  • (applause)
  • 00:00:09.799 --> 00:00:10.767
  • God bless you.
  • 00:00:10.767 --> 00:00:12.135
  • It's always a joy to come into
  • 00:00:12.135 --> 00:00:12.936
  • Your homes.
  • 00:00:12.936 --> 00:00:14.370
  • If you're ever in our area
  • 00:00:14.370 --> 00:00:15.538
  • Please stop by and be a part of
  • 00:00:15.538 --> 00:00:17.407
  • One of our services.
  • 00:00:17.407 --> 00:00:18.541
  • I promise you we'll make you
  • 00:00:18.541 --> 00:00:19.809
  • Feel right at home.
  • 00:00:19.809 --> 00:00:21.411
  • But thanks so much for tuning
  • 00:00:21.411 --> 00:00:21.978
  • In.
  • 00:00:21.978 --> 00:00:22.612
  • Thank you again for coming out
  • 00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:23.646
  • Today.
  • 00:00:23.646 --> 00:00:24.981
  • I like to start with something
  • 00:00:24.981 --> 00:00:25.849
  • Funny.
  • 00:00:25.849 --> 00:00:27.050
  • I heard about this mother.
  • 00:00:27.050 --> 00:00:29.052
  • One sunday morning she went into
  • 00:00:29.052 --> 00:00:30.286
  • Her son's room and said, "son,
  • 00:00:30.286 --> 00:00:31.888
  • Wake up.
  • 00:00:31.888 --> 00:00:32.689
  • It's time to go to church."
  • 00:00:32.689 --> 00:00:34.357
  • He said, "no, mom.
  • 00:00:34.357 --> 00:00:35.492
  • I'm not going to church today."
  • 00:00:35.492 --> 00:00:36.960
  • She said, "why not?"
  • 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.495
  • He said, "i'll give you two good
  • 00:00:38.495 --> 00:00:39.796
  • Reasons.
  • 00:00:39.796 --> 00:00:40.930
  • Number one, i don't like the
  • 00:00:40.930 --> 00:00:42.132
  • People and number two, they
  • 00:00:42.132 --> 00:00:43.766
  • Don't like me."
  • 00:00:43.766 --> 00:00:45.568
  • She said, "alright.
  • 00:00:45.568 --> 00:00:46.536
  • I'll give you two better reasons
  • 00:00:46.536 --> 00:00:47.971
  • Why you should go.
  • 00:00:47.971 --> 00:00:49.506
  • Number one, you're 49 years
  • 00:00:49.506 --> 00:00:50.607
  • Old."
  • 00:00:50.607 --> 00:00:51.774
  • "and number two, you're the
  • 00:00:51.774 --> 00:00:53.209
  • Pastor.
  • 00:00:53.209 --> 00:00:54.277
  • (laughter/applause)
  • 00:00:54.277 --> 00:00:56.813
  • Hold up your bible.
  • 00:00:56.813 --> 00:00:57.447
  • Say it like you mean it.
  • 00:00:57.447 --> 00:00:59.015
  • This is my bible.
  • 00:00:59.015 --> 00:00:59.549
  • I am what it says i am.
  • 00:00:59.616 --> 00:01:01.651
  • I have what it says i have.
  • 00:01:01.651 --> 00:01:03.486
  • I can do what it says i can do.
  • 00:01:03.486 --> 00:01:05.889
  • Today i will be taught the word
  • 00:01:05.889 --> 00:01:07.490
  • Of god.
  • 00:01:07.490 --> 00:01:08.291
  • I boldly confess:
  • 00:01:08.291 --> 00:01:10.160
  • My mind is alert.
  • 00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:11.094
  • My heart is receptive.
  • 00:01:11.094 --> 00:01:12.962
  • I will never be the same.
  • 00:01:12.962 --> 00:01:14.063
  • In jesus' name.
  • 00:01:14.063 --> 00:01:16.065
  • God bless you.
  • 00:01:16.065 --> 00:01:18.101
  • I want to talk to you today
  • 00:01:18.101 --> 00:01:19.569
  • About knowing who you are.
  • 00:01:19.569 --> 00:01:22.005
  • It's easy to go through life
  • 00:01:22.005 --> 00:01:23.740
  • Thinking that we're average.
  • 00:01:23.740 --> 00:01:25.775
  • We're ordinary.
  • 00:01:25.775 --> 00:01:27.010
  • "there's nothing special about
  • 00:01:27.010 --> 00:01:27.810
  • Me. i'm just one of the six
  • 00:01:27.810 --> 00:01:30.013
  • Billion people on earth."
  • 00:01:30.013 --> 00:01:32.482
  • No, when god created you he put
  • 00:01:32.482 --> 00:01:34.417
  • A part of himself in you.
  • 00:01:34.417 --> 00:01:37.253
  • You could say you have the dna
  • 00:01:37.253 --> 00:01:38.888
  • Of almighty god.
  • 00:01:38.888 --> 00:01:41.624
  • You are destined to do great
  • 00:01:41.624 --> 00:01:42.892
  • Things, destined to leave your
  • 00:01:42.892 --> 00:01:44.394
  • Mark on this generation.
  • 00:01:44.394 --> 00:01:46.930
  • The truth is there is nothing
  • 00:01:46.930 --> 00:01:48.298
  • Average about you.
  • 00:01:48.298 --> 00:01:50.633
  • But too many times we don't
  • 00:01:50.633 --> 00:01:52.168
  • Realize who we are.
  • 00:01:52.168 --> 00:01:54.103
  • We focus on our weaknesses, what
  • 00:01:54.103 --> 00:01:56.239
  • We don't have, the mistakes
  • 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.041
  • We've made, the family we come
  • 00:01:58.041 --> 00:01:59.175
  • From.
  • 00:01:59.175 --> 00:02:01.044
  • We end up settling for
  • 00:02:01.044 --> 00:02:02.579
  • Mediocrity when we were created
  • 00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:04.647
  • For greatness.
  • 00:02:04.647 --> 00:02:07.217
  • If you're going to break out of
  • 00:02:07.217 --> 00:02:08.484
  • Average, every day you need to
  • 00:02:08.484 --> 00:02:10.019
  • Remind yourself, "i have the dna
  • 00:02:10.019 --> 00:02:12.055
  • Of the most high god.
  • 00:02:12.055 --> 00:02:14.490
  • Greatness is in my genes.
  • 00:02:14.490 --> 00:02:16.726
  • I come from a bloodline of
  • 00:02:16.726 --> 00:02:18.127
  • Champions."
  • 00:02:18.127 --> 00:02:19.929
  • I grew up watching archie
  • 00:02:19.929 --> 00:02:21.331
  • Manning play football.
  • 00:02:21.331 --> 00:02:23.333
  • He was a great quarterback,
  • 00:02:23.333 --> 00:02:24.734
  • Incredibly talented.
  • 00:02:24.734 --> 00:02:26.703
  • Now two of his sons, peyton and
  • 00:02:26.703 --> 00:02:28.838
  • Eli, are both great quarterbacks
  • 00:02:28.838 --> 00:02:31.641
  • As well.
  • 00:02:31.641 --> 00:02:32.875
  • How could that be?
  • 00:02:32.875 --> 00:02:33.810
  • Out of the millions of young men
  • 00:02:33.810 --> 00:02:35.411
  • That play football how can these
  • 00:02:35.411 --> 00:02:37.413
  • Two stand out?
  • 00:02:37.413 --> 00:02:39.315
  • It's not a coincidence.
  • 00:02:39.315 --> 00:02:40.783
  • It's in their blood.
  • 00:02:40.783 --> 00:02:43.086
  • They have their father's dna.
  • 00:02:43.086 --> 00:02:45.121
  • That's in the natural.
  • 00:02:45.121 --> 00:02:47.523
  • Switch over to the spiritual.
  • 00:02:47.523 --> 00:02:49.759
  • Your heavenly father spoke
  • 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.527
  • Worlds into existence.
  • 00:02:51.527 --> 00:02:53.963
  • He flung stars into space.
  • 00:02:53.963 --> 00:02:55.999
  • He painted every sunrise.
  • 00:02:55.999 --> 00:02:57.967
  • He designed every flower.
  • 00:02:57.967 --> 00:03:00.370
  • He made man out of dust and
  • 00:03:00.370 --> 00:03:02.205
  • Breathed life into him.
  • 00:03:02.205 --> 00:03:04.207
  • Now here's the key.
  • 00:03:04.207 --> 00:03:05.441
  • He is not just the creator of
  • 00:03:05.441 --> 00:03:07.010
  • The universe.
  • 00:03:07.010 --> 00:03:08.678
  • He is not just the all-powerful
  • 00:03:08.678 --> 00:03:09.479
  • God.
  • 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:11.247
  • He is your heavenly father.
  • 00:03:11.247 --> 00:03:13.216
  • You have his dna.
  • 00:03:13.216 --> 00:03:15.485
  • Imagine what you can do.
  • 00:03:15.485 --> 00:03:18.288
  • When you realize who you are you
  • 00:03:18.288 --> 00:03:20.456
  • Won't go around intimidated,
  • 00:03:20.456 --> 00:03:22.825
  • Insecure, thinking,
  • 00:03:22.825 --> 00:03:24.260
  • "i'm lacking. i'm not that
  • 00:03:24.260 --> 00:03:26.095
  • Talented. i come from the wrong
  • 00:03:26.095 --> 00:03:27.930
  • Family."
  • 00:03:27.930 --> 00:03:29.399
  • No, you come from the right
  • 00:03:29.399 --> 00:03:30.500
  • Family. your father created it
  • 00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:32.101
  • All.
  • 00:03:32.101 --> 00:03:33.836
  • When you know who you are it
  • 00:03:33.836 --> 00:03:35.238
  • Changes your thinking.
  • 00:03:35.238 --> 00:03:38.007
  • When you know who you are,
  • 00:03:38.007 --> 00:03:39.676
  • You'll start thinking like a
  • 00:03:39.676 --> 00:03:41.077
  • Winner, talking like a winner,
  • 00:03:41.077 --> 00:03:43.046
  • Carrying yourself like you are a
  • 00:03:43.046 --> 00:03:44.380
  • Winner.
  • 00:03:44.380 --> 00:03:46.249
  • There used to be a billboard
  • 00:03:46.249 --> 00:03:47.583
  • That asked the question, "who's
  • 00:03:47.583 --> 00:03:48.851
  • The father?"
  • 00:03:48.851 --> 00:03:50.620
  • It was advertising dna testing.
  • 00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:53.489
  • They can take a child's dna and
  • 00:03:53.489 --> 00:03:55.925
  • Test another person's dna and
  • 00:03:55.925 --> 00:03:57.760
  • See if it matches.
  • 00:03:57.760 --> 00:03:59.796
  • If it does, it proves those two
  • 00:03:59.796 --> 00:04:01.964
  • People are scientifically
  • 00:04:01.964 --> 00:04:03.766
  • Related.
  • 00:04:03.766 --> 00:04:06.002
  • Out of the billions of people on
  • 00:04:06.002 --> 00:04:07.370
  • Earth the chances of your dna
  • 00:04:07.370 --> 00:04:10.406
  • Matching someone that's not your
  • 00:04:10.406 --> 00:04:12.375
  • Family is so small that it's
  • 00:04:12.375 --> 00:04:14.944
  • Inconceivable.
  • 00:04:14.944 --> 00:04:17.447
  • When you gave your life to
  • 00:04:17.447 --> 00:04:18.781
  • Christ the scripture talks about
  • 00:04:18.781 --> 00:04:20.316
  • How you became a new creation.
  • 00:04:20.316 --> 00:04:23.753
  • You were born into a new family.
  • 00:04:23.753 --> 00:04:26.689
  • You entered into a new
  • 00:04:26.689 --> 00:04:27.957
  • Bloodline.
  • 00:04:27.957 --> 00:04:29.659
  • Now imagine that somehow we
  • 00:04:29.659 --> 00:04:32.095
  • Could do spiritual dna testing.
  • 00:04:32.095 --> 00:04:35.698
  • They took a sample dna from your
  • 00:04:35.698 --> 00:04:36.999
  • Heavenly father then a sample
  • 00:04:36.999 --> 00:04:38.968
  • Dna from you.
  • 00:04:38.968 --> 00:04:41.104
  • They ran all the tests.
  • 00:04:41.104 --> 00:04:42.605
  • The good news is it would come
  • 00:04:42.605 --> 00:04:44.207
  • Back a perfect match.
  • 00:04:44.207 --> 00:04:46.609
  • Proven beyond all doubt, you are
  • 00:04:46.609 --> 00:04:48.244
  • His child.
  • 00:04:48.244 --> 00:04:49.445
  • You have his dna.
  • 00:04:49.445 --> 00:04:51.447
  • You come from a royal blood
  • 00:04:51.447 --> 00:04:53.015
  • Line.
  • 00:04:53.015 --> 00:04:55.118
  • Now don't you dare go around
  • 00:04:55.118 --> 00:04:56.519
  • Thinking that you're average.
  • 00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.688
  • "i could never accomplish my
  • 00:04:58.688 --> 00:04:59.889
  • Dreams."
  • 00:04:59.889 --> 00:05:01.090
  • "i'll never get out of debt."
  • 00:05:01.090 --> 00:05:02.492
  • Are you kidding?
  • 00:05:02.492 --> 00:05:04.293
  • Do you know who your father is?
  • 00:05:04.293 --> 00:05:06.129
  • You have his dna.
  • 00:05:06.129 --> 00:05:08.297
  • He created worlds.
  • 00:05:08.297 --> 00:05:10.366
  • There's nothing too much for
  • 00:05:10.366 --> 00:05:11.167
  • You.
  • 00:05:11.167 --> 00:05:12.735
  • You can overcome that sickness.
  • 00:05:12.735 --> 00:05:14.637
  • You can run that company.
  • 00:05:14.637 --> 00:05:16.539
  • You can build and support that
  • 00:05:16.539 --> 00:05:18.007
  • Orphanage.
  • 00:05:18.007 --> 00:05:19.342
  • You can take your family to a
  • 00:05:19.342 --> 00:05:20.343
  • New level.
  • 00:05:20.343 --> 00:05:22.145
  • Quit believing those lies,
  • 00:05:22.145 --> 00:05:23.479
  • "you've reached your limits.
  • 00:05:23.479 --> 00:05:24.881
  • You've gone as far as you can
  • 00:05:24.881 --> 00:05:25.882
  • Go."
  • 00:05:25.882 --> 00:05:26.883
  • No, start talking to yourself
  • 00:05:26.883 --> 00:05:28.451
  • Like a winner.
  • 00:05:28.451 --> 00:05:29.685
  • It's in your blood.
  • 00:05:29.685 --> 00:05:31.554
  • You're expected to succeed.
  • 00:05:31.554 --> 00:05:33.890
  • You're expected to get well.
  • 00:05:33.890 --> 00:05:35.958
  • You're expected to live
  • 00:05:35.958 --> 00:05:36.692
  • Debt-free.
  • 00:05:36.692 --> 00:05:37.727
  • Why?
  • 00:05:37.727 --> 00:05:38.494
  • Because of who your father is.
  • 00:05:38.494 --> 00:05:41.130
  • See, in one sense, it's no big
  • 00:05:41.130 --> 00:05:42.865
  • Deal for me to be up here today.
  • 00:05:42.865 --> 00:05:45.001
  • My father was a minister for
  • 00:05:45.001 --> 00:05:46.436
  • Over 50 years.
  • 00:05:46.436 --> 00:05:48.771
  • This is all i had seen growing
  • 00:05:48.771 --> 00:05:49.772
  • Up.
  • 00:05:49.772 --> 00:05:50.606
  • It's in my genes.
  • 00:05:50.606 --> 00:05:51.841
  • It's no big deal to see archie
  • 00:05:51.841 --> 00:05:53.476
  • Manning's sons play football.
  • 00:05:53.476 --> 00:05:56.145
  • Archie was a great quarterback.
  • 00:05:56.145 --> 00:05:58.414
  • In the same way, it's no big
  • 00:05:58.414 --> 00:06:00.416
  • Deal for you to accomplish your
  • 00:06:00.416 --> 00:06:02.018
  • Dreams.
  • 00:06:02.018 --> 00:06:03.619
  • It's no big deal for you to live
  • 00:06:03.619 --> 00:06:04.520
  • Healthy and whole.
  • 00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:05.922
  • It's no big deal for you to lead
  • 00:06:05.922 --> 00:06:07.123
  • The company in sales.
  • 00:06:07.123 --> 00:06:08.891
  • Why?
  • 00:06:08.891 --> 00:06:09.959
  • Like father, like son.
  • 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.128
  • It's in your spiritual dna.
  • 00:06:12.128 --> 00:06:13.663
  • (applause)
  • 00:06:13.663 --> 00:06:15.498
  • I saw a documentary on these
  • 00:06:15.498 --> 00:06:16.732
  • Championship racehorses, the
  • 00:06:16.732 --> 00:06:19.001
  • Kind you see running the
  • 00:06:19.001 --> 00:06:20.570
  • Kentucky derby.
  • 00:06:20.570 --> 00:06:22.205
  • It's not a coincidence that
  • 00:06:22.205 --> 00:06:23.506
  • Those horses end up the fastest
  • 00:06:23.506 --> 00:06:25.408
  • Horses in the world.
  • 00:06:25.408 --> 00:06:27.677
  • They've been carefully studied
  • 00:06:27.677 --> 00:06:29.378
  • And carefully bred for
  • 00:06:29.378 --> 00:06:30.847
  • Generations.
  • 00:06:30.847 --> 00:06:32.682
  • It can cost hundreds of
  • 00:06:32.682 --> 00:06:34.283
  • Thousands of dollars to breed a
  • 00:06:34.283 --> 00:06:36.385
  • Racehorse with a champion
  • 00:06:36.385 --> 00:06:38.087
  • Stallion.
  • 00:06:38.087 --> 00:06:39.755
  • It's very expensive.
  • 00:06:39.755 --> 00:06:41.657
  • Before breeding, the owners will
  • 00:06:41.657 --> 00:06:43.459
  • Go back 50 or 60 years and study
  • 00:06:43.459 --> 00:06:46.395
  • The bloodline of a particular
  • 00:06:46.395 --> 00:06:48.564
  • Stallion.
  • 00:06:48.564 --> 00:06:50.700
  • They'll research his father, his
  • 00:06:50.700 --> 00:06:52.335
  • Grandfather and study how long
  • 00:06:52.335 --> 00:06:54.971
  • Their stride was, how tall their
  • 00:06:54.971 --> 00:06:57.406
  • Legs are, their takeoff speed,
  • 00:06:57.406 --> 00:06:59.408
  • Their endurance.
  • 00:06:59.408 --> 00:07:01.544
  • With all this information
  • 00:07:01.544 --> 00:07:03.212
  • They'll choose what they believe
  • 00:07:03.212 --> 00:07:05.248
  • To be the perfect match.
  • 00:07:05.248 --> 00:07:07.717
  • They understand winners don't
  • 00:07:07.717 --> 00:07:09.652
  • Just randomly happen.
  • 00:07:09.652 --> 00:07:11.521
  • It's in their dna.
  • 00:07:11.521 --> 00:07:13.723
  • That's what sets these horses
  • 00:07:13.723 --> 00:07:15.291
  • Apart.
  • 00:07:15.291 --> 00:07:16.626
  • They have generation after
  • 00:07:16.626 --> 00:07:17.793
  • Generation of champions on the
  • 00:07:17.793 --> 00:07:19.328
  • Inside.
  • 00:07:19.328 --> 00:07:21.330
  • Now, when the little colt is
  • 00:07:21.330 --> 00:07:23.099
  • Born, his legs may be wobbly, he
  • 00:07:23.099 --> 00:07:25.568
  • Can barely stand up.
  • 00:07:25.568 --> 00:07:27.770
  • He doesn't look different than
  • 00:07:27.770 --> 00:07:29.305
  • Any other colt that's born.
  • 00:07:29.305 --> 00:07:31.807
  • The owners could think,
  • 00:07:31.807 --> 00:07:33.276
  • "oh, man. we have wasted our
  • 00:07:33.276 --> 00:07:35.044
  • Money. this colt is not a
  • 00:07:35.044 --> 00:07:36.412
  • Thoroughbred. look at him."
  • 00:07:36.412 --> 00:07:38.214
  • No, they're not concerned with
  • 00:07:38.214 --> 00:07:39.615
  • His present weaknesses.
  • 00:07:39.615 --> 00:07:42.618
  • They're not worried about what
  • 00:07:42.618 --> 00:07:43.886
  • Color his is, how pretty he is,
  • 00:07:43.886 --> 00:07:45.621
  • Or even how muscular he is.
  • 00:07:45.621 --> 00:07:47.490
  • They are totally confident
  • 00:07:47.490 --> 00:07:49.425
  • Knowing that on the inside of
  • 00:07:49.425 --> 00:07:51.761
  • That little colt he has the
  • 00:07:51.761 --> 00:07:54.530
  • Blood of a champion.
  • 00:07:54.530 --> 00:07:57.433
  • That's how it is with you and
  • 00:07:57.433 --> 00:07:58.768
  • Me.
  • 00:07:58.768 --> 00:08:00.303
  • You didn't come from ordinary
  • 00:08:00.303 --> 00:08:01.304
  • Stock.
  • 00:08:01.304 --> 00:08:02.772
  • You came from the best of the
  • 00:08:02.772 --> 00:08:03.639
  • Best.
  • 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.041
  • It doesn't matter what we look
  • 00:08:05.041 --> 00:08:06.208
  • Like on the outside, what color
  • 00:08:06.208 --> 00:08:08.244
  • We are, how tall or short, how
  • 00:08:08.244 --> 00:08:10.212
  • Attractive or unattractive.
  • 00:08:10.212 --> 00:08:12.915
  • It doesn't matter how many
  • 00:08:12.915 --> 00:08:14.250
  • Weaknesses we have.
  • 00:08:14.250 --> 00:08:16.252
  • You may struggle with an
  • 00:08:16.252 --> 00:08:17.486
  • Addiction.
  • 00:08:17.486 --> 00:08:19.121
  • You may have made some mistakes.
  • 00:08:19.121 --> 00:08:20.423
  • What supersedes all of that is
  • 00:08:20.423 --> 00:08:22.124
  • On the inside you have the dna
  • 00:08:22.124 --> 00:08:24.694
  • Of a champion.
  • 00:08:24.694 --> 00:08:27.363
  • You come from a long list of
  • 00:08:27.363 --> 00:08:28.798
  • Winners.
  • 00:08:28.798 --> 00:08:30.566
  • You look back and study your
  • 00:08:30.566 --> 00:08:32.034
  • Spiritual bloodline you'll see
  • 00:08:32.034 --> 00:08:34.170
  • Your elder brother defeated the
  • 00:08:34.170 --> 00:08:36.172
  • Enemy.
  • 00:08:36.172 --> 00:08:37.840
  • There's victory in your
  • 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:38.941
  • Bloodline.
  • 00:08:38.941 --> 00:08:40.409
  • You'll see your ancestor
  • 00:08:40.409 --> 00:08:42.044
  • Moses parted the red sea.
  • 00:08:42.044 --> 00:08:44.313
  • There's great faith in your
  • 00:08:44.313 --> 00:08:45.448
  • Bloodline.
  • 00:08:45.448 --> 00:08:47.450
  • David, a shepherd boy, defeated
  • 00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:48.618
  • A giant.
  • 00:08:48.618 --> 00:08:50.319
  • There's favor in your bloodline.
  • 00:08:50.319 --> 00:08:52.922
  • Samson pushed down the walls of
  • 00:08:52.922 --> 00:08:54.323
  • A huge building.
  • 00:08:54.323 --> 00:08:56.125
  • There's supernatural strength,
  • 00:08:56.125 --> 00:08:57.493
  • Power, in your bloodline.
  • 00:08:57.493 --> 00:08:59.395
  • Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of
  • 00:08:59.395 --> 00:09:01.330
  • Jerusalem when all the odds were
  • 00:09:01.330 --> 00:09:03.099
  • Against him.
  • 00:09:03.099 --> 00:09:05.201
  • There's increase, promotion,
  • 00:09:05.201 --> 00:09:06.569
  • Abundance in your bloodline.
  • 00:09:06.569 --> 00:09:08.971
  • A young lady named esther
  • 00:09:08.971 --> 00:09:10.573
  • Stepped up and saved her people
  • 00:09:10.573 --> 00:09:12.608
  • From a certain death.
  • 00:09:12.608 --> 00:09:14.410
  • There is courage in your
  • 00:09:14.410 --> 00:09:15.244
  • Bloodline.
  • 00:09:15.244 --> 00:09:17.446
  • Now don't go around thinking,
  • 00:09:17.446 --> 00:09:18.280
  • "i could never break this
  • 00:09:18.280 --> 00:09:19.615
  • Addiction."
  • 00:09:19.615 --> 00:09:20.883
  • "i could never afford college."
  • 00:09:20.883 --> 00:09:23.085
  • "i'll never see my family
  • 00:09:23.085 --> 00:09:23.686
  • Restored."
  • 00:09:23.686 --> 00:09:25.354
  • No, you come from a bloodline of
  • 00:09:25.354 --> 00:09:27.089
  • Champions.
  • 00:09:27.089 --> 00:09:28.658
  • It's in your dna.
  • 00:09:28.658 --> 00:09:30.359
  • You were born to win, born to
  • 00:09:30.359 --> 00:09:32.361
  • Overcome, born to live in
  • 00:09:32.361 --> 00:09:34.997
  • Victory. (applause)
  • 00:09:34.997 --> 00:09:36.899
  • Listen, it doesn't matter what
  • 00:09:36.899 --> 00:09:38.768
  • Your present circumstances look
  • 00:09:38.768 --> 00:09:40.836
  • Like.
  • 00:09:40.836 --> 00:09:42.571
  • That addiction didn't come to
  • 00:09:42.571 --> 00:09:43.773
  • Stay. freedom is in your dna.
  • 00:09:43.773 --> 00:09:47.376
  • That sickness is not permanent.
  • 00:09:47.376 --> 00:09:49.412
  • Health and wholeness is in your
  • 00:09:49.412 --> 00:09:50.913
  • Dna.
  • 00:09:50.913 --> 00:09:52.448
  • That family problem, strife,
  • 00:09:52.448 --> 00:09:54.316
  • Division; it's not going to last
  • 00:09:54.316 --> 00:09:55.618
  • Forever.
  • 00:09:55.618 --> 00:09:56.852
  • Restoration is in your dna.
  • 00:09:56.852 --> 00:09:59.522
  • Lack, struggle, barely getting
  • 00:09:59.522 --> 00:10:01.123
  • By; that is not your destiny.
  • 00:10:01.123 --> 00:10:03.626
  • Abundance, increase,
  • 00:10:03.626 --> 00:10:05.928
  • Opportunity, good breaks; that's
  • 00:10:05.928 --> 00:10:07.596
  • What's in your dna.
  • 00:10:07.596 --> 00:10:09.865
  • Now when thoughts tell you that
  • 00:10:09.865 --> 00:10:11.567
  • It's never going to happen just
  • 00:10:11.567 --> 00:10:13.569
  • Go back and check your spiritual
  • 00:10:13.569 --> 00:10:15.838
  • Birth certificate.
  • 00:10:15.838 --> 00:10:18.174
  • Remind yourself who you are.
  • 00:10:18.174 --> 00:10:20.242
  • That thought says, "you'll never
  • 00:10:20.242 --> 00:10:21.811
  • Accomplish your dreams.
  • 00:10:21.811 --> 00:10:23.579
  • You'll never get well."
  • 00:10:23.579 --> 00:10:25.614
  • Just say, "no, thanks.
  • 00:10:25.614 --> 00:10:26.782
  • You've got the wrong person.
  • 00:10:26.782 --> 00:10:28.617
  • I've already checked my birth

  • I know who i am.
  • 00:10:31.253 --> 00:10:32.521
  • Now let me verify what's in my

  • Dna.
  • 00:10:33.756 --> 00:10:36.358
  • That's found in god's word.

  • Am i supposed to live average,

  • Lonely, struggling, always
  • 00:10:40.129 --> 00:10:42.898
  • Getting the short end of the
  • 00:10:42.898 --> 00:10:44.033
  • Stick?
  • 00:10:44.033 --> 00:10:44.967
  • No, it says right there in
  • 00:10:44.967 --> 00:10:46.102
  • Psalms, 'god's favor surrounds
  • 00:10:46.102 --> 00:10:48.204
  • Me like a shield.' it says, 'no

  • Prosper.
  • 00:10:51.941 --> 00:10:53.576
  • It says, 'the number of my days
  • 00:10:53.576 --> 00:10:55.411
  • He will fulfill.' it says, 'as
  • 00:10:55.411 --> 00:10:57.680
  • For me and my house we will

  • Serve the lord.' it says, 'i

  • Dna.
  • 00:11:08.824 --> 00:11:09.558
  • When thoughts tell you otherwise
  • 00:11:09.558 --> 00:11:10.893
  • Don't get discouraged.
  • 00:11:10.893 --> 00:11:12.394
  • Just keep checking your

  • Spiritual birth certificate.
  • 00:11:14.330 --> 00:11:16.732
  • Keep reminding yourself who you

  • 00:11:34.250 --> 00:11:36.051
  • Telling jackson who he was.
  • 00:11:36.051 --> 00:11:38.454
  • That was her way of speaking
  • 00:11:38.454 --> 00:11:39.722
  • Faith into him, letting him know
  • 00:11:39.722 --> 00:11:41.223
  • He was going to do great things.
  • 00:11:41.223 --> 00:11:44.126
  • She would say, "alright,
  • 00:11:44.126 --> 00:11:45.161
  • Jackson.
  • 00:11:45.161 --> 00:11:46.095
  • Let me remind you who you are.
  • 00:11:46.095 --> 00:11:47.129
  • You're my superman.
  • 00:11:47.129 --> 00:11:48.697
  • You're my buzz lightyear.
  • 00:11:48.697 --> 00:11:50.599
  • You're my power ranger.
  • 00:11:50.599 --> 00:11:52.234
  • You're my rescue hero.
  • 00:11:52.234 --> 00:11:54.103
  • You're my lightening mcqueen,"
  • 00:11:54.103 --> 00:11:55.371
  • On and on.
  • 00:11:55.371 --> 00:11:56.138
  • Little jackson would lie there,
  • 00:11:56.138 --> 00:11:57.773
  • A big smile on his face, taking
  • 00:11:57.773 --> 00:11:59.041
  • It all in.
  • 00:11:59.041 --> 00:12:01.010
  • One night they got home late and
  • 00:12:01.010 --> 00:12:03.012
  • She wasn't able to go through
  • 00:12:03.012 --> 00:12:04.480
  • That same routine.
  • 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.015
  • She put him in bed in a hurry.
  • 00:12:06.015 --> 00:12:07.583
  • A few minutes she heard this
  • 00:12:07.583 --> 00:12:09.852
  • Little voice hollering out of
  • 00:12:09.852 --> 00:12:11.253
  • His room, "momma! momma!"
  • 00:12:11.253 --> 00:12:12.721
  • She rushed in and said,
  • 00:12:12.721 --> 00:12:14.089
  • "jackson, what's wrong?"
  • 00:12:14.089 --> 00:12:15.658
  • He said, "momma, you forgot to
  • 00:12:15.658 --> 00:12:17.493
  • Tell me who i am." (laughter)
  • 00:12:17.493 --> 00:12:21.530
  • A lot of people in life have
  • 00:12:21.530 --> 00:12:22.932
  • Never been told who they are.
  • 00:12:22.932 --> 00:12:25.367
  • They've had negative voices
  • 00:12:25.367 --> 00:12:27.570
  • Playing over and over.
  • 00:12:27.570 --> 00:12:28.971
  • "you're not talented.
  • 00:12:28.971 --> 00:12:30.105
  • You're not going to ever get
  • 00:12:30.105 --> 00:12:31.841
  • Married.
  • 00:12:31.841 --> 00:12:32.675
  • You'll never get out of debt.
  • 00:12:32.675 --> 00:12:33.609
  • You've come from the wrong
  • 00:12:33.609 --> 00:12:34.210
  • Family."
  • 00:12:34.210 --> 00:12:36.145
  • As long as those voices are
  • 00:12:36.145 --> 00:12:37.880
  • Playing it will keep you from
  • 00:12:37.880 --> 00:12:39.715
  • Your destiny.
  • 00:12:39.715 --> 00:12:41.450
  • Maybe nobody told you who you
  • 00:12:41.450 --> 00:12:42.818
  • Are.
  • 00:12:42.818 --> 00:12:43.853
  • Let me help you out.
  • 00:12:43.853 --> 00:12:45.020
  • You're a child of the most high
  • 00:12:45.020 --> 00:12:45.888
  • God.
  • 00:12:45.888 --> 00:12:47.623
  • You are strong.
  • 00:12:47.623 --> 00:12:48.958
  • You are talented.
  • 00:12:48.958 --> 00:12:50.793
  • You are beautiful.
  • 00:12:50.793 --> 00:12:53.462
  • You are wise.
  • 00:12:53.462 --> 00:12:54.930
  • You are courageous.
  • 00:12:54.930 --> 00:12:56.899
  • You have seeds of greatness.
  • 00:12:56.899 --> 00:12:59.034
  • You can do all things through
  • 00:12:59.034 --> 00:13:00.102
  • Christ.
  • 00:13:00.102 --> 00:13:01.237
  • You didn't come from ordinary
  • 00:13:01.237 --> 00:13:02.204
  • Stock.
  • 00:13:02.204 --> 00:13:03.439
  • You're a thoroughbred.
  • 00:13:03.439 --> 00:13:05.040
  • You have winning in your dna.
  • 00:13:05.040 --> 00:13:07.576
  • You are destined to do great
  • 00:13:07.576 --> 00:13:08.744
  • Things.
  • 00:13:08.744 --> 00:13:10.012
  • That's who almighty god says you
  • 00:13:10.012 --> 00:13:11.447
  • Are.
  • 00:13:11.447 --> 00:13:13.582
  • In the old testament, people
  • 00:13:13.582 --> 00:13:15.117
  • Understood the power of the
  • 00:13:15.117 --> 00:13:16.585
  • Bloodline more than we do today.
  • 00:13:16.585 --> 00:13:19.889
  • God started the first covenant
  • 00:13:19.889 --> 00:13:21.457
  • With a jewish man named abraham.
  • 00:13:21.457 --> 00:13:24.326
  • Back in those days if you
  • 00:13:24.326 --> 00:13:26.128
  • Weren't jewish you didn't have a
  • 00:13:26.128 --> 00:13:27.596
  • Right to god's blessings and
  • 00:13:27.596 --> 00:13:29.131
  • Favor.
  • 00:13:29.131 --> 00:13:30.733
  • It was limited to one bloodline
  • 00:13:30.733 --> 00:13:32.368
  • - the jewish people.
  • 00:13:32.368 --> 00:13:34.203
  • In luke 13, jesus saw a woman
  • 00:13:34.203 --> 00:13:36.438
  • That had been bent over with a
  • 00:13:36.438 --> 00:13:38.874
  • Sickness for eighteen years.
  • 00:13:38.874 --> 00:13:40.943
  • He made an interesting
  • 00:13:40.943 --> 00:13:41.810
  • Statement.
  • 00:13:41.810 --> 00:13:43.012
  • He said, "should not this woman
  • 00:13:43.012 --> 00:13:45.247
  • Be loosed from this sickness
  • 00:13:45.247 --> 00:13:48.083
  • Seeing that she is a daughter of
  • 00:13:48.083 --> 00:13:49.418
  • Abraham?"
  • 00:13:49.418 --> 00:13:51.654
  • He was saying, "she comes from
  • 00:13:51.654 --> 00:13:53.122
  • The right family.
  • 00:13:53.122 --> 00:13:54.823
  • Healing is in her dna.
  • 00:13:54.823 --> 00:13:57.293
  • She has a right to be well."
  • 00:13:57.293 --> 00:13:59.128
  • Jesus went over and made her
  • 00:13:59.128 --> 00:13:59.929
  • Whole.
  • 00:13:59.929 --> 00:14:01.397
  • Another place just the opposite
  • 00:14:01.397 --> 00:14:03.165
  • Happened.
  • 00:14:03.165 --> 00:14:05.234
  • A gentile woman came up and
  • 00:14:05.234 --> 00:14:07.369
  • Begged jesus to heal her
  • 00:14:07.369 --> 00:14:08.604
  • Daughter.
  • 00:14:08.604 --> 00:14:10.005
  • Jesus said in effect, "i can't
  • 00:14:10.005 --> 00:14:11.006
  • Do it. you come from the wrong
  • 00:14:11.006 --> 00:14:12.608
  • Family."
  • 00:14:12.608 --> 00:14:14.410
  • It didn't seem fair but that's
  • 00:14:14.410 --> 00:14:16.278
  • How powerful the bloodline was.
  • 00:14:16.278 --> 00:14:19.315
  • Now here's the beauty.
  • 00:14:19.315 --> 00:14:20.849
  • When jesus died and rose again
  • 00:14:20.849 --> 00:14:24.019
  • He made a way for all people to
  • 00:14:24.019 --> 00:14:25.754
  • Come to him, both jews and
  • 00:14:25.754 --> 00:14:27.489
  • Gentiles.
  • 00:14:27.489 --> 00:14:29.758
  • Galatians says, "if you're in
  • 00:14:29.758 --> 00:14:31.593
  • Christ you're the seed of
  • 00:14:31.593 --> 00:14:34.063
  • Abraham and heirs according to
  • 00:14:34.063 --> 00:14:35.764
  • The promise."
  • 00:14:35.764 --> 00:14:37.333
  • Now don't go through life
  • 00:14:37.333 --> 00:14:39.168
  • Believing the lies that you've
  • 00:14:39.168 --> 00:14:41.036
  • Come from the wrong family.
  • 00:14:41.036 --> 00:14:42.705
  • "your mother was depressed.
  • 00:14:42.705 --> 00:14:44.573
  • You'll always be depressed."
  • 00:14:44.573 --> 00:14:46.075
  • "your dad was an alcoholic.
  • 00:14:46.075 --> 00:14:47.776
  • You'll be an alcoholic."
  • 00:14:47.776 --> 00:14:49.411
  • No, you have entered into a new
  • 00:14:49.411 --> 00:14:51.046
  • Bloodline.
  • 00:14:51.046 --> 00:14:52.514
  • If god was standing before you
  • 00:14:52.514 --> 00:14:54.249
  • Today he would say the same
  • 00:14:54.249 --> 00:14:55.784
  • Thing he said to that first
  • 00:14:55.784 --> 00:14:57.252
  • Lady.
  • 00:14:57.252 --> 00:14:58.554
  • "should not this man be free
  • 00:14:58.554 --> 00:15:01.023
  • From this addiction seeing that
  • 00:15:01.023 --> 00:15:03.559
  • He is a son of abraham?"
  • 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:05.761
  • "should not this woman be
  • 00:15:05.761 --> 00:15:06.962
  • Healthy and whole seeing that
  • 00:15:06.962 --> 00:15:08.564
  • She is a daughter of abraham?"
  • 00:15:08.564 --> 00:15:11.900
  • Friends, you have a right to be
  • 00:15:11.900 --> 00:15:13.035
  • Blessed, to be free, to be
  • 00:15:13.035 --> 00:15:15.771
  • Healthy, to be happy, to be
  • 00:15:15.771 --> 00:15:17.639
  • Whole.
  • 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:18.674
  • It's in your dna.
  • 00:15:18.674 --> 00:15:20.642
  • Now your natural bloodline may
  • 00:15:20.642 --> 00:15:22.578
  • Have some negative things in it
  • 00:15:22.578 --> 00:15:25.047
  • But the spiritual bloodline will
  • 00:15:25.047 --> 00:15:27.016
  • Always overpower your natural
  • 00:15:27.016 --> 00:15:29.651
  • Bloodline.
  • 00:15:29.651 --> 00:15:31.520
  • The spiritual is greater than
  • 00:15:31.520 --> 00:15:33.555
  • The natural.
  • 00:15:33.555 --> 00:15:35.691
  • "well, joel. i've got a lot of
  • 00:15:35.691 --> 00:15:36.658
  • Dysfunction in my family. i've
  • 00:15:36.658 --> 00:15:38.327
  • Got a lot coming against me."
  • 00:15:38.327 --> 00:15:39.862
  • No, your spiritual bloodline
  • 00:15:39.862 --> 00:15:41.330
  • Says you can overcome every
  • 00:15:41.330 --> 00:15:42.731
  • Obstacle.
  • 00:15:42.731 --> 00:15:44.500
  • You can break that addiction.
  • 00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:46.101
  • You can beat that sickness.
  • 00:15:46.101 --> 00:15:48.337
  • You can set a new level for your
  • 00:15:48.337 --> 00:15:49.938
  • Family.
  • 00:15:49.938 --> 00:15:50.973
  • Why?
  • 00:15:50.973 --> 00:15:52.007
  • You come from the right
  • 00:15:52.007 --> 00:15:53.042
  • Bloodline.
  • 00:15:53.042 --> 00:15:54.643
  • You have the dna of a champion.
  • 00:15:54.643 --> 00:15:57.379
  • Judges, chapter 6, the
  • 00:15:57.379 --> 00:15:59.248
  • Midianites had overtaken the
  • 00:15:59.248 --> 00:16:01.216
  • People of israel.
  • 00:16:01.216 --> 00:16:02.818
  • They were making their lives
  • 00:16:02.818 --> 00:16:03.719
  • Miserable.
  • 00:16:03.719 --> 00:16:05.487
  • When the israelites crops would
  • 00:16:05.487 --> 00:16:06.722
  • Come up the midianites would go
  • 00:16:06.722 --> 00:16:08.323
  • Take them.
  • 00:16:08.323 --> 00:16:09.725
  • They were bigger and stronger.
  • 00:16:09.725 --> 00:16:11.560
  • It looked like they would
  • 00:16:11.560 --> 00:16:12.661
  • Eventually drive the israelites
  • 00:16:12.661 --> 00:16:13.929
  • Away.
  • 00:16:13.929 --> 00:16:15.397
  • There was a man named gideon
  • 00:16:15.397 --> 00:16:16.932
  • That was hiding in the fields
  • 00:16:16.932 --> 00:16:19.001
  • Afraid of the midianites.
  • 00:16:19.001 --> 00:16:21.970
  • An angel appeared unto him and
  • 00:16:21.970 --> 00:16:23.772
  • Said, "mighty hero, the lord is
  • 00:16:23.772 --> 00:16:26.208
  • With you."
  • 00:16:26.208 --> 00:16:28.210
  • I can imagine gideon looked
  • 00:16:28.210 --> 00:16:30.012
  • Around and thought, "who's he
  • 00:16:30.012 --> 00:16:31.280
  • Talking about? i'm not a mighty
  • 00:16:31.280 --> 00:16:33.282
  • Hero."
  • 00:16:33.282 --> 00:16:34.683
  • Gideon wasn't strong and
  • 00:16:34.683 --> 00:16:35.784
  • Courageous. he was just the
  • 00:16:35.784 --> 00:16:37.886
  • Opposite; afraid and
  • 00:16:37.886 --> 00:16:39.154
  • Intimidated, yet god called him
  • 00:16:39.154 --> 00:16:40.889
  • A mighty hero.
  • 00:16:40.889 --> 00:16:44.760
  • Like gideon, you may feel weak
  • 00:16:44.760 --> 00:16:47.329
  • But god calls you strong.
  • 00:16:47.329 --> 00:16:49.531
  • You may feel intimidated.
  • 00:16:49.531 --> 00:16:51.733
  • God calls you courageous.
  • 00:16:51.733 --> 00:16:54.169
  • You may feel inadequate.
  • 00:16:54.169 --> 00:16:55.971
  • God calls you well able.
  • 00:16:55.971 --> 00:16:57.806
  • You may think you're average but
  • 00:16:57.806 --> 00:16:59.875
  • God calls you a mighty hero.
  • 00:16:59.875 --> 00:17:03.412
  • Now when you get up in the
  • 00:17:03.412 --> 00:17:04.580
  • Morning and the negative
  • 00:17:04.580 --> 00:17:05.848
  • Thoughts come reminding you of
  • 00:17:05.848 --> 00:17:08.250
  • What you're not, telling you of
  • 00:17:08.250 --> 00:17:09.651
  • All your flaws, your weaknesses,
  • 00:17:09.651 --> 00:17:11.954
  • Put your shoulders back.
  • 00:17:11.954 --> 00:17:13.889
  • Hold your head up high.
  • 00:17:13.889 --> 00:17:16.091
  • Dare to look in the mirror and
  • 00:17:16.091 --> 00:17:17.993
  • Say, "good morning you mighty
  • 00:17:17.993 --> 00:17:18.994
  • Hero."
  • 00:17:18.994 --> 00:17:21.096
  • Let these thoughts play all
  • 00:17:21.096 --> 00:17:22.464
  • Through the day.
  • 00:17:22.464 --> 00:17:23.465
  • "i am strong.
  • 00:17:23.465 --> 00:17:24.533
  • I'm courageous.
  • 00:17:24.533 --> 00:17:26.301
  • I have the dna of a champion.
  • 00:17:26.301 --> 00:17:28.837
  • I am who god says i am.
  • 00:17:28.837 --> 00:17:30.772
  • I can do what god says i can
  • 00:17:30.772 --> 00:17:32.007
  • Do."
  • 00:17:32.007 --> 00:17:33.609
  • You've got to remind yourself
  • 00:17:33.609 --> 00:17:35.410
  • Who you are, not weak, defeated.
  • 00:17:35.410 --> 00:17:38.380
  • You are a mighty hero.
  • 00:17:38.380 --> 00:17:41.617
  • The angel went on to say,
  • 00:17:41.617 --> 00:17:42.851
  • "gideon, you are to deliver
  • 00:17:42.851 --> 00:17:44.419
  • God's people from the
  • 00:17:44.419 --> 00:17:45.854
  • Midianites."
  • 00:17:45.854 --> 00:17:47.623
  • Gideon said, "how can i do that?
  • 00:17:47.623 --> 00:17:50.159
  • I come from the poorest family.
  • 00:17:50.159 --> 00:17:52.561
  • I am the least one in my
  • 00:17:52.561 --> 00:17:54.530
  • Father's house."
  • 00:17:54.530 --> 00:17:56.198
  • What was the problem?
  • 00:17:56.198 --> 00:17:57.599
  • Gideon didn't know who he was.
  • 00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:00.102
  • God had just called him a mighty
  • 00:18:00.102 --> 00:18:01.370
  • Hero.
  • 00:18:01.370 --> 00:18:03.138
  • A couple of chapters later
  • 00:18:03.138 --> 00:18:04.373
  • Gideon was talking with his
  • 00:18:04.373 --> 00:18:05.607
  • Enemies.
  • 00:18:05.607 --> 00:18:07.209
  • He asked them, "what did the men
  • 00:18:07.209 --> 00:18:08.810
  • Look like that you saw?"
  • 00:18:08.810 --> 00:18:11.380
  • They said, "gideon, they looked
  • 00:18:11.380 --> 00:18:13.115
  • Like you, like a king's son."
  • 00:18:13.115 --> 00:18:16.652
  • Here, gideon felt like he was
  • 00:18:16.652 --> 00:18:18.520
  • The least, inadequate, not able
  • 00:18:18.520 --> 00:18:20.622
  • To.
  • 00:18:20.622 --> 00:18:22.090
  • But even his enemies said, "you
  • 00:18:22.090 --> 00:18:24.293
  • Look like a king's son."
  • 00:18:24.293 --> 00:18:26.929
  • If you allow the wrong thoughts
  • 00:18:26.929 --> 00:18:28.931
  • To play in your mind you can
  • 00:18:28.931 --> 00:18:30.699
  • Have the talent, the
  • 00:18:30.699 --> 00:18:31.833
  • Opportunity, the strength, the
  • 00:18:31.833 --> 00:18:34.169
  • Looks, but like gideon you'll
  • 00:18:34.169 --> 00:18:35.971
  • Make excuses and talk yourself
  • 00:18:35.971 --> 00:18:37.873
  • Out of it.
  • 00:18:37.873 --> 00:18:39.841
  • I love the fact that god not
  • 00:18:39.841 --> 00:18:41.443
  • Only calls you a mighty hero but
  • 00:18:41.443 --> 00:18:43.946
  • Even the enemy sees you as a
  • 00:18:43.946 --> 00:18:46.481
  • King's son, a king's daughter.
  • 00:18:46.481 --> 00:18:50.118
  • He knows who you are.
  • 00:18:50.118 --> 00:18:51.720
  • Now make sure you know who you
  • 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.422
  • Are.
  • 00:18:53.422 --> 00:18:55.357
  • Carry yourself like a king, like
  • 00:18:55.357 --> 00:18:57.659
  • A queen, like a mighty hero.
  • 00:18:57.659 --> 00:19:01.463
  • You come from the right family.
  • 00:19:01.463 --> 00:19:03.599
  • It's interesting, when god
  • 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:05.167
  • Called gideon a mighty hero, up
  • 00:19:05.167 --> 00:19:07.369
  • To that point gideon had not
  • 00:19:07.369 --> 00:19:09.371
  • Done anything significant.
  • 00:19:09.371 --> 00:19:11.540
  • He had not parted a red sea like
  • 00:19:11.540 --> 00:19:13.408
  • Moses.
  • 00:19:13.408 --> 00:19:15.244
  • He had not defeated a giant like
  • 00:19:15.244 --> 00:19:16.278
  • David.
  • 00:19:16.278 --> 00:19:18.113
  • He had not brought somebody back
  • 00:19:18.113 --> 00:19:19.615
  • To life like the prophet elijah.
  • 00:19:19.615 --> 00:19:22.184
  • I can understand god calling him
  • 00:19:22.184 --> 00:19:23.719
  • That if he had done something
  • 00:19:23.719 --> 00:19:24.953
  • Amazing.
  • 00:19:24.953 --> 00:19:26.521
  • But it seemed like he was just
  • 00:19:26.521 --> 00:19:27.522
  • Ordinary, insignificant, nothing
  • 00:19:27.522 --> 00:19:29.091
  • Special about him.
  • 00:19:29.091 --> 00:19:31.093
  • But god saw something in gideon
  • 00:19:31.093 --> 00:19:33.495
  • That other people did not see.
  • 00:19:33.495 --> 00:19:35.564
  • God saw his potential.
  • 00:19:35.564 --> 00:19:37.866
  • God saw what he could become.
  • 00:19:37.866 --> 00:19:40.636
  • You may feel like you're
  • 00:19:40.636 --> 00:19:41.703
  • Average.
  • 00:19:41.703 --> 00:19:42.771
  • You may think you're ordinary
  • 00:19:42.771 --> 00:19:44.172
  • But god sees the mighty hero in
  • 00:19:44.172 --> 00:19:45.941
  • You.
  • 00:19:45.941 --> 00:19:48.477
  • God sees the dna of a champion.
  • 00:19:48.477 --> 00:19:50.846
  • He sees the king's son, the
  • 00:19:50.846 --> 00:19:52.514
  • King's daughter.
  • 00:19:52.514 --> 00:19:54.816
  • Now do yourself a favor.
  • 00:19:54.816 --> 00:19:56.451
  • Turn off the negative recording
  • 00:19:56.451 --> 00:19:57.953
  • That's reminding you of what
  • 00:19:57.953 --> 00:19:59.621
  • You're not and get in agreement
  • 00:19:59.621 --> 00:20:01.290
  • With god.
  • 00:20:01.290 --> 00:20:03.258
  • Start seeing yourself as that
  • 00:20:03.258 --> 00:20:04.559
  • Mighty hero.
  • 00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:06.728
  • When god told moses to go speak
  • 00:20:06.728 --> 00:20:08.730
  • To pharaoh and tell him to let
  • 00:20:08.730 --> 00:20:10.299
  • The people go the first thing
  • 00:20:10.299 --> 00:20:12.000
  • Moses said was, "who am i?"
  • 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.570
  • He was saying, "god, i'm
  • 00:20:15.570 --> 00:20:17.005
  • Ordinary. pharaoh is the leader
  • 00:20:17.005 --> 00:20:19.641
  • Of a nation. he is not going to
  • 00:20:19.641 --> 00:20:21.410
  • Listen to me."
  • 00:20:21.410 --> 00:20:23.011
  • Moses forgot who he was.
  • 00:20:23.011 --> 00:20:25.414
  • He didn't see himself as a
  • 00:20:25.414 --> 00:20:27.049
  • King's son but as inadequate.
  • 00:20:27.049 --> 00:20:30.619
  • He focused on his weaknesses,
  • 00:20:30.619 --> 00:20:32.287
  • His limitations.
  • 00:20:32.287 --> 00:20:34.256
  • He started making excuses.
  • 00:20:34.256 --> 00:20:35.691
  • He said, "god, i can't go talk
  • 00:20:35.691 --> 00:20:37.092
  • To pharaoh. i stutter. i've got
  • 00:20:37.092 --> 00:20:39.728
  • A problem with my speech."
  • 00:20:39.728 --> 00:20:41.930
  • God said, "moses, who made your
  • 00:20:41.930 --> 00:20:43.932
  • Tongue? who makes the deaf to
  • 00:20:43.932 --> 00:20:46.335
  • Hear? who makes the blind to
  • 00:20:46.335 --> 00:20:48.503
  • See?"
  • 00:20:48.503 --> 00:20:49.604
  • God was saying, "moses, i
  • 00:20:49.604 --> 00:20:50.772
  • Breathed my life into you.
  • 00:20:50.772 --> 00:20:53.208
  • I put my dna on the inside.
  • 00:20:53.208 --> 00:20:56.545
  • You may feel weak, inadequate,
  • 00:20:56.545 --> 00:20:58.246
  • Insecure, but moses, i don't
  • 00:20:58.246 --> 00:21:00.115
  • Want to hear your excuses.
  • 00:21:00.115 --> 00:21:02.417
  • Quit telling me what you're not.
  • 00:21:02.417 --> 00:21:04.453
  • I have the final say and i say
  • 00:21:04.453 --> 00:21:06.121
  • You're a king's son.
  • 00:21:06.121 --> 00:21:08.657
  • I say you're a mighty hero.
  • 00:21:08.657 --> 00:21:11.093
  • I say you can do all things
  • 00:21:11.093 --> 00:21:12.594
  • Through christ."
  • 00:21:12.594 --> 00:21:13.929
  • That's what god is saying to
  • 00:21:13.929 --> 00:21:15.263
  • Each one of us today.
  • 00:21:15.263 --> 00:21:16.565
  • (applause)
  • 00:21:16.565 --> 00:21:17.799
  • I know a young lady that was
  • 00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:19.368
  • Raised in a single-parent home
  • 00:21:19.368 --> 00:21:20.969
  • In government housing.
  • 00:21:20.969 --> 00:21:22.738
  • Her mother wasn't around much
  • 00:21:22.738 --> 00:21:24.172
  • Growing up.
  • 00:21:24.172 --> 00:21:25.207
  • They were very poor.
  • 00:21:25.207 --> 00:21:26.208
  • At sixteen years old she got
  • 00:21:26.208 --> 00:21:27.809
  • Pregnant and had to drop out of
  • 00:21:27.809 --> 00:21:29.277
  • School.
  • 00:21:29.277 --> 00:21:31.079
  • At one time she had a big dream
  • 00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:32.781
  • For her life.
  • 00:21:32.781 --> 00:21:34.015
  • She knew she was going to be
  • 00:21:34.015 --> 00:21:35.050
  • Something great but now it
  • 00:21:35.050 --> 00:21:36.451
  • Looked like this cycle of lack
  • 00:21:36.451 --> 00:21:39.287
  • And defeat would be passed to
  • 00:21:39.287 --> 00:21:40.689
  • The next generation.
  • 00:21:40.689 --> 00:21:42.724
  • She moved into a tiny apartment
  • 00:21:42.724 --> 00:21:44.493
  • To try to raise her son but she
  • 00:21:44.493 --> 00:21:45.927
  • Couldn't make ends meet.
  • 00:21:45.927 --> 00:21:48.163
  • She had to go on welfare.
  • 00:21:48.163 --> 00:21:49.798
  • She found a job at a school
  • 00:21:49.798 --> 00:21:52.367
  • Cafeteria punching the meal
  • 00:21:52.367 --> 00:21:53.568
  • Tickets.
  • 00:21:53.568 --> 00:21:55.103
  • She was making minimum wage,
  • 00:21:55.103 --> 00:21:56.772
  • Barely making it through, but
  • 00:21:56.772 --> 00:21:58.540
  • Something down in here said,
  • 00:21:58.540 --> 00:22:00.575
  • "you were made for more.
  • 00:22:00.575 --> 00:22:02.210
  • You're not a chicken.
  • 00:22:02.210 --> 00:22:03.412
  • You're an eagle."
  • 00:22:03.412 --> 00:22:04.446
  • She decided to go back to
  • 00:22:04.446 --> 00:22:05.714
  • School.
  • 00:22:05.714 --> 00:22:07.015
  • In two years she got her ged.
  • 00:22:07.015 --> 00:22:09.251
  • That was good but she wasn't
  • 00:22:09.251 --> 00:22:10.819
  • Satisfied.
  • 00:22:10.819 --> 00:22:12.654
  • She enrolled in college.
  • 00:22:12.654 --> 00:22:14.689
  • She would work during the day
  • 00:22:14.689 --> 00:22:16.158
  • And go to class at night.
  • 00:22:16.158 --> 00:22:18.059
  • In four years she graduated from
  • 00:22:18.059 --> 00:22:19.728
  • College with honors.
  • 00:22:19.728 --> 00:22:22.063
  • She still wasn't satisfied.
  • 00:22:22.063 --> 00:22:23.765
  • She went back and got her
  • 00:22:23.765 --> 00:22:25.333
  • Master's degree.
  • 00:22:25.333 --> 00:22:27.102
  • Today, she is the assistant
  • 00:22:27.102 --> 00:22:28.637
  • Principal at the same school
  • 00:22:28.637 --> 00:22:30.806
  • Where she used to punch meal
  • 00:22:30.806 --> 00:22:32.007
  • Tickets.
  • 00:22:32.007 --> 00:22:33.208
  • She said, "i used to be on
  • 00:22:33.208 --> 00:22:34.409
  • Welfare but now i'm doing fair
  • 00:22:34.409 --> 00:22:35.977
  • And well."
  • 00:22:35.977 --> 00:22:37.546
  • (applause)
  • 00:22:37.546 --> 00:22:39.047
  • That's what happens when you
  • 00:22:39.047 --> 00:22:40.048
  • Know who you are.
  • 00:22:40.048 --> 00:22:42.217
  • Now, you may work around a bunch
  • 00:22:42.217 --> 00:22:43.885
  • Of chickens.
  • 00:22:43.885 --> 00:22:45.487
  • You may live by some chickens.
  • 00:22:45.487 --> 00:22:48.256
  • You may have relatives that
  • 00:22:48.256 --> 00:22:49.224
  • Still think they're chickens.
  • 00:22:49.224 --> 00:22:50.692
  • (laughter)
  • 00:22:50.692 --> 00:22:51.793
  • You've got to do like she did.
  • 00:22:51.793 --> 00:22:52.894
  • Draw that line in the sand and
  • 00:22:52.894 --> 00:22:54.329
  • Say, "i may be in a limited
  • 00:22:54.329 --> 00:22:56.364
  • Environment but i am not
  • 00:22:56.364 --> 00:22:58.433
  • Settling here.
  • 00:22:58.433 --> 00:23:00.001
  • I know who i am.
  • 00:23:00.001 --> 00:23:01.570
  • I'm an eagle.
  • 00:23:01.570 --> 00:23:02.771
  • I'm a king's son.
  • 00:23:02.771 --> 00:23:04.172
  • I'm a mighty hero.
  • 00:23:04.172 --> 00:23:05.774
  • I'm a thoroughbred.
  • 00:23:05.774 --> 00:23:07.209
  • I've got winning in my dna.
  • 00:23:07.209 --> 00:23:08.477
  • (applause)
  • 00:23:08.477 --> 00:23:10.245
  • Friends, you come from a
  • 00:23:10.245 --> 00:23:12.113
  • Bloodline of champions.
  • 00:23:12.113 --> 00:23:14.816
  • Get up every morning and check
  • 00:23:14.816 --> 00:23:16.251
  • Your spiritual birth
  • 00:23:16.251 --> 00:23:17.252
  • Certificate.
  • 00:23:17.252 --> 00:23:18.153
  • Remind yourself who you are.
  • 00:23:18.153 --> 00:23:20.722
  • If you do this, i believe and
