00:00:00.094 --> 00:00:13.874
Pastor matt hagee: in order
00:00:17.645 --> 00:00:18.245
Pastor matt hagee: in order for your potential to develop,
00:00:18.312 --> 00:00:19.280
For your potential to develop, you need to know what potential
00:00:19.346 --> 00:00:20.614
You need to know what potential is and how it works.
00:00:20.681 --> 00:00:24.852
Is and how it works. and the first thing that you
00:00:24.919 --> 00:00:26.420
And the first thing that you need to understand is that
00:00:26.487 --> 00:00:29.123
Need to understand is that potential starts with a mindset.
00:00:29.190 --> 00:00:33.894
Potential starts with a mindset. you have to see it before
00:00:33.961 --> 00:00:35.830
You have to see it before you begin to act upon it.
00:00:35.896 --> 00:00:37.598
You begin to act upon it. your mindset builds an attitude,
00:00:37.665 --> 00:00:39.767
Your mindset builds an attitude, your attitude builds
00:00:39.834 --> 00:00:40.801
Your attitude builds your actions,
00:00:40.868 --> 00:00:41.735
Your actions, and your actions will
00:00:41.802 --> 00:00:43.104
And your actions will decide whether or not you
00:00:43.170 --> 00:00:45.239
Decide whether or not you qualify for god to increase
00:00:45.306 --> 00:00:47.808
Qualify for god to increase and multiply to you
00:00:47.875 --> 00:00:49.410
And multiply to you as this verse in
00:00:49.477 --> 00:00:50.411
As this verse in 2 corinthians says.
00:00:50.478 --> 00:00:53.747
2 corinthians says. if you have a bad attitude,
00:00:53.814 --> 00:00:55.516
If you have a bad attitude, you'll take bad actions,
00:00:55.583 --> 00:00:57.218
You'll take bad actions, and bad actions
00:00:57.284 --> 00:00:58.152
And bad actions don't lead to increase,
00:00:58.219 --> 00:00:59.420
Don't lead to increase, bad actions lead to decrease.
00:00:59.487 --> 00:01:03.491
Bad actions lead to decrease. god wants to increase
00:01:03.557 --> 00:01:05.059
God wants to increase the potential
00:01:05.126 --> 00:01:05.726
The potential of generous people.
00:01:05.793 --> 00:01:08.896
Of generous people. why?
00:01:08.963 --> 00:01:09.463
Why? because he is a generous god.
00:01:09.530 --> 00:01:13.534
Because he is a generous god. now, the thing that i want you
00:01:13.601 --> 00:01:14.568
Now, the thing that i want you to understand about generosity
00:01:14.635 --> 00:01:16.370
To understand about generosity is that generosity is not
00:01:16.437 --> 00:01:18.272
Is that generosity is not you giving money or you donating
00:01:18.339 --> 00:01:20.774
You giving money or you donating something to someone else.
00:01:20.841 --> 00:01:23.177
Something to someone else. generosity has nothing
00:01:23.244 --> 00:01:24.411
Generosity has nothing to do with what you give.
00:01:24.478 --> 00:01:26.347
To do with what you give. generosity, in god's eyes,
00:01:26.413 --> 00:01:28.115
Generosity, in god's eyes, is how you give it.
00:01:28.182 --> 00:01:32.520
Is how you give it. it's the attitude
00:01:32.586 --> 00:01:33.521
It's the attitude with which you work.
00:01:33.587 --> 00:01:35.990
With which you work. and when you understand
00:01:36.056 --> 00:01:36.824
And when you understand this principle,
00:01:36.891 --> 00:01:37.791
This principle, you get the keys to unlocking
00:01:37.858 --> 00:01:40.594
You get the keys to unlocking the opportunity for your
00:01:40.661 --> 00:01:41.829
The opportunity for your potential to begin to grow.
00:01:41.896 --> 00:01:44.798
Potential to begin to grow. it's one of the most
00:01:44.865 --> 00:01:45.499
It's one of the most important truths that
00:01:45.566 --> 00:01:46.400
Important truths that we see in the bible and yet,
00:01:46.467 --> 00:01:47.801
We see in the bible and yet, so many people wanna narrow
00:01:47.868 --> 00:01:49.003
So many people wanna narrow it down to money,
00:01:49.069 --> 00:01:50.738
It down to money, and taking this topic
00:01:50.804 --> 00:01:51.405
And taking this topic and narrowing it down
00:01:51.472 --> 00:01:52.173
And narrowing it down to money is like looking
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:53.174
To money is like looking through a keyhole when you
00:01:53.240 --> 00:01:54.642
Through a keyhole when you have a panoramic of opportunity
00:01:54.708 --> 00:01:56.577
Have a panoramic of opportunity in front of you.
00:01:56.644 --> 00:01:59.313
In front of you. paul states the obvious
00:01:59.380 --> 00:02:00.514
Paul states the obvious in 2 corinthians 9:6,
00:02:00.581 --> 00:02:03.017
In 2 corinthians 9:6, but sometimes the obvious
00:02:03.083 --> 00:02:04.418
But sometimes the obvious can be overlooked
00:02:04.485 --> 00:02:05.519
Can be overlooked and easily forgotten.
00:02:05.586 --> 00:02:07.221
And easily forgotten. in 2 corinthians 9:6
00:02:07.288 --> 00:02:08.856
In 2 corinthians 9:6 he says very plainly,
00:02:08.923 --> 00:02:10.491
He says very plainly, "he who sows sparingly
00:02:10.558 --> 00:02:13.060
"he who sows sparingly will reap sparingly."
00:02:13.127 --> 00:02:15.629
Will reap sparingly." and then, he says,
00:02:15.696 --> 00:02:16.497
And then, he says, "and he who sows," how?
00:02:16.564 --> 00:02:17.932
"and he who sows," how? "bountifully will
00:02:17.998 --> 00:02:19.266
"bountifully will reap bountifully."
00:02:19.333 --> 00:02:21.936
Reap bountifully." when you watch people
00:02:22.002 --> 00:02:23.103
When you watch people let go of something,
00:02:23.170 --> 00:02:24.572
Let go of something, they let it go like
00:02:24.638 --> 00:02:26.173
They let it go like it's part of their lung.
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:28.309
[exhaling]
00:02:28.943 --> 00:02:29.743
[laughter]
00:02:30.678 --> 00:02:33.447
And yet,
00:02:34.615 --> 00:02:35.182
And yet, the bible says if you
00:02:35.249 --> 00:02:36.884
The bible says if you do it sparingly,
00:02:36.951 --> 00:02:38.485
Do it sparingly, when it comes harvest time,
00:02:38.552 --> 00:02:39.920
When it comes harvest time, guess what's gonna come
00:02:39.987 --> 00:02:40.521
Guess what's gonna come back to you?
00:02:40.588 --> 00:02:41.155
[exhaling]
00:02:42.056 --> 00:02:43.557
But if you do it generously,
00:02:45.726 --> 00:02:47.661
But if you do it generously, if you do it bountifully,
00:02:47.728 --> 00:02:49.263
If you do it bountifully, you're going
00:02:49.330 --> 00:02:49.930
You're going to receive generously,
00:02:49.997 --> 00:02:51.899
To receive generously, you're going
00:02:51.966 --> 00:02:52.499
You're going to receive bountifully.
00:02:52.566 --> 00:02:55.069
To receive bountifully. this is not just
00:02:55.135 --> 00:02:56.103
This is not just a 2 corinthians theme.
00:02:56.170 --> 00:02:57.738
A 2 corinthians theme. go read proverbs 11.
00:02:57.805 --> 00:02:59.940
Go read proverbs 11. it says,
00:03:00.007 --> 00:03:00.641
It says, "the one who scatters
00:03:00.708 --> 00:03:01.976
"the one who scatters and increases will grow more
00:03:02.042 --> 00:03:04.612
And increases will grow more and the one who withholds
00:03:04.678 --> 00:03:06.614
And the one who withholds will be led to poverty."
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:08.082
Will be led to poverty." verse 25 says,
00:03:08.148 --> 00:03:09.216
Verse 25 says, "a generous soul will
00:03:09.283 --> 00:03:10.651
"a generous soul will be made rich,
00:03:10.718 --> 00:03:12.119
Be made rich, and he who waters
00:03:12.186 --> 00:03:13.454
And he who waters will also be watered."
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.557
Will also be watered." when you have the right attitude
00:03:16.624 --> 00:03:17.925
When you have the right attitude about how you sow,
00:03:17.992 --> 00:03:21.295
About how you sow, you qualify to receive
00:03:21.362 --> 00:03:23.464
You qualify to receive the increase that god
00:03:23.530 --> 00:03:24.398
The increase that god has promised you.
00:03:24.465 --> 00:03:25.399
Has promised you. you are the one who decides
00:03:25.466 --> 00:03:27.401
You are the one who decides how much you grow based
00:03:27.468 --> 00:03:29.103
How much you grow based on how much you sow.
00:03:29.169 --> 00:03:32.039
On how much you sow. it's not up to god;
00:03:32.106 --> 00:03:33.274
It's not up to god; it's up to you.
00:03:33.340 --> 00:03:35.976
It's up to you. if you give one seed,
00:03:36.043 --> 00:03:38.812
If you give one seed, you'll receive one seed.
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.149
You'll receive one seed. but if you scatter it abroad,
00:03:42.216 --> 00:03:43.917
But if you scatter it abroad, if everywhere you go
00:03:43.984 --> 00:03:44.952
If everywhere you go you do it with the right heart,
00:03:45.019 --> 00:03:46.520
You do it with the right heart, you do it with
00:03:46.587 --> 00:03:47.121
You do it with the right mindset,
00:03:47.187 --> 00:03:48.088
The right mindset, you do it with
00:03:48.155 --> 00:03:48.689
You do it with the right attitude,
00:03:48.756 --> 00:03:49.556
The right attitude, god looks at you and says,
00:03:49.623 --> 00:03:50.824
God looks at you and says, "hey, we should turn
00:03:50.891 --> 00:03:52.226
"hey, we should turn the tap of generosity
00:03:52.293 --> 00:03:53.627
The tap of generosity on for that guy because he's
00:03:53.694 --> 00:03:55.229
On for that guy because he's down there doing our work."
00:03:55.296 --> 00:03:56.597
[applause]
00:03:57.364 --> 00:04:02.803
Now, verse 7 tells us very
00:04:03.304 --> 00:04:04.438
Now, verse 7 tells us very clearly in 2 corinthians 9
00:04:04.505 --> 00:04:07.641
Clearly in 2 corinthians 9 that this is not about
00:04:07.708 --> 00:04:08.442
That this is not about what you give,
00:04:08.509 --> 00:04:09.610
What you give, it's about how you give.
00:04:09.677 --> 00:04:12.746
It's about how you give. because in verse 7 it says,
00:04:12.813 --> 00:04:14.281
Because in verse 7 it says, "so let each one give
00:04:14.348 --> 00:04:15.816
"so let each one give as he proposes in his heart,
00:04:15.883 --> 00:04:19.353
As he proposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity;
00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:22.122
Not grudgingly or of necessity; for the lord loves,"
00:04:22.189 --> 00:04:24.191
For the lord loves," say that with me.
00:04:24.258 --> 00:04:25.125
Say that with me. "the lord loves
00:04:25.192 --> 00:04:27.761
"the lord loves a cheerful giver."
00:04:27.828 --> 00:04:30.397
A cheerful giver." why?
00:04:30.464 --> 00:04:31.598
Why? because god is a generous god,
00:04:31.665 --> 00:04:35.002
Because god is a generous god, and when you love
00:04:35.069 --> 00:04:35.736
And when you love what god loves,
00:04:35.803 --> 00:04:37.237
What god loves, god is drawn to you.
00:04:37.304 --> 00:04:39.473
God is drawn to you. god is generous,
00:04:39.540 --> 00:04:40.374
God is generous, he loves to give.
00:04:40.441 --> 00:04:42.943
He loves to give. read the bible,
00:04:43.010 --> 00:04:43.844
Read the bible, it'll tell you over and over
00:04:43.911 --> 00:04:45.279
It'll tell you over and over how much he loves to give.
00:04:45.346 --> 00:04:46.947
How much he loves to give. "for god so loved the world
00:04:47.014 --> 00:04:48.415
"for god so loved the world that he," did what?
00:04:48.482 --> 00:04:49.583
That he," did what? "he gave."
00:04:49.650 --> 00:04:51.785
"he gave." he didn't just give something,
00:04:51.852 --> 00:04:53.187
He didn't just give something, he gave everything.
00:04:53.253 --> 00:04:54.488
He gave everything. "his only begotten son that
00:04:54.555 --> 00:04:56.490
"his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him
00:04:56.557 --> 00:04:58.225
Whosoever believes in him should not perish
00:04:58.292 --> 00:04:59.326
Should not perish but have everlasting life."
00:04:59.393 --> 00:05:00.627
But have everlasting life." now, you say,
00:05:00.694 --> 00:05:01.195
Now, you say, "that's a salvation verse."
00:05:01.261 --> 00:05:02.096
"that's a salvation verse." no, it's not.
00:05:02.162 --> 00:05:02.830
No, it's not. it's a sowing and reaping verse.
00:05:02.896 --> 00:05:05.132
It's a sowing and reaping verse. god sowed his son,
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.234
God sowed his son, and you got to reap salvation.
00:05:07.301 --> 00:05:09.303
[applause]
00:05:10.504 --> 00:05:15.809
God is a generous god.
00:05:16.410 --> 00:05:17.611
God is a generous god. if he's a generous god,
00:05:17.678 --> 00:05:18.912
If he's a generous god, how can there
00:05:18.979 --> 00:05:19.847
How can there be stingy christians?
00:05:19.913 --> 00:05:23.183
Be stingy christians? psalms 145:16 it says
00:05:23.250 --> 00:05:26.120
Psalms 145:16 it says of the lord,
00:05:26.186 --> 00:05:26.820
Of the lord, "you open your hand
00:05:26.887 --> 00:05:28.255
"you open your hand and you satisfy the desire
00:05:28.322 --> 00:05:29.923
And you satisfy the desire of every living thing."
00:05:29.990 --> 00:05:33.093
Of every living thing." this verse tells us
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:33.927
This verse tells us that satisfaction comes
00:05:33.994 --> 00:05:35.496
That satisfaction comes from the open hand of god.
00:05:35.562 --> 00:05:38.465
From the open hand of god. if god's hand is open, is yours?
00:05:38.532 --> 00:05:44.505
If god's hand is open, is yours? you can't receive anything
00:05:44.571 --> 00:05:46.407
You can't receive anything with closed hands.
00:05:46.473 --> 00:05:49.042
With closed hands. not only can you not receive
00:05:49.109 --> 00:05:50.477
Not only can you not receive but you can't give
00:05:50.544 --> 00:05:52.279
But you can't give with closed hands.
00:05:52.346 --> 00:05:55.149
With closed hands. and when you have a stingy
00:05:55.215 --> 00:05:56.417
And when you have a stingy heart instead of a generous one,
00:05:56.483 --> 00:05:58.152
Heart instead of a generous one, you close yourself off
00:05:58.218 --> 00:06:00.154
You close yourself off to a god who wants
00:06:00.220 --> 00:06:01.388
To a god who wants to give and you close yourself
00:06:01.455 --> 00:06:03.390
To give and you close yourself off to the potential
00:06:03.457 --> 00:06:04.425
Off to the potential you have to grow,
00:06:04.491 --> 00:06:05.592
You have to grow, because you don't
00:06:05.659 --> 00:06:06.660
Because you don't have the right attitude.
00:06:06.727 --> 00:06:09.763
Have the right attitude. the bible says in deuteronomy
00:06:09.830 --> 00:06:11.231
The bible says in deuteronomy that those who have
00:06:11.298 --> 00:06:12.065

But when you partner with god, he's limitless.

Give it back to him. why?
00:07:40.420 --> 00:07:41.321
Why? verse 8,
00:07:41.388 --> 00:07:42.089
Verse 8, where we started reading,
00:07:42.155 --> 00:07:43.891
Where we started reading, because god is able.
00:07:43.957 --> 00:07:48.328
Because god is able. say that with me, "god is able."
00:07:48.395 --> 00:07:51.865
Say that with me, "god is able." when you're generous,
00:07:51.932 --> 00:07:53.000
When you're generous, when you cheerfully
00:07:53.066 --> 00:07:54.067
When you cheerfully and willingly open

Your hand to god, you access his unlimited ability

You access his unlimited ability to bless your life.
00:07:59.339 --> 00:08:01.208
To bless your life. you determine how much
00:08:01.275 --> 00:08:02.809
You determine how much he pours into you.
00:08:02.876 --> 00:08:06.146
He pours into you. "he's able,"
00:08:06.213 --> 00:08:07.047
"he's able," and the verse continues,
00:08:07.114 --> 00:08:08.482
And the verse continues, it says, "to make all grace."
00:08:08.549 --> 00:08:12.252
It says, "to make all grace." that's how you got
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:13.086
That's how you got what you have,
00:08:13.153 --> 00:08:14.021
What you have, through grace.
00:08:14.087 --> 00:08:15.822
Through grace. grace is what makes
00:08:15.889 --> 00:08:17.024
Grace is what makes the impossible, possible.
00:08:17.090 --> 00:08:19.126
The impossible, possible. grace is what heals the sick.
00:08:19.192 --> 00:08:20.928
Grace is what heals the sick. grace is what changes a life.
00:08:20.994 --> 00:08:22.796
Grace is what changes a life. grace is what opens up
00:08:22.863 --> 00:08:24.197
Grace is what opens up the doors of opportunity
00:08:24.264 --> 00:08:25.599
The doors of opportunity and makes a way where
00:08:25.666 --> 00:08:26.533
And makes a way where there seems to be no way.
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.035
There seems to be no way. and god in his grace says,
00:08:28.101 --> 00:08:29.937
And god in his grace says, "i will make all
00:08:30.003 --> 00:08:31.071
"i will make all of my sufficiency abundant
00:08:31.138 --> 00:08:33.206
Of my sufficiency abundant to you if you have a cheerful
00:08:33.273 --> 00:08:35.576
To you if you have a cheerful heart and a generous spirit."
00:08:35.642 --> 00:08:39.079
Heart and a generous spirit." that's why the bible says,
00:08:39.146 --> 00:08:39.780
That's why the bible says, "the lord loves
00:08:39.846 --> 00:08:40.981
"the lord loves a cheerful giver."
00:08:41.048 --> 00:08:44.551
A cheerful giver." not only does potential
00:08:44.618 --> 00:08:46.286
Not only does potential require the right process,
00:08:46.353 --> 00:08:49.289
Require the right process, but you need to know
00:08:49.356 --> 00:08:50.123
But you need to know that potential takes time.
00:08:50.190 --> 00:08:54.828
That potential takes time. potential takes time.
00:08:54.895 --> 00:08:59.299
Potential takes time. verse 10 in 2 corinthians 9
00:08:59.366 --> 00:09:02.803
Verse 10 in 2 corinthians 9 it says,
00:09:02.869 --> 00:09:03.403
It says, "now may he who supplies
00:09:03.470 --> 00:09:05.105
"now may he who supplies the seed to the sower,"
00:09:05.172 --> 00:09:06.573
The seed to the sower," that's god.
00:09:06.640 --> 00:09:07.741
That's god. you're the sower,
00:09:07.808 --> 00:09:08.742
You're the sower, he's the supplier.
00:09:08.809 --> 00:09:10.877
He's the supplier. it says, "may he supply
00:09:10.944 --> 00:09:12.646
It says, "may he supply and multiply,"
00:09:12.713 --> 00:09:14.715
And multiply," how many of you see potential
00:09:14.781 --> 00:09:16.016
How many of you see potential in that word "multiply"?
00:09:16.083 --> 00:09:18.685
In that word "multiply"? "may he supply and multiply
00:09:18.752 --> 00:09:21.221
"may he supply and multiply the seed that you have sown
00:09:21.288 --> 00:09:23.190
The seed that you have sown and increase,"
00:09:23.256 --> 00:09:24.625
And increase," how many of you see potential
00:09:24.691 --> 00:09:25.759
How many of you see potential in that word "increase"?
00:09:25.826 --> 00:09:27.694
In that word "increase"? "the fruits
00:09:27.761 --> 00:09:28.462
"the fruits of your righteousness."
00:09:28.528 --> 00:09:30.330
Of your righteousness." so, this verse brings
00:09:30.397 --> 00:09:31.131
So, this verse brings it to conclusion,
00:09:31.198 --> 00:09:32.065
It to conclusion, it says,
00:09:32.132 --> 00:09:32.666
It says, "when you sow it
00:09:32.733 --> 00:09:33.867
"when you sow it god will grow it,
00:09:33.934 --> 00:09:34.968
God will grow it, but not only will he grow it,
00:09:35.035 --> 00:09:36.436
But not only will he grow it, he'll increase it.
00:09:36.503 --> 00:09:37.504
He'll increase it. and not only will
00:09:37.571 --> 00:09:38.138
And not only will he increase it,
00:09:38.205 --> 00:09:38.905
He increase it, he'll multiply it."
00:09:38.972 --> 00:09:41.341
Esus spoke
00:09:41.742 --> 00:09:41.908
Seven powerful words
00:09:43.944 --> 00:09:45.278
That resonate through time.

We are commissioned to be light
00:09:50.417 --> 00:09:52.386
In a world
00:09:52.386 --> 00:09:53.186
Surrounded in darkness,
00:09:53.186 --> 00:09:54.521
Pain and loss.
00:09:54.521 --> 00:09:56.189
Now is the time to stand up,

He'll multiply it."
00:10:39.366 --> 00:10:39.800
He'll multiply it." why does it take time?
00:10:39.866 --> 00:10:40.967
Why does it take time? because when god multiplies
00:10:41.034 --> 00:10:42.269
Because when god multiplies and increases you,
00:10:42.335 --> 00:10:43.236
And increases you, if you don't grow the strength
00:10:43.303 --> 00:10:45.072
If you don't grow the strength to carry what he's going
00:10:45.138 --> 00:10:46.073
To carry what he's going to bless you with,
00:10:46.139 --> 00:10:47.808
To bless you with, it'll crush you.
00:10:47.874 --> 00:10:50.010
It'll crush you. god knows how much you
00:10:50.077 --> 00:10:51.044
God knows how much you can take and he's not gonna
00:10:51.111 --> 00:10:53.447
Can take and he's not gonna load you down with more than
00:10:53.513 --> 00:10:54.748
Load you down with more than you can bear.
00:10:54.815 --> 00:10:56.683
You can bear. 1 corinthians 10:13 it says,
00:10:56.750 --> 00:10:58.351
1 corinthians 10:13 it says, "god is faithful.
00:10:58.418 --> 00:11:00.420
"god is faithful. he'll not allow you
00:11:00.487 --> 00:11:01.221
He'll not allow you to be tempted beyond
00:11:01.288 --> 00:11:02.089
To be tempted beyond what you're able to carry."
00:11:02.155 --> 00:11:05.158
What you're able to carry." now, many times people
00:11:05.225 --> 00:11:06.026
Now, many times people think that this temptation
00:11:06.093 --> 00:11:07.494
Think that this temptation has to do with all
00:11:07.561 --> 00:11:08.628
Has to do with all of the lusts of the flesh,
00:11:08.695 --> 00:11:09.930
Of the lusts of the flesh, but sometimes god's goodness
00:11:09.996 --> 00:11:11.665
But sometimes god's goodness can be more than you can take.
00:11:11.732 --> 00:11:14.735
Can be more than you can take. there are some people
00:11:14.801 --> 00:11:15.469
There are some people that the only time
00:11:15.535 --> 00:11:16.136
That the only time they call out to god or come
00:11:16.203 --> 00:11:17.204
They call out to god or come to church is when
00:11:17.270 --> 00:11:17.971
To church is when they're desperate.
00:11:18.038 --> 00:11:20.440
They're desperate. when things are good,
00:11:20.507 --> 00:11:21.475
When things are good, they go to the coast.
00:11:21.541 --> 00:11:27.547
They go to the coast. and it's only when things
00:11:27.614 --> 00:11:28.381
And it's only when things are bad that they come
00:11:28.448 --> 00:11:29.182
Are bad that they come back to church.
00:11:29.249 --> 00:11:31.685
Back to church. well, when you show god that
00:11:31.752 --> 00:11:32.719
Well, when you show god that that's the only way you engage,
00:11:32.786 --> 00:11:34.254
That's the only way you engage, guess where he keeps you?
00:11:34.321 --> 00:11:35.555
Guess where he keeps you? in desperate straits.
00:11:35.622 --> 00:11:38.024
In desperate straits. he says,
00:11:38.091 --> 00:11:38.458
He says, "the only time we talk
00:11:38.525 --> 00:11:39.226
"the only time we talk is when you're in trouble.
00:11:39.292 --> 00:11:40.293
Is when you're in trouble. you just stay in trouble,
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.228
You just stay in trouble, and we'll stay connected."
00:11:41.294 --> 00:11:45.098
And we'll stay connected." the reason that it takes
00:11:45.165 --> 00:11:45.899
The reason that it takes time for potential to develop
00:11:45.966 --> 00:11:47.567
Time for potential to develop is because you have to grow
00:11:47.634 --> 00:11:48.802
Is because you have to grow strong enough to have
00:11:48.869 --> 00:11:49.870
Strong enough to have the character to carry what
00:11:49.936 --> 00:11:51.138
The character to carry what god's gonna hand you.
00:11:51.204 --> 00:11:52.439
Look at this principle
00:11:53.974 --> 00:11:54.808
Look at this principle in the bible,
00:11:54.875 --> 00:11:55.509
In the bible, it took time for joseph.
00:11:55.575 --> 00:11:58.512
It took time for joseph. the bible in genesis 37:2
00:11:58.578 --> 00:12:00.247
The bible in genesis 37:2 says that joseph
00:12:00.313 --> 00:12:01.081
Says that joseph was 17 years old,
00:12:01.148 --> 00:12:02.649
Was 17 years old, and in a dream, god gives
00:12:02.716 --> 00:12:04.217
And in a dream, god gives him a glimpse of his potential.
00:12:04.284 --> 00:12:06.153
Him a glimpse of his potential. he sees himself exalted
00:12:06.219 --> 00:12:07.988
He sees himself exalted and he sees others
00:12:08.054 --> 00:12:09.222
And he sees others bowing before him.
00:12:09.289 --> 00:12:10.524
Bowing before him. but then there begins
00:12:10.590 --> 00:12:11.658
But then there begins this process of joseph
00:12:11.725 --> 00:12:13.160
This process of joseph being in a pit and then sold
00:12:13.226 --> 00:12:14.694
Being in a pit and then sold into slavery
00:12:14.761 --> 00:12:15.595
Into slavery and then in a prison.
00:12:15.662 --> 00:12:16.563
And then in a prison. and in genesis 41 and 46
00:12:16.630 --> 00:12:18.665
And in genesis 41 and 46 it says that,
00:12:18.732 --> 00:12:19.432
It says that, "joseph being 30 years old
00:12:19.499 --> 00:12:21.835
"joseph being 30 years old is seated next to pharaoh."
00:12:21.902 --> 00:12:24.604
Is seated next to pharaoh." fourteen years he suffered,
00:12:24.671 --> 00:12:27.941
Fourteen years he suffered, but in that suffering
00:12:28.008 --> 00:12:29.009
But in that suffering he developed the character
00:12:29.075 --> 00:12:30.343
He developed the character that enabled him to lead.
00:12:30.410 --> 00:12:33.346
That enabled him to lead. it took years for david
00:12:33.413 --> 00:12:35.348
It took years for david to go from the anointed
00:12:35.415 --> 00:12:36.883
To go from the anointed to sitting on the throne.
00:12:36.950 --> 00:12:38.051
To sitting on the throne. why?
00:12:38.118 --> 00:12:38.819
Why? because it takes time.
00:12:38.885 --> 00:12:40.086
Because it takes time. it took 40 years,
00:12:40.153 --> 00:12:41.688
It took 40 years, four decades for moses
00:12:41.755 --> 00:12:43.423
Four decades for moses to be on the back side
00:12:43.490 --> 00:12:44.424
To be on the back side of the desert before
00:12:44.491 --> 00:12:45.425
Of the desert before he was humble and meek enough
00:12:45.492 --> 00:12:46.927
He was humble and meek enough to walk before pharaoh
00:12:46.993 --> 00:12:48.128
To walk before pharaoh and say,
00:12:48.195 --> 00:12:48.728
And say, "let my people go."
00:12:48.795 --> 00:12:51.031
"let my people go." in luke 2:40 it says
00:12:51.097 --> 00:12:53.433
In luke 2:40 it says of jesus christ,
00:12:53.500 --> 00:12:54.501
Of jesus christ, "the child grew and became
00:12:54.568 --> 00:12:55.836
"the child grew and became strong in spirit and wisdom,
00:12:55.902 --> 00:12:57.938
Strong in spirit and wisdom, and grace of god
00:12:58.004 --> 00:12:59.806
And grace of god was upon him."
00:12:59.873 --> 00:13:01.908
Was upon him." we don't see him again
00:13:01.975 --> 00:13:03.376
We don't see him again until he's 30,
00:13:03.443 --> 00:13:06.046
Until he's 30, which means it took time.
00:13:06.112 --> 00:13:08.114
Which means it took time. the point is,
00:13:08.181 --> 00:13:08.949
The point is, if it took time
00:13:09.015 --> 00:13:10.050
If it took time for god to use joseph,
00:13:10.116 --> 00:13:11.418
For god to use joseph, and moses,
00:13:11.484 --> 00:13:12.085
And moses, and david, and jesus,
00:13:12.152 --> 00:13:13.553
And david, and jesus, don't you think it's gonna
00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:14.554
Don't you think it's gonna take time for god
00:13:14.621 --> 00:13:15.622
Take time for god to grow and develop you?
00:13:15.689 --> 00:13:18.625
To grow and develop you? but the same way you grow
00:13:18.692 --> 00:13:20.260
But the same way you grow is the same way you sow.
00:13:20.327 --> 00:13:22.829
Is the same way you sow. you sow in grace because
00:13:22.896 --> 00:13:24.798
You sow in grace because god gave it to you
00:13:24.865 --> 00:13:26.199
God gave it to you and you grow in grace,
00:13:26.266 --> 00:13:30.136
And you grow in grace, because god gives it to you.
00:13:30.203 --> 00:13:32.639
Because god gives it to you. 2 peter 3:18 it says,
00:13:32.706 --> 00:13:34.875
2 peter 3:18 it says, "grow in the grace
00:13:34.941 --> 00:13:36.409
"grow in the grace and the knowledge of the lord
00:13:36.476 --> 00:13:37.744
And the knowledge of the lord and savior jesus christ.
00:13:37.811 --> 00:13:40.513
And savior jesus christ. you grow in grace.
00:13:40.580 --> 00:13:44.150
You grow in grace. you can increase your knowledge,
00:13:44.217 --> 00:13:46.253
You can increase your knowledge, but you don't grow until
00:13:46.319 --> 00:13:47.988
But you don't grow until god's grace is poured upon it.
00:13:48.054 --> 00:13:50.790
God's grace is poured upon it. how many of you have ever
00:13:50.857 --> 00:13:51.524
How many of you have ever read something and you
00:13:51.591 --> 00:13:54.027
Read something and you could repeat it,
00:13:54.094 --> 00:13:54.794
Could repeat it, but you didn't understand it?
00:13:54.861 --> 00:13:57.664
But you didn't understand it? like a marriage license.
00:13:57.731 --> 00:13:58.498
Like a marriage license. no, i'm kidding.
00:13:58.565 --> 00:13:58.965
[laughter]
00:13:59.432 --> 00:14:01.534
We do it with the word
00:14:03.103 --> 00:14:03.737
We do it with the word of god all the time.
00:14:03.803 --> 00:14:05.972
Of god all the time. we read something
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:06.840
We read something in the word of god,
00:14:06.907 --> 00:14:07.574
In the word of god, and we can quote the verse,
00:14:07.641 --> 00:14:08.875
And we can quote the verse, but we don't understand
00:14:08.942 --> 00:14:10.076
But we don't understand nor have the ability
00:14:10.143 --> 00:14:10.944
Nor have the ability to apply it.
00:14:11.011 --> 00:14:12.579
To apply it. why?
00:14:12.646 --> 00:14:13.480
Why? because god hasn't poured
00:14:13.546 --> 00:14:14.281
Because god hasn't poured out the grace to grow
00:14:14.347 --> 00:14:15.248
Out the grace to grow the truth in our life yet.
00:14:15.315 --> 00:14:18.885
The truth in our life yet. for some of you,
00:14:18.952 --> 00:14:19.519
For some of you, this is the first time
00:14:19.586 --> 00:14:20.320
This is the first time you're engaging in this idea
00:14:20.387 --> 00:14:22.122
You're engaging in this idea that a generous heart is what
00:14:22.188 --> 00:14:23.590
That a generous heart is what qualifies you for increase,
00:14:23.657 --> 00:14:25.191
Qualifies you for increase, not the gift you give,
00:14:25.258 --> 00:14:26.493
Not the gift you give, but the seed you sow
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:27.527
But the seed you sow and the attitude
00:14:27.594 --> 00:14:28.194
And the attitude you sow it with.
00:14:28.261 --> 00:14:30.530
You sow it with. and it takes grace
00:14:30.597 --> 00:14:31.765
And it takes grace to grow in that.
00:14:31.831 --> 00:14:34.434
To grow in that. whenever you experience god's
00:14:34.501 --> 00:14:35.869
Whenever you experience god's overwhelming abundance,
00:14:35.936 --> 00:14:36.970
Overwhelming abundance, if you're going to be able
00:14:37.037 --> 00:14:37.871
If you're going to be able to carry the increase,
00:14:37.938 --> 00:14:39.172
To carry the increase, you have to realize that
00:14:39.239 --> 00:14:40.540
You have to realize that potential is not only a process,
00:14:40.607 --> 00:14:42.976
Potential is not only a process, but it takes time.
00:14:43.043 --> 00:14:44.778
But it takes time. the last thing i wanna tell you
00:14:44.844 --> 00:14:45.946
The last thing i wanna tell you about potential is that you
00:14:46.012 --> 00:14:47.447
About potential is that you don't need to poison it.
00:14:47.514 --> 00:14:51.351
Don't need to poison it. we're talking about seed
00:14:51.418 --> 00:14:52.986
We're talking about seed and how it's sown,
00:14:53.053 --> 00:14:53.820
And how it's sown, and how it grows.
00:14:53.887 --> 00:14:57.190
And how it grows. and there's a lot of people
00:14:57.257 --> 00:14:58.024
And there's a lot of people in the world right now
00:14:58.091 --> 00:14:58.892
In the world right now that are worried about
00:14:58.959 --> 00:14:59.526
That are worried about the stuff they're spraying
00:14:59.592 --> 00:15:00.660
The stuff they're spraying on all of our fruits
00:15:00.727 --> 00:15:01.461
On all of our fruits and vegetables.
00:15:01.528 --> 00:15:04.631
And vegetables. they say, "oh, it's bad
00:15:04.698 --> 00:15:05.398
They say, "oh, it's bad for you."
00:15:05.465 --> 00:15:07.133
For you." that's why i eat chicken.
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:08.401
That's why i eat chicken. no, i'm kidding.
00:15:08.468 --> 00:15:09.035
[laughter]
00:15:09.436 --> 00:15:10.971
And they're not worried
00:15:12.872 --> 00:15:13.540
And they're not worried that what they're spraying
00:15:13.606 --> 00:15:14.341
That what they're spraying on it's gonna kill the fruit,
00:15:14.407 --> 00:15:16.576
On it's gonna kill the fruit, but they're worried
00:15:16.643 --> 00:15:17.377
But they're worried that it's gonna poison it,
00:15:17.444 --> 00:15:18.278
That it's gonna poison it, and it'll be harmful to you.
00:15:18.345 --> 00:15:21.081
And it'll be harmful to you. in like fashion,
00:15:21.147 --> 00:15:22.248
In like fashion, when you have potential,
00:15:22.315 --> 00:15:24.017
When you have potential, you need to know that you can
00:15:24.084 --> 00:15:25.385
You need to know that you can poison your potential.
00:15:25.452 --> 00:15:26.953
Poison your potential. you don't kill it,
00:15:27.020 --> 00:15:27.954
You don't kill it, but you can put things
00:15:28.021 --> 00:15:28.989
But you can put things on it that will keep
00:15:29.055 --> 00:15:29.923
On it that will keep it from being all it could be.
00:15:29.990 --> 00:15:32.692
It from being all it could be. and there's three things
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:33.660
And there's three things that i know for a fact
00:15:33.727 --> 00:15:35.328
That i know for a fact will poison your potential.
00:15:35.395 --> 00:15:37.230
Will poison your potential. the first, is crop comparison.
00:15:37.297 --> 00:15:42.202
The first, is crop comparison. when you compare what you have
00:15:42.268 --> 00:15:44.337
When you compare what you have to what somebody else has,
00:15:44.404 --> 00:15:45.939
To what somebody else has, you kill your potential.
00:15:46.006 --> 00:15:49.342
You kill your potential. don't poison your potential
00:15:49.409 --> 00:15:50.710
Don't poison your potential by comparing your life
00:15:50.777 --> 00:15:51.878
By comparing your life to other people.
00:15:51.945 --> 00:15:53.880
To other people. 2 corinthians 10 paul says,
00:15:53.947 --> 00:15:56.483
2 corinthians 10 paul says, "comparing themselves
00:15:56.549 --> 00:15:57.617
"comparing themselves among themselves,
00:15:57.684 --> 00:15:58.585
Among themselves, they are not wise."
00:15:58.651 --> 00:16:01.254
They are not wise." now, this is a difficult thing
00:16:01.321 --> 00:16:02.522
Now, this is a difficult thing to do because human beings have
00:16:02.589 --> 00:16:04.557
To do because human beings have an innate ability and a desire
00:16:04.624 --> 00:16:07.293
An innate ability and a desire to compare themselves.
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:08.228
To compare themselves. go look at little
00:16:08.294 --> 00:16:08.928
Go look at little kids play recess.
00:16:08.995 --> 00:16:11.564
Kids play recess. what do they do?
00:16:11.631 --> 00:16:12.399
What do they do? "how tall are you?
00:16:12.465 --> 00:16:15.068
"how tall are you? how old are you?"
00:16:15.135 --> 00:16:16.036
How old are you?" "i'm seven."
00:16:16.102 --> 00:16:16.669
"i'm seven." "i'm seven and a half."
00:16:16.736 --> 00:16:17.604
"i'm seven and a half." "i'm seven and three quarters."
00:16:17.670 --> 00:16:20.240
"i'm seven and three quarters." "how strong is your dad?"
00:16:20.306 --> 00:16:21.441
"how strong is your dad?" "my dad's so strong,
00:16:21.508 --> 00:16:22.342
"my dad's so strong, he lifted a car.
00:16:22.409 --> 00:16:23.443
He lifted a car. my dad's so strong,
00:16:23.510 --> 00:16:24.544
My dad's so strong, he held up our house."
00:16:24.611 --> 00:16:25.445
[laughter]
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:28.014
It doesn't matter,
00:16:29.315 --> 00:16:29.983
It doesn't matter, they just compare,
00:16:30.050 --> 00:16:30.817
They just compare, compare, compare, compare.
00:16:30.884 --> 00:16:32.552
Compare, compare, compare. why?
00:16:32.619 --> 00:16:33.053
Why? because they wanna
00:16:33.119 --> 00:16:33.620
Because they wanna know how they measure up.
00:16:33.686 --> 00:16:34.621
Know how they measure up. and the thing that's funny
00:16:34.687 --> 00:16:35.522
And the thing that's funny to me about kids is
00:16:35.588 --> 00:16:36.456
To me about kids is it doesn't matter
00:16:36.523 --> 00:16:36.990
It doesn't matter if they're seven,
00:16:37.057 --> 00:16:37.657
If they're seven, or seventy seven,
00:16:37.724 --> 00:16:38.525
Or seventy seven, the game
00:16:38.591 --> 00:16:39.059
The game is always the same.
00:16:39.125 --> 00:16:41.594
Is always the same. the older they get,
00:16:41.661 --> 00:16:42.362
The older they get, they just compare
00:16:42.429 --> 00:16:43.129
They just compare different things.
00:16:43.196 --> 00:16:43.763
Different things. "what kind of watch
00:16:43.830 --> 00:16:44.330
"what kind of watch are you wearing?
00:16:44.397 --> 00:16:44.964
Are you wearing? what kind of house
00:16:45.031 --> 00:16:45.799
What kind of house do you live in?
00:16:45.865 --> 00:16:46.666
Do you live in? where did you go for vacation?
00:16:46.733 --> 00:16:47.967
Where did you go for vacation? who did you go with?
00:16:48.034 --> 00:16:48.968
Who did you go with? how did you get there?
00:16:49.035 --> 00:16:49.636
How did you get there? first class, coach or bus?"
00:16:49.702 --> 00:16:51.237
[laughter]
00:16:52.172 --> 00:16:53.206
And it's not that they care,
00:16:54.140 --> 00:16:55.475
And it's not that they care, they just wanna compare
00:16:55.542 --> 00:16:58.178
They just wanna compare because they wanna know
00:16:58.244 --> 00:16:59.312
Because they wanna know if i'm better than you
00:16:59.379 --> 00:17:00.814
If i'm better than you or if i'm less than you.
00:17:00.880 --> 00:17:03.149
Or if i'm less than you. the problem is,
00:17:03.216 --> 00:17:03.917
The problem is, when you compare
00:17:03.983 --> 00:17:04.517
When you compare yourself to others,
00:17:04.584 --> 00:17:05.618
Yourself to others, if you look at somebody
00:17:05.685 --> 00:17:06.886
If you look at somebody who's less than,
00:17:06.953 --> 00:17:07.620
Who's less than, you'll feel greater than,
00:17:07.687 --> 00:17:08.922
You'll feel greater than, and that's not
00:17:08.988 --> 00:17:09.522
And that's not a fair measurement.
00:17:09.589 --> 00:17:10.390
A fair measurement. and when you look at somebody
00:17:10.457 --> 00:17:11.157
And when you look at somebody who's greater than,
00:17:11.224 --> 00:17:11.958
Who's greater than, you feel less than,
00:17:12.025 --> 00:17:13.259
You feel less than, and that's not
00:17:13.326 --> 00:17:13.793
And that's not a fair measurement.
00:17:13.860 --> 00:17:15.195
A fair measurement. the only measurement
00:17:15.261 --> 00:17:16.162
The only measurement for your life should
00:17:16.229 --> 00:17:17.163
For your life should be the truth of god's word,
00:17:17.230 --> 00:17:18.965
Be the truth of god's word, and the only way that you
00:17:19.032 --> 00:17:20.066
And the only way that you can measure up to his truth
00:17:20.133 --> 00:17:21.634
Can measure up to his truth is through his grace.
00:17:21.701 --> 00:17:22.902
[applause]
00:17:23.503 --> 00:17:27.874
Paul said,
00:17:28.441 --> 00:17:30.577
Paul said, "we will not compare
00:17:30.643 --> 00:17:31.478
"we will not compare ourselves nor will
00:17:31.544 --> 00:17:33.046
Ourselves nor will we boast beyond measure,
00:17:33.113 --> 00:17:34.881
We boast beyond measure, but within the limits
00:17:34.948 --> 00:17:36.282
But within the limits of the sphere,"
00:17:36.349 --> 00:17:37.550
Of the sphere," say that with me,
00:17:37.617 --> 00:17:38.485
Say that with me, "within the limits
00:17:38.551 --> 00:17:40.520
"within the limits of the sphere
00:17:40.587 --> 00:17:41.888
Of the sphere "which god appointed us,"
00:17:41.955 --> 00:17:44.224
"which god appointed us," 2 corinthians 10:13.
00:17:44.290 --> 00:17:46.593
2 corinthians 10:13. he said,
00:17:46.659 --> 00:17:47.093
He said, "within the limits
00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:48.194
"within the limits of the sphere which
00:17:48.261 --> 00:17:50.063
Of the sphere which god appointed us."
00:17:50.130 --> 00:17:51.264
God appointed us." he said, "the only place
00:17:51.331 --> 00:17:52.398
He said, "the only place that we're going
00:17:52.465 --> 00:17:53.066
That we're going to discuss any measure
00:17:53.133 --> 00:17:54.234
To discuss any measure of grace or expertise
00:17:54.300 --> 00:17:55.935
Of grace or expertise is within the parameters
00:17:56.002 --> 00:17:57.770
Is within the parameters of where god has
00:17:57.837 --> 00:17:58.638
Of where god has gifted us and appointed us."
00:17:58.705 --> 00:18:01.774
Gifted us and appointed us." now, what this says is that
00:18:01.841 --> 00:18:03.276
Now, what this says is that my potential is able to grow
00:18:03.343 --> 00:18:06.212
My potential is able to grow limitlessly within the sphere
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:09.616
Limitlessly within the sphere that god has appointed me.
00:18:09.682 --> 00:18:11.718
That god has appointed me. he's appointed me to minister.
00:18:11.784 --> 00:18:14.554
He's appointed me to minister. he's appointed me
00:18:14.621 --> 00:18:15.688
He's appointed me to this church.
00:18:15.755 --> 00:18:16.990
To this church. i have potential to do great
00:18:17.056 --> 00:18:18.525
I have potential to do great things as long
00:18:18.591 --> 00:18:19.459
Things as long as i'm doing that.
00:18:19.526 --> 00:18:21.961
As i'm doing that. but don't let me fool myself
00:18:22.028 --> 00:18:24.164
But don't let me fool myself and look at your life and go,
00:18:24.230 --> 00:18:25.231
And look at your life and go, "well, i could do your job."
00:18:25.298 --> 00:18:26.299
"well, i could do your job." no, i can't.
00:18:26.366 --> 00:18:27.133
No, i can't. that's not the sphere
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:28.201
That's not the sphere that god appointed me to.
00:18:28.268 --> 00:18:30.870
That god appointed me to. and don't look at my life
00:18:30.937 --> 00:18:31.871
And don't look at my life and go,
00:18:31.938 --> 00:18:32.272
And go, "well, i could do that."
00:18:32.338 --> 00:18:33.339
"well, i could do that." no, you can't.
00:18:33.406 --> 00:18:34.140
No, you can't. that's not the sphere that god
00:18:34.207 --> 00:18:35.642
That's not the sphere that god appointed you to.
00:18:35.708 --> 00:18:38.111
Appointed you to. when you are operating
00:18:38.178 --> 00:18:39.312
When you are operating within the limit of the sphere
00:18:39.379 --> 00:18:40.914
Within the limit of the sphere as paul says,
00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:41.948
As paul says, you have unlimited potential
00:18:42.015 --> 00:18:43.816
You have unlimited potential because that's right
00:18:43.883 --> 00:18:44.584
Because that's right where god wants you.
00:18:44.651 --> 00:18:47.053
Where god wants you. so, don't compare yourself
00:18:47.120 --> 00:18:48.655
So, don't compare yourself with somebody else and think,
00:18:48.721 --> 00:18:49.822
With somebody else and think, "well, i can do
00:18:49.889 --> 00:18:50.723
"well, i can do what they can do."
00:18:50.790 --> 00:18:51.291
What they can do." no, you do what god created
00:18:51.357 --> 00:18:52.859
No, you do what god created you to do and that's where
00:18:52.926 --> 00:18:54.127
You to do and that's where your potential will thrive.
00:18:54.194 --> 00:18:55.395
[applause]
00:18:55.895 --> 00:19:00.900
When you operate within
00:19:01.534 --> 00:19:02.402
When you operate within your god-given potential,
00:19:02.468 --> 00:19:03.670
Your god-given potential, you have the opportunity
00:19:03.736 --> 00:19:05.038
You have the opportunity to bless others.
00:19:05.104 --> 00:19:05.972
To bless others. when you get outside
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:07.273
When you get outside of your god-given potential,
00:19:07.340 --> 00:19:08.474
Of your god-given potential, you harm others.
00:19:08.541 --> 00:19:11.711
You harm others. go read john 21:23.
00:19:11.778 --> 00:19:14.247
Go read john 21:23. there, jesus christ is having
00:19:14.314 --> 00:19:15.715
There, jesus christ is having a conversation with peter.
00:19:15.782 --> 00:19:18.418
A conversation with peter. he's just forgiven peter.
00:19:18.484 --> 00:19:21.087
He's just forgiven peter. he's asked peter three times,
00:19:21.154 --> 00:19:22.989
He's asked peter three times, "do you love me?"
00:19:23.056 --> 00:19:23.823
"do you love me?" peter says,
00:19:23.890 --> 00:19:24.424
Peter says, "i love you."
00:19:24.490 --> 00:19:25.091
"i love you." "do you love me?"
00:19:25.158 --> 00:19:25.758
"do you love me?" "i love you."
00:19:25.825 --> 00:19:26.292
"i love you." do you love me?"
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:26.926
Do you love me?" "i love you."
00:19:26.993 --> 00:19:27.560
"i love you." and then, jesus tells peter,
00:19:27.627 --> 00:19:28.995
And then, jesus tells peter, "i want you to follow me
00:19:29.062 --> 00:19:30.430
"i want you to follow me and i'm going to use you
00:19:30.496 --> 00:19:31.798
And i'm going to use you to establish my kingdom
00:19:31.864 --> 00:19:33.066
To establish my kingdom and where it takes you,
00:19:33.132 --> 00:19:34.200
And where it takes you, you're not going
00:19:34.267 --> 00:19:34.767
You're not going to like, peter."
00:19:34.834 --> 00:19:36.603
To like, peter." he says,
00:19:36.669 --> 00:19:37.003
He says, "they're gonna kill you
00:19:37.070 --> 00:19:37.904
"they're gonna kill you for my sake, peter."
00:19:37.971 --> 00:19:40.707
For my sake, peter." "well, gee,
00:19:40.773 --> 00:19:41.174
"well, gee, thanks, jesus."
00:19:41.241 --> 00:19:44.344
Thanks, jesus." and while they're having
00:19:44.410 --> 00:19:45.712
And while they're having this conversation,
00:19:45.778 --> 00:19:47.680
This conversation, peter looks over
00:19:47.747 --> 00:19:48.481
Peter looks over his shoulder at john,
00:19:48.548 --> 00:19:51.384
His shoulder at john, and he says,
00:19:51.451 --> 00:19:51.884
And he says, "what about him?
00:19:51.951 --> 00:19:53.786
"what about him? can we get him killed too?"
00:19:53.853 --> 00:19:55.221
[laughter]
00:19:55.822 --> 00:19:57.457
What's he doing?
00:19:58.258 --> 00:20:00.026
What's he doing? he's comparing.
00:20:00.093 --> 00:20:02.362
He's comparing. "if you're gonna use me
00:20:02.428 --> 00:20:03.329
"if you're gonna use me and it's gonna cost me that,
00:20:03.396 --> 00:20:05.632
And it's gonna cost me that, well, what are you
00:20:05.698 --> 00:20:06.432
Well, what are you gonna do with him?"
00:20:06.499 --> 00:20:08.401
Gonna do with him?" i mean, he's just had one
00:20:08.468 --> 00:20:09.669
I mean, he's just had one of the most
00:20:09.736 --> 00:20:10.270
Of the most gracious conversations
00:20:10.336 --> 00:20:11.871
Gracious conversations a human being has ever had.
00:20:11.938 --> 00:20:13.172
A human being has ever had. he denied jesus three times,
00:20:13.239 --> 00:20:15.308
He denied jesus three times, jesus forgives him three times,
00:20:15.375 --> 00:20:17.343
Jesus forgives him three times, and not two minutes later,
00:20:17.410 --> 00:20:18.811
And not two minutes later, he's saying,
00:20:18.878 --> 00:20:19.279
He's saying, "well, what about john?"
00:20:19.345 --> 00:20:22.382
"well, what about john?" and here's something that
00:20:22.448 --> 00:20:23.249
And here's something that you need to read, john 21:23,
00:20:23.316 --> 00:20:25.585
You need to read, john 21:23, this is what jesus tells peter.
00:20:25.652 --> 00:20:28.688
This is what jesus tells peter. he says,
00:20:28.755 --> 00:20:29.389
He says, "if i will that he remains
00:20:29.455 --> 00:20:31.791
"if i will that he remains until i come,
00:20:31.858 --> 00:20:33.126
Until i come, what is that to you?"
00:20:33.192 --> 00:20:37.597
What is that to you?" jesus didn't say it
00:20:37.664 --> 00:20:38.765
Jesus didn't say it like you see it on tv,
00:20:38.831 --> 00:20:40.366
Like you see it on tv, "what is that to you?"
00:20:40.433 --> 00:20:43.503
"what is that to you?" he said it this way,
00:20:43.569 --> 00:20:45.505
He said it this way, "pete, what i'm gonna
00:20:45.571 --> 00:20:47.407
"pete, what i'm gonna do with j is none
00:20:47.473 --> 00:20:49.442
Do with j is none of your business."
00:20:49.509 --> 00:20:50.710
[cheering and applause]
00:20:51.511 --> 00:20:57.884
And there are some of you
00:20:58.017 --> 00:20:58.918
And there are some of you that need to allow that
00:20:58.985 --> 00:21:00.019
That need to allow that truth to sink in.
00:21:00.086 --> 00:21:02.655
Truth to sink in. what god is doing with other
00:21:02.722 --> 00:21:04.624
What god is doing with other people is none of your business.
00:21:04.691 --> 00:21:09.495
[applause]
00:21:11.931 --> 00:21:18.171
I thought they would've got
00:21:18.671 --> 00:21:19.205
I thought they would've got more blessed by that,
00:21:19.272 --> 00:21:20.273
More blessed by that, but that's okay.
00:21:20.340 --> 00:21:22.875
But that's okay. maybe they're worried
00:21:22.942 --> 00:21:23.776
Maybe they're worried about what others think.
00:21:23.843 --> 00:21:26.913
About what others think. the point is,
00:21:26.979 --> 00:21:27.513
The point is, god has a plan for your life
00:21:27.580 --> 00:21:30.350
God has a plan for your life and god has a plan
00:21:30.416 --> 00:21:31.351
And god has a plan for their life,
00:21:31.417 --> 00:21:32.985
For their life, and the only way that
00:21:33.052 --> 00:21:33.820
And the only way that you can increase your
00:21:33.886 --> 00:21:34.721
You can increase your potential is you live
00:21:34.787 --> 00:21:35.621
Potential is you live out god's plan for you.
00:21:35.688 --> 00:21:37.957
Out god's plan for you. the second thing that poisons
00:21:38.024 --> 00:21:39.158
The second thing that poisons your potential is bitterness.
00:21:39.225 --> 00:21:43.496
Your potential is bitterness. bitterness.
00:21:43.563 --> 00:21:45.665
Bitterness. if you have a bitter root,
00:21:45.732 --> 00:21:47.433
If you have a bitter root, you're gonna have bitter fruit.
00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:50.470
You're gonna have bitter fruit. and 2 corinthians 9 says that,
00:21:50.536 --> 00:21:52.672
And 2 corinthians 9 says that, "god wants to increase
00:21:52.739 --> 00:21:54.607
"god wants to increase the fruits
00:21:54.674 --> 00:21:56.542
The fruits of your righteousness,"
00:21:56.609 --> 00:21:58.511
Of your righteousness," not your bitterness.
00:21:58.578 --> 00:22:00.780
Not your bitterness. hebrews 12:15 it says,
00:22:00.847 --> 00:22:02.815
Hebrews 12:15 it says, "lest any root of bitterness
00:22:02.882 --> 00:22:04.150
"lest any root of bitterness spring up and causes trouble,
00:22:04.217 --> 00:22:05.818
Spring up and causes trouble, by this many become defiled."
00:22:05.885 --> 00:22:09.422
By this many become defiled." if bitterness has a root,
00:22:09.489 --> 00:22:10.823
If bitterness has a root, then bitterness
00:22:10.890 --> 00:22:11.391
Then bitterness starts with a seed.
00:22:11.457 --> 00:22:14.827
Starts with a seed. and bitter seed
00:22:14.894 --> 00:22:15.862

It's going to spring up. that word "spring up"
00:22:33.946 --> 00:22:35.248
That word "spring up" doesn't mean that it just
00:22:35.314 --> 00:22:36.315
Doesn't mean that it just kind of gradually grows.
00:22:36.382 --> 00:22:37.483
Kind of gradually grows. it means that one day
00:22:37.550 --> 00:22:38.451

Of the root of bitterness that has sprung up
