I like to 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.000 start with something kind of funny. And I heard about 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.000 these three sons that left home, went out and prospered, 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.840 and they came back to talk about the gifts that 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.840 they gave their elderly mother. The first one said, I 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.560 bought mother a big, beautiful house. 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.600 The second son said, well, I bought her a brand new, 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:33.520 fancy car. 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.840 The third one said, well, since I know mother loves 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.440 to read the Bible and now she can barely see, 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:43.520 I got her a specially trained parent that can quote 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.120 the entire Bible. A few days later, they got a 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.440 letter from their mom said, Milton, the house you built 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.280 me was way too big. Gerald, the car you bought 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.639 me was way too small. But my dearest Donald, your 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.480 simple gift was my favorite. 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.000 The chicken was delicious. 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:03.040 Sun, God, hold up your bibles and say it like you, meaning, 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:04.600 this is my Bible. 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.040 I am what it says I am. I have what it. 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.760 Says I have, I can do what it says I 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.160 can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:19.600 I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.840 I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:24.440 bless you. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.720 I want to talk to you today about the legacy 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.919 that you're leaving. We need to learn to think more generationally. 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.760 The decisions that we make today, they don't just affect us. 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:41.840 They affect our children, our grandchildren, even generations to come. 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:46.000 And too often we just think about the here and now. Well, Joel, 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:46.800 it's my life. 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.760 I know I have some bad habits. I know I'm 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.200 kind of hot tempered. I know don't treat everybody right. 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:53.080 But that's okay. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:54.000 I can handle it. 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.400 But the problem with that kind of thinking is it's 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.480 not just hurting you, it's going to make get more 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:04.000 difficult on those that come after you. The things that 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.440 we don't overcome, the issues we leave on the table, 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.560 so to speak, they get passed down for the next 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:15.000 generation to deal with. No man, no woman dies unto themselves. 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:19.280 The addictions, the bad attitudes, the wrong mindsets, they all 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:23.120 get passed down. But the good news is every right 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:27.839 decision we make, every time we resist temptation, every time 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.840 we honor God, not only are we going to come 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.960 up higher, but we're making it a little easier on 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.840 those that come after us. And each one of us 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.320 has a spiritual bank account. 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:40.839 And by the way we. 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:45.680 Live, we're either storing up equity or we're storing up iniquity. 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:51.440 Iniquity would be anything good, our integrity, our determination, our godliness. 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:55.880 That's storing up blessings. On the other hand, iniquity would 0:04:55.920 --> 0:05:00.440 be our bad habits, addictions, selfishness, lack of disas scipline. 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.320 But all of these things, either good or bad, are 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.680 going to be passed down to future generations. And when 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.160 we think about our legacy, we need to see it 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.360 as being more than just our life. 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.159 A better way to look at it is our life 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:14.840 is just a. 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:19.400 Few laps in the marathon that our family line is running. 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.800 When I get done with my life, I'm gonna hand 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:25.320 that baton to my children. And in that baton it's 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:29.479 gonna be full of not only my physical DNA, my traits, 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.320 my hair, color, my size, my weight. It's gonna have 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:36.039 in it my spiritual and emotional DNA. It's gonna have 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:41.720 my tendencies, my attitudes, my habits, my mindsets. My children 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.080 will take the baton, run a few laps, hand it 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.279 to their children, and on and on, and every lap 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:51.599 that we run with purpose and passion and integrity is 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.599 one less lap for those that come after us. 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.080 And we need to think about the big picture. 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.360 I don't know about you, but I want to leave 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.160 my family life line better off than they were before. 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.839 I don't want to drag around being selfish with addictions, 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.560 with bad habits. I want to make it easier on 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.800 those that come after me. And I realized, you don't 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.080 all have children, but you're going to live on through 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.200 the people you influence. 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:17.960 You have a family line. 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.800 Your habits, your attitudes, what you stand for, that's going to. 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:22.840 All be passed down. 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:27.640 It's transferred through our blood. And even medical science is 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.800 starting to confirm this. I read an interesting study the 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.800 other day. It was done in nineteen ninety three by 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.560 the United States military. Now I don't know that I 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.560 fully understand it all, but it's very fascinating. They were 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.279 curious about what really does get passed down. We know 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:49.200 that our physical traits do, but what about emotional, mental, 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:54.120 spiritual characteristics, What about bad attitudes and addictions, or what 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.600 about integrity, compassion, godliness? 0:06:57.880 --> 0:06:59.400 Can that really be passed down. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.000 Well, they took some white blood cells from a volunteer 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.880 and they carefully placed them in a test tube, and 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.600 then they put a probe from a light detector test 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.000 down in that test tube. 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:12.800 And of course, the probe. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:16.000 Measures a person's emotional response. And they had this same 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.520 volunteer go a couple of doors down and watch some 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:20.760 very violent. 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.000 Scenes on television. It was an old war movie. 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.240 And when this man watched the scenes, even though the 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.240 blood that was being tested was in another room, when 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.320 he got all up tight and tense, that light detector 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:37.400 test shot off the page. It was detecting his emotional 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.880 response even though the blood was no longer in his body. 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.320 They did this with person after person and had the 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:49.320 exact same results. Their final conclusion was the blood cells 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:53.080 seemed to remember where they came from. And I was 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:57.600 thinking about if sicknesses and addictions and wrong mindsets can 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:02.000 be passed down, how much more can God's blessings and 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.480 favor and good habits be passed down through our blood. 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.680 And it's good to understand the generational curse, but we 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.040 need to make sure that we understand the generational blessing. 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:13.960 And I know right now. 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.920 Much of the favor and blessing on my life. I 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.960 didn't accumulate all on my own. It was because my 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.800 father passed it down my mother. They left me not 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:29.360 just a physical inheritance, they left me a spiritual inheritance. 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.800 We build on the past. My father put me forty 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.800 years down the road when he handed us this ministry. 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.160 And my dream would be to place my children far 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.439 far down the road. And I'm not talking about just financially. 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.280 I'm talking about in their attitudes, in their work habits, 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.800 in their character, in their walk with God. And what 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.920 I want us to see today is it's all connected. 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:58.000 You are so in seeds for future generations. And whether 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:02.079 you realize it or not, anything you do counts. Every 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:06.520 time you persevere, every time you're faithful, every time you 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.959 tie your income, every time you serve others, you are 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:10.840 making a difference. 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:12.839 You're storing up equity. 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.240 And it's easy in life to think, well, Joel, I'm 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.600 just a businessman. I'm just a housewife, or Joel, I'm 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.839 just a single mom raising my kids going to work. 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.360 Don't kid yourself, I'm not going to do anything great. 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:28.280 Be realistic. You've got to learn to think more generationally. 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.080 The fact that you're a hard worker, the fact that 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.000 you're faithful, the fact that you're giving it you're all. 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.120 You are sowing seeds for those that come after you. 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.320 And the truth is you may not see it all 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.439 come to pass in your lifetime. You may very well 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.960 be so in a seed for a child or for 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.000 a grandchild to do something great. 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.520 Don't get discouraged. It's your family legacy. It's not just. 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.080 You, it's even generations to come. I think about my 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:59.640 grandmother on my father's side. She was a very hard worker. 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.600 My grandparents were cotton farmers and they lost everything they 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.320 had in the Great Depression. They didn't have any money, 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:10.240 any food, any future really to speak of. And my 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:14.560 grandmother worked twelve hours a day, making ten cents an 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:18.480 hour washing people's clothes, a dollar twenty a day. But 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.680 do you know, grandmother never complained about it. She didn't 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.360 go around with a poor old me mentality. She just 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.960 kept doing her best, giving it her all. She was determined, 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.280 she was persistent, and she may not have realized it 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.040 way back then, but she was so in seeds for 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:39.720 her children. She was passing down hard work, determination, persistence, 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.800 and my father was able to build on those qualities, 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.120 and not only that, he took it one step further. 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.559 Because grandmother laid the foundation, Daddy was able to break 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.959 out of that rud and he took our family to 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.160 a whole new level. And the fact is, my grandmother 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.640 never really enjoyed the blessings and the favor that we're 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.800 seeing today. But had she not been willing to pay 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.120 the price, I don't know that I'd be standing here today. 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.120 And a lot of times we tend to get the credit, 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:09.840 but we need to learn to look back and say, 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.200 you know what, somebody gave me some help along the way. 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:17.400 Now I know today I can see some of those same. 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.000 Qualities that she had in my life. And I'm not bragging. 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:22.760 I know I didn't get them on my own. She 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:24.000 helped to pass them down. 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.040 And my grandmother, she didn't. 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.199 Have a lot of fanfare, she didn't get a lot 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.200 of glory, but I can tell you she ran some 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:35.280 very important laps in our family legacy. When she passed 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:40.480 that baton down, it had in it determination, persistence, I 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:44.760 never give up, attitude, I can do mentality now, it's 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.920 instilled in our blood. And I believe four or five 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.160 generations from now, people in my family line are going 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.920 to be better off all because of grandmother Oa Steine. 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.559 And in the same way, when you get up early 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.320 and work hard, when you come to church, even though 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.720 you didn't feel like it, you dig your heels in 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:06.960 and resist that temptation. Please understand you are making a difference. 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.920 Don't be so shortsighted and so ingrown that if it 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.120 doesn't happen right now, you're not gonna be happy. 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.439 No, you're so in seeds. Hey you so, Joe Man. 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.160 I'm working hard trying to send my kids to college 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.840 and I'm so tired. Don't complain about that. Keep being faithful. 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.840 You don't know what your child's gonna do. You don't 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.920 know how God may use them to impact the world. 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.240 Somebody in your family line is going to be a 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:36.320 great businessman, a great leader, a great teacher, a great minister, 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:37.360 a great author. 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.959 It may be this generation, or it may be four 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:40.520 or five. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.000 Generations, but you know what it's going to be, in 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.080 part because you were willing to pay the price. And 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:50.360 anytime you see somebody that's successful, anytime you see somebody 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.960 that's accomplished something great, they may be smart they may 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.640 be talented, but don't kid yourself. They didn't do it 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.920 all by themselves. Somebody along the way paid the price. 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:04.360 Somebody passed down those qualities that they needed. And when 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.920 you live your life with excellence, when you go the 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:10.719 extra mile, nobody else may be seeing it. It may 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.400 look like you're not reaping any of the benefits. But 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:18.079 know this in your blood, be informed. In your DNA. 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:22.720 Is that fortitude, that strength, that excellent spirit, and it's 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.520 going to be passed down from generation to generation. 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.040 You were making a difference. 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.240 I have a friend that pastors a church in another state. 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.120 He and his wife started the church fourteen or fifteen 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.840 years ago and they have a couple of thousand people coming. 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:41.400 It's a strong, healthy church. But this friend has big dreams. 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:41.600 In his heart. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.840 He wants to see his church grow to thousands and thousands. 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.680 He has a dream of writing books that will impact 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.560 the world, and on and on. And a few months back, 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.360 he was very discouraged. Things had kind of leveled off. 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.880 Not too much exciting was happening. The church wasn't growing 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.640 very much anymore. And on top of that, when he 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.720 drives to his church, he has to pass by another 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.559 very large church, and this other church has fifteen twenty 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:12.240 thousand people coming, big beautiful campus, all these buildings. Really, 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.560 it's exactly what he's streaming for now. On this one 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.880 particular day, he was sitting there in traffic looking at 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.240 this big, beautiful campus and it was kind of like 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.120 rubbing salt in the wound. He was so discouraged, and 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:27.920 he said, God, it's just not fair here. I've poured 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.800 my heart and soul into this dream that you've given me, 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.160 but I don't think I'll ever measure up to this 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:34.280 man's success. 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.360 Why won't my church grow? He was being very honest. 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.520 He said, God, I feel like I'm being lapped two 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.600 or three times. I don't even know if I should 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:42.400 stay in the race. 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:43.720 And he said. 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.040 God spoke something back to him, not out loud, but 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:50.320 right down in here. He said, son, what would you 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:54.000 think if your son saw your dream come to pass? 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.960 What would you think if your daughter wrote a book 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.920 that impacted the world. How would you feel children had 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:04.280 the same success that you were longing for. His eyes 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.000 lit up. He said, God, that would be great. That 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:11.120 would be a dream come true. And this changed his perspective. 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.680 He began to think more generationally. He began to think, 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:19.000 maybe I'm sowing the seeds for my children. Maybe I'm 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:24.040 laying the groundwork for my grandchildren to do something great. Remember, 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.720 every lap that we run is one less lap for 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:31.560 those that come after us. Every day you stay faithful, 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:36.560 every test you pass, every obstacle you overcome, you're not 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:37.320 only coming. 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.600 Up higher, but you're storing up equity. You're storing up blessings. 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:44.920 You're making it easier on your children, on your grandchildren. Now, 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:46.840 I believe what God was saying to him and to 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:50.160 us is never give us. Keep pressing forwards. You got 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.920 big dreams. It may not come to pass exactly like 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.520 you would have thought, but you don't know the seeds 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.120 that you're sowing for your sons and your daughters. 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:00.040 The interesting thing is. 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.440 He's the pastor of the church where this man had 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.680 to pass the big church. He was a fourth generation pastor. 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.640 His father, his grandfather, and his great grandfather all had 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.440 smaller churches, a few hundred people. Why did all of 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.720 a sudden this man have such a large church making 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:23.360 such an impact. I believe it's because somebody paid the price. Yes, 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:27.240 he's talented, he's gifted, but his forefathers, those. 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:28.160 That went before him. 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.880 They stored up the equity, and now the favors being 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:32.760 released on him. 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:34.960 Now he's receiving the benefits. 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.480 Let me ask you today, are you willing to pay 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:43.920 the price so that your children, your grandchildren, generations to come, 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:45.480 can go up higher. 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:46.560 And accomplish more. 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.760 I know, if you're like me, there's nothing that would 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.880 make you any happier than to see your children go 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.240 further than you thought possible, or to see your grandchildren 0:16:56.560 --> 0:17:00.600 go further than you ever even dreamed of. So my 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:04.719 message to you is to stay faithful, keep pressing forward 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.280 because you're so in sieved for those things that come 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:12.840 to pass, and don't get frustrated if you don't see 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:16.040 it all come to pass in your lifetime. I found 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:20.439 many times you're gonna see further than you're going to go. 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.040 God's going to put something bigger in you than you 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:24.480 can accomplish on your own. 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.200 And don't be surprised if your children or your grandchildren 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:31.880 don't come along and finish what you started. I heard 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:36.240 somebody say, nothing truly great can ever be accomplished in 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.479 just one lifetime. I think about even with my father, 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.800 many times he said, one day, we're going to build 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.840 an auditorium for twenty thousand people. One day we're going 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:47.880 to have a big place where we can all come 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:51.440 together and worship. Well, Daddy had the vision, but God 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.480 used his children to complete it. And had Daddy not 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:59.560 stayed faithful, had he not stayed determined and just kept 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.520 that e slint spirit, then I don't believe it would 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.320 have ever come to pass. He had to sow the seeds, 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:07.840 he had to pave the way. And I know you've 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:09.800 got big dreams in your heart. I know you've got 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:14.600 a big vision. Keep pressing toward it, stay faithful. 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:16.320 In the natural. You may not see how it could 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.040 ever come to pass, but you don't know. God may 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:20.800 have put that in you to get it started. 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.160 And your children, your grandchildren are gonna come and take 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.080 it further than you ever even thought possible. I love 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.919 something that our son Jonathan said one day when he 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:32.080 was just about four or five years old. He and 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.160 I were driving on the freeway right here in front 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:37.200 of the Compact Center, and I slowed down and I pointed, 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.200 I said, look, Jonathan, there's a Compact Center one day 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:42.560 that's gonna be yours. One day, you're gonna be in 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:46.080 their ministry without missing a beat. He said, no, Daddy, 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:48.800 when I get old enough, I'm gonna get the reliant stadium. 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:54.159 I thought he's got a big vision. But keep pressing forward. 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.720 You're sowing seeds for that to come to pass. You 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.720 remember David, he had a dream to build the temple. 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.920 He even gathered the supplies, he brought in the big 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:05.520 cedars of Lebanon. But do you know he was never 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.600 allowed to build it. His son Solomon built the temple. 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:10.840 That's just the way that God had it planned out. 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:14.240 And if everything's not happening in your timing the way 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.960 you want again, just keep doing your best, keep staying faithful. 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.840 God's still in control. And as you keep living that 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.479 life of excellence and sowing those seeds, know this, you 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:27.840 are making a difference. And in God's perfect timing, it's 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.239 all going to come to pass. And I know some 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:32.480 of you today you have a lot of negative things 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.840 to overcome. You weren't raised by parents like mine, and 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.440 in your family line you've been passed down all kinds 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:43.880 of defeat, mediocrity, addictions, negativity. But thank God, you can 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:47.200 start a new family line, don't you dare sit back 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.840 and just settle for a life of mediocrity. Don't keep 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:55.119 storing up that iniquity. Get out from under the curse 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.320 and make a decision that you're going to start living 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.159 under the blessing. The best thing you can do for 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:02.960 your family line is to live a life of integrity, 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:06.240 stay on the high road, do the right thing, even 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.119 when it's difficult. When you do that, you're making a 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:12.639 difference not only for yourself, but for generations to come. 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:15.760 There's a scripture in First Chronicles four, verse forty. 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:19.240 It says that the people left the place better off 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.520 than it was before. That should be the goal of 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.520 every one of us. Our attitude should be, I'm not 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:27.840 gonna leave my family a bunch of junk to deal with. 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.840 I'm not gonna leave them the same place right where 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:33.000 they are. No, I'm gonna leave them better off. I'm 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.400 gonna leave them with more integrity, with more joy, with 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.600 more faith, with more favor, with more victory. I'm gonna 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:43.880 leave them free from bondages, closer to God. See, it's 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:46.480 easy to get stuck in a rut in life. It's 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:49.080 easy to sit back and think, well, everybody in my 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:53.679 family's negative. Everybody's addicted in my family, Joel, nobody's marriage 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:58.120 lasts past two years, nobody's successful, nobody's healthy. No, please 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:01.080 get that junk out of your mind. Don't allow that 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.760 to become a stronghold. It doesn't matter what anybody has 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:07.280 or hasn't done. You are a child of the most 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.800 tied God. You do not have to live under the curse. 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.520 You've already been set free. And it may not have 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:15.040 happened in the past, but. 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:17.159 Thank god, it can happen right now. 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:20.560 The power in you is greater than any obstacle that 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:22.879 you're facing. You can be the one to set a 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:23.600 new standard. 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.320 But here's the key. Somebody has to be willing to 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:28.080 pay the price. 0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:31.040 Somebody has to step up and take the junk off 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:33.439 the table. It may have been in your bloodline, but 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:35.760 it doesn't have to stay in your bloodline. All it 0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:38.639 takes is for one person to rise up and start 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:39.640 making better choices. 0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:42.800 Every right choice you make begins. 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:45.160 To overturn the wrong choices of those that have gone 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:48.200 before you. Nobody else may have done it, But if 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.720 you'll dig your heels in and overcome that habit, if 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:55.160 you'll forgive the wrongs if you'll dream bigger dreams, then 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:57.800 one day people in your family line will look back 0:21:57.920 --> 0:21:59.919 and say, you know what it was because of this man. 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:02.960 It was because of this lady. They were the turning point. 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:05.520 We were all defeated up to here, we were all 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:08.040 addicted up to here. But look what happened when they 0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:12.600 came along. Everything changed, We came up higher. What really happened, 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:15.639 The curse was broken and the blessings began. 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:17.719 That's what you can do for your family. 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:20.560 And I know I am where I am today because 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:25.320 somebody prayed, Somebody took a stand for righteousness. Somebody stuck 0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:29.720 with their commitments, Somebody lived a life of integrity. Seeds 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:33.040 have been sown into my life. You say, Joe, man, 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:35.280 you just got some lucky breaks. Now, there's no such 0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:39.600 thing as a lucky break. It's because somebody was praying, somebody. 0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:41.440 Persevered, somebody honored God. 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:46.120 And if you have godly parents, godly grandparents, you should 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:50.119 be extremely grateful because you have advantages today. You have 0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:53.399 more of God's favor, more of his blessings because of 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:54.360 what they've done. 0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:55.480 They paid the price. 0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:59.840 When you have this godly heritage, you will stumble in 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.359 the blessings, great things will happen. 0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:03.919 You can't even figure out why. 0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:07.240 Supernatural doors open don't make sense. You got the promotion 0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:09.840 and you didn't deserve it. That's not a lucky break. 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:13.040 It's because that grandmother was praying. It's because your parents 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:15.359 lived a life of excellence for I don't know, maybe 0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:16.399 some great grandparents. 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:17.800 They so to all those seeds. 0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:21.600 The Bible talks about when we have this heritage of faith, 0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:24.960 we will live in houses that we didn't build. We'll 0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:28.680 enjoy vineyards that we didn't plant. God's blessings will chase 0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:32.000 us down and overtake us. I thank God every day 0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:35.960 for my parents, my grandparents, because of what they've done. 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.280 I know I'm not living under a generational curse. I'm 0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:41.280 living under a generational blessing. 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:43.320 That's what you can do for your family. 0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:44.360 Now. 0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:46.960 I can't think of anything that I'd rather leave my 0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:51.200 children and my grandchildren than the blessings in favor of God. 0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:54.080 Money, houses, cars, that's all great. 0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:57.920 But living a life of integrity and excellence that honors 0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:00.679 God is worth more than all of that. Now, what 0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:03.040 I'm saying today is don't take the easy way out. 0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:07.240 Keep doing your best, even when it's difficult, keep loving, 0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:12.200 keep giving, keep serving. Your faithfulness is not going unnoticed. 0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:15.959 You are storing up equity, not just for yourself, but 0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:20.000 for generations to come. First Samuel, chapter twenty five. There's 0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:22.959 a story about David. He and his men had been 0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:26.400 out protecting the family and the workers of a man 0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:29.640 by the name of Nabel, And one day David sent 0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:33.119 his men to ask Nabel for some food and supplies. 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:36.560 And David thought for sure that Nabel would be grateful 0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:38.600 for what they were doing, they were protecting them from 0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:41.440 their enemies, that he'd freely give them what they'd asked for. 0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:46.080 But when those men got there, Nabel treated them very 0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:50.560 rude and disrespectfully. He basically said, you know, I don't 0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:52.840 even know who you are. I never asked you to 0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:54.360 do any of this, so just be on your way. 0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:57.480 Don't bother me with this. And when those men got 0:24:57.520 --> 0:24:58.080 back and. 0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:01.160 Told David how bad they'd been treated, David was furious. 0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:04.080 He said, all right, men, get your swords, we're gonna 0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:06.000 go take care of neighbor. We're just gonna wipe him out. 0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:10.760 But on the way there, Nabel's wife stopped David. She 0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:13.120 had heard what had happened, and she brought all these 0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:16.960 gifts and supplies and foods, and she said, David, my 0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:21.000 husband is a very rude and an ungrateful man, and 0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:22.760 I know he shouldn't. 0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:23.560 Have treated you like this. 0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:26.600 And in verse twenty eight, she said, but David, if 0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:30.640 you will just forgive this wrong, I know that God 0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:34.919 will give you an enduring house. And I like that phrase, 0:25:34.960 --> 0:25:38.520 an enduring house. She was saying, David, I know you 0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:42.040 have a right to be angry. I know my husband 0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:44.960 paid you back evil for your good. But if you 0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:48.280 can just dare overlook it and take the high road 0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:50.679 and let it go, I know God will bless you 0:25:50.720 --> 0:25:53.160 for generations to come. I know he'll give you an 0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:56.960 enduring house. And she convinced David. He swallowed his pride, 0:25:57.440 --> 0:26:01.280 He walked away, He let it go out life, We're 0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:04.320 all going to have situations like that. Well, we can 0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:08.520 find some reason to be angry, some reason to be bitter. 0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:10.960 You may be here today and you say, Joel, I 0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:13.160 got a good reason to walk out of my marriage. 0:26:13.240 --> 0:26:16.239 I've been treated wrong. I got a good reason to 0:26:16.280 --> 0:26:18.080 live life with a chip on my shoulder. 0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:20.480 I've had so much unfair I got a. 0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:23.439 Good reason to have these addictions. Everybody in my family 0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:27.000 has it. But I'm asking you to do like David 0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:30.040 and take the high road. You may have a good reason, 0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:33.320 but don't give into it. That junk can get into 0:26:33.320 --> 0:26:37.240 your blood. It can be passed down and our children, 0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:42.720 our grandchildren, they already have enough to overcome without us adding. 0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:44.480 Our pile of junk on top of it. 0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:47.159 It may be difficult, but know this, you have the 0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:52.480 power to overcome. And every wrong that you forgive, every 0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:56.520 bad habit you break, every victory you win, that's one. 0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:58.400 Less lap for those that come after you. 0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:01.160 And even if you don't do it for yourself, I'm 0:27:01.200 --> 0:27:04.280 asking you today, do it for your children, do it 0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:05.400 for your grandchildren. 0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:08.280 Do it so you can have an enduring house. 0:27:08.800 --> 0:27:13.080 I heard somebody saying your blood always speaks. What they 0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:17.359 meant is your blood is charged with your experiences. It 0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:20.760 remembers like that study where it's come from. Now, one 0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:23.720 hundred years from now, your blood is still going to 0:27:23.720 --> 0:27:26.920 be talking in some way, shape or form. It's going 0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:30.520 to be affecting others in your family life. Let me 0:27:30.560 --> 0:27:33.960 ask you, what's your blood going to be saying? Defeat 0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:38.600 mediocrity unforgiveness, bitterness. No, I believe your blood's going to 0:27:38.640 --> 0:27:47.200 be saying determination, persistence, integrity, godliness, generosity, favor, faith and victory. 0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:51.760 Let me challenge again, pass down a godly heritage, leave. 0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:53.920 Your family a legacy of good things. 0:27:54.280 --> 0:27:56.359 You may have a lot of negative in the past, 0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:59.280 but thank God, today is a new day. Why don't 0:27:59.320 --> 0:28:01.399 you draw the line in the sand and say I 0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:01.960 am done. 0:28:01.840 --> 0:28:03.080 With the generational curse. 0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:05.120 As for me and my family, we're going to live 0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:06.560 under the generational blessing. 0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:12.000 And remember this, everything you do counts. 0:28:12.600 --> 0:28:14.560 You may not see it all come to pass in 0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:18.080 your lifetime, but don't get discouraged. You're so in seeds 0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:21.280 for those that come after you. Stay passionate about your life. 0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:23.920 Don't lose your enthusiasm, Get up every day and give 0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:26.520 it your very very best. And if you do that, 0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:29.160 not only will you rise higher, not only will. 0:28:28.960 --> 0:28:31.800 You accomplish more. But God has promised. 0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:35.800 Your seed, your family line for up to a thousand generations, 0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:38.360 is going to have the blessings and the favor of 0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:40.760 God all because of the life that you've lived. 0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:42.760 Amen, do you receive it today? 0:28:44.320 --> 0:28:47.160 And we never like to close on broadcast without giving 0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:50.200 you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:28:50.400 --> 0:28:54.680 Would you pray with me, Just say, Lord, Jesus, I 0:28:54.840 --> 0:28:55.960 repent of my sins. 0:28:57.280 --> 0:29:01.120 Come into my heart.
