Thanks for listening to 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.759 our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.240 If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:40.800 blessing and share it with a friend. 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.840 We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:48.040 your life. 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:58.440 God bless you. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.040 It is always joy and honor to come into your 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.080 homes each week, and we want to let you know 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.480 that we love you guys, and we may not know 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.160 you by name, but we are believing for God's very 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.520 very best for you. And I know when you draw 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.200 night to God, God will draw night to you. He 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.040 has good things in store for you. So you just 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.240 know that we're praying for you every single day. And 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.600 if you're in our area, I hope you'll stop by. 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:22.040 And see us. 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.400 I say it often, but these are the finest people 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.560 in all of Houston, right here at Lakewood, and we'd 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:28.520 love to have you be a part of our service. 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.480 Thanks for tuning in, though. I like to get started 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:33.720 with something funny each week. 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.400 And I heard about this man that died and he 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.840 left his wife twenty thousand dollars. After the funeral, she 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.160 told her friend, I'm totally broke. The friend said, what 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.240 do you mean. You said you had twenty thousand dollars. 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.360 What'd you spend it on? She said, well, I spent 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.360 five thousand dollars on the funeral in fifteen thousand on 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:55.040 the memorial stone. The friend said, wow, that's some kind 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.240 of stone. How big was it. She held up her 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:01.280 hand and said, three and a half carrots. Hold your 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:02.880 bibles up and say it like you mean it. 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:04.720 This is my Bible. 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.880 I am what it says, I am, I have what 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.520 it says I have, I can do what it says 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.320 I can do. Today, I will be taught the word 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:18.000 of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:22.720 heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:27.040 God bless you. We've been talking about the legacy we're 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:31.200 leaving and how our choices can affect generations to come, 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.120 and some of you struggle with things right now. 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:35.520 That have been passed down to you. 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.880 When you look back in your family line, you can 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:45.360 see mediocrity, addictions, insecurity, low self esteem, and unfortunately now 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.480 you have to overcome those same things. And we've all 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:52.280 heard that saying, well, he's just got bad blood, and 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.920 really there's some truth to that. What's in our bloodline 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:00.160 is extremely important, and we have to realize we all 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:04.480 have a natural bloodline made up of our parents, grandparents, 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.160 great grandparents, but we. 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.560 Also have a spiritual bloodline. 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.839 And the good news is our spiritual blood line can 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:17.160 override our natural bloodline. And the scripture talks about when 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.960 we came to Christ, all things have become new, the 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.200 old has passed away. In other words, we have entered 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.960 into a new bloodline. And when you really understand all 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.760 God's done for you, and you begin to act on it, 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.800 then you can rise up out of any adversity, and 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.520 you can overcome any negative thing from your past. There 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:41.520 is power in your spiritual blood line. And David said, 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.919 there and saw one thirty nine. Verse thirteen, God, you 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:49.599 created my inmost being. You nip me together in my 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:55.120 mother's womb. Verse sixteen says, all the days ordained for 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.920 me were written in your book before one of them 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:03.160 came to be. Notice David is saying that God saw 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.200 us before we were ever even born, before Adam and Eve, 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.720 before Abraham, before your grandparents. 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:11.680 God knew you. 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.760 In other words, your parents didn't just get together and 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:16.400 decide to. 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:17.080 Have a child. 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:21.560 You were preordained to be here before the foundation of 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:25.599 the world. See, God is the great architect of the universe. 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:30.120 He's planned everything out. It's not a coincidence that you're 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.960 here today. God looked out and said, I'm going to 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.240 choose this person to live in this generation and that 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:40.359 person to live in that generation. God prearranged for you 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:44.320 to be here at this particular time in history. And 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.640 how we should feel this sense of destiny, how we 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.240 should feel this sense of value. I know too many 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:55.720 people today. They're going around with low self esteem, insecure, 0:05:55.920 --> 0:06:01.160 feeling inferior. They've been through disappointments, somebody hurt them, or 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.960 maybe they made some mistakes, and how they're just kind 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.840 of drifting through life, no dreams. 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.360 No goals, no enthusiasm. 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:13.080 The problem is they don't understand their sense of value. 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:17.120 I found that the enemy works over time in this area. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:21.839 He'll use negative experiences or any kind of rejection to 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.560 try to lower our self worth. He wants us to 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:30.400 be insecure, insecure about our personalities, insecure about our looks, 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:35.040 insecure about our abilities, and he'll constantly bring up the past, 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.560 remind us of everything we've ever done wrong. And his 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:42.240 goal is to just keep chipping away from every possible 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:46.280 angle to try to steal our sense of value. We 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.960 have to understand our value should not be based on 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.240 how somebody else has treated us, or on how perfect 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.360 of a life we've lived, or even on how successful 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.640 we are. Our value should be based solely on the 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.719 fact that we are children of the most High God. 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.920 We have been called, we have been chosen. God has 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:08.159 hand picked us. 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.520 No, we're not perfect. We make mistakes. 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:15.320 We all have weaknesses, but the fact is that doesn't 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.360 change our value. In God's eyes, we are still the 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.200 apple of his eye. We are still his most prized possession. 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.920 And sometimes, you know, religion tries to beat people down, 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:30.160 make you feel bad about yourself. You've done this, you 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.520 failed here, you didn't treat this person right, you didn't 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.960 raise your kids as good as you should have. And 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.440 a lot of people just swallow that junk, hook line 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:42.240 and sinker. They go around feeling bad about themselves, low 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.240 self esteem, unworthy. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:46.040 Their attitude is man. 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.600 God could never bless me, Joel, I've made too many mistakes. 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.560 I blew it. No, God knew that you weren't going 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:52.280 to be perfect. 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.760 Let me tell you are no surprise to God. Won't 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.600 you lighten up and give yourself a break? Why don't 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.400 you quit beating yourself up over everything you've done wrong? 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.800 After all, you can't change the past. 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:08.160 If you've made mistakes, just say God, I'm sorry, I repent, 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:09.240 Help me to do. 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:10.040 Better next time. 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.480 Then you've got to learn to just let it go 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.400 and move on, because if you hold on to it, 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:19.360 you open the door to guilt and condemnation, and before 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:23.040 long you'll be going around with a poor old me mentality. Man, 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.480 I don't deserve anything. I'm just a weak worm of 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.000 the dust. No, you're not a weak worm of the dust. 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.520 You are a child of the most tied God. You 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:34.320 have been called, you have been chosen. You have God's 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.720 royal blood flowing through your veins. 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:37.680 Why don't you. 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.200 Hold your head up, hide and put your shoulders back 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:41.760 and start acting. 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.240 Like a child of Almighty God. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.360 Friends, You've got to believe in yourself and believe that 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:51.200 you have something to offer this world that nobody else has. 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.199 You've been made in the image of Almighty God. That 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.439 means you're not like another animal, a dog, a cat, 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:02.000 a horse. No, the scripture says that God breathed his 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:03.760 life into you. 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.560 You are a person of destiny. 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.079 You didn't just happen to show up in the year 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.520 two thousand and six. God was thinking about you before 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.839 you were ever even born, and it says He has 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:19.720 meticulously made everything about you. Some of you are always 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.640 finding fault with yourself. Well, I wish I didn't look 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.400 like this. I wish I had her personality, and I 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.640 wish I had his talent. Now, God made you like 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:32.760 you are on purpose. You are an original. Quit being 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.840 negative and critical toward yourself, and start enjoying yourself. 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.520 I hope you take this in the right sense. But 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.720 I like being me. I know I'm not perfect. 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.880 I know I have areas I need to improve, but overall, 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:50.720 I enjoy being myself. I realize I am valuable to God. 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.440 And you may have some things that you wish you 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.280 could change, but you can't stay focused on that. You 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.559 got to take what God has given you and make 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.240 the most of it. You are value to God. I 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.760 heard somebody put it like this. If God had a refrigerator, 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.640 your picture would be on it. If God carried a wallet, 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.280 your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:16.280 every spring. He gives you a sunrise every morning. He 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.440 could live anywhere in the universe, but he chose to 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:23.280 live in your heart. You are God's most prized possession. 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:28.760 And understand this. We have everything we need to live 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:32.400 a life of victory. It's in our spiritual bloodline. It 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.200 says in Ephesians that God has equipped us with every 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:37.600 spiritual blessing. 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:39.760 Notice it's past tense. 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.400 God has already done it, but it's not going to 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.760 do us any good unless we believe it. 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.040 And start acting on it. 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.840 And every day you should make positive declarations over your life. 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:55.319 You should say things like, I am blessed, I am forgiven, 0:10:56.000 --> 0:11:00.520 I am prosperous, I am healthy, I am a tractive, 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:05.000 I am creative, I am wise. I am all that 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.680 God has made me to be. You need to declare 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.320 that over your own life. Get that down in your spirit. 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:12.080 Friends. 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.920 You are not created to be average. You are created 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.800 to barely get by. You were created to excel. You 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.480 were created to be the head and not the tale. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.120 The Bible talks about how we should. 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.880 Rule and reign in this life. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.920 And I know you may have a lot to overcome 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:35.440 in your natural bloodline, addictions, bad attitudes, inferiority, but thank God, 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.960 because of what Christ has done, we've stepped into that 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.840 new bloodline. Now you don't have to be bound by 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.800 all the bondages of that past. Now, you say, Joel Man, 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.720 I hadn't gotten any good breaks in life, and my 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.000 parents struggled with these same problems, and people haven't treated 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:53.800 me right, and I just kind of think this is 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.600 my lot in life. No, don't ever believe that. 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:56.959 Lie. 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.440 Your lot in life is to be a victor and 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.600 not a Victor. Your lot in life is to be happy, 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.320 to be healthy, to be whole. And you may have 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.360 a lot to overcome in that natural bloodline. But let 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.840 me encourage you. Your spiritual bloodline looks very good. Your 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:18.319 father spoke the worlds into existence. He could have chosen anybody, 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:22.680 but he chose you, He equipped you, he approved you. 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.839 Not only that Jesus has defeated the enemy for us, 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.240 He's come that we might live his abundant life. Now 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.600 I love that scripture Englations. It says if we belong 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.559 to Christ, we are Abraham's seed and errors according to 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:41.319 the promise. That means we can all experience the blessings 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.880 of Abraham. And if you study Abraham's life, you'll find 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:49.160 that he was prosperous, he was healthy, he made good choices, 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:53.040 he had God's blessings and favor. No matter what you've 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.160 been through in the past, no matter how many mistakes 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.960 you've made, you need to know right now on the 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.559 inside of you you have the seed of Almighty God. 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.480 Your attitude should be I may have a lot to overcome. 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.280 People may have tried to push me down. Maybe I 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.200 didn't get any good breaks, but that does not change 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.920 who I am I know, I am a child of 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:18.679 the most High God. I am chosen, I am set apart, 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.920 I am approved, I am equipped, I am anointed, I 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.200 am well able to fulfill my destiny. And then you 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:30.120 should go out each day expecting good things, expecting God's 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.800 blessings in favor. You cannot focus on who hurts you 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.400 and what you don't have and all the mistakes you've made. 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.480 Now get out of that victim mentality and get over 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:44.480 into a victor mentality. This is a new day. God 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.079 has planned out all your days for good and not evil. Well, 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.360 you say, Joel, I don't really see that happening in 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.760 my life. I've had so much adversity. But if you'll 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.240 keep pressing forward, if you'll keep believing God is so good, 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.120 he says, he'll take that negative and he'll turn it 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:00.839 around and. 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:02.240 Use it to your advantage. 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:06.480 Remember we are called overcomers. That means we're all going 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.000 to have things to overcome. You can't have great victories 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.880 without first having great battles. You'll never have a great 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.360 testimony without going through a few tests. And when the 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.240 going gets tough, the tough have to get going. 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.160 Some of you are in difficult times right now. But 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:21.920 remember this. 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:25.600 The enemy always fights you the hardest when he knows 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.640 God has something great in store for you. And so 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:32.800 if you've had unfair things happen to you, people lie 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.200 about you, people cheat you, well, it says in Isaiah 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.520 that God will bring you out with twice what you 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.280 had before. If you're in tough times like that, you 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.560 need to start declaring, I'm coming out of this thing 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.600 with twice the joy, twice the peace, twice, the honor, 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.520 twice the promotion. Every single day when you get up, 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.440 you need to declare, two thousand and six is going 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.640 to be a year of victory in my life. I'm 0:14:55.800 --> 0:15:00.360 expecting God's unprecedented favor. And that's what I'm air and 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.360 over every single one of you, that the best is 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:08.040 yet to come. You hadn't seen anything yet. Promotion, favor, increase, 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.440 they're all on its way, and you've got to do 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:11.960 you a part and stay in agreement with me. 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:13.440 Amen, listen. 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.160 I quoted the scripture last week from the Book of Timothy, 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:20.200 where Paul said, the faith I see in you, Timothy, 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:25.320 it first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.720 and now I can see it in you now. I 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.800 was thinking about how there's no mention of the fathers. 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:35.520 There no doubt these ladies were single parents, but because 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.280 of their faith, because of their life. 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.120 Of excellence, they made a difference. 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.840 Now, I know there are a lot of single parents 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.320 these days, and some of you go through struggles that 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:49.000 we know nothing about, working hard, coming home, cooking dinner, 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.880 raising your children, fighting loneliness. You may not think it's 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.560 ever going to change, and you could never fulfill your 0:15:55.640 --> 0:16:00.560 dreams and desires. But God sees your sacrifice, sees you 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.440 going the extra mile, and sometimes you don't feel like 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.680 you can keep going on. But let me just encourage you. 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:09.120 You have on the inside of you the power of 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.440 the most high God. You have been called, you have 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.720 been chosen, you have been set apart before the foundation. 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:16.880 Of the world. 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.640 And just like these two ladies, Eunus and Lois, know 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:25.280 this God has equipped you. You may be raising another Timothy. 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.840 Who knows what your son or daughter may do. Your 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:30.680 sacrifice will be well worth it. 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:31.520 You making a. 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.680 Difference when those old negative thoughts come telling you that 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.080 you can't do it and it's never gonna get better, 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.160 You've got to cast that junk down and just say 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.800 to the enemy, do you know who my father is? 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.480 Do you know what kind of bloodline I come from. 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.880 I am destined to live in victory, I am created 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:50.720 to overcome. 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:52.520 I've got the blessings of Abraham. 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:57.120 Friends, there's power in your spiritual bloodline. I was reading 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.760 the other day about these famous race horses, the kinds 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.240 you might see at the Kentucky Derby. I never realized 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.000 how much went into making one of these horses. 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.400 I always thought that somebody is just out riding a horse. 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.439 One day and they discovered he was fast and gifted 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.920 and he ended up in the race. But it's much 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.840 much deeper than that. These are not ordinary horses. These 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:24.159 are Thoroughbreds, and these horses have been carefully studied and 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:28.440 carefully bred for generations. I mean, they may go back 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:32.199 fifty or sixty years to check the bloodline. It's no 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:36.280 coincidence that they end up in the Kentucky Derby. And 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:40.040 what's interesting is in horse racing there's a person called 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:44.920 the blood stock agent, and he basically spends his whole 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.679 time focused on the bloodline. He'll go back years and 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:53.920 spend months and months studying a particular line of horses, 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.720 and they'll examine how the father did, and how long 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:01.160 his stride was, and how fast he can run, and his. 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:02.840 Size, on and on. 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:08.320 With each generation, they'll gather all this information. See, they understand, 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:13.160 winners don't just randomly happen. It's in the blood. That's 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.800 why these horses are very different than an ordinary horse. 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:21.879 They have generation after generation after generation of winners on 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.960 the inside. And do you know how much it can 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.440 cost to breed a race horse with one of these 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.879 world champion thoroughbreds, just simply to breed it can cost 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.560 up to a half a million dollars. There's no guarantee 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.760 that that little colt will win, nothing set in stone. 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.200 In fact, when that newborn colt comes out, his legs 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.040 are all wildly, he can barely even stand up. 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:46.400 His eyes are glazed over. 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.040 And I'm sure those owners think, man alive, we have 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:50.000 wasted our money. 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.800 This horse couldn't win anything. He looks like an average 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:53.800 ordinary horse. 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:58.040 But no, they know, on the inside, in his blood 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:00.879 he's got a part of this champion, that champion, and 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.560 this champion and that champ. He may have a dozen 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.160 world champions on the inside. 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:08.240 See it's all in the blood. 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:13.480 That's why they're not necessarily concerned about his present weakness. 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:14.720 They don't really. 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:17.159 Care what color he is, or how pretty he is, 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:21.640 or even how lard she is. They know, deep down 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.760 on the inside he has the blood of a winner 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.720 and friends. It's exactly the same with you and I. 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:31.359 It doesn't matter what we look like on the outside. 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:33.960 Some of us are pretty, some of us look like 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:34.480 my brother. 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.720 But you know what, it doesn't matter what we look 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:43.159 like on the outside. It doesn't matter what color we are. 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:47.000 It doesn't matter how many weaknesses or flaws we have. 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:50.880 You need to know on the inside of you. Right now, 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:54.000 you have the DNA of Almighty God. You come from 0:19:54.000 --> 0:20:00.480 a long line of champions. You think about this Heavenly 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:04.480 Father spoke the worlds into existence. Your elder brother. 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:05.439 Defeated the enemy. 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:09.879 Even think about some of your natural ancestors. Moses parted 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.960 the Red Sea. There's great faith in your bloodline. They 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:18.520 that a shepherd boy defeated Goliath. There's courage in your bloodline. 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:23.480 Sampson pushed down a building. There's supernatural strength in your 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.600 blood line. Then you'll sat there in the lions den 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:31.320 and didn't get harmed. There's divine protection in your blood line. Nea, Mile, 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.919 we built the walls of the temple when all the 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:38.840 odds were against him. There's determination and persistence in your bloodline. 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:41.879 You think about Esther, she put her life on the 0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:46.280 line to save God's people. There is sacrifice and heroism 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:47.200 in your blood line. 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:48.280 On in on we could go. 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:50.920 What I want you to see is that you come 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:54.080 from a bloodline of champions. You come from a bloodline 0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:59.520 of overcomers. You are not ordinary. You're a thoroughbred. And 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:03.439 it does it matter what your present condition looks like. 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:06.399 You need to know on the inside of you, you 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:07.520 have the blood of the Winter. 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:11.280 On the inside of you, there are seeds of greatness 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:14.120 some of you today you believe that lie that man. 0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:16.280 You don't have what it takes. You've gone as far 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:18.879 as you can go. You come from the wrong side 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:20.960 of the tracks. No, you need to take a better 0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:23.600 look at your bloodline. On the inside of you right 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:27.119 now is champion after champion after champion. You are the 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:31.159 seed of Almighty God. And you gotta quit focusing on 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:34.840 your weaknesses. Quit looking at your present condition. Get a 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:38.400 bigger vision for your life. Understand as far as God 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:41.199 is concerned, He's already seen you up there at the 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:41.919 Winter Circle. 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:43.280 He's already seen them. 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:46.080 Put in the roses around your neck. That's what David 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:49.199 was talking about when he said, God, all of my 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:53.919 days you ordained before I even got here. In other words, 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:56.960 you may have just shown up thirty or forty or 0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:59.840 fifty or sixty years ago. But God's been working on 0:21:59.880 --> 0:22:02.440 you a long time. He's had you planned out way 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:07.040 way before that. And you are extremely valuable. You are 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:10.919 not ordinary. You come from great stock. You've been destined 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:14.840 to live in victory, destined to overcome, destined to leave 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:18.440 your mark in this generation. Sometimes you hear people say, well, 0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:21.639 he's just got good genes, he just comes from good stock. 0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:25.160 Let me tell you, you come from superior stock. God 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:30.400 brought you out of his very, very best. And what's 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:34.840 interesting is to most people, these famous race horses, they 0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:39.560 don't look any different than another ordinary horse. I mean overall. 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:41.399 They may have a few more muscles, but the average 0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:44.680 person can't tell them apart. See, the difference is in 0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:47.879 the blood. That's what makes them extremely valuable. 0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:49.240 Same way with us. 0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:52.280 The scripture says we overcome by the blood of the 0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:56.320 lamb the word of our testimony because of what Jesus 0:22:56.320 --> 0:23:00.359 has done. Every one of us are thoroughbreds, said Joe, 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:01.800 you don't know the life I've lived. 0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:01.960 Man. 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:04.359 I failed here and I've made mistakes over there, and 0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:05.040 I've still. 0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:06.600 Got this addiction. Listen. 0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:09.880 That doesn't change your bloodline, doesn't change what's in you. 0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:13.160 Some of you do not realize how valuable you are. 0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:16.680 You don't realize the price God has paid. As I said, 0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:20.240 too many people are going around with no dreams, no goals. 0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:21.960 They're not excited about life. 0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:25.440 You need to recognize what you have on the inside, 0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:28.480 says in First Corinthians, that you were bought with a 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:32.680 very high price. God gave his very very best for you. 0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:36.480 He gave his only son. Please don't go around thinking 0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:37.800 that you don't have a future. 0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:41.399 There is a champion on the inside. It's in your blood. 0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:45.359 I remember one time, years ago, my father went to 0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:48.159 this meeting at a friend of ours church here in town. 0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:50.480 It was on an off night and Daddy was a 0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:52.520 little late, so he just snuck in and sat on 0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:55.920 the very back row. A few minutes later, this young 0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:58.480 man came in and sat down not too far from him. 0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:02.280 And Daddy noticed that that young man looked very, very distraught. 0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:03.879 His heart went out to him. 0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:06.560 He was concerned about him, and Daddy thought to himself 0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:08.760 that after the service he would get with him and 0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:11.600 try to encourage him, help him in some way. But 0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:14.120 in the middle of the meeting, the young man got 0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:17.199 up and left, and Daddy felt so strongly about it, 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:18.880 he got up and went looking for him. 0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:20.280 He looked all over the. 0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:22.960 Front lobby, couldn't find him, went out in the parking lot, 0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:25.840 searched and searts, still couldn't find him. He came back 0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:28.000 in and he was just about to give up, but 0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:30.320 Daddy decided to check the restroom. 0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:31.720 He was standing there. 0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:34.320 My father was around the sink area and he could 0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:35.760 see there are a few other people in there, so 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:38.520 he just waited, and sure enough, a few minutes later, 0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:40.879 this young man came out and he looked kind of 0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:43.960 surprised to see my father, And Daddy said, I know 0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:45.679 you don't know me, and I don't really mean to 0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:48.760 get in your business, but I'm very concerned about you, 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:51.520 and I want you to know that God loves you 0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:54.320 and you are extremely. 0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:55.400 Valuable to him. 0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:58.280 All of a sudden, these big tears began to flow 0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:01.560 down his face. He said, my life is so messed up. 0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:04.240 I'm addicted to so many drugs that I can't take 0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:07.120 it anymore. And I decided to come to church one 0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:09.440 last time, and then I was going to go home 0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:12.880 and take every pill that I could possibly find. It's 0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:16.000 interesting he told later how he had seen my father 0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:18.760 sitting down the road. He didn't know who Daddy was, 0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:22.639 but he was very impressed by the dress shoes Daddy 0:25:22.720 --> 0:25:25.800 was wearing. Those shoes just left an impression in his mind. 0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:28.560 And when he went out there, he knew Daddy was 0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:31.320 coming after him, and he said he tried everything he 0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:33.640 could do to get away, but he said, everywhere I look, 0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:38.439 those same shoes kept come following Afterward, Daddy went on 0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:41.240 to tell him, basically what I'm telling you, it doesn't 0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:43.840 matter where you are right now. You have seeds of 0:25:43.880 --> 0:25:48.159 greatness on the inside. You are a thoroughbred. The enemy 0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:50.679 may be trying to pull you down. You may have 0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:54.320 made mistakes, you may have felt a thousand times, but 0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:58.320 understand that does not change your value in God's eyes. 0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:02.359 And you are not here on planet Earth by accident. 0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:05.800 God has a plan and a purpose for your life. 0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:08.720 He has an assignment for you to do, and it's 0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:10.000 not just to drift. 0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:11.160 Around in mediocrity. 0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:14.680 I'm convinced this is why so many people are not happy. 0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:18.879 They never really get into their destiny. Long story short, 0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:21.719 my father and that young man prayed together and that 0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:24.160 night was a turning point in his life. 0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:25.800 That was a time of new beginnings. 0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:29.159 Today, more than thirty years later, that man is a 0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:32.159 pastor of a church here in town. He has thousands 0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:36.280 of members, making a difference all over the world. But 0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:39.160 so many people are like that young man. They don't 0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:42.439 realize what they have on the inside. Somebody has to 0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:43.480 remind them. 0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:44.840 Of their value. 0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:47.560 You may have made mistakes, but don't stay down, get 0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:48.879 back up and go again. 0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:50.720 God is a god of second chances. 0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:55.000 Doesn't change your bloodline, doesn't change what's in you. A 0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:58.400 lot of time, society, when we make bad choices, when 0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:01.240 we go through failures, just wants to write us off 0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:04.640 and push us down. But understand, God is not that way. 0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:08.879 God sees your potential. He knows what you're capable of. 0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:10.560 He's the one that made you. 0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:12.160 No matter what. 0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:14.600 You've been through in the past, you can still do 0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:17.399 great things. It's in your blood. You come from a 0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:20.480 long line of champions. I want you to go out 0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:23.200 of here today knowing beyond the shadow of a doubt 0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:27.760 that you are a thoroughbred. You are extremely valuable, so 0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:32.680 much so that the creator of the universe designs you himself, 0:27:33.240 --> 0:27:36.480 and he has programmed you with everything you need for victory. 0:27:36.920 --> 0:27:39.480 Every day you should say things like I have what 0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:42.280 it takes. I am more than a conquer I am smart, 0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:44.640 I am talented, I am an overcomer. 0:27:45.200 --> 0:27:47.040 Understand it's in your. 0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:49.800 Blood and you may have a lot to overcome in 0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:53.800 your natural blood line, but always remember your spiritual bloodline 0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:56.359 is more powerful than your natural blood line. 0:27:56.640 --> 0:27:59.399 You have been handpicked by Almighty God. 0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:03.520 You are not ordinary. You have his loyal blood flowing 0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:06.440 through your veins. Why don't you put your shoulders back, 0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:10.560 hold your head up high. You've been called, you've been chosen. 0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:13.960 You've been set apart before the foundation of the world. 0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:17.720 You were made to live in victory. My prayer today 0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:21.120 is that you'll really understand your value and that you'll 0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:25.840 shake off inferiority, shake off insecurity, shake off that can't 0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:29.280 do it mentality. You are a can do person now 0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:31.840 I don't believe today. I'm looking at ordinary people. I'm 0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:35.080 looking at thoroughbreds. I'm looking at more than conquerors. I'm 0:28:35.119 --> 0:28:38.959 looking at overcomers. I'm looking at victors and not victims. 0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:42.960 It's in your blood. Do you receive it today? I 0:28:43.040 --> 0:28:46.480 know you do.
