- Need to hear that i'm a sinner. i'm unworthy. i'm
- 00:05:02.157 --> 00:05:03.959
- Sinner. i'm unworthy. i'm broken. i've got issues.” the
- 00:05:04.025 --> 00:05:05.727
- Broken. i've got issues.” the problem with that approach,
- 00:05:05.794 --> 00:05:07.462
- Problem with that approach, is you're moving toward who
- 00:05:07.529 --> 00:05:09.297
- Is you're moving toward who you think you are. your
- 00:05:09.364 --> 00:05:10.899
- You think you are. your thoughts are going to become
- 00:05:10.966 --> 00:05:12.167
- Thoughts are going to become a reality. even
- 00:05:12.234 --> 00:05:13.802
- A reality. even subconsciously you're
- 00:05:13.869 --> 00:05:15.170
- Subconsciously you're gravitating toward what
- 00:05:15.237 --> 00:05:16.972
- Gravitating toward what you're telling yourself. the
- 00:05:17.038 --> 00:05:18.740
- You're telling yourself. the scripture says you will
- 00:05:18.807 --> 00:05:19.975
- Scripture says you will become what you believe. the
- 00:05:20.041 --> 00:05:22.577
- Become what you believe. the enemy would love for you to
- 00:05:22.644 --> 00:05:23.845
- Enemy would love for you to believe that you're mediocre,
- 00:05:23.912 --> 00:05:25.947
- Believe that you're mediocre, you'll always struggle.
- 00:05:26.014 --> 00:05:27.416
- You'll always struggle. you're an addict, you'll
- 00:05:27.482 --> 00:05:28.784
- You're an addict, you'll never be free. or you're not
- 00:05:28.850 --> 00:05:30.585
- Never be free. or you're not attractive, you're not
- 00:05:30.652 --> 00:05:31.820
- Attractive, you're not valuable, nobody wants you.
- 00:05:31.887 --> 00:05:33.855
- Valuable, nobody wants you. if you let those thoughts
- 00:05:33.922 --> 00:05:35.090
- If you let those thoughts play, you're giving them a
- 00:05:35.157 --> 00:05:36.858
- Play, you're giving them a right to become a reality.
- 00:05:36.925 --> 00:05:39.494
- Right to become a reality. quit calling out the wrong
- 00:05:39.561 --> 00:05:40.762
- Quit calling out the wrong you, the lonely you, the
- 00:05:40.829 --> 00:05:42.564
- You, the lonely you, the addicted you, the broke you.
- 00:05:42.631 --> 00:05:44.499
- Addicted you, the broke you. there's a king in you waiting
- 00:05:44.566 --> 00:05:46.535
- There's a king in you waiting for your call. instead of,
- 00:05:46.601 --> 00:05:48.537
- For your call. instead of, “i'm a sinner. so unworthy.”
- 00:05:48.603 --> 00:05:50.772
- “i'm a sinner. so unworthy.” no how about, “i used to be a
- 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:52.374
- No how about, “i used to be a sinner, but i've been saved
- 00:05:52.441 --> 00:05:53.975
- Sinner, but i've been saved by grace. now i'm a son. i
- 00:05:54.042 --> 00:05:56.845
- By grace. now i'm a son. i used to be unworthy, but god
- 00:05:56.912 --> 00:05:59.147
- Used to be unworthy, but god has made me worthy. i'm
- 00:05:59.214 --> 00:06:01.183
- Has made me worthy. i'm covered by the blood of
- 00:06:01.249 --> 00:06:02.217
- Covered by the blood of jesus, redeemed, forgiven, a
- 00:06:02.284 --> 00:06:04.286
- Jesus, redeemed, forgiven, a new creation,” when you have
- 00:06:04.352 --> 00:06:06.354
- New creation,” when you have that kind of attitude, it's
- 00:06:06.421 --> 00:06:07.956
- That kind of attitude, it's going to help you resist the
- 00:06:08.023 --> 00:06:09.191
- Going to help you resist the temptation, make better
- 00:06:09.257 --> 00:06:10.992
- Temptation, make better decisions. that's what you're
- 00:06:11.059 --> 00:06:12.527
- Decisions. that's what you're moving toward, valuable,
- 00:06:12.594 --> 00:06:14.463
- Moving toward, valuable, worthy, forgiven. if you go
- 00:06:14.529 --> 00:06:16.631
- Worthy, forgiven. if you go around focused on your flaws,
- 00:06:16.698 --> 00:06:18.600
- Around focused on your flaws, how you don't measure up, you
- 00:06:18.667 --> 00:06:20.068
- How you don't measure up, you don't deserve god's goodness.
- 00:06:20.135 --> 00:06:21.970
- Don't deserve god's goodness. that's going to pull you
- 00:06:22.037 --> 00:06:22.604
- That's going to pull you down, cause you to compromise
- 00:06:22.671 --> 00:06:24.473
- Down, cause you to compromise more. the king in you will
- 00:06:24.539 --> 00:06:26.675
- More. the king in you will help you overcome the bad
- 00:06:26.741 --> 00:06:28.009
- Help you overcome the bad habits. when the king rises
- 00:06:28.076 --> 00:06:30.011
- Habits. when the king rises up, you can rule over the
- 00:06:30.078 --> 00:06:31.379
- Up, you can rule over the temptation, rule over the
- 00:06:31.446 --> 00:06:33.081
- Temptation, rule over the things that are holding you
- 00:06:33.148 --> 00:06:34.115
- Things that are holding you back.
- 00:06:34.182 --> 00:06:35.383
- Back. but the enemy would love for
- 00:06:35.450 --> 00:06:36.685
- But the enemy would love for us to live thinking, we're
- 00:06:36.751 --> 00:06:37.919
- Us to live thinking, we're not good enough. we're so
- 00:06:37.986 --> 00:06:39.721
- Not good enough. we're so unworthy, so undeserving.
- 00:06:39.788 --> 00:06:42.557
- Unworthy, so undeserving. that's the way you used to
- 00:06:42.624 --> 00:06:43.859
- That's the way you used to be, but when you gave your
- 00:06:43.925 --> 00:06:45.527
- Be, but when you gave your life to christ, he put on you
- 00:06:45.594 --> 00:06:47.329
- Life to christ, he put on you a robe of righteousness. one
- 00:06:47.395 --> 00:06:49.498
- A robe of righteousness. one translation calls it, the
- 00:06:49.564 --> 00:06:50.799
- Translation calls it, the robe of god's approval. that
- 00:06:50.866 --> 00:06:53.335
- Robe of god's approval. that doesn't mean you do
- 00:06:53.401 --> 00:06:54.736
- Doesn't mean you do everything right. we all make
- 00:06:54.803 --> 00:06:55.770
- Everything right. we all make mistakes, but you should live
- 00:06:55.837 --> 00:06:58.006
- Mistakes, but you should live from a worthy, forgiven,
- 00:06:58.073 --> 00:07:00.342
- From a worthy, forgiven, valuable, god is pleased with
- 00:07:00.408 --> 00:07:02.744
- Valuable, god is pleased with me mentality. if not, and you
- 00:07:02.811 --> 00:07:05.680
- Me mentality. if not, and you let that king stay dormant,
- 00:07:05.747 --> 00:07:07.382
- Let that king stay dormant, you won't be able to rule
- 00:07:07.449 --> 00:07:08.450
- You won't be able to rule over the guilt, the shame.
- 00:07:08.517 --> 00:07:10.752
- Over the guilt, the shame. thoughts telling you, “i'm

- What i've done.” there's not a mistake you've made that's
- 00:07:16.324 --> 00:07:18.193
- A mistake you've made that's too much for the mercy of
- 00:07:18.260 --> 00:07:19.361

- Peter that he couldn't see in himself. he chose him as his
- 00:08:16.418 --> 00:08:18.320
- Himself. he chose him as his first disciple. a little
- 00:08:18.386 --> 00:08:19.955

- 00:14:05.199 --> 00:14:06.968

- Ten thousand at my right hand, but it will not stop

- Me.” (applause) let me tell you, you are not

- Let me tell you, you are not weak, defeated, unable. you
- 00:15:32.820 --> 00:15:35.590
- Weak, defeated, unable. you have the power of the most

- Have the power of the most high god on the inside of

- High god on the inside of you. the same power that
- 00:15:38.459 --> 00:15:40.461
- You. the same power that raised christ from the dead.
- 00:15:40.528 --> 00:15:42.530
- Raised christ from the dead. now call out the strong,
- 00:15:42.597 --> 00:15:44.032
- Now call out the strong, courageous, determined,

- Anointed warrior that god put in you. you don't have to go
- 00:15:48.336 --> 00:15:50.004
- In you. you don't have to go looking for a king. thinking
- 00:15:50.071 --> 00:15:51.906
- Looking for a king. thinking you're dependent on someone
- 00:15:51.973 --> 00:15:53.041
- You're dependent on someone else to help you, free you,
- 00:15:53.107 --> 00:15:54.842
- Else to help you, free you, provide for you. look no
- 00:15:54.909 --> 00:15:56.244
- Provide for you. look no further, the king is in you.
- 00:15:56.310 --> 00:15:58.679
- Further, the king is in you. what you need for every
- 00:15:58.746 --> 00:15:59.981
- What you need for every season of your life is
- 00:16:00.048 --> 00:16:01.749
- Season of your life is already on the inside. now
- 00:16:01.816 --> 00:16:04.118
- Already on the inside. now you have to be on the
- 00:16:04.185 --> 00:16:05.119
- You have to be on the offensive and call it out. if
- 00:16:05.186 --> 00:16:07.822
- Offensive and call it out. if not, the weak you will
- 00:16:07.889 --> 00:16:09.357
- Not, the weak you will dominate. the “why did this
- 00:16:09.424 --> 00:16:11.459
- Dominate. the “why did this happen? it's not fair.” the
- 00:16:11.526 --> 00:16:12.927
- Happen? it's not fair.” the victim you will show up.
- 00:16:12.994 --> 00:16:14.729
- Victim you will show up. telling you to be depressed,
- 00:16:14.796 --> 00:16:16.531
- Telling you to be depressed, to get even. you have to rule
- 00:16:16.597 --> 00:16:18.599
- To get even. you have to rule over those thoughts. rule
- 00:16:18.666 --> 00:16:20.334
- Over those thoughts. rule over your emotions. don't try
- 00:16:20.401 --> 00:16:22.336
- Over your emotions. don't try to pay people back. be still

- To pay people back. be still and know that he is god. when
- 00:16:24.572 --> 00:16:26.507
- And know that he is god. when you let the king come out,
- 00:16:26.574 --> 00:16:27.909
- You let the king come out, you stay in peace. instead of
- 00:16:27.975 --> 00:16:29.744
- You stay in peace. instead of worrying, you're worshipping.
- 00:16:29.811 --> 00:16:31.846
- Worrying, you're worshipping. thanking god that he's
- 00:16:31.913 --> 00:16:32.780
- Thanking god that he's fighting your battles.
- 00:16:32.847 --> 00:16:33.981
- Fighting your battles. instead of complaining,
- 00:16:34.048 --> 00:16:35.316
- Instead of complaining, you're speaking victory.
- 00:16:35.383 --> 00:16:36.984
- You're speaking victory. “this too shall pass. healing
- 00:16:37.051 --> 00:16:38.653
- “this too shall pass. healing is coming, freedom is coming,
- 00:16:38.719 --> 00:16:40.455
- Is coming, freedom is coming, abundance is coming.”
- 00:16:40.521 --> 00:16:42.390
- When my father went to be
- 00:16:42.490 --> 00:16:43.424
- When my father went to be with the lord, i knew i was
- 00:16:43.491 --> 00:16:44.725
- With the lord, i knew i was supposed to step up and
- 00:16:44.792 --> 00:16:45.693
- Supposed to step up and pastor the church, but i
- 00:16:45.760 --> 00:16:47.061
- Pastor the church, but i didn't feel qualified. i had
- 00:16:47.128 --> 00:16:48.629
- Didn't feel qualified. i had never ministered except one
- 00:16:48.696 --> 00:16:50.064
- Never ministered except one time. i had never been to
- 00:16:50.131 --> 00:16:51.365
- Time. i had never been to seminary, didn't have the
- 00:16:51.432 --> 00:16:52.834
- Seminary, didn't have the training. my father had this
- 00:16:52.900 --> 00:16:54.936
- Training. my father had this big personality, strong and
- 00:16:55.002 --> 00:16:57.105
- Big personality, strong and powerful. i'm more quiet and
- 00:16:57.171 --> 00:16:59.474
- Powerful. i'm more quiet and reserved. i liked being
- 00:16:59.540 --> 00:17:00.942
- Reserved. i liked being behind the scenes. all these
- 00:17:01.008 --> 00:17:02.810
- Behind the scenes. all these thoughts told me that i
- 00:17:02.877 --> 00:17:03.644
- Thoughts told me that i wasn't able. not talented
- 00:17:03.711 --> 00:17:05.613
- Wasn't able. not talented enough. i wouldn't know what
- 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:07.014
- Enough. i wouldn't know what to say. nobody will listen to
- 00:17:07.081 --> 00:17:08.850
- You, joel. the enemy's main
- 00:17:08.950 --> 00:17:10.885
- You, joel. the enemy's main battlefield is your mind. he
- 00:17:10.952 --> 00:17:13.488
- Battlefield is your mind. he doesn't want the king in you
- 00:17:13.554 --> 00:17:14.889
- Doesn't want the king in you to come out. he knows you're
- 00:17:14.956 --> 00:17:16.424
- To come out. he knows you're powerful. he knows you're
- 00:17:16.491 --> 00:17:18.059
- Powerful. he knows you're destined to take new ground,
- 00:17:18.126 --> 00:17:20.027
- Destined to take new ground, so he'll do everything he can
- 00:17:20.094 --> 00:17:21.896
- So he'll do everything he can to try to intimidate,
- 00:17:21.963 --> 00:17:23.531
- To try to intimidate, discourage, make you feel
- 00:17:23.598 --> 00:17:25.299
- Discourage, make you feel unworthy. “look at all the
- 00:17:25.366 --> 00:17:26.434
- Unworthy. “look at all the mistakes you've made.” not
- 00:17:26.501 --> 00:17:28.336
- Mistakes you've made.” not able. “the giant's too big,
- 00:17:28.402 --> 00:17:29.570
- Able. “the giant's too big, the sickness too strong. just
- 00:17:29.637 --> 00:17:32.006
- The sickness too strong. just accept where you are.” don't
- 00:17:32.073 --> 00:17:33.774
- Accept where you are.” don't believe those lies. there's a
- 00:17:33.841 --> 00:17:35.009
- Believe those lies. there's a king in you. new levels,
- 00:17:35.076 --> 00:17:37.211
- King in you. new levels, greater talent, greater
- 00:17:37.278 --> 00:17:38.880
- Greater talent, greater influence, greater favor.
- 00:17:38.946 --> 00:17:40.681
- Influence, greater favor. all these thoughts were
- 00:17:40.748 --> 00:17:42.116
- All these thoughts were telling me i couldn't do it,
- 00:17:42.183 --> 00:17:43.751
- Telling me i couldn't do it, that i would fail. i had to
- 00:17:43.818 --> 00:17:45.820
- That i would fail. i had to choose to rule over those
- 00:17:45.887 --> 00:17:47.522
- Choose to rule over those thoughts. i had to be
- 00:17:47.588 --> 00:17:48.656
- Thoughts. i had to be disciplined with what i
- 00:17:48.723 --> 00:17:50.258
- Disciplined with what i allowed to play in my mind.
- 00:17:50.324 --> 00:17:52.093
- Allowed to play in my mind. instead of letting the enemy
- 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:53.394
- Instead of letting the enemy talk to you, you need to talk
- 00:17:53.461 --> 00:17:55.229
- Talk to you, you need to talk to the enemy. “i can do all
- 00:17:55.296 --> 00:17:57.431
- To the enemy. “i can do all things through christ.
- 00:17:57.498 --> 00:17:58.266
- Things through christ. father, i thank you that i am
- 00:17:58.332 --> 00:17:59.167
- Father, i thank you that i am strong in the lord. that
- 00:17:59.233 --> 00:18:00.568
- Strong in the lord. that you've anointed, equipped,
- 00:18:00.635 --> 00:18:01.936
- You've anointed, equipped, and empowered me.” i took
- 00:18:02.003 --> 00:18:04.405
- And empowered me.” i took that step of faith, never
- 00:18:04.472 --> 00:18:06.007
- That step of faith, never dreaming the church would
- 00:18:06.073 --> 00:18:07.108
- Dreaming the church would grow. we were hoping we could
- 00:18:07.175 --> 00:18:08.943
- Grow. we were hoping we could just maintain what my parents
- 00:18:09.010 --> 00:18:10.578
- Just maintain what my parents had built. but look what the
- 00:18:10.645 --> 00:18:11.979
- Had built. but look what the lord has done. he has
- 00:18:12.046 --> 00:18:13.281
- Lord has done. he has exceeded our expectations. i
- 00:18:13.347 --> 00:18:17.018
- Didn't know this was in me. i
- 00:18:17.118 --> 00:18:18.653
- Didn't know this was in me. i was like the israelites at
- 00:18:18.719 --> 00:18:20.021
- Was like the israelites at first. “god my father is
- 00:18:20.087 --> 00:18:21.422
- First. “god my father is gone. you need to send us
- 00:18:21.489 --> 00:18:23.191
- Gone. you need to send us some great leader, a powerful
- 00:18:23.257 --> 00:18:25.259
- Some great leader, a powerful minister. someone that's
- 00:18:25.326 --> 00:18:26.527
- Minister. someone that's experienced, that has a great
- 00:18:26.594 --> 00:18:28.462
- Experienced, that has a great resume.” god said, “no, joel,
- 00:18:28.529 --> 00:18:30.698
- The king is in you.” maybe
- 00:18:30.798 --> 00:18:32.867
- The king is in you.” maybe you're like i was, looking
- 00:18:32.934 --> 00:18:34.802
- You're like i was, looking for someone else, thinking
- 00:18:34.869 --> 00:18:36.704
- For someone else, thinking you're lacking, not talented
- 00:18:36.771 --> 00:18:38.806
- You're lacking, not talented enough, not smart enough, not
- 00:18:38.873 --> 00:18:40.208
- Enough, not smart enough, not experienced enough. god is
- 00:18:40.274 --> 00:18:42.109
- Experienced enough. god is saying, “quit looking to
- 00:18:42.176 --> 00:18:43.377
- Saying, “quit looking to others. the favor is in you.
- 00:18:43.444 --> 00:18:45.913
- Others. the favor is in you. the blessing is in you. the
- 00:18:45.980 --> 00:18:47.481
- The blessing is in you. the strength, the abundance, the
- 00:18:47.548 --> 00:18:48.716
- Strength, the abundance, the power, it's in you.” call out
- 00:18:48.783 --> 00:18:51.152
- Power, it's in you.” call out the king. call out the
- 00:18:51.219 --> 00:18:52.653
- The king. call out the anointed one. call out the
- 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:54.322
- Anointed one. call out the talent. call out the courage.
- 00:18:54.388 --> 00:18:55.990
- Talent. call out the courage. it starts in your thinking.
- 00:18:56.057 --> 00:18:58.492
- It starts in your thinking. quit telling yourself
- 00:18:58.559 --> 00:18:59.360
- Quit telling yourself everything you're not, how
- 00:18:59.427 --> 00:19:00.895
- Everything you're not, how you can't do it, and you're
- 00:19:00.962 --> 00:19:02.029
- You can't do it, and you're not up to par. turn it
- 00:19:02.096 --> 00:19:03.497
- Not up to par. turn it around. “father, thank you
- 00:19:03.564 --> 00:19:04.832
- Around. “father, thank you that your gracious hand is
- 00:19:04.899 --> 00:19:06.400
- That your gracious hand is upon my life. that i'm
- 00:19:06.467 --> 00:19:08.069
- Upon my life. that i'm surrounded by your favor.
- 00:19:08.135 --> 00:19:09.804
- Surrounded by your favor. that you are shining brightly
- 00:19:09.870 --> 00:19:11.339
- That you are shining brightly through me, helping me do
- 00:19:11.405 --> 00:19:13.608
- Through me, helping me do what i can't do on my own.”
- 00:19:13.674 --> 00:19:15.543
- What i can't do on my own.” this is what happened with
- 00:19:15.610 --> 00:19:16.577
- This is what happened with sarah. she had been barren
- 00:19:16.644 --> 00:19:18.212
- Sarah. she had been barren her whole life. god gave her
- 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:20.047
- Her whole life. god gave her and her husband, abraham, a
- 00:19:20.114 --> 00:19:21.616
- And her husband, abraham, a promise that she was going to
- 00:19:21.682 --> 00:19:22.717
- Promise that she was going to have a baby. they were both
- 00:19:22.783 --> 00:19:24.852
- Have a baby. they were both way too old. she had passed
- 00:19:24.919 --> 00:19:26.420
- Way too old. she had passed the childbearing years. in
- 00:19:26.487 --> 00:19:28.155
- The childbearing years. in the natural, it wasn't
- 00:19:28.222 --> 00:19:29.557
- The natural, it wasn't possible. when she first
- 00:19:29.624 --> 00:19:31.492
- Possible. when she first heard the promise, it was so
- 00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:32.927
- Heard the promise, it was so far out that she laughed. it
- 00:19:32.994 --> 00:19:35.129
- Far out that she laughed. it was comical to think that she
- 00:19:35.196 --> 00:19:36.897
- Was comical to think that she could have a child at that
- 00:19:36.964 --> 00:19:37.999
- Could have a child at that age. sometimes god will wait
- 00:19:38.065 --> 00:19:40.568
- Age. sometimes god will wait on purpose to put a dream in
- 00:19:40.635 --> 00:19:42.403
- On purpose to put a dream in your heart, to where there's
- 00:19:42.470 --> 00:19:43.971
- Your heart, to where there's no way logically speaking.
- 00:19:44.038 --> 00:19:45.673
- No way logically speaking. it's a test. are you going to
- 00:19:45.740 --> 00:19:47.642
- It's a test. are you going to believe, get in agreement. or
- 00:19:47.708 --> 00:19:50.444
- Believe, get in agreement. or are you going to talk
- 00:19:50.511 --> 00:19:51.078
- Are you going to talk yourself out of it and think
- 00:19:51.145 --> 00:19:52.446
- Yourself out of it and think it could never happen. year
- 00:19:52.513 --> 00:19:54.282
- It could never happen. year after year went by, no sign
- 00:19:54.348 --> 00:19:56.117
- After year went by, no sign of a baby. i'm sure sarah was
- 00:19:56.183 --> 00:19:58.319
- Of a baby. i'm sure sarah was discouraged. but god said to
- 00:19:58.386 --> 00:20:00.221
- Discouraged. but god said to abraham, “i will give sarah a
- 00:20:00.288 --> 00:20:02.356
- Abraham, “i will give sarah a son. she will be the mother
- 00:20:02.423 --> 00:20:04.592
- Son. she will be the mother of nations. kings will come
- 00:20:04.659 --> 00:20:06.861
- Of nations. kings will come out of her.” god was saying,
- 00:20:06.927 --> 00:20:08.562
- Out of her.” god was saying, “sarah, you can't see it.
- 00:20:08.629 --> 00:20:10.331
- “sarah, you can't see it. you're laughing, talking
- 00:20:10.398 --> 00:20:11.799
- You're laughing, talking yourself out of it, but
- 00:20:11.866 --> 00:20:13.367
- Yourself out of it, but there's a king in you. all
- 00:20:13.434 --> 00:20:15.569
- There's a king in you. all the circumstances say you're
- 00:20:15.636 --> 00:20:16.937
- The circumstances say you're barren, but there's a mother
- 00:20:17.004 --> 00:20:18.572
- Barren, but there's a mother in you.” sarah had to rule
- 00:20:18.639 --> 00:20:21.175
- In you.” sarah had to rule over her thoughts, start
- 00:20:21.242 --> 00:20:23.077
- Over her thoughts, start defeating the doubt. “god, i
- 00:20:23.144 --> 00:20:24.845
- Defeating the doubt. “god, i believe what you said. it
- 00:20:24.912 --> 00:20:26.480
- Believe what you said. it looks impossible, but i know
- 00:20:26.547 --> 00:20:28.015
- Looks impossible, but i know you can do the impossible.
