you 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.640 can do what you need to do. Don't just sit 0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:46.000 back and accept the status quo. No, rise up and 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:49.159 do something about it. We can't change the events of 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:52.119 the past, but we can change our futures. 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:52.359 Now. 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:54.199 I don't know about you, but I want to make 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:55.480 it easier on my children. 0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:57.320 I want to make it better. 0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:01.520 For my grandchildren and for future generation. What I find 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:06.280 interesting is women that were raised in abusive environments where 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.720 they weren't treated by their father or by the men 0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.959 in their life, when they grow up, most of the time, 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:14.520 they will be attracted to a man just like that, 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:19.120 somebody that continues to abuse and mistreat them. Studies tell 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:22.679 us that women very often will marry somebody just like 0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:26.320 their father. And that's why it's so important fathers that 0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:29.240 we go out of our way to love and respect 0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:34.200 our wives. Our children should see us being kind and courteous. 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:36.800 You should open the car door for your wife, do 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:40.320 everything you can, knowing there's a very good chance your 0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:43.399 daughter is going to gravitate to somebody that's just like you. 0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:47.600 I know Victoria's father, he treated her like a queen. 0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:49.399 I mean when she was going up, he was so 0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:51.840 kind and considerate and loving. 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:53.080 He still is to this day. 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:54.920 When she used to live at home, he'd go get 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:57.679 her car filled up with gas ford, bring her breakfast 0:22:57.680 --> 0:22:59.439 in bed, anything she needed. 0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:02.399 He was all there. And I know I'm not perfect. 0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:03.480 I'm probably not like that. 0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:06.119 But I hear Victoria saying all the time, Julie is 0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:09.080 just like my father. But see, that's what I want 0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:11.439 my children to see. I want them to see me 0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:15.600 being good to my wife, loving her, respecting her, going out. 0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:16.840 Of my way to her. 0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:22.840 I know that is planning a seed in their heart. 0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:25.679 I know that's what my daughter is going to expect 0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:27.880 out of a man. That's what I want to pass 0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:30.800 down to future generations. But really, when we hear a 0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:33.639 message like this today, we've got to be careful that 0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:36.320 we don't get out of balance and just blame everything 0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:39.720 on the past. Well, you know, it's not my fault, 0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:42.679 it's how I was raised. No, don't fall into that trap. 0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:45.960 So many people play the blame game today. Well I'm 0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:49.000 depressed because my mother was depressed, or I can't break 0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:52.439 these addictions because everybody in my family has these addictions. No, 0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:56.639 take responsibility for your actions. You may have had some 0:23:56.880 --> 0:24:00.240 unfair things in the past that have made it more difficult, 0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:04.240 but your attitude should be I'm not gonna sit around 0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:07.080 and moan and complain about how I was raised or 0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:07.720 about how. 0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:08.560 Somebody treated me. 0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:11.520 No, this is the life God has given me, and 0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:13.040 I'm gonna make the very most of it. 0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:14.240 I'm gonna start making. 0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:19.200 Good choices starting today. I have never seen a day 0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:22.199 when people pass the blame as much as they do today. 0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:25.800 You hear excuses all the time. Well I'm angry because 0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:28.760 you made me angry, or I didn't pay my bills 0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:31.680 last month because I didn't get that raise I was expecting, 0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:34.800 or ladies, have you ever heard this one? I'm irritable 0:24:34.800 --> 0:24:39.600 today because it's my time of the month. I've got PMS. 0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:46.960 What does that stand for? Pretty mean, sister. But please 0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:51.160 understand the message today is not about passing the blame. Well, 0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:54.200 I always knew something was wrong with me. Jeel told 0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:55.480 me it's my parents' fault. 0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:58.080 No, that may be part of it. 0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:00.399 But what I'm also telling you is, if you can 0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:02.880 do something about it. And we've heard a whole lot 0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:06.639 about the generational curse. But what's just as important is 0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:10.160 our generational choice. We don't have to stay the way 0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:15.960 we are. And some of you today, all you've seen 0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:20.359 model growing up was defeat and mediocrity, people that didn't 0:25:20.359 --> 0:25:24.480 pay their bills, arguing in strife, abuse and addictions. 0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:26.920 And if you're not careful, you'll just. 0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:29.120 Think that's the norm and you'll do the same thing. 0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:33.000 The problem is the culture you were raised in was 0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:36.560 not right. That culture was negative. You can't just sit 0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:39.440 back and accept it. You got to set a news standard. 0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:43.119 You got to take responsibility for your actions and don't 0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:46.160 just do things because that's all you've ever seen done. 0:25:46.960 --> 0:25:49.840 I heard about this couple that just recently had gotten married, 0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:52.800 and the young man noticed that when his wife would 0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:55.640 cook a ham, she would always cut the ends off 0:25:55.640 --> 0:25:58.200 the hem, and he thought that was so strange, and 0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:00.600 he wondered why she was waste than that part of 0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:02.359 the ham. And one day he got his nerve up 0:26:02.359 --> 0:26:04.000 and he asked her, honey, why do you cut the 0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:06.359 ends off the ham? And she said, well, my mother 0:26:06.480 --> 0:26:08.520 made the best hands in all the world, and she 0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:10.000 always cut the ends off the hand. 0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:12.040 He said, well, I understand, but do you know why 0:26:12.040 --> 0:26:15.359 she didn't? She said no. He said, well, let's call your. 0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:17.239 Mom up and ass So they called her up and said, hey, 0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:18.840 you know what. My wife cuts the ends off the 0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:20.960 ham and she said she does it because you did it. 0:26:21.000 --> 0:26:21.719 Why do you do it? 0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:24.680 And she said, well, my mother made the best hands 0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:27.000 in all the world, and she always cut the ends 0:26:27.000 --> 0:26:27.520 off the hand. 0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:29.359 He said why, I understand that, but do you know 0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:31.879 why she did? She said no, I have no idea. 0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:34.399 He said, let's call up grandmother, and so they call 0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:36.400 the grandmother up and he explained it all. My wife 0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:38.680 cuts the ends off because your daughter does. 0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:40.399 And she said she does it because you do it. 0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:42.680 Can you please tell us why did you always cut 0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:45.080 the ends off the hand? Grandmother laughed and said that's 0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:47.080 easy because my pen was too little. 0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:53.159 The point I'm. 0:26:53.040 --> 0:26:57.280 Making is, don't just do what you've seen people do before. 0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:02.840 Find out why you doing things. If you can get 0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:06.080 serious one more minute. Some of you today you're allowing 0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:09.080 strife and discord in your home. There's always this arguing 0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:12.240 in fighting, and it's because it's the way you were raised. 0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:15.480 But understand that's not God's best. Why don't you set 0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:18.800 a new standard. Some of you don't pay your bills 0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:21.040 on time. You don't have the integrity you should, and 0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:24.120 it's because nobody in your family did. But please, don't 0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:26.280 just do the same thing. Why don't you raise the bar. 0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:30.080 Some of you always negative and critical, and it's simply because. 0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:31.720 You came out of such a negative environment. 0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:34.040 You don't know any better. But no, don't pass that 0:27:34.119 --> 0:27:36.240 junk down. You've got to choose the blessing and not 0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:39.400 the curse. So my message to you today is dig 0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:41.359 your heels in and put a stop to any of 0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:42.200 the negative. 0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:43.680 Junk that's in your family's bloodline. 0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:46.040 May have been there for years and years, but today 0:27:46.160 --> 0:27:47.880 is a new day and you can be the one 0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:51.199 to make a difference. And remember this is a spiritual battle. 0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:54.280 You've got to take authority over all the strongholds that 0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:54.960 are keeping. 0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:55.600 You in bondage. 0:27:55.800 --> 0:27:57.639 One of the first things you got to do is 0:27:57.680 --> 0:28:01.080 recognize what it is, identified, get it out in the open, 0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:03.439 and deal with it. Friends, God has a place of 0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:05.320 victory in store for every one of you. 0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:06.600 And you may come from. 0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:09.960 A long line of negative things, but always know this. 0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:11.440 Every right choice you make. 0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:14.800 You are turning around the wrong choices other people had made. 0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:19.280 So pass down only good things. Take responsibility for your actions. 0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:22.159 If you do that, you'll see God's blessings in favor 0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:24.560 and you'll experience the victories He has in store. 0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:26.560 Amen, how many of you receive it this morning? 0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:30.760 Would we never like to close our broadcast without giving 0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:32.359 you an opportunity. 0:28:31.760 --> 0:28:33.760 To make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:28:33.960 --> 0:28:38.080 Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I 0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:42.800 repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make 0:28:42.880 --> 0:28:46.200 you my Lord and savior.
