But thanks for tuning in. 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.280 I like to get started each week with something kind 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.080 of funny. And you know these are not doctrinally correct. 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.600 They're just to make us laugh. But I heard about 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.800 this husband and wife. They were celebrating their sixtieth birthdays together. 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.000 Suddenly an angel appeared and said God was going to 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.200 grant them each one special request. 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:37.640 They were so excited. 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.680 The wife said, my request is that we'd be able 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.480 to travel all over the world, and poof, when the 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.800 smoke cleared, she had tickets in her hand. 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.080 The husband hung his head in shame. 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.000 He said, my request is that I'd be married to 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.639 a woman thirty years younger than me, and poof, when 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.840 the smoke cleared, he was ninety years old. 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.840 Right, hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it. 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:04.520 This is my Bible. 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.480 I am what it says I am, I have what 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.120 it says I have, I can do what it says 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:10.679 I can do. 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:12.200 Today I will be. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.320 Taught the word of God I boldly confess my mind 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.920 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:24.520 the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.000 to talk to you today about how you are an 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:31.720 extraordinary person. We all face challenges and we all have 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.800 obstacles to overcome, but if we can keep the right perspective, 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.680 it'll help us to stay in faith. And one thing 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:44.160 I've learned is average people have average problems. Ordinary people 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.680 have ordinary challenges. But here's the key. You're not average, 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:53.760 You're not ordinary, you are extraordinary. God breeds his life 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:58.520 into you. This means you can't expect average problems. You 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:04.200 can't expect ordinary time challenges. You are exceptional and exceptional 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:09.280 people face exceptional difficulties. But the good news is we 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:13.760 serve an exceptional God. And when God allows a problem 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.680 in your life, he doesn't match it to the size 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.839 you think you are. He matches it to the size 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.240 of your destiny. God knows what you're capable of. 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:24.960 He sees your potential. 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:29.200 When you have an incredible problem, Instead of being discouraged, 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.440 you should be encouraged knowing that you're an incredible person 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.000 and you have an incredible future. Well, you say, Joel, 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.520 why are these people talking about me at work? Why 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.120 are they trying to make me look bad? Listen, they 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:45.880 don't talk about average people. They don't talk about ordinary people. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.000 They talk about exceptional people. 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:49.640 That's why they're talking about you. 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.159 It's no big deal. Just shake it off and move forward. 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.640 It comes with the territory. I had a reporter say 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.400 to me last week, Joel, I've done all my research 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.760 on you. I've got to tell you you have an 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.760 extraordinary amount of critics. I smiled and said, it's because 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:11.320 I'm an extraordinary person. Well, how come every time I 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.200 try to go forward, Joel, every time I try to 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:15.919 pursue my dreams. 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.080 I have major challenges. 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:21.400 It's because you're a major person with a major future. 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.120 The enemy would leave you alone if you weren't a threat. 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.760 He wouldn't bother you, if you weren't headed for great things. 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.880 You need to dig your heels in and say, I'm 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.160 not gonna be discouraged by these problems. It may be big, 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.800 but it's not too big for me. I'm not gonna 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.680 go around complaining because somebody's talking about me. I'm not 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.039 gonna get upset because I'm struggling a little in my finances. 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.839 I'm staying in faith knowing that the enemy wouldn't fight 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.000 me this hard if he didn't know God had something. 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:52.560 Great in store. 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:58.040 And understand the size of your problem is an indication 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.200 of the size of your future. If you have a 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:05.200 big challenge, that means you have a big future. Don't 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.640 go around complaining why did this happen to me? Why 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:12.000 did my plant close down? Why did my loved one die? 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:16.039 Why do I have this sickness? No, that obstacle is 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.120 not there to defeat you. It's there to promote you. 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.800 If you'll stay in faith right past that difficulty, you'll 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.760 see a new level of God's favor. This is what 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.800 happened to David. He would still be known as a 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:33.599 shepherd boy if it were not for Goliath. He faced 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:38.880 an extraordinary problem. Goliath was three times his size. He 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.960 was a skilled warrior. He was the leader of that army. Here, 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:47.279 David was a teenager. He didn't have any formal training, 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.479 He had no equipment, no armor. In the natural, David 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.920 didn't have a chance. What was God doing? That didn't 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.440 seem to make any sense. But God wouldn't have presented 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.880 David with that ex extra ordinary challenge unless he already 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:07.840 knew that David was an extraordinary person. No doubt David 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.640 felt average. I'm sure he felt ordinary just taking care 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:12.600 of his father's sheep. 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.360 Nothing special about him. 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:19.000 But when David heard Goliath taunting the people of Israel, 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.400 something rose up on the inside that said, David. 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.840 This is your time, this is your destiny. 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:30.120 I believe at that moment a seed of faith took 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.240 root in his heart and he began to realize he 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.680 was not average, he was not ordinary. He could feel 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:41.360 those seeds of greatness. His mind told him, David, you're crazy. 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.160 You're never going to defeat this man. You're going to 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.880 get out there and look like a fool. But in 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.920 his heart he could hear the voice of faith saying, 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.000 greater is he that's in me than he that's coming 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.560 against me. I am well able to fulfill my destiny. 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.720 I may not see away, but I know my God 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.560 can make away. He went out and defeated the giant. 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:08.200 Do you realize what made David King, what promoted him? 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:09.360 It was Goliath. 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:15.600 The extraordinary problem brought out the extraordinary person. Some of 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:19.400 you today, you're facing situations that seem impossible. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:21.520 You don't see how it could work out. 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.680 But I believe even right now, a seed of faith 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.600 is rising in your heart. Something on the inside is saying, 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:33.840 I am bigger than this problem. I was created to overcome. 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.520 I was destined to live in victory. Now you've got 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.360 to do like David and let that seed take root. 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.920 Believe that you can overcome every obstacle. Believe that you're 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.320 a person of destiny. Stir up the fire that God's 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:51.440 put on the inside. You can't sit back and be 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.920 passive and kind of complain, talk about how bad it is, 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.920 how you'll never rise any higher. Now that obstacle may 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:03.000 look like a Goliah, it may look impossible, but God 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.800 wouldn't have allowed it if he didn't already know you 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:06.679 could overcome it. 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:08.360 Quit looking at your. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.600 Difficulties as obstacles that are going to hold you back, 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.840 and start looking at them as opportunities that are going 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:20.920 to push you forward. Understand, incredible people will face incredible challenges, 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.319 but the good news is you're going to see incredible victories. 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:29.000 Outstanding people will have outstanding problems, but let me declare it, 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:33.679 you're going to see outstanding promotion. Extraordinary people will have 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:39.439 extraordinary critics, but you're going to have extraordinary vindication. I've 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:44.360 learned this God doesn't allow big challenges to face small people. 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.319 You may be facing something big today, seems like it's 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.680 over your head. You could easily be overwhelmed, but that 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.840 is a sure sign you're a big person with a 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.800 big destiny. You may feel small, you may not see 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:00.840 how it's going to work out, but you've got to 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:04.760 remember who you are, a child of the most high God. 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.199 You have been created in his image. You're wearing your 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:12.040 crown of favor. You've got royal blood flowing through your veins. 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.439 When times get tough and you don't see a way out, 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.120 don't go around complain and all this is never going 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.640 to change. No, dig your heels in, have the attitude. 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.800 I've come too far to stop now. This may be extraordinary, 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.959 but I know I'm an extraordinary person serving an extraordinary God. 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:34.160 And every morning you need to remind yourself. You are equipped, 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.720 you are empowered, you are anointed. You are strong, you 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.480 are talented, you are creative. You have been armed with 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.280 strength for every battle. There is no challenge that's too 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.880 difficult for you. No sickness can hold you back. No 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.440 person can steal your destiny. No legal trouble is going 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.559 to defeat you. Your enemies may be. 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:59.280 Powerful, but our God is all powerful. And one thing 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.679 I love about God is he will never give you 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:08.520 a Goliath without giving you goliath size favor. All David 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.280 had was a slingshot and a few stones. 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.640 It didn't look like much, but a little with God's 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.840 favor is all you need. All God has to do 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.920 is breathe in your direction and things will begin to change. 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.880 I remember when we were trying to acquire this place, 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.640 the former Compact Center, our new facility. It was like 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:34.200 David versus Goliath. Our opponents, another group that wanted this property. 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:38.400 They were the largest taxpayer in Texas, a huge corporation, 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.000 very influential, very strong in the natural. 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:42.679 We didn't have a. 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.120 Chance, And at first I thought, God, why couldn't we 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:50.840 be facing somebody more our size, somebody more reasonable, maybe 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.840 a smaller company, another nonprofit, But God, not this huge corporation. 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:59.520 But over time I learned this principle. God doesn't match 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.560 you the size you think you are. He matches you 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:07.640 to the size of your destiny. God will not give 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:11.679 you a Goliath. He will not allow a major challenge 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.640 and then just give you a little favor, a little strength, 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:18.360 a little wisdom. No, God equips you with exactly what 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:22.959 you need to overcome every obstacle. You have been empowered 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.440 to accomplish every dream that God's put in your heart. 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.959 We begin to realize the reason we have a huge 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:33.120 obstacle is because we have a huge future. 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:35.679 We made up our mind we were not going to 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:36.320 back down. 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.679 We were gonna go around negative complaining, talking like it 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:44.600 wasn't gonna happen. Our attitude was, if God be for us, 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.080 who dare be against us? This may be a big challenge, 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.760 but we know we're big people serving a big God. 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.920 We stayed in faith, and three years later we saw 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.480 God show up and make a way where it looked 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.400 like there was no way. God wants to do the 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.160 same thing for every one of you. But you've got 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.760 to know who you are. When times get tough, you 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.760 can knot back down and get discouraged. You've got to 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.520 know that you know you are equipped, you are empowered, 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:17.400 you are well able to overcome. When I was growing up, 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.280 we had a dog by the name of Scooter. Scooter 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.080 was a great, big german shepherd. He was the king 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:27.240 of the neighborhood. He was strong and fast and always 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.800 running here and there, chasing after squirrels. 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.600 Nobody would mess with Scooter. Well. 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.640 One day, my dad was out taking a bike ride 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.199 and Scooter was following along beside him. My father told 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.400 how he looked over there and was so proud a scooter. 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.600 Scooter looked like he could fight a tiger. You could 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.360 see his muscles rippling out. 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:52.560 But about that time, a tiny little chihuahua came bursting 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.680 out of one of the homes, about thirty or forty 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:58.520 yards in front of them, racing towards Scooter ninety miles 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.560 per hour, barking at the top for his lungs. My 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.920 dad thought, poor little dog, you are messing with the 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:05.720 wrong dog. 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.200 Scooter can put one paw on you and crush you. 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.880 That little dog just kept coming full force, barking as 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.640 loud as he could, and my dad was just waiting 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.119 for Scooter to back him down. But much to his surprise, 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.080 the closer that little dog got, the more Scooter began 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.880 to hang his head. When that little chihuahua finally got 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:27.840 all the way up to Scooter, you know what, Scooter did. 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.400 He laid down, rolled over, and put all four legs 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:35.480 up in the air. Daddy said, I wanted to kick 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:40.520 that dog all the way home, but I've learned the 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.720 size of the problem is not what matters. 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:45.560 It's the size of the person. 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.760 Scooter was not near as big on the inside as 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:53.760 he was on the outside. But really that's nothing compared 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.720 to what we do as sons and daughters of the 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:57.800 Most High God. 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.080 When we back down and allow. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:04.280 Every disappointment and every adversity to stop us here we've 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.480 got the greatest power in the universe on the inside. 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:11.080 God has made us to be more than conquers. But 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:15.040 too often when times get difficult, we do like Scooter 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.400 and we don't remember who we are. We think, oh man, 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.440 this is too much. I'll never get out of this situation. No, 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.560 put your shoulders back, hold your head up high. You 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:28.640 are well able to overcome. If you will recognize you're 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:33.360 an extraordinary person, you have an extraordinary future, then you 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:38.480 won't be surprised nor frustrated when you face some extraordinary challenges. 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:40.480 This is what Joseph did. 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.320 He had a big dream, but with this big dream 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:49.640 came big problems. He suffered incredible rejection. His own brother 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.320 sold him into slavery, threw him into a pit. 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.240 It was incredibly unfair. 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:58.160 He was lied about and spent thirteen years in prison 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:03.000 for something that he did do, an incredible injustice. But 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:07.280 Joseph understood this principle. He knew he was an incredible 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.520 person with an incredible future, so he didn't get discouraged 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.560 by incredible problems. He just kept doing his best day 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.160 in and day out. He could have easily let his 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:23.560 dream get pushed down. It could have gotten buried under disappointment, 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:29.240 buried under rejection, buried under injustice. Most people would have 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.360 gotten bitter and lost their enthusiasm. 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:32.360 But not Joseph. 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.480 He just shook it off, knowing that he served an 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:40.160 incredible God. And sure enough, one day he saw incredible promotion. 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.200 He was put in charge of the whole country. He 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.720 saw incredible vindication. His own brothers came back and bowed 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:51.640 down low before him. What am I saying? Without the 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:56.520 incredible challenges, he wouldn't have seen the incredible promotion. Some 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.360 of you today don't think that you could really fulfill 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:00.160 your destiny. 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.040 You've had too much come against you. 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.000 People didn't raise your right somebody walked out of a marriage. 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.720 You had an incredible disappointment. It was just so unfair. 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.240 But you need to do like David and have the attitude. 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:18.200 I've been through incredible problems. I've had incredible rejection. I've 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.560 had some incredible disappointments. But now I know it's my 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:26.879 time for incredible favor. I'm expecting incredible promotion. I'm expecting 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:28.400 incredible vindication. 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.000 Don't let your dreams get pushed down. 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.399 Determine in your heart you're going to become everything God's 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.360 created you to be. I see too many people they 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.359 get discouraged, say Joel, why did this happen to me? 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:42.760 It was so unfair. 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.760 But I want you to have a new perspective. Those 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.600 challenges were stepping stones. 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:49.600 To your destiny. 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.919 If you didn't have big problems, you wouldn't be a 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:55.439 big person. Most of you, I dare say, you can 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.199 look back in your own life and see how in 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.760 the difficult times when you didn't back down, but you 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:06.480 pressed on and you overcame that addiction, you overlook that offense. 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.480 You did the right thing when the wrong thing was happening. 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.879 When you got past that, you saw a new level 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.760 of God's favor. Now, I know this may sound kind 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.680 of odd, but if all you have is little challenges, 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.960 little problems, little opposition, really that's not a good sign. 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:27.200 That means you're coasting, you're not stretching, you're not growing. 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.480 You need to stir up what God's put on the inside. 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.119 I mean, if you can accomplish all your dreams in 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.040 your own strength, if you can win all your battles 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.879 without God's help, you need to get a bigger vision. 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.399 You need to look down on the inside and you 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.399 will find a God size dream. How do you know 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.320 it's from God. It'll be so big, it'll look so impossible. 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.760 You can't accomplish it on your own. You'll know you'll 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.160 have to have God's strength, God's wisdom, and God's favor 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:59.480 to see that dream come to pass. The scripture says 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:03.399 in on one seven twenty three, they that go down 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:07.680 to the sea and do business in deep waters, they 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:11.400 will see the wonders of God. Friends, you and I 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:15.320 were created to do business in deep waters. We're not 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:19.399 supposed to have little dreams, little plans, or just pray 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.119 that I'll never face anything big. No, if you have 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.679 a big dream, you're gonna have big challenges. Big people 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:29.080 face big problems. The good news is we don't have 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.920 to be worried. We serve a big God. It's all 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.600 a part of fulfilling our destiny. When you're out there 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.919 in the deep waters, you can't touch the ground. It 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.400 can get a little rocky. At times, you don't see 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.600 how it's gonna work out. It looks impossible, but on 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:48.440 the inside, you know God can do the impossible. When 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:52.480 you're in the deep waters, you're not moved by your circumstances. 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.800 You know not only who you are, but who you are. 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.720 A sickness may come against you, a child's not doing right, 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.920 struggling in your finances. You don't get discouraged. You don't 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.320 start complaining. You've got a made up mind. You know 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:09.120 the reason you're having a big challenge is because you're 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.120 a big person with a big destiny. 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:15.240 You're not a lightweight. When you're in those deep waters, you. 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:18.600 Don't get discouraged because somebody's talking about you. You just 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:20.800 shake it off and say, God bless them. I mean 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:25.520 God bless them. You don't give in because one door closes. 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:28.200 You keep going knowing that God's going to open. 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:28.800 Up another door. 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:32.399 You don't go around feeling sorry for yourself because your 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:35.320 dreams are taking a long time. No, you know, in 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:38.920 due season, God will bring them to pass. Jesus said 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:42.600 to his disciples, come out into the deep. And I 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:44.919 believe God is saying that to each one of us today. 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:49.639 Let go of little dreams, little ideas, little plans. 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.200 Dare to believe for something great. 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:55.560 Stir up those gifts, those dreams that God's put on 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:59.040 the inside. It's one thing I love about Joseph. He 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.840 never let go of his God sized dream. Through all 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:07.840 the disappointment, through all the rejection, through all the injustice. 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:11.359 He could have easily scaled back his dream. He said, God, 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:14.359 I thought you wanted me to do something great. I 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:17.359 thought I would lead a country. I thought people would 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:18.320 bow down before me. 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:20.920 But I must be wrong God. Nothing in my life 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:21.640 has gone right. 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:25.520 No, in spite of his disappointments, in spite of his 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:30.920 own family doing him wrong, the scripture says, Joseph remembered 0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:32.000 his dream. 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:33.720 This is so important. 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:36.600 Some of you need to get alone and in your 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:39.040 quiet time, search your heart. 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.960 And remember the dream God put on the inside. 0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:46.879 May have been pushed down by adversity, buried under disappointment, 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:51.119 buried under failure, buried under rejection. But God is saying 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.520 that dream is still alive and I still have a 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:57.560 way to bring it to pass. Just life with Joseph, 0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:00.800 God is still in control. May feel like you're in 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:03.480 the pit, You may feel like you're in the prison. 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:03.960 So to speak. 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:07.200 But the good news is the palace is on its way. 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:10.439 If you'll get a new vision for your life and 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:13.920 stir up what's been pressed down, then God's going to 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:18.119 bring out of you buried treasure. That is, those hidden 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:22.720 desires that you haven't told anybody about, those secret dreams 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.560 that you had when you were younger, before life threw 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:29.639 you some curves. Those promises are still alive and well. 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:33.119 And the fact is everything you've gone through in life 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:37.440 is to prepare you for this time. Nothing in your 0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:42.000 life has been wasted. Every mistake you made, God had 0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:45.280 a purpose for it. Every person that did you wrong, 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:49.280 they didn't just take something from you. God deposited something 0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:53.639 in you. Every disappointment, every lonely night. It may have 0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:57.439 been difficult, but it has prepared you and made you 0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:01.720 into who you are today. Like Esther, this is your 0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:04.720 time This is your moment to step into a new 0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:08.439 level of God's favor, like Joseph. This is your time 0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:11.160 to go from the pit to your place of promotion. 0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:15.119 Like David, It's your time to go from keeping the 0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:17.879 sheep to keeping the nation. To go from being in 0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:20.400 the background to being in the foreground, to see those 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:23.640 dreams come to pass. Why don't you let these seeds 0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:26.640 take root. I know some of you have had more 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:29.600 than your share of unfair things happen. You have plenty 0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:32.720 of reasons to just settle where you are, but understand 0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:36.560 the depth of your past is an indication of the 0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:39.360 height of your future. If you've been through a lot 0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:42.399 of negative things, that just tells me your future is 0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:45.879 bigger and brighter and greater than you can even imagine. 0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:50.479 Let me ask you, are there dreams and promises that 0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:51.280 you've let go of? 0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:54.639 Are there things that God's put in your heart? But 0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:55.280 because of. 0:23:55.280 --> 0:24:00.160 Time, because of disappointments, you've given up on No, Today 0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:02.800 is the day to give your dreams a new beginning. 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:05.160 Faith is rising in your hearts. 0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:08.880 What's happened to you is not nearly as important as 0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:09.919 what's happened in you. 0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:11.960 God was getting you prepared. 0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:15.239 It may have been difficult, but I know I'm not 0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:16.359 looking at lightweights. 0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:18.240 I'm not looking at pushovers. 0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:22.640 Average people may have gotten discouraged with your circumstances. 0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:25.000 Average people may have given up. By now. 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:28.120 Average people would have found some reason to settle where 0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:31.000 they are. Average people wouldn't be sitting here today, They 0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:34.120 wouldn't be watching. Let me tell you again, you're not ordinary. 0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:35.800 You are extraordinary. 0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:38.760 You know God has you in the palm of his hand. 0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:42.119 You know right beyond. 0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:45.240 That difficulty is a new level of God's favor. You 0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:47.800 recognize that challenge is not there to stop you. 0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:50.960 It's there to promote you. All you may have is a. 0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:53.920 Slingshot and a few stones, but you know the favor 0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:56.720 of God is upon it. You're out there in the 0:24:56.760 --> 0:25:00.520 deep waters, honoring God, doing your best being and blessing 0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:04.560 to others, just like Joseph, just like David. God promises 0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:08.320 you're gonna see his wonders in mighty ways. That means 0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:12.240 you're gonna see supernatural doors begin to open. You're gonna 0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:15.000 see promotion, You're gonna see vindication. 0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:18.200 You're gonna discover talent that you didn't know you had. 0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:22.400 You're gonna accomplish goals that you thought were impossible. You're 0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:25.800 gonna overcome enemies that were more powerful than you. You're 0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:29.200 gonna rise above that sickness. You're gonna break every addiction. 0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:32.439 What was meant for your harm, God's gonna use to 0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:35.520 your advantage. When you're in those deep waters, it may 0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:38.160 get a little rocky, but know this, you're not gonna 0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:41.480 go under. God is fighting your battles for you. And 0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:44.080 it's just a matter of time before God shows up 0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:48.280 and shows out in a great, great way. But here's 0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:51.639 something that we have to do Ephesian chapter six. 0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:54.480 Put on the whole armor of God. 0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:58.000 Every morning before you leave the house, you need to 0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:00.480 make sure you have your armor on. You've got to 0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:03.439 get prepared for what comes against you. When you have 0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:05.440 on the armor of God, you. 0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:09.720 Are bad to the bone. Nothing can defeat you. You've 0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:11.600 got your helmet of salvation. 0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:15.240 That means you're not only at peace with God, but 0:26:15.320 --> 0:26:18.880 you've got your thoughts going in the right direction, positive, hopeful, 0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:24.159 expecting God's favor. You're wearing your breastplate of righteousness. You 0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:28.320 know God already has approved and accepted you. It doesn't 0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:31.040 matter how people try to make you feel you've got 0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:32.159 your belt of truth. 0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:35.440 You don't live life stressed out. You're wearing your shoes 0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:38.960 of peace, and even when it looks difficult, no big deal. 0:26:39.000 --> 0:26:41.639 You got the shield of faith. You know God's gonna 0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:44.480 make a way. And finally you've got the sword of 0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:47.480 the spirit. That's God's word coming out of your mouth. 0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:51.240 You don't go around complaining. Aw Man, my stock dropped 0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:54.520 in half last month, Joel, I'm depressed, or my backs 0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:57.280 been hurting for six months, or the hurricane really set 0:26:57.320 --> 0:27:01.240 me back. No, your attitude is I'm blessed, I'm prosperous. 0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:04.000 I have the favor of God. I can do all 0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:07.040 things through Christ. I am strong in the Lord. My 0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:08.320 best days are still in. 0:27:08.280 --> 0:27:12.159 Front of me. When you have your armor on, nothing 0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:13.080 can take you down. 0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:16.040 You don't get discouraged because somebody's talking about you. You 0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:18.600 got your shoes of peace on. You shake it off 0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:21.399 and keep going. You don't get overwhelmed because you went 0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:24.280 through a disappointment. You got to shield of faith. You 0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:27.800 know God is still directing your steps. When you're wearing 0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:32.640 your armor, you're protected, you're empowered, you're equipped no matter 0:27:32.680 --> 0:27:37.040 what comes against you. No adversity, no disappointment, no challenge. 0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:40.560 All the forces of darkness cannot stop you. They may 0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:43.160 do their best, but their best will never be enough. 0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:45.520 When it's all said and done, you will still be 0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:50.199 standing strong. Here's something important about the armor. Did you 0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:54.560 notice there's nothing for our backside. There's nothing to cover 0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:58.560 us from the rear. You know why God never intended. 0:27:58.160 --> 0:28:01.000 For us to be running from our enemies. Don't run 0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.119 from your problems, don't run from Goliath. 0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:08.480 Oh but it's so big, Joel, No, the size doesn't matter. 0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:10.360 What matters is who's backing you up. 0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:14.639 The creator of the universe is on your side. You 0:28:14.720 --> 0:28:17.840 may have some big challenges, but you always remember it 0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:21.040 is only because you're a big person with a big destiny. 0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:24.080 When times get tough, don't do like Scooter. 0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:27.680 With all that strength, all that power, all that ability 0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:30.200 to don't back down and settle where you are, dig 0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:31.760 your heels in, have the attitude. 0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:34.640 I'm in it to win it. I may get knocked down, 0:28:34.640 --> 0:28:37.600 but i can't get knocked out. I've got comeback power. 0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:38.360 Now. 0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:40.720 I know not only who I am, I know whose 0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:43.200 I am. A child of the Most High God, and 0:28:43.240 --> 0:28:46.640 if God be for me who dare be against me. Friends, 0:28:46.640 --> 0:28:49.479 I'm asking you to come out into the deep. Let 0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:53.280 go of little dreams, little ideas. Shake off disappointment, shake 0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:55.400 off failure, shake off offenses. 0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:56.520 This is a new day. 0:28:57.000 --> 0:29:00.320 You are an extraordinary person. And if you'll have this 0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:04.000 extraordinary mentality, let me declare what's gonna happen. You're gonna 0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:08.200 step into an extraordinary future. You're gonna see supernatural doors open. 0:29:08.440 --> 0:29:12.000 You're gonna overcome every obstacle. You're gonna defeat every enemy 0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:15.000 and every dream, every desire God's put in your heart. 0:29:15.200 --> 0:29:17.720 You're gonna see it come to pass. Amen.
