This is Joel and Victoria. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.960 Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:02.680 the ministry. 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.200 If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:06.760 blessing and share it with a friend. 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.800 We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:11.400 your life. 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:13.880 Oh God, bless you. 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.600 It's great to be with you today, and I hope 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.080 you'll stay connected with us during the week through our 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.400 daily podcast, YouTube channel, social media. 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.720 We'll keep you encouraged and inspired. 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.600 I'd like to start with something funny and I heard 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.480 about these three men. They were out in the wilderness 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.760 and they came upon this violent, raging river. Needed to 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.720 get to the other side. The first man prayed, God, 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.040 please give me the strength to make it across poof. 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.040 God gave him big arms, strong legs. He was able 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.160 to swim across two hours. The next man prayed, God, 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.639 please give me the strength and the tools to make 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.600 it across poof. God gave him a boat. He was 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:55.120 able to roll across in thirty minutes. The next man prayed, God, 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.320 please give me the strength, the tools, and the intelligence 0:02:58.400 --> 0:02:59.400 to make it across. 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.079 God turned him into a woman. 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.040 She looked at the map, hiked five minutes upstream, and 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:11.440 walked across the bridge. All right, I feel like the 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:12.360 women are cheering there. 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:12.840 Here we go. 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:13.160 Men. 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.640 This is my Bible. I am what it says, I am. 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.320 I have what it says I have, I can do 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:20.600 what it says I can do. 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.840 Today I will be taught the word of God. I 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:25.040 boldly confess. 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.959 My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.880 never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.760 I want to talk to you today about the right mirror. 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:41.600 It's so important how we see ourselves. Your self image 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.320 will determine whether you reach your full potential. And if 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.960 you see yourself lacking at a disadvantage, not attractive, he 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.000 will limit your life. It's not that you don't have 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.640 great potential, it's your self image is distorted. 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.200 We have the big Rodeo here in town once a year. 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.560 We always go early to the carnival. One of the 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:04.680 attractions is. 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.680 This room filled with mirrors. You walk in front of. 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:09.800 One mirror makes you a couple feet taller. 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.560 Another one makes your chest real big, your arm's exaggerated. 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.880 There are mirrors that leave your body normal, but your 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.480 head is shrunk, your mouth, nose features all out of whack. 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.120 Certain mirrors make you look one hundred pounds heavier, body 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:28.360 all out of proportion. None of these images are true images. 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.440 It's not who you really are. They're all distorted. We're 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.720 smart enough to know it's just for fun. We get 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:38.400 a good laugh, move on. But how many of us in. 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:42.640 Real life don't recognize when we're looking at a distorted mirror, 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:48.840 we see ourselves as not talented, not attractive, unqualified. Now 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:53.200 that distorted image is holding us back. What would happen 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.240 if we got rid of the wrong mirror. 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.320 The scripture says, you've been made in the image of God. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:05.320 He made you talented, beautiful, smart, confident. You are fully 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.800 equipped for the purpose he's laid out for you. But 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.480 the trick of the enemy is to distort your self image. 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.359 He doesn't want you to see yourself the way you 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:20.000 really are, Like that carnival, he'll put up these distorted mirrors. 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:25.240 The Psalmist said, you've been fearfully and wonderfully made, But 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.000 when you look in his mirror, you'll see all your flaws. 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.839 Everything you don't like will be exaggerated. 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.640 You've been forgiven, redeemed. 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.120 But when you look in that mirror, you'll see all 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:40.800 your mistakes, failures, times you don't measure up. Looking back 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.600 at you is a guilty. 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:47.920 Unworthy, undeserving person. It's a distorted mirror. Maybe you been 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.040 through disappointments. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.240 Life hasn't treated you fair. That distorted mirror will come up. 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:57.719 You'll see yourself defeated, at a disadvantage, nothing good in 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.520 your future. When the truth is, God has beauty for 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.920 those ashes, what was meant for harm. 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:08.200 He's turning to your advantage. What's the problem. You're looking 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:09.240 in the wrong mirror. 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.400 As long as you're letting that define who you are, 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.120 As long as you're believing those distorted images, it will 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.480 keep you from rising higher. You have to get rid 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.960 of that mirror and go get the right mirror. James 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.200 One says that God's word is like a mirror. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.599 It reflects who you really are. 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.719 What God says about you is the true image you 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.200 need to keep in front of you. You are not 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:39.800 defined by people by your past, by how you were raised, by. 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:40.760 What didn't work out. 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.479 You are defined by your creator. When you look in 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.680 the mirror of God's word, you'll. 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.200 Find that you are valuable. 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:54.680 You are talented, You are confident, favored, blessed worthy. As 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:58.400 you see yourself the way God sees you, it begins 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:02.440 to heal damaged self in images. His word will repair 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:06.800 the hurts, the scars, the unfair, things that have caused 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:12.480 you to see yourself as lacking, inferior, unqualified. Keep this 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.240 right mirror in front of you. May not happen overnight, 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.240 but if you will keep seeing yourself the right way, 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:23.440 little by little you're changing. You're going to become what 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:28.040 you're seeing. Maybe you're struggling with an addiction. As long 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.520 as you see yourself addicted, you're going to stay that way. 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:37.960 You need to change mirrors, start seeing yourself whole, free, clean, restored. 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.400 You have to see it on the inside before it 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:45.400 will happen on the outside. You won't be successful with 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.320 a negative image of yourself. 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:48.880 Lack a magnet. 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.280 How you see yourself will keep pulling you toward it. 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:57.480 If you see yourself struggling barely getting by scarcity mentality, 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.240 you're moving toward it. What would happen if you would 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:06.840 change mirrors start seeing yourself as blessed, prosperous, talented, having 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.960 a bountiful year. Then, because you have the right image, 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:16.120 because you're in agreement with God, you move intoward abundance, overflow, 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:20.920 good breaks, a bountiful life. If you see yourself as lonely, 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:26.840 not a good personality, inferior, you're moving toward loneliness, not 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.160 having friends, not meeting anyone. 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.320 Do yourself a favor. Change mirrors. 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.400 You're beautiful, you're attractive, You're want of a kind. 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.720 You've been crowned with favor. You're a prize. 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.240 Whoever gets you, it's like they won the lottery. When 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.319 you have the right mirror, you'll put your shoulders back, 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.600 You'll carry yourself like the royalty God created you to be. 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.800 I talked to a man recently. He told how his 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:54.680 business is. 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:58.080 Down, how the pandemic has set him back, and his 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.800 company is making changes. 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.360 His retirement is in jeopardy, on and on. When he 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.240 got finished, I was depressed too. I was ready to 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.520 give up. Oh it's a problem. 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.839 He's looking in a distorted mirror. He sees himself as 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:17.800 washed up, disadvantaged, nothing good in his future. That's pulling 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.920 him toward lack, struggle, mediocrity. 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.000 I told him what I'm telling you. You have to 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.480 get a new mirror. God's word. 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.600 The right mirror says many are the afflictions of the righteous, 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.120 but the Lord delivers us out of them all. 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.600 It says, when the enemy comes like a flood, God 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:37.760 will raise up a barrier. 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.880 It says your latter days will be better than your 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:46.080 former days. If you'll see yourself that way, as a victor, 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:51.240 not a victim, then even in tough times, you'll stay confident, hopeful, 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.040 expecting God's favor, knowing that He didn't bring you this 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.640 far to leave you. He hasn't failed you in the past. 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.559 He's not going to start now. He have an image 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:07.040 of victory. You're not weak, defeated, overcome by problems. You're 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.959 a warrior. You've been armed with strength for every battle. 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.280 You are full of can do power. The forces that 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.280 are for you are greater than forces. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.520 That are against you. 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:22.720 Don't go through life looking in distorted mirrors, mirrors that 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.319 are magnifying the wrong things, causing you to see yourself 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:31.280 as small, limited jole, This problem's too big. I'll never 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.839 overcome this sickness, Never get out of debt, never break 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:39.000 this addiction. The reason the enemy is trying to distort 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.280 your image is because he knows who you really are. 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.079 He knows you're a giant killer. He knows you're made 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:47.240 in the image of God. 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:49.880 He knows you have seeds of greatness. 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.839 Don't let his phony mirror keep you from stepping into 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.200 your greatness. Don't let a wrong self image keep you 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:00.679 from leaving your mark. How much further will you go, 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:02.840 how much happier will you live? 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:04.959 How much more confidence will. 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:08.240 You have if you'll get rid of the distorted images 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.679 and start seeing yourself the way God sees you. This 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.199 is what the Israelites had to do. They had been 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.960 in slavery for many years. God brought them out parted 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.920 the Red Sea. They were headed toward the Promised. 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.360 Land in the desert. 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.320 They didn't have a temple where they could worship a 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.360 big building. They had a tent, or what they called 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:33.160 the tabernacle, where they would meet. Before the priests could 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:36.160 go into the altar area, they had to wash their 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.720 hands and feet in this large. 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.800 Bowl of water at the entry of the tent. 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:46.240 What's significant is how this bowl was made. Exodus thirty 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:50.719 eight says Moses made the large wash basin from the 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:56.200 bronze mirrors he melted down from the Israeli women. Mirrors 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.640 in that day weren't made out of glass. They were 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.680 made out of polished bronze. They would be so shiny 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.560 that you could see your reflection. The Israelite women got 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.840 these mirrors from the Egyptians. As they were on their 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:12.160 way out of slavery. God caused them to have favor 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.480 with their captors, and they gave them their gold, silver, 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:19.840 and fine clothing. These mirrors were valuable to the women 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.600 had nothing special for all these years. Now they have 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:28.120 these nice bronze mirror Then Moses comes along says, give 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.080 me your mirrors. I want to melt them down and 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.960 make a bowl where the priest will cleanse themselves. He 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.200 could have said, give me your pots and pans, give 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:41.360 me your hammers and chisels. I'll make the wash basin 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.880 out of that. But God said to the women, give 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:48.800 me your mirrors. When these women looked in the mirror, 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:50.839 they saw former slaves. 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.960 They saw tired, defeated. 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:58.840 Unqualified people staring back. You can imagine being in bondage 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:04.280 for years, working night and day, mistreated. Those mirrors only 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:08.120 reminded them of all they'd been through, how unfear it was, 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:12.920 how unattractive inferior they were. God showed up and said 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:17.520 give me those mirrors. He was saying, give me your image. 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.400 You can't become who I created you to be looking 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:22.319 in those mirrors. 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.440 Let me have them notice what God did. 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:30.760 He melted down the bronze mirrors, signifying I'm melting down 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.480 anything that does not reflect. 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:34.120 Who I made you to be. 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:40.080 I'm melting down the shame, the heartache, the guilt, the unworthiness. 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.160 And the next time you see this mirror is going 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:47.280 to be in a bowl for cleansing, meaning I'm washing 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.840 away the negative things of the past. I'm washing away 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.679 what the enemy tried to do, washing away mistakes you've made, 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.079 the bad breaks, what wasn't fair, And I'm going to 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:02.240 give you a new way of seeing yourself. God was saying, 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:07.160 you can't reach your destiny unless you give me your image. 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.040 You have to give God your mirror. 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.520 Don't let how you were raised, what wasn't fair, create 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:14.200 your image. 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:15.200 Give it to God. 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.720 He'll melt down the wrong ways you see yourself. Don't 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:24.600 let other people determine your image. What someone said, parent, 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:29.800 coach and expouse purful words. You're not good enough, you're 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.120 not talented, you're not attractive, You'll never amount to much. 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:37.640 That wrong mirror will keep you in bondage. God knew 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.960 if these women kept seeing themselves the way they were, 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:45.640 they would have lived defeated, insecured, feeling less than He 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.880 had to get their mirror before they could step into 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:52.320 the fullness of what He had in store. After all, 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.080 it doesn't do any good to go into the promised 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:59.360 land if you still see yourself as lacking, not enough. 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:04.640 I don't what's limiting some people is not the fact 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:08.720 that God doesn't have good breaks favor new relationships. 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.480 It's that they won't give God their image. If he 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:13.360 takes you to a. 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.080 New level, but you still see yourself the wrong way, 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:17.560 you're not going to enjoy it. 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.200 You have to give him your mirror first. Let him 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.520 have your image, see yourself the way he sees you. 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:29.160 Then you can go into your promised land. But sometimes 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.440 it's guilt holding us back. I made too many mistakes. 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.040 I don't deserve it. 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:39.120 We see ourselves unworthy, not valuable, and we sit on 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:44.200 the sidelines of life, no passion, not pursuing goals. Don't 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:48.240 keep that old image. Give God your mirror. His word 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:52.480 will melt down all the guilt, the shame, the insecurities. 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:57.960 He sees you without fault. He calls you righteous, holy, blameless. 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:00.880 In the scripture, Jacob. 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:04.880 Was known for being dishonest, cheating people. He tricked his 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:09.600 brother out of his birthright, went around manipulating, conniving. His 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.280 name even means swindlers, supplanter, deceiver. 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:14.840 He lived up to it. 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.720 You could imagine how he saw himself. That still small 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.160 voice whispered, You're better than this, Jacob. I have a 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.840 destiny for you to fulfill. I put greatness in you. 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:30.200 God was saying, Jacob, give me your image. Get rid 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:31.560 of that distorted mirror. 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.200 I'm sure thoughts told him, no, Jacob, this is just 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.280 who you are. You're a fraud, You're a con man. 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:39.280 Just accept it. 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:44.320 Years went by, nothing changed, but one day Jacob did 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:45.720 what I'm asking us to do. 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.920 Despite his flaws, despite. 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:52.080 His mistakes, He went down to the brook alone one 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.200 night to be with God. He thought, I'm tired of 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.480 living this way. I want to make a change. He 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.760 was saying, in effect, I've seen myself as a failure. 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.240 I've lived condemned. I don't like who I am. 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.440 I'm going to give you my mirror. I'm going to 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.919 see myself the way you see me. That night, he 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:13.360 wrestled with an angel. 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:15.320 He wouldn't let the angel go. 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.959 At daybreak, the angel said to him, you will no 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:22.680 longer be called Jacob, God is giving you a new name. 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:27.320 You will be called Israel. Israel means prince with God. 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.080 God was saying, I'm taking that mirror. It shows you 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:32.400 as a deceiver. 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:36.920 Trickster, con man. I'm melting that all down. I'm getting 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:40.360 rid of all those impurities. Now your new image will 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.520 be a prince with God. When he saw himself as 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:47.880 a prince, he started making choices that honored God. Out 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:52.160 of Jacob came the twelve tribes of Israel that would 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.679 have never happened if he had kept looking in the 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:55.439 wrong mirror. 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.359 Why don't you give God your image? 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:02.399 He sees your restore, You're redeemed. He calls you a 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.600 prince with God. The enemy would love for you to 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.800 go through life with the wrong mirror, seeing yourself as 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:14.320 a failure, focused on your mistakes, feeling unworthy. You don't 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.200 do better when you have a negative image of yourself. 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.480 That cycle keeps repeating. 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.760 When you give God your mirror, despite what you've done wrong, 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.800 despite how you feel, you start believing that you're forgiving, 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:32.280 that you're valuable, that you're worthy, that you deserve to 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.639 be blessed, not because of who you are, but because 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:37.200 of who you are, then. 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.000 You will step into your greatness. 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.400 Now you may have failed in the past, but that's 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:43.320 what you did. 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:44.880 That's not who you are. 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:50.040 Failure is an event, not a person. You may struggle 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:51.640 with an addiction, but you are. 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.440 Not an addict. That's what you do. That's not who 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.000 you are. Don't let that image take root. 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.720 You are a child of the most hied God, God, Jacob, 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.639 you're Israel, You're a prince with God. 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.720 That's how he sees you. But too often we don't. 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.480 Realize that our self image has been damaged. 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:14.760 We've been through hurts, disappointments, We've made mistakes. 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.359 We wonder why we can't rise higher. We're looking in 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.960 the wrong mirror. That's what happened with Gideon. He was 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:27.480 hiding in the wine press, afraid, intimidated, and an angel showed 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:31.400 up and said, mighty Hero, the Lord is with you. 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:35.400 You are to lead the Israelites against the Midianites. Gideon 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.359 looked around, thought, who's he talking about. 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:39.200 No mighty Hero here. 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:43.480 You must have missed your assignment because I'm afraid. Gideon 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:46.880 said to the angel, I come from the poorest family. 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.800 I'm the least one in my father's house. Notice the 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:56.160 two mirrors. Least one poorest, defeated, can't do anything great. 0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:01.600 Then God's mirror mighty hero, fearless, courage, history maker. 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.680 Here's the key. You can't keep your mirror and. 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.080 Have gods too. You have to give God your image. 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:13.199 Let him control how you see yourself, not the media, 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:17.960 not your family, not your job, not your critics. Don't 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:21.520 give other people your mirror. If you do, you'll become 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:22.400 what they want. 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:25.040 You to be. They don't always have your best interest 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:25.520 at heart. 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:29.439 Give God your mirror. He knows what's in you. He 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:33.280 can see things that you can't see. The reason we 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.679 act like Gideon sometimes we don't see ourselves as mighty 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:39.640 and favored and influential is. 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:41.639 We don't realize what's in us. 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:46.240 Takes faith to say God, I feel afraid, I'm intimidated. 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.160 I don't see how I can do this. But if 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.320 you say I can, then I'm going to get in 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:55.120 agreement with you and believe that I can. That's when 0:20:55.160 --> 0:21:00.919 you'll discover talent, ability, courage that you've never seen. Yes, 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:04.600 it's normal at times to feel intimidated, to not think 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:06.480 you can step up to a new level. 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.919 This is where your faith has to kick in God. 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:14.399 I'm giving you this week limited can't do it image. 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:17.639 I'm going to look in your mirror. I feel weak, 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:21.560 but you see me as strong. I feel intimidated, but 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:25.160 you see me bold and courageous. I feel out numbered, 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:28.640 but you see me more than enough. I'm fighting this illness, 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:32.280 but you see me healthy and home. Gideon got rid 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:35.199 of that old mirror and started looking in the right mirror. 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:38.720 He saw himself as a mighty hero. He went out 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:42.560 and defeated the Midianites. Today he's listed as one of 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:46.600 the heroes of faith. Is a wrong mirror keeping you 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:50.360 from your greatness? Have you believed the lies that you're 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:55.240 too old, too young, not smart enough, wrong nationality. 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:59.840 That's okay, you're right where Gideon was. You can still. 0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:04.160 Become a mighty hero. Give God your image. See yourself 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:07.520 the way he sees you. From the time he was 0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:11.200 a five year old little boy, Jim had a terrible 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:15.080 problem with stuttering. Other kids at school laughed and made 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:19.960 fun of him. He became very insecure and isolated himself. 0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:23.280 Wouldn't talk with others, wouldn't go play with friends. He 0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:27.040 didn't want to be ridiculed, but he loved to write poetry. 0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:30.640 When other kids were out playing sports, he stayed inside 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:31.720 and focused. 0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:32.160 On his poems. 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:36.240 As a teenager, one of his teachers loved poetry too. 0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:39.280 When she found out that Jim was a gifted writer, 0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:41.960 she tried to get him to read his poems in 0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:42.640 the class. 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.280 Jim wasn't about to. He couldn't do that. 0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:48.360 He stuttered too badly When he was nervous, he could 0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:51.880 hardly get one word out. One day, this teacher came 0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:55.719 up with the plan. Jim turned his writing assignment in. 0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:59.159 She was so brilliant, she said, in part of the 0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:02.600 whole class. Jim, I don't think you wrote this. There's 0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:06.320 no way this is so good. He stuttered and said, no, ma'am, 0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:08.960 I did write it. She said, I don't believe you. 0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:13.080 I've been teaching for years. I've never seen anything close. 0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:15.880 To being this good. He said it again, more. 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:19.359 Stuttering, more emphatically. Yes, I promise you I wrote this. 0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:22.000 She said. Then you're going to have to prove it 0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:22.359 to me. 0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:25.040 You have to read it in front of the class 0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:26.720 so I can see that you know it. 0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:30.240 Jim reluctantly walked up to the front. 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:34.360 As he held the paper, his hands were shaking so nervous. 0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:38.440 Other kids were snickering, whispering to each other. Here comes 0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:41.840 the stuttering. But when he began to read the poem, 0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:45.760 the rhythm of what he wrote flowed out so naturally 0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:47.720 that he never stuttered a word. 0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:51.000 He couldn't believe it. The kids couldn't believe it. 0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:54.920 The teacher was in awe As he continued reading, they 0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:59.919 discovered that he had an amazing voice, deep, resonant, compelling. 0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:04.640 He read with incredible passion and skill. From that time on, 0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:09.040 Jim never stuttered again. Today we know Jim as James 0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:12.399 Earl Jones, not only a great actor, but one of 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:16.520 the great voices of our day. I believe down deep, 0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.000 you know God has put great. 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:22.119 Things in you. You know you can rise higher. You 0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:24.160 can set a new standard for your family. 0:24:24.520 --> 0:24:27.320 You can beat the sickness, you can break the addiction. 0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:33.400 But maybe, like Jim, you're stuck letting fear, intimidation, your 0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:37.760 weaknesses convince you to live hiding your gifts, hiding. 0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:38.440 What God put in you. 0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:42.439 Like that teacher, God has sent me to help you 0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:45.439 get rid of the wrong mirror. If you'll take this 0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:49.600 step of faith, you'll discover there's a new mirror Like Gideon, 0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:53.600 you're a mighty hero. Like James, you can leave your mark. 0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:56.880 What held you back in the past is not who 0:24:56.920 --> 0:25:00.000 you are. There is greatness in you. 0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.560 Now do your part. Give God your mirror. 0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:06.320 When you let his word define who you are, it 0:25:06.400 --> 0:25:11.639 breaks limitations, freeze you from fears, insecurity and what didn't 0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:14.520 work out, you will step in to who you were 0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.760 created to be. When my father went to be with 0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:21.240 the Lord in nineteen ninety nine, I had never ministered 0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:25.960 before spent seventeen years behind the scenes doing the television production. 0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:28.320 I thought that's what I would do the rest of 0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:31.040 my life. My father tried to get me up many 0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:33.200 times to speak, but always told him no. 0:25:33.960 --> 0:25:36.520 I was more quiet, reserved. I didn't want to get 0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:37.399 up in front of people. 0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:40.720 But when he passed, I knew I was supposed to 0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:44.879 step up. I felt it so strongly. All these thoughts 0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:48.480 told me you're too quiet. You don't have the right personality, 0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:50.359 the training, the experience. 0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:51.800 Nobody's going to listen to you. 0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:55.720 Like Gideon, I could hear God telling me to lead 0:25:55.760 --> 0:26:00.720 the people step into new levels. But I was afraid, intimidated, 0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:03.600 thinking of all the what is what if I do 0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:04.240 it and fail. 0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:06.920 What if I get up and don't have anything to say? 0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:10.560 What if nobody likes me? What if the church goes down. 0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:14.120 I've learned you can talk yourself out of your dreams, 0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:16.320 or you can talk yourself into your dreams. 0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:19.000 I had to do what I'm asking us to do. 0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:22.960 I gave God my image, I said, God, I see 0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:24.359 myself as unqualified. 0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:27.760 I feel insecure. This doesn't make sense to me. 0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:30.880 But I'm going to take your mirror and let what 0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:32.960 you say about me create my. 0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:36.800 Image all through the day. I am strong in the Lord. 0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:38.919 I can do all things through Christ. 0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:42.600 I am surrounded by favor, Goodness, and mercy are following me. 0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:45.159 I'm equipped, empowered, and anointed. 0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:49.679 That played so long that I started believing what I 0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:50.240 was saying. 0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:54.960 Those words created a new image on the inside. God 0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:58.560 didn't just help me do it, but he exceeded my expectations. 0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:03.080 He's taken me where I've never dreamed. Who knows where you'll. 0:27:02.800 --> 0:27:04.879 Go if you'll get the right mirror. 0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:08.680 Now see yourself, how you feel, how you were raised, 0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:12.119 what other people say, but how God sees you. 0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:15.320 Give him your image. This is what David did. 0:27:16.040 --> 0:27:19.919 His father overlooked him, left him out in the shepherd's fields. 0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:23.760 When Samuel came to anoint one of Jesse's sons as 0:27:23.800 --> 0:27:28.280 the next king, David could have been insecure, low self esteem. 0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:30.800 Man, my own father doesn't even believe in me. 0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:35.119 But David's attitude was I've already looked in the right mirror. 0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:37.879 I know who I am. I'm a giant killer. 0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:40.439 He may not see it, but that doesn't change it. 0:27:41.320 --> 0:27:44.000 When he took lunch to his brothers on the battlefield, 0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:47.000 one brother made fun of him, tried to make him 0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:51.960 feel small. David could have been offended, upset, but he said, no, thanks. 0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:54.000 You don't determine my image. 0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:57.520 I'm not getting my value from you. My value comes 0:27:57.520 --> 0:27:58.480 from my creator. 0:27:58.560 --> 0:27:59.800 I'm looking in his mirror. 0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:03.879 When he told King Saul that he wanted to face Goliath, 0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:05.440 Saul said, David. 0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:07.680 Don't be ridiculous. You're just a boy. 0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:11.520 Most people would have been discouraged, talked out of it. 0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:16.000 Not David. He didn't let other people control his image. 0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:19.919 When Goliath saw how small David was, Goliath started laughing, 0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:21.280 making fun. 0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:25.240 David said, Goliath, what you say doesn't bother me. I've 0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:26.760 already looked in the right mirror. 0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:30.359 Your threats, your insults have come too late. I know 0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:34.520 who I am. Slung that rock, Goliath came tumbling down. 0:28:35.640 --> 0:28:37.719 What mirror are you looking at today? 0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:42.120 Are you letting people you're past, what you're up against 0:28:42.200 --> 0:28:43.360 determine your image? 0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:45.440 Joel, this giant is big. 0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:50.320 I'm afraid I've had disappointments. I can't ever accomplish my dreams. 0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:54.480 That's a distorted mirror. That's not who you really are. 0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:57.760 Get rid of that mirror and go to God's word. 0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:00.000 Let him define your image. 0:29:00.680 --> 0:29:03.120 If you will see yourself the way God sees you, 0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:07.280 it will begin to heal damaged self images. That's the 0:29:07.360 --> 0:29:10.000 only thing that's holding some people back the way they 0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:14.320 see themselves. I believe and declare today is a new day. 0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:18.760 Because you have the right mirror. Like Gideon, you're about 0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:21.960 to see greatness come out of you. Like David, You're 0:29:21.960 --> 0:29:23.480 about to defeat some giants. 0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:24.720 Like Jacob. 0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:28.720 You're going to become Israel, not defined by your mistakes, but. 0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:31.520 A prince with God in Jesus' name. 0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:36.000 If you receive it, can you say amen, We like 0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:38.920 to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord 0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:39.640 of your life. 0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:41.000 Would you pray with me? 0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:46.680 Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come 0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:47.520 into my heart. 0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:50.480 I make you my Lord and Savior. 0:29:51.720 --> 0:29:54.240 If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 0:29:54.280 --> 0:29:57.160 born again.
