I like 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.520 to start with something funny and I heard about this 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.040 middle aged woman. She had a heart attack on the 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:15.120 operating table. She asked God if this was it. God said, no, you. 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:16.360 Have forty more years. 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.400 Upon recovery, she decided to stay in the hospital, have 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.960 a facelift, tummy tuck, lifeless suction, and extreme makeover. 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.360 Two months later, as she was leaving the hospital, she 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.200 was hit by a car and killed. She got to Heaven, 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.240 said God, I don't understand thought. 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:36.840 You said I had forty more years. God said, I'm sorry. 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:38.160 I didn't recognize you. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.120 Mind that has no spiritual value. But here we go. 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:44.200 This is my Bible. 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.960 I am what it says I am. I have what 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.480 it says I have. I can do what it says 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.280 I can do. Today I will be taught the word 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:56.560 of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:57.760 heart is receptive. 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.720 I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:02.280 bless you. 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.480 I want to talk to you today about the right recording. 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:11.320 There's a recording constantly playing in our mind telling us 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:15.000 who we are. The problem for some people is their 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.880 recording is negative. It's been that way so long they 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:23.040 don't realize it. Something is always telling them you're not attractive, 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.760 you're not talented, you don't have a good personality, You 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.480 made too many mistakes. They wonder why they don't feel 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.840 good about themselves. It's because of that recording. Some of 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.960 this started back in childhood. Somebody told them they weren't smart, 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.160 they weren't talented, they would never accomplish much. 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:44.000 My senior year in. 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.680 High school, we all went to talk with the counselor 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.080 to discuss what we wanted to do in life. My 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.520 friend told him that he wanted to become a medical doctor. 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.280 The counselor may have meant well, but he told my 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.000 friend that he didn't have the. 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:00.040 Skills to do that. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.320 He should look for a field where he did more 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:07.040 physical work. My friend came back so deflated, he didn't 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:07.800 know any better. 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.480 He let that play over and over. 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.960 You don't have the skills, you're not good enough, and 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:18.800 because of those negative words, he never did pursue that dream. 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.919 Are you letting what somebody said hold you back? Have 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.840 you allowed it to become a part of the recording 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:27.000 that plays. 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:27.360 In your mind. 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:32.520 The good news is you controlled your recording. You don't 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.039 have to let the negative keep playing. The key is 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.919 turn off the old recording and put on a new recording. 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.320 Here's what should be playing in our mind all through 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:43.720 the day. 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:48.640 I am valuable, I am attractive, I am talented, I 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:52.800 am disciplined, I am favored, I am blessed. I have 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:57.560 a good personality. People like being around me. Pay attention 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.520 to what's playing in your mind. Don't go through life 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:06.800 being against yourself. Too many people feel wrong on the inside. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.719 There's something always reminding them of what they're not and 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.160 how they don't measure up. Now. I say this in humility, 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:18.440 but I like myself. I feel good about who I am. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:19.520 Here's the key. 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.920 If you don't love yourself in a healthy way, you're 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.800 not going to love others. You won't have good relationships 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.840 if you go around guilty, feeling unattractive, not up to par. 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.960 And the reason some people don't get along with others 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.679 is they don't get along with themselves. If you don't 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.599 like you, you're not going to like me. 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:42.839 And I'm nice. 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.280 You have to be at peace with yourself before you'll 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.760 have peace with others. If you're hard on yourself, you'll 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.560 be hard on them. If you feel wrong about who 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.800 you are, you'll be critical and find fault with them. 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.040 You owe it to yourself. 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.440 You owe it to your spouse, to your children, to 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:03.080 your friends. 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:08.200 To turn off the negative recording. It's poisoning who you are. 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:14.479 When you feel good about yourself, when you know you're valuable, attractive, talented, 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:18.400 then you can love others. When you have the right recording, 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:24.279 you'll have healthy relationships. Take inventory of what's playing. Any 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:29.919 defeating thoughts, unworthy, not good enough, delete them, Quit dwelling 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.000 on it, and then take it one step further and 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:37.640 start a new recording. It's amazing what happens when, all 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:38.920 through the day you. 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:40.760 Play what God says about you. 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.520 The Psalmist said, you have been fearfully and wonderfully made. 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.039 Instead of that recording, You're just average. You don't have 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:53.240 much to offer, You're not attractive. Delete delete, delete. I 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.920 am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am one of a kind. 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:02.360 I am a masterpiece. David said, God, you have made 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.839 me in an amazing way. What you have done is wonderful. 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.680 One version uses the word marvelous. Imagine going through the 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.360 day with those words playing in our mind. I'm amazing, 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:20.200 I'm wonderful, I'm marvelous. Most of us are not that 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.240 bold to believe that good about ourselves. We don't have 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.960 any problem thinking about our faults, what we did wrong, 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:32.200 how we don't measure up. When this new recording comes, 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.680 the enemy will work over time to try to keep 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:36.520 you from playing it. 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.520 He doesn't want you to feel good about yourself. 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.160 It's going to take boldness to believe that you really 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:47.560 are amazing. I don't mean arrogantly, but if you're going 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.440 to become who God made you to be, you have 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:54.080 to get in agreement with God. You cannot go around 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:58.560 feeling intimidated like your average you don't have anything to offer. 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.960 I dare you you to put on the right recording. 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.240 I'm amazing, I've been marvelously made. 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.320 I'm a masterpiece. It's very simple. 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.600 The enemy wants you to feel wrong about yourself. God 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:16.960 wants you to feel right about yourself. When God created you, 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:21.560 he stepped back and said that was very good. And 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.880 when you get up in the morning, instead of looking 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.800 in the mirror thinking look how old I'm getting, Look 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.280 at all these wrinkles, look out of shape, I am 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.120 why don't you look in that mirror and say, good morning, 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:37.640 you amazing thing, Good morning you fearfully and wonderfully made 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.720 child of the most time God. You're not bragging on 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:43.280 you, You're bragging. 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:44.080 On what God has done. 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.680 When you feel good about yourself, you'll go further, You'll 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.920 have better relationships, you'll enjoy life more. A young lady 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.199 came up for prayer one time. She was in her 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:59.520 early twenties, and she was so beautiful, just striking, like 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.439 she could be on the cover of any fashion magazine. 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:04.720 I asked what she wanted to pray about. 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.160 She told how she had such low self esteem and 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.199 how she felt so unattractive. 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:11.679 She'd been dealing with. 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:15.520 Eating disorders and cutting herself. I thought to myself, you 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:19.000 can't find a more beautiful young girl. But she let 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:23.400 the wrong recording play, and now it's stuck in her head. 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.320 You're not attractive, you're not valuable, nobody cares about you. 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:31.360 They were all lies. But what plays in our mind 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.319 is extremely powerful. 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:38.000 A wrong recording can mess up your life. She had 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.160 all the beauty in the world. Her problem was on 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:46.000 the inside. She felt unattractive. Sometimes we think if we 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.040 can get the outside fixed up, then we'll feel good 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.120 about ourselves. It's just the opposite. If you'll get the 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:53.360 inside fixed. 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:54.280 If you'll put on. 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:58.800 The right recording, it will fix the outside. We all 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:04.000 spend time morning getting dressed, ready for work, ready for school, 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.719 taking a shower, picking out our clothes, ladies putting your 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:12.640 makeup on. We put effort into getting the outside looking 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:13.720 the best that we can. 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:14.800 And that's good. 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:19.920 But a pretty face can't hide low self esteem. We're 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:24.360 in the latest fashion can't cover up feeling unattractive. Now, 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.240 I wonder what would happen if we would take five 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:31.120 minutes every morning to get our inner person ready for 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.480 the day. What would happen if before we leave the 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:39.600 house we would remind ourselves who we are. I am blessed, 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.200 I am talented, I am forgiven, I am favored, I 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.880 am strong, I am healthy, I am amazing. 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.600 I am a child of the most high God. Take 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:50.720 time to make. 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:54.920 These positive affirmations over yourself. If you'll do it in 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.560 the morning, it will get that recording started off in 0:10:58.640 --> 0:10:59.520 the right direction. 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.719 The more you do it, the more. 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.800 It will get down on the inside. Just like the 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:09.040 negative can get into your subconscious and hold you back, 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.680 this positive will push you forward. 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.040 It would do good to make a list of those affirmations. 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.640 Put them on your cellphone, on your computer, on your 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:21.560 bathroom mirror, several times during the day, read over them. 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:23.880 Get that down in your spirit. 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.680 The more you dwell on the right thoughts, the less 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.680 room there is for the wrong thoughts. But some ladies, 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:37.040 you've never once thought I'm beautiful, I'm attractive, I'm amazing. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.480 Well not me, Joel, nothing beautiful about me. I'm just ordinary. 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:41.960 You know. 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:46.720 The problem is that wrong recording is keeping you from shining. 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:51.520 Every person is made in the image of God. You 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.959 are beautiful in your own way. You have a beautiful smile, 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:59.599 you have a beautiful spirit, You have beautiful skin. Everyone 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.280 has something that makes them attractive. 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.920 Even my brother Paul, his toes are beautiful. 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:12.040 Start deleting those thoughts that are telling you you're unattractive, 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.600 You're too big, too small, you're not enough of this. 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:19.439 Those lies have played long enough. Start playing what God 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:25.280 says about you. You're beautiful, you're valuable, you're amazing, And ladies, 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.600 don't ever tell your husband that you're unattractive. Don't ever 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.080 put yourself down in front of him. He didn't marry 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.840 you because you were unattractive. He married you because he 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.040 sees your beauty. Now you may not see it yet, 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.320 but when you tell him how you feel unattractive and 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.079 you don't think you look good, all that's doing. 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:47.760 Is pushing him away. 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.280 And the last thing you want is for him to 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:54.080 start agreeing with you. What if he said, yeah, you're right, 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.960 you are kind of homely, that'd be World War three. 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.959 You may not feel beautiful, but you need to start 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:05.040 thinking like you're beautiful, acting like you're beautiful, dressing like 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:05.840 you're beautiful. 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.280 You have to be beautiful on. 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:12.000 The inside before it's going to come out on the outside. 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:17.120 You carry yourself the way you feel about yourself. If 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:22.640 you feel unattractive, you are sending out messages even subconsciously, 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:27.880 that says I'm unattractive. If you feel intimidated, less than 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:32.520 not talented, you're projecting that everywhere you go. It will 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.440 show up in your personality, in your body language, in 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.319 your posture, and people will treat you based on. 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:40.360 What you're sending out. 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.319 I met a lady one time, and I say this respectfully, 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.920 but she wasn't necessarily attractive. 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:48.320 She didn't have a lot of. 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.160 Outer beauty, but on the inside she had to going on. 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:57.000 She wasn't arrogant, but she was confident. She knew she 0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:00.080 was made in the image of God. She knew she 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.480 was crowned with favor. She may have looked ordinary, but 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:08.600 she thought extraordinary. She carried herself like she was royalty. 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:12.000 She dressed like she was headed for the runway. She 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.640 may have bought it secondhand, but she wore it like 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:19.800 it was brand new. What was the difference on the inside. 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:24.720 She sees herself as beautiful, talented, strong, and what's on 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:28.000 the inside eventually is going to show. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.520 Up on the outside. 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:36.400 Because she has the right recording. She naturally exudes strength, beauty, ability. 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.720 The way you see yourself is the way other people 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:41.640 are going to see you. 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:47.040 If you see yourself strong, talented, attractive, then people will 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.360 see you that way. That's what you're sending out now. 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:54.840 Quit putting yourself down. Quit letting those negative thoughts about 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:59.720 you play. When you criticize yourself, even internally, you were 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:06.200 sizing God's creation. You have enough people circumstances already against you. 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.440 Don't be against yourself. 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.720 When the negative comes up, do yourself a favor, delete it, 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:17.520 switch over to the right recording. Kobe Bryant is one 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.680 of the greatest basketball players that's ever played. On July first, 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:26.040 twenty fourteen, he posted a picture on social media of 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:30.280 him holding a jersey. The caption read, on this day, 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:35.360 eighteen years ago, right after I was drafted, the Charlotte 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.520 Hornets basketball team told. 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.440 Me they had no use for me and traded me. 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:44.800 He had a pleasant smile on his face after being 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.600 told that he wasn't useful. 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.840 He went on to win five World Championships. He was 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:51.440 an All. 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:55.760 Star eighteen times, four times, the most valuable player in 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:59.040 the league, two times, the scoring champion, on and on. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.200 I wonder what would have happened if he had let 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:08.000 that phrase constantly play. You're not useful, you're not talented, 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.800 You're not good enough. That could have kept him from 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.880 his destiny. You know what Kobe did delete that's not 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.400 going on my recording. I know who I am. I 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.360 am valuable, I am talented. 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.600 I have what it takes. He understood this principle. 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:29.160 You cannot replay negative, defeating, limiting words. 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:34.320 And reach your highest potential. Words are powerful. They're like seeds. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.560 When we believe them, when we dwell on them, they'll 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:41.160 take root. They can grow and become what was said, 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.120 and that's great when it's positive, but every person has 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.920 negative words spoken over them. People try to hold you back, 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:52.360 people try to discourage you. Do like him, delete it 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:53.960 and become who. 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:57.960 God created you to be. I know a minister when 0:16:58.040 --> 0:16:58.400 he was. 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:03.160 Younger, he traveled with this older, very well known minister. 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.280 He was his assistant and went with him everywhere. 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.680 And even though he was in the background, he believed 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.600 one day he would have a prominent ministry. But being 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.200 in the shadows of this other minister that was very 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:20.639 popular and very talented, he had to fight intimidation and 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:23.280 thoughts telling him that he didn't have what it takes. 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:28.280 One night, after this large meeting, a very prominent, well 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:32.480 known city leader came behind the stage looking for the main. 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.240 Minister, but he had already left. 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.120 The young minister saw him and asked if he could 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.919 help him. That city leader said, well, I wanted the 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:41.600 main minister to pray by. 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:43.000 The situation in my family. 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.840 With the young minister's eyes lit up, he said, I 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:46.720 can pray for you. 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.800 The man shook his head and said, no, son, you 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:50.280 wan't do. 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.600 Those words were like a dagger. He was already insecure. 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.240 He already doubted whether he could do it. He made 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:03.159 the mistake of letting that phrase become a part of 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.280 his recording, over and over, you won't. 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.680 Do you don't have what it takes. Year after year. 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.280 Anytime he tried to step up and God is courage, 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:17.399 those words would play louder and louder. One day he 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.760 did what I'm asking you to do. He realized that 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:26.320 people don't determine our destiny. Negative words spoken over. You 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:30.919 only have power if you give them power, if you believe. 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:35.160 Then he hit the delete button and started a new recording. 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:39.840 I am anointed, I am talented, I am exceptional, I 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:40.720 am favored. 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:42.800 I can do all things through Christ. 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:47.479 He changed the recording. New doors begin to open. He 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.320 went on to become a very prominent minister as well. 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:56.320 Years later, that city leader that told him he wouldn't 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.720 do that man invited. 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.040 This minister to come speak at a very prestigious gathering. 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.680 Some of the people that are dismissing you, not giving 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.000 you the credit, trying to make you feel less than 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:09.920 don't worry. 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.240 One day they're going to want what you have. 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:16.720 God is preparing a table in the presence of your enemies. 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:21.200 The key is to not let the negative words become 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:22.760 a part of your recording. 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.080 You have to get good at hitting the delete button. 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.000 It may have been from people that should have been 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:30.280 speaking faith into you. 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.960 A parent, a coach, a colleague. They should have been 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:34.800 encouraging you. 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:37.919 Instead, they told you what you couldn't become, how you 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:38.920 don't measure up. 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:42.679 Quit dwelling on it, quit replaying it. They don't know 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:43.840 what God put in you. 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:47.280 And sometimes the people that said it, they have their 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:51.359 own issues. They're insecure, they have a wrong recording. They're 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:55.000 just passing it on. Don't take it personally, delete it 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.639 and keep playing what God says about you. Hey, you 0:19:58.680 --> 0:19:59.680 don't have what it takes. 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.880 Eat I am fully loaded and totally equipped. Well, you're 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.760 just average. You don't have much to offer. Delete. I'm 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:08.560 one of a kind. I'm exceptional. 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.879 The enemy wouldn't be trying to stop you if he 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.360 didn't know something amazing was. 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:16.160 In your future. 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:21.879 He will use negative words, how you were treated, people 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:24.520 trying to leave you out, discount you, to try to 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:29.000 get that negative recording started. He knows there is nothing 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:34.200 more powerful than what you believe about yourself. Don't let 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:37.680 what someone said make you feel less than that's been 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.760 playing long enough. It's time to put on a new recording. 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:45.680 You are equipped, you are empowered. God calls you a masterpiece. 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:50.480 If anyone calls you anything different, delete it. You have 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:54.480 to protect your recording. Don't let it become contamidated. 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:55.760 I've learned. 0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:59.880 Nobody can make you think something. They can't make you feel, 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.160 make you feel not talented. You have to give them 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:09.280 permission by believing it. Now, quit permitting what you should 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:13.439 be deleting. You wouldn't let anyone come into your house. 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:16.280 If a stranger knocked on the door and you open 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:19.280 it and here he is holding a can of dynamite 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:22.000 or a cup of poison, or he had a rattlesnake, 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.560 you wouldn't say, come on in, make yourself at home. 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:28.360 You would shut that door so fast, lock it, make 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:31.679 sure he couldn't get in. What are you allowing in 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:37.200 your mind? Are you welcoming poison? Negative words spoken over you? 0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:41.879 Are you making at home lies telling you you're not talented, 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:43.680 You're not going to get well? 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:44.920 Not break the addiction. 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.600 Why don't you start closing the door to your mind? 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:52.199 The scripture says, to guard your mind, you have to 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:56.359 be selective about what you allow. In a few years ago, 0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:59.280 we had a couple of rabbits at home. They were 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:02.480 in our backyard in a fenced in arean. I noticed 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:03.480 one didn't. 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:05.640 Look like he was feeling well. Kept rubbing the side 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:06.280 of his face. 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:09.879 Took him to the veterinarian and gave us some antibiotics 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:11.359 and said that he should get better. 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.000 We tried that for a week, but it didn't help. 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.480 The rabbit's face began to swell up and he developed 0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:21.240 this huge growth right on top of his nose. I 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:23.520 took him back to the vetinairy and they examined him 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:27.720 war They discovered that a fly had laid an egg 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:32.560 and somehow it had got up into the rabbit's nasal passage, 0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:36.080 and now that larva was growing and about to hatch. 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:39.880 Once they got to the root of the problem, they 0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:43.720 removed it and the rabbit was fine. That's what the 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:47.320 enemy tries to do. He will plant lies in your 0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:51.680 mind to try to infect your thinking. You're not good enough, 0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:55.040 you're not attractive, you'll never meet the right person, you'll 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:58.760 never accomplish that dream. We can try to fix the outside, 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:01.960 but until we get to the root of the problem, 0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:05.119 until we get the infection out and get rid of 0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:09.800 that wrong recording. It will continue to limit us. Why 0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:13.120 don't you feel good about yourself? Why won't you pursue 0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:13.639 that dream? 0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:16.040 Why do you go around guilty? 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:19.840 If you'll trace it back, you'll find there's a stronghold 0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:23.760 in your mind. Something has convinced you that you've made 0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.800 too many mistakes. God can't bless you. You don't have 0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:30.200 the talent. You can't start the business. That person walked 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:33.080 out of a relationship. They said you weren't worth loving. 0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:37.280 Those are lies that you've bellowed. The good news is 0:23:37.880 --> 0:23:40.719 you can get rid of them. You don't have to 0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:44.760 spend another minute being infected by wrong thinking. 0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:47.399 I have the perfect prescription. 0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:51.280 If you will start playing what God says about you, 0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:55.840 that infection will begin to go away. It will heal 0:23:56.080 --> 0:24:00.199 the places that have been hurt. Instead of dwelling on 0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.920 what somebody said, how they made you feel inferior. When 0:24:03.960 --> 0:24:07.840 you dwell on I am fearfully and wonderfully made, I 0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:12.560 am a masterpiece, the infection starts to clear up. Instead 0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:16.639 of playing that recording you won't do You're not good enough. 0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.639 I am talented, I am creative, I am one of 0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:24.920 a kind. Those thoughts bring healing whatever has held you back. 0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:29.600 You have the prescription, delete the lies and start taking 0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:33.600 your medicine. Start playing what God says about you. You 0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:36.840 were not created to go through life infected. 0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:41.080 You were created to be free, secure. 0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:45.760 Confident, healthy, blessed, successful, Rise up and become. 0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:46.720 Who God made you to be. 0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:51.320 In the Scripture of Moses sent twelve men to spout 0:24:51.359 --> 0:24:54.880 the promised land, and ten came back with the negative report. 0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:58.439 They said, Moses, we don't have a chance. The people 0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:01.720 are too big. In in our own sites, we were 0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:06.280 as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sights. Notice 0:25:06.400 --> 0:25:09.320 how they saw themselves. They didn't say the giants were 0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:13.600 so big. They called us grasshoppers. They insulted us. They 0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:18.040 said we were in our own sites as grasshoppers. They 0:25:18.119 --> 0:25:23.080 went in with a grasshopper mentality. Their thinking was infected 0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:24.640 before they got there. 0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:30.280 Opposition doesn't determine who you are, it reveals who you are. 0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:34.800 If you have a grasshopper mentality, you're not going to 0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:39.440 see your enemies properly. Everything's gonna look too big. Joel, 0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:41.800 I can't beat this cancer. Do you see the report? 0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:45.320 I can't break the addiction. I can't get well. The 0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:49.400 problem is not your enemies. The problem is your thinking. 0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:52.800 You've been infected with grasshopper disease. 0:25:53.760 --> 0:25:56.360 There were you like that? There were two other. 0:25:56.840 --> 0:26:00.359 There were two other spies, Joshua and Caleb. They had 0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:04.159 a totally different report. They said, Moses, we are well 0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:05.600 able to take the land. 0:26:05.840 --> 0:26:07.159 Let us go in at once. 0:26:08.280 --> 0:26:12.680 What was the difference between them and the other ten Spies? 0:26:13.240 --> 0:26:17.520 Their thinking wasn't infected. They were playing the right recording. 0:26:17.840 --> 0:26:21.200 They knew they were well able. When you are free 0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:25.240 from infection, you'll have a boldness, a confidence to take 0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:28.080 ground that others think is impossible. 0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:32.800 Joshua Will went on to say, Moses, these enemies will 0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:36.399 be like bread for us. We will eat them for lunch. 0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:39.640 He was saying, this conflict is going to nourish us. 0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:43.639 We're gonna come out stronger. My question for you is 0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:47.040 which group are you in? Joshua and Calebs are you 0:26:47.119 --> 0:26:51.320 with the ten Spies? Have you let your thinking become infected? 0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:54.840 Are you playing the wrong recording? If you can change, 0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:58.760 turn that off, Delete the lies and start playing what 0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:02.600 God says about you Every morning. Take time to get 0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:06.400 your inner person ready. Start the day off making these 0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:11.240 positive affirmations over yourself. Then all through the day keep 0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:15.040 that plan. Don't let the negative come in. Let me 0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:17.639 help you get started. Will you say this with me, 0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:21.639 Declare it like you mean it. I am blessed, I 0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:27.720 am prosperous, I am talented, I am creative. I am forgiven, 0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:33.719 I am redeemed. I am free, I am valuable, I 0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:40.159 am anointed. I am equipped. I am beautiful, I am attractive. 0:27:40.680 --> 0:27:45.959 I am amazing. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I 0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:49.680 am a child of the most tied God. I have 0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:55.159 seeds of greatness. I will become all He's created me 0:27:55.240 --> 0:28:00.280 to be. I am victorious in Jesus's name.

I'll make you my lord and savior. 0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:28.960 If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 0:28:28.960 --> 0:28:32.480 born again.
