I like to start with 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.760 something funny, and I heard about this man. He got 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.520 caught shoplifting at the grocery store. He was in court. 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.000 The judge said, sir, I understand you stole a can 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.560 of peaches. How many peaches were in that can? He 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.400 said five? Your honor, He said, all right, I'm gonna 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.600 give you one week in jail for each peach. You've 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.600 got five weeks. His wife stood up and said, your honor, 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.960 may I say something? He said, yes, you may. 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:39.480 What is it? 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:45.239 She said, he stole a can of peas too. Hold 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.200 up your bible. Say it like you mean it. This 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.760 is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.480 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.960 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.679 taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is, 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.240 my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:08.440 In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:13.280 to you today about unlocking your destiny genes. A friend 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.400 of mine in high school had real thick, curly hair. 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.760 After basketball practice, you take a shower, have to use 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.079 this big brush to comb it. I'll never forget how 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.800 long it took him, how he had to struggle to 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.080 get that brush through it. We graduated from high school. 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.160 About ten years later. I ran into him at the 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:37.760 mall and almost didn't recognize him. He no longer had thick, 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.880 curly hair. He had no hair. He was completely bald, 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.800 and I was so shocked. If there was ever a 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.720 person I thought would have hair the rest of his life, 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:51.120 it would have been him. What happened There was a 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:55.560 gene in his DNA that had been locked up. The 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.839 name of that gene was a four letter word, be ald. 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.440 It had been passed down by his parents, by his 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.720 relatives that gene was programmed on a certain date to 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:11.760 open up. It had been lying dormant their year after year, 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.880 locked up in his genetic code. When the preprogrammed time came, 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.120 the gene went to work. Its one purpose was to 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.080 release the hair. I must say it did a great job. 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:28.400 In the same way, there are genes locked up in 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.599 your genetic code right now, not from your physical relatives, 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.599 but from your heavenly father before you were formed in 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:40.160 your mother's womb. God not only knew you, but he 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:44.800 put in you these destiny genes. The apostle Paul talks 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:49.159 about how God has prearranged us to live a blessed life. 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:56.440 God has already preprogrammed in your DNA, gifts, talents, favor, opportunity. 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.240 Those genes are lying their dormant You might not even 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:04.599 know that they're in you. The scripture says, you haven't seen, heard, 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:08.200 or imagined the amazing things God has in your future. 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:19.320 There are seeds of greatness locked up in your DNA, ideas, inventions, books, songs, movies, businesses, contracts. 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:24.000 When that preprogrammed time comes set by the creator of 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.840 the universe, nothing can stop it. People can't stop it. 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.120 How you were raised can't stop it. A bad break 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:35.320 and addiction, poverty, lack, nothing can stop what the most 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.280 High God has already put in your DNA. Now, don't 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.640 just look at it in the natural at what you 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.840 don't have, Joel, I don't have the connections, I don't 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.960 have the resources. My family we've always had these addictions. No, 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.360 you need to get ready. There are destiny genes about 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.280 to open up in your life. Just like that ball 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:59.200 gene went to work and released my friend's hair. What 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.720 God has lef in your DNA is about to kick 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.200 in and thrust you to a new level. Suddenly you 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:10.760 get promoted, a good break, the business takes off, your 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:14.120 health improves, you break the addiction. You didn't see it coming, 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.760 You didn't even know it was in you. What was that? 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:21.120 A destiny? Gene Man I know has worked in law 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:25.160 enforcement for many years. He's a police officer. One day, 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.320 out of the blue, he had this idea about a 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:32.839 small safety device. He's not an engineer, didn't have any 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:36.240 formal training in that area. Nobody in his family has 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.440 ever invented or designed anything. He thought, this is a 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.200 great idea. He drew it out on the paper. He 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.800 took that drawing to a company and had a prototype 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.839 made of it. It worked so well he decided to 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.760 have it patented. He attended a national conference showed it 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.240 to this large company. These engineers looked at it started 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.400 scratching their heads. They said, this is an amazing how 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:02.080 come we didn't think of this. That company bought his 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:06.760 patent for eight million dollars. Later, he was awarded the 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.640 Inventor of the Year in his category. He laughed and said, 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.920 Joel I never considered myself an inventor. But look what happened. 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.320 That was a destiny seed locked up in his DNA 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.920 at the right time it opened up. You may not 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.840 see how you could ever get out of debt, ever 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:29.480 get well, ever accomplish a dream. What you can't see 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:33.440 is what's already in your DNA, what's already been pre 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:38.360 programmed to open up favor genes, idea genes, abundance genes, 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:43.120 health genes. If you will keep honoring God, helping others, 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.920 expecting good things at the right time, you'll step into 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:51.440 your moment. Suddenly it will come to pass. For thirty 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.240 five years, there was a minister in me, but I 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.960 didn't know it. This gene was lying dormant. It had 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.680 been pre programmed to open up at the right time. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.040 And when I worked behind the scenes here at Lakewood 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.760 all those years doing the television production, many times my 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:09.720 dad would try to get me up here to minister. 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.920 I never thought I could do it. I would tell him, Daddy, 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:16.120 I'm not a minister. That's just not in me. Not 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.440 only that I didn't have the desire. I liked being 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.640 in the background. I knew that's where I was supposed 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.040 to be. At the time, I was fulfilled. But when 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.960 my father had a heart attack in nineteen ninety nine 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:32.199 and died, suddenly I had the desire to step up 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.360 and pasture the church. It wasn't like I was forced 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.880 to do it. I wanted to do it overnight. That changed. 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:43.160 What was that a destiny gene opened up. It had 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.200 been locked up in my DNA When I was in 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.920 high school. I never liked to write. In fact, writing 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.320 was my least favorite subject. But in the last eleven 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:57.840 years I've written eight books. There was an author lying 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:02.200 dormant in me thirty five years. Just like with me, 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:06.320 there are destiny genes in your future that are going 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.120 to open up and thrust you to a new level. 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.920 You're going to discover talent that you didn't know you had. 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.160 You're gonna find yourself doing things you never thought you 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:22.840 could do, writing, inventing, seeing, developing, exceeding your expectations, living bigger, 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:28.360 more generous, more fulfilled than you ever imagine. Now, you said, Joel, 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.800 this sounds good, but I think you've got the wrong person. 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.920 I'm not that talented. I never get any good brakes. 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.839 I come from the wrong family. No, you come from 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:40.560 the right family, Your heavenly father, the one who spoke 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:44.439 worlds into existence, the one who flung stars into space. 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.560 He not only breathed life into you, he put a 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:53.000 part of himself in you. You have the DNA of 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.520 Almighty God. He didn't create you to be average, to 0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:01.280 be mediocre, to endure, to get by. He created to excel, 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.640 to prosper, to set a new standard for your family, 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.240 to leave your mark on this generation. You are not 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.160 limited by your environment, but what family you come from, 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.840 by what you did or didn't get. Your destiny genes 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:21.560 will override every negative circumstance. You may have had some 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:26.000 unfair situations, some disappointments. Young man told me one time 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.720 how as a child he was passed from family to family, 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:34.160 from foster home to foster home. Nobody wanted him. He said, Joel, 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.720 I feel like my future has been cursed. But here's 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.280 the beauty. Before anyone could put a curse on you, 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.800 God put a blessing on you, before you were born, 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:49.160 before you showed up on planet Earth. God put in 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:55.320 your DNA these destiny genes. God saw every disappointment, every 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:59.080 unfair situation. He didn't say, ah, too bad, Look what 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.880 they're going to go through. No use me putting anything 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.280 good in their future. Just the opposite. God saw the 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.800 bag break and said, you know what, I'm gonna put 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.160 something special right there. I'm gonna make the enemy pay 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:15.760 for bringing that trouble. God saw the unfair situation, the lack, 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.760 the poverty. God said, I'm gonna put a destiny gene 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.440 of increase of favor. I'm gonna take them to a 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:25.800 new level. Maybe you struggle with an addiction, something that's 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.120 been passed down, been in your family for a long time. 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:33.480 God saw that He's already put a destiny gene of freedom, 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:38.680 of wholeness, of breakthrough. Nothing you're facing is a surprise 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.959 to God. You may have had a setback, but stay 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.080 in faith. A comeback is on the way. It's just 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:49.400 a matter of time for that destiny jan that's already 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.800 in your DNA opens up and takes you to a 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.040 new level. There was a little boy in Puerto Rico 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:01.280 named Juan Rodriguez. He was born in extreme pover. Growing up, 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.120 his family hardly had enough to eat. The place they 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.280 were living was no more than a shack, and at 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.440 seven years old, he was working in the sugar cane 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.000 fields plowing behind the oxen. It looked like that would 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:17.600 be his lot in life, to live poor, defeated, limited 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:21.600 by his environment. But even as a small boy, one 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.800 knew he was made for more. He could feel his 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:29.360 destiny calling seeds of greatness on the inside. There was 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.200 an old rundown golf course close to where they lived. 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:36.160 One was so fascinated with golf he made his own 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.760 golf club out of a stick. He used bottle caps 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.160 as balls. Out in the sugar cane fields. He would 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:47.280 play golf on his imaginary course. One day, a man 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.760 noticed how interested he was in golf got him a 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.400 job at the course, making thirty five cents an hour. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.480 When he was twenty one years old. After being in 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.160 the military for two years, he was hired as a 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.240 full time cab They're in Puerto Rico at a golf course. 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.400 One day a professional golfer came through and noticed how 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.880 talented One was. He took him under his wings started 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:15.200 teaching him, training him. Today, One Rodriguez is better known 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:19.480 as Chichi Rodriguez, the famous golfer. He went on to 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:23.640 win eight times on the PGA Tour. At one point 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.280 was named the Senior player of the Year. Like one. 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.840 You may be in an environment that feels limited. You 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.600 don't think you could ever get out. What you can't 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:36.360 see are the destiny jeans that are put on the 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.720 inside of you. You probably can't see right now. A 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:44.679 professional golfer, a successful business person, an entrepreneur, a doctor, 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.840 a lawyer, a teacher. Those genes are lieing dormant, but 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.560 don't be fooled. At the right time they will activate 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.080 and take you where you could not go on your own. 0:13:55.720 --> 0:14:01.280 Ecclesiastes says time and chance come together for every person. 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:05.480 That means there are moments of favor, moments of increase, 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:09.679 moments of blessing that are already in your future. Good breaks, 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:14.280 the right people, ideas healing against all odds. Like Wan, 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.600 you'll rise out of where you are and go places 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:21.040 you never thought possible. That man that gave one a 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.200 job making thirty five cents an hour, he wasn't just 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:28.400 being nice. He was a divine connection. He was put 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.760 there by the creator, a part of the destiny genes. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.600 The other man that took him under his wing and 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:38.400 trained him. That wasn't just a lucky break. That was 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:42.560 the hand of God. A moment of favor ordained before 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:46.920 the foundation of time. Friends, God has already lined up 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:50.600 your good breaks, the right people to help you. Those 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:55.240 moments of favor have already been established. Quit worrying about 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.280 how it's going to happen. That's not your job. Your 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.640 job is to believe all through the day. Lord, I 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.960 want to thank you that you put destiny genes in me. 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.240 Where I am is not where I'm staying. I may 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.600 not see how it can happen, but God, I believe 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.320 you have it all figured out. Listen, one touch of 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:17.200 God's favor can put you fifty years down the road. 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:21.280 One destiny gene opening up, and you'll pay your house off, 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:25.000 You'll break the addiction, you'll get healthy again, You'll accomplish 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:28.880 those dreams. I can sense in my spirit some of 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:33.720 those destiny genes that have already been preprogrammed to take 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.440 you to the next level. They're about to be released 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:42.240 in your life. You're about to see divine connections, people 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:46.640 with opportunity and influence to help you go further. What 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:48.960 you couldn't make happen on your own is going to 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.920 suddenly fall into place like I did. You're going to 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.240 discover gifts you didn't know you had ability to do 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.400 things you never thought you could do, starting your own company, 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:02.600 running that business, building an orphanage, paying your house off. 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:07.320 What happened a destiny gene opened up was already in 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:11.320 your DNA, but you stepped into your moment. Time and 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:15.240 chance came together. You may feel like you're blessed. God's 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.080 been good to you. But what God is about to 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.960 do when this next destiny gene opens up, It's gonna 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:27.040 far supersede anything you've seen in the past. God said 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.520 in Exodus, I will do great things that I've never 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:34.640 done before anywhere on Earth. I will do an awesome 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.440 thing for you. You know what's in your destiny, You know 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:43.040 what's in your future, already preprogrammed to come to pass, 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.600 something awesome, something that you've never seen. Don't believe those lies. 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:51.120 You're stuck. You've reached your limits, not talented enough, not 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.960 smart enough. You know when your next destiny gene opens up, 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:59.680 you're gonna see new ability, new talent, new strength, new friendship, 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:04.280 new level of your destiny. You may wonder why when 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.800 you hear this, something comes alive on the inside. Your 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:10.959 head may tell you it's never gonna happen, but in 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.720 your heart something is saying, yes, this is for me. 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.160 I know something amazing is in my future. You can 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:23.680 feel an excitement and expectancy. That's your spirit coming into 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:27.760 agreement with what God put in you. That's your destiny. 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.639 Genes beginning to activate, and if you will live with 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:35.960 this expectancy, your faith can cause those genes to open up. 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:41.320 In the natural, there's something called epigenetics. That word literally 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:45.280 means on top of the gene. Researchers have found with 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:49.800 certain genes, just because they've been passed down doesn't mean 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:53.159 they have to be activated. They can be affected by 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:57.440 our decisions, by our attitude, and by our environment. While 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.760 we can't deactivate what color of hair we have or 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:04.440 are size and shape, there are certain genes we can 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:08.000 either turn on or turn off. Even though the gene 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.840 is there, with our decisions, we can help control it. 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:16.119 For instance, you may be predisposed to alcohol that runs 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.480 in your family. You feel a natural tendency toward that. 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:23.639 Research shows if you'll stay out of that environment not 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:27.439 give in to the temptation, you can literally deactivate that 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:32.280 gene in the same way God has already put in 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:37.560 your DNA, these destiny genes. He has amazing things waiting 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.280 to open up. But if you go around with the 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:45.640 wrong attitude, in the wrong environment, thinking that it's never 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:49.320 going to happen. Even though those genes are in you, 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:53.359 you are deactivating them, You're turning them off. The way 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.639 you turn on your destiny genes is to get in 0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:01.200 a good environment. Surround yourself with people of faith, people 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.440 of joy, people of victory. You know what's happening every 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:07.960 time you come to Lakewood, every time you watch and listen, 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:12.840 your destiny genes are beginning to activate. When you hear 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:18.679 me tell you each week that you're strong, talented, prosperous, blessed, anointed, 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.480 that you can do all things through Christ, that you're 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:25.159 more than a conqueror, that you are a history maker, 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:29.720 a world changer, one of a kind, a masterpiece. I'm 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:32.240 not just saying that to make you feel good. I'm 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:36.240 calling out your seeds of greatness. I'm speaking to those 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:41.520 destiny genes put in you by your creator, activating what's 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:45.280 already in your DNA. I'm helping us to turn off 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:49.160 the defeat genes. We're turning on the victory genes. We're 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:53.240 turning off the lack poverty, not enough genes, we're turning 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:57.399 on the abundance overflow, more than enough genes. We're turning 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:01.360 off the self pity, I've been hurt too badly jeans. 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:05.560 We're turning on the beauty for ashes gens, the favor gens, 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:09.320 the something good is gonna happen to us gens. Here's 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:15.720 my point. The external environment will impact the internal gene. 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.679 That's why you can't hang out your whole life with 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:22.320 people who are negative and critical and expect your destiny 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:26.120 genes to activate. If you have people always pushing you down, 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:28.760 telling you what you can't become, and you'll never get 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.400 out of death, you'll never break that addiction, you'll never 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:35.399 get well, you won't reach your highest potential. You're turning 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:38.160 the gene off. You have to get in an environment 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:42.840 of faith so those destiny genes can activate. When Mary 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:46.400 the Mother of Christ was pregnant with Jesus, she went 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:49.800 to visit her cousin Elizabeth, who was pregnant with John 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:53.439 the Baptist. When Elizabeth answered the door and saw Mary, 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:58.480 the scripture says, the baby leaped in Elizabeth's womb, something 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:02.159 came alive on the inside. When you get around people 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:07.720 who are pregnant with destiny, people who are full of vision, excellence, integrity, 0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:12.879 the destiny genes in them will help activate the destiny 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:17.080 genes in you. Get around people who make your baby leap, 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:23.560 not people who put your baby to sleep. Sometimes we 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:25.679 don't want to hurt people's feelings. And Joel, I know 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:28.880 they're not good for me. They pulled me down their 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:32.200 negative But Joel, we've been eating lunch together every day 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:35.160 for the last thirty years at the office. I don't 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:38.199 want to rock the boat. Listen, that boat's already sinking. 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.119 You need to see it in a new light. That 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:47.080 is deactivating your destiny genes. That is turning off the 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:51.080 amazing future God has in store. Life is too short, 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:56.080 your destiny too great, your assignment too important to spend 0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:59.159 it with people that always pull you down. It's not 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:03.639 only affecting you, it's affecting the next generation. God is 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:06.800 counting on you to set a new standard, to raise 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:11.280 the bar. Make sure you surround yourself with people of faith, hope, 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:14.359 and victory. And I understand we all have to be 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:16.760 around people that are negative and critical. God will give 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.119 us the grace for that, talking about when you do 0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:23.120 have a choice. All through the day, feed your spirit, 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:27.919 your mind with good things. Put on uplifting music, not 0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:30.560 something that's gonna drag you down, something that's gonna inspire 0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:33.760 you and build you up. Got in my car one time, 0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:36.800 turned on the radio and the first song I heard 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:40.680 said You're no good, You're no good, You're no good. 0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:45.040 That already made me depressed. Then she's saying, baby, you're 0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:49.240 no good. Flipped over to another station. I heard that song. 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:52.760 Shake it off, Shake it off, Shake it off at 0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:58.000 your house, at the office. Put up scripture, verses, inspirational sayings, 0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:02.119 things that motivate you to work. Now. If you have it, 0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:04.919 you can turn on Serious XM one twenty eight. Hear 0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:08.760 these messages all the time, or you can download these 0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:12.080 podcasts on iTunes every week free of charge. Listen to 0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:15.600 it whenever you want. Bottom line, the environment you're creating 0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:20.560 around you is either activating or deactivating your destiny. Gens. 0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:23.680 This is what my father had to do. He grew 0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:27.399 up very poor. His parents were cotton farmers. They lost 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:31.240 everything during the Great Depression. They were good people, hard working, 0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:34.600 kind people, but they were very limited in their thinking. 0:23:35.320 --> 0:23:38.000 As seventeen years of age, my father gave his life 0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:41.639 to Christ, the first one in the family. God called 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:45.480 him to be a minister. Didn't have any training, any experience, 0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:48.840 any money. All the odds said he would have to 0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:51.360 stay there and pick cotton. The rest of his life 0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:55.000 never amount to anything. But my father could feel his 0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:58.480 destiny stirring. Say no, you were made for more, This 0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:02.320 is not your lot in life. When most people saw 0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:06.240 my father back then, they saw a poor country boy 0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:10.600 with no future. What they couldn't see is before my 0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:14.360 father was formed in his mother's womb, before he ever 0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:18.119 showed up on planet Earth, the most taighed God locked 0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:21.600 up in his destiny, a minister who would touch the world. 0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:25.960 Those destiny janes had already been set talent favor, good 0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:30.320 breaks the right people. When he felt his destiny pulling him, 0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:34.280 he did something critical to see in those genes being activated. 0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:38.760 He didn't stay in that limited environment. He loved his family, 0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:42.320 of course, he always treated them with respect, but his 0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:45.679 parents told him all he knew how to do was pitcotton. 0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:49.040 He could never become a minister if he would have 0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:53.320 stayed in that environment and let those negative words take root. 0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:56.640 Even though God had put destiny genes that would take 0:24:56.720 --> 0:24:59.480 him to a new level, they would have stayed dormant 0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:04.600 in his DNA, maybe like my father, because of a 0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:09.520 limited environment. People pushing you down wrong thinking your destiny 0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:13.160 genes are still locked up in your DNA. The good 0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:17.680 news is those genes are still alive. It's not too 0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:21.600 late to be activated. You can still become who you 0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:24.959 were created to be. One good break can make up 0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:28.199 for all the bad breaks. One moment of favor can 0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:31.600 thrust you to a new level. Do your party get 0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:35.280 in the right environment, not only physically, but in your mind. 0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:40.480 Put on a new attitude. Start dwelling on thoughts of faith, favor, hope, 0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:44.840 victory vision. There are destiny genes in you that have 0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:48.280 not yet opened up. They're still waiting to be activated. 0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:51.280 A friend of mine told a story about her mother 0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:54.000 in law. When she was a little girl. This mother 0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:57.600 in law always had a desire to sing. Her dream 0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:01.240 was to one day be in the opera. Extremely talented 0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:04.359 junior high and high school, she always played the lead 0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:07.359 role in the plays, but when it came time to 0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:10.440 go to college, her parents told her that she would 0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:12.840 never make a living as an opera singer, and she 0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:15.640 needed to get a normal degree. She got her business 0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:18.679 degree and went on to have a successful career working 0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:22.679 with a company, But deep down, she always regretted not 0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:26.440 following that dream of singing. She could still feel her 0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:30.120 destiny pulling her toward that. She was close to ninety 0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:33.080 years old. Her husband had died and she moved into 0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:36.320 a senior's home. Her mind wasn't quite as clear and 0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:40.280 sharp as it used to be. Something interesting happened every 0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:43.600 day in that senior's home. She would stand up in 0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:47.480 front of all the people, uninhibited and seeing the most 0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:52.000 beautiful opera you could ever imagine. She sounded like an angel. 0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:55.800 People started coming from all over to hear this ninety 0:26:55.880 --> 0:27:00.240 year old woman sing. That was a destiny gene locked 0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:04.000 up in her DNA for nearly ninety years. It had 0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:08.320 laid their dormant, still waiting to be activated.
