  • (applause)
  • 00:00:10.789 --> 00:00:11.757
  • God bless you.
  • 00:00:11.757 --> 00:00:13.125
  • It's always a joy to come into
  • 00:00:13.125 --> 00:00:13.926
  • Your homes.
  • 00:00:13.926 --> 00:00:15.360
  • If you're ever in our area
  • 00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:16.528
  • Please stop by and be a part of
  • 00:00:16.528 --> 00:00:18.397
  • One of our services.
  • 00:00:18.397 --> 00:00:19.531
  • I promise you we'll make you
  • 00:00:19.531 --> 00:00:20.799
  • Feel right at home.
  • 00:00:20.799 --> 00:00:22.401
  • But thanks so much for tuning
  • 00:00:22.401 --> 00:00:22.968
  • In.
  • 00:00:22.968 --> 00:00:23.602
  • Thank you again for coming out
  • 00:00:23.669 --> 00:00:24.636
  • Today.
  • 00:00:24.636 --> 00:00:25.971
  • I like to start with something
  • 00:00:25.971 --> 00:00:26.839
  • Funny.
  • 00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:28.040
  • I heard about this mother.
  • 00:00:28.040 --> 00:00:30.042
  • One sunday morning she went into
  • 00:00:30.042 --> 00:00:31.276
  • Her son's room and said, "son,
  • 00:00:31.276 --> 00:00:32.878
  • Wake up.
  • 00:00:32.878 --> 00:00:33.679
  • It's time to go to church."
  • 00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:35.347
  • He said, "no, mom.
  • 00:00:35.347 --> 00:00:36.482
  • I'm not going to church today."
  • 00:00:36.482 --> 00:00:37.950
  • She said, "why not?"
  • 00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:39.485
  • He said, "i'll give you two good
  • 00:00:39.485 --> 00:00:40.786
  • Reasons.
  • 00:00:40.786 --> 00:00:41.920
  • Number one, i don't like the
  • 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:43.122
  • People and number two, they
  • 00:00:43.122 --> 00:00:44.756
  • Don't like me."
  • 00:00:44.756 --> 00:00:46.558
  • She said, "alright.
  • 00:00:46.558 --> 00:00:47.526
  • I'll give you two better reasons
  • 00:00:47.526 --> 00:00:48.961
  • Why you should go.
  • 00:00:48.961 --> 00:00:50.496
  • Number one, you're 49 years
  • 00:00:50.496 --> 00:00:51.597
  • Old."
  • 00:00:51.597 --> 00:00:52.764
  • "and number two, you're the
  • 00:00:52.764 --> 00:00:54.199
  • Pastor.
  • 00:00:54.199 --> 00:00:55.267
  • (laughter/applause)
  • 00:00:55.267 --> 00:00:57.803
  • Hold up your bible.
  • 00:00:57.803 --> 00:00:58.437
  • Say it like you mean it.
  • 00:00:58.437 --> 00:01:00.005
  • This is my bible.
  • 00:01:00.005 --> 00:01:00.539
  • I am what it says i am.
  • 00:01:00.606 --> 00:01:02.641
  • I have what it says i have.
  • 00:01:02.641 --> 00:01:04.476
  • I can do what it says i can do.
  • 00:01:04.476 --> 00:01:06.879
  • Today i will be taught the word
  • 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:08.480
  • Of god.
  • 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:09.281
  • I boldly confess:
  • 00:01:09.281 --> 00:01:11.150
  • My mind is alert.
  • 00:01:11.150 --> 00:01:12.084
  • My heart is receptive.
  • 00:01:12.084 --> 00:01:13.952
  • I will never be the same.
  • 00:01:13.952 --> 00:01:15.053
  • In jesus' name.
  • 00:01:15.053 --> 00:01:17.055
  • God bless you.
  • 00:01:17.055 --> 00:01:19.091
  • I want to talk to you today
  • 00:01:19.091 --> 00:01:20.559
  • About knowing who you are.
  • 00:01:20.559 --> 00:01:22.995
  • It's easy to go through life
  • 00:01:22.995 --> 00:01:24.730
  • Thinking that we're average.
  • 00:01:24.730 --> 00:01:26.765
  • We're ordinary.
  • 00:01:26.765 --> 00:01:28.000
  • "there's nothing special about
  • 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:28.800
  • Me. i'm just one of the six
  • 00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:31.003
  • Billion people on earth."
  • 00:01:31.003 --> 00:01:33.472
  • No, when god created you he put
  • 00:01:33.472 --> 00:01:35.407
  • A part of himself in you.
  • 00:01:35.407 --> 00:01:38.243
  • You could say you have the dna
  • 00:01:38.243 --> 00:01:39.878
  • Of almighty god.
  • 00:01:39.878 --> 00:01:42.614
  • You are destined to do great
  • 00:01:42.614 --> 00:01:43.882
  • Things, destined to leave your
  • 00:01:43.882 --> 00:01:45.384
  • Mark on this generation.
  • 00:01:45.384 --> 00:01:47.920
  • The truth is there is nothing
  • 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.288
  • Average about you.
  • 00:01:49.288 --> 00:01:51.623
  • But too many times we don't
  • 00:01:51.623 --> 00:01:53.158
  • Realize who we are.
  • 00:01:53.158 --> 00:01:55.093
  • We focus on our weaknesses, what
  • 00:01:55.093 --> 00:01:57.229
  • We don't have, the mistakes
  • 00:01:57.229 --> 00:01:59.031
  • We've made, the family we come
  • 00:01:59.031 --> 00:02:00.165
  • From.
  • 00:02:00.165 --> 00:02:02.034
  • We end up settling for
  • 00:02:02.034 --> 00:02:03.569
  • Mediocrity when we were created
  • 00:02:03.569 --> 00:02:05.637
  • For greatness.
  • 00:02:05.637 --> 00:02:08.207
  • If you're going to break out of
  • 00:02:08.207 --> 00:02:09.474
  • Average, every day you need to
  • 00:02:09.474 --> 00:02:11.009
  • Remind yourself, "i have the dna
  • 00:02:11.009 --> 00:02:13.045
  • Of the most high god.
  • 00:02:13.045 --> 00:02:15.480
  • Greatness is in my genes.
  • 00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:17.716
  • I come from a bloodline of
  • 00:02:17.716 --> 00:02:19.117
  • Champions."
  • 00:02:19.117 --> 00:02:20.919
  • I grew up watching archie
  • 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.321
  • Manning play football.
  • 00:02:22.321 --> 00:02:24.323
  • He was a great quarterback,
  • 00:02:24.323 --> 00:02:25.724
  • Incredibly talented.
  • 00:02:25.724 --> 00:02:27.693
  • Now two of his sons, peyton and
  • 00:02:27.693 --> 00:02:29.828
  • Eli, are both great quarterbacks
  • 00:02:29.828 --> 00:02:32.631
  • As well.
  • 00:02:32.631 --> 00:02:33.865
  • How could that be?
  • 00:02:33.865 --> 00:02:34.800
  • Out of the millions of young men
  • 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:36.401
  • That play football how can these
  • 00:02:36.401 --> 00:02:38.403
  • Two stand out?
  • 00:02:38.403 --> 00:02:40.305
  • It's not a coincidence.
  • 00:02:40.305 --> 00:02:41.773
  • It's in their blood.
  • 00:02:41.773 --> 00:02:44.076
  • They have their father's dna.
  • 00:02:44.076 --> 00:02:46.111
  • That's in the natural.
  • 00:02:46.111 --> 00:02:48.513
  • Switch over to the spiritual.
  • 00:02:48.513 --> 00:02:50.749
  • Your heavenly father spoke
  • 00:02:50.749 --> 00:02:52.517
  • Worlds into existence.
  • 00:02:52.517 --> 00:02:54.953
  • He flung stars into space.
  • 00:02:54.953 --> 00:02:56.989
  • He painted every sunrise.
  • 00:02:56.989 --> 00:02:58.957
  • He designed every flower.
  • 00:02:58.957 --> 00:03:01.360
  • He made man out of dust and
  • 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.195
  • Breathed life into him.
  • 00:03:03.195 --> 00:03:05.197
  • Now here's the key.
  • 00:03:05.197 --> 00:03:06.431
  • He is not just the creator of
  • 00:03:06.431 --> 00:03:08.000
  • The universe.
  • 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.668
  • He is not just the all-powerful
  • 00:03:09.668 --> 00:03:10.469
  • God.
  • 00:03:10.469 --> 00:03:12.237
  • He is your heavenly father.
  • 00:03:12.237 --> 00:03:14.206
  • You have his dna.
  • 00:03:14.206 --> 00:03:16.475
  • Imagine what you can do.
  • 00:03:16.475 --> 00:03:19.278
  • When you realize who you are you
  • 00:03:19.278 --> 00:03:21.446
  • Won't go around intimidated,
  • 00:03:21.446 --> 00:03:23.815
  • Insecure, thinking,
  • 00:03:23.815 --> 00:03:25.250
  • "i'm lacking. i'm not that
  • 00:03:25.250 --> 00:03:27.085
  • Talented. i come from the wrong
  • 00:03:27.085 --> 00:03:28.920
  • Family."
  • 00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:30.389
  • No, you come from the right
  • 00:03:30.389 --> 00:03:31.490
  • Family. your father created it
  • 00:03:31.490 --> 00:03:33.091
  • All.
  • 00:03:33.091 --> 00:03:34.826
  • When you know who you are it
  • 00:03:34.826 --> 00:03:36.228
  • Changes your thinking.
  • 00:03:36.228 --> 00:03:38.997
  • When you know who you are,
  • 00:03:38.997 --> 00:03:40.666
  • You'll start thinking like a
  • 00:03:40.666 --> 00:03:42.067
  • Winner, talking like a winner,
  • 00:03:42.067 --> 00:03:44.036
  • Carrying yourself like you are a
  • 00:03:44.036 --> 00:03:45.370
  • Winner.
  • 00:03:45.370 --> 00:03:47.239
  • There used to be a billboard
  • 00:03:47.239 --> 00:03:48.573
  • That asked the question, "who's
  • 00:03:48.573 --> 00:03:49.841
  • The father?"
  • 00:03:49.841 --> 00:03:51.610
  • It was advertising dna testing.
  • 00:03:51.610 --> 00:03:54.479
  • They can take a child's dna and
  • 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.915
  • Test another person's dna and
  • 00:03:56.915 --> 00:03:58.750
  • See if it matches.
  • 00:03:58.750 --> 00:04:00.786
  • If it does, it proves those two
  • 00:04:00.786 --> 00:04:02.954
  • People are scientifically
  • 00:04:02.954 --> 00:04:04.756
  • Related.
  • 00:04:04.756 --> 00:04:06.992
  • Out of the billions of people on
  • 00:04:06.992 --> 00:04:08.360
  • Earth the chances of your dna
  • 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.396
  • Matching someone that's not your
  • 00:04:11.396 --> 00:04:13.365
  • Family is so small that it's
  • 00:04:13.365 --> 00:04:15.934
  • Inconceivable.
  • 00:04:15.934 --> 00:04:18.437
  • When you gave your life to
  • 00:04:18.437 --> 00:04:19.771
  • Christ the scripture talks about
  • 00:04:19.771 --> 00:04:21.306
  • How you became a new creation.
  • 00:04:21.306 --> 00:04:24.743
  • You were born into a new family.
  • 00:04:24.743 --> 00:04:27.679
  • You entered into a new
  • 00:04:27.679 --> 00:04:28.947
  • Bloodline.
  • 00:04:28.947 --> 00:04:30.649
  • Now imagine that somehow we
  • 00:04:30.649 --> 00:04:33.085
  • Could do spiritual dna testing.
  • 00:04:33.085 --> 00:04:36.688
  • They took a sample dna from your
  • 00:04:36.688 --> 00:04:37.989
  • Heavenly father then a sample
  • 00:04:37.989 --> 00:04:39.958
  • Dna from you.
  • 00:04:39.958 --> 00:04:42.094
  • They ran all the tests.
  • 00:04:42.094 --> 00:04:43.595
  • The good news is it would come
  • 00:04:43.595 --> 00:04:45.197
  • Back a perfect match.
  • 00:04:45.197 --> 00:04:47.599
  • Proven beyond all doubt, you are
  • 00:04:47.599 --> 00:04:49.234
  • His child.
  • 00:04:49.234 --> 00:04:50.435
  • You have his dna.
  • 00:04:50.435 --> 00:04:52.437
  • You come from a royal blood
  • 00:04:52.437 --> 00:04:54.005
  • Line.
  • 00:04:54.005 --> 00:04:56.108
  • Now don't you dare go around
  • 00:04:56.108 --> 00:04:57.509
  • Thinking that you're average.
  • 00:04:57.509 --> 00:04:59.678
  • "i could never accomplish my
  • 00:04:59.678 --> 00:05:00.879
  • Dreams."
  • 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:02.080
  • "i'll never get out of debt."
  • 00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:03.482
  • Are you kidding?
  • 00:05:03.482 --> 00:05:05.283
  • Do you know who your father is?
  • 00:05:05.283 --> 00:05:07.119
  • You have his dna.
  • 00:05:07.119 --> 00:05:09.287
  • He created worlds.
  • 00:05:09.287 --> 00:05:11.356
  • There's nothing too much for
  • 00:05:11.356 --> 00:05:12.157
  • You.
  • 00:05:12.157 --> 00:05:13.725
  • You can overcome that sickness.
  • 00:05:13.725 --> 00:05:15.627
  • You can run that company.
  • 00:05:15.627 --> 00:05:17.529
  • You can build and support that
  • 00:05:17.529 --> 00:05:18.997
  • Orphanage.
  • 00:05:18.997 --> 00:05:20.332
  • You can take your family to a
  • 00:05:20.332 --> 00:05:21.333
  • New level.
  • 00:05:21.333 --> 00:05:23.135
  • Quit believing those lies,
  • 00:05:23.135 --> 00:05:24.469
  • "you've reached your limits.
  • 00:05:24.469 --> 00:05:25.871
  • You've gone as far as you can
  • 00:05:25.871 --> 00:05:26.872
  • Go."
  • 00:05:26.872 --> 00:05:27.873
  • No, start talking to yourself
  • 00:05:27.873 --> 00:05:29.441
  • Like a winner.
  • 00:05:29.441 --> 00:05:30.675
  • It's in your blood.
  • 00:05:30.675 --> 00:05:32.544
  • You're expected to succeed.
  • 00:05:32.544 --> 00:05:34.880
  • You're expected to get well.
  • 00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:36.948
  • You're expected to live
  • 00:05:36.948 --> 00:05:37.682
  • Debt-free.
  • 00:05:37.682 --> 00:05:38.717
  • Why?
  • 00:05:38.717 --> 00:05:39.484
  • Because of who your father is.
  • 00:05:39.484 --> 00:05:42.120
  • See, in one sense, it's no big
  • 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:43.855
  • Deal for me to be up here today.
  • 00:05:43.855 --> 00:05:45.991
  • My father was a minister for
  • 00:05:45.991 --> 00:05:47.426
  • Over 50 years.
  • 00:05:47.426 --> 00:05:49.761
  • This is all i had seen growing
  • 00:05:49.761 --> 00:05:50.762
  • Up.
  • 00:05:50.762 --> 00:05:51.596
  • It's in my genes.
  • 00:05:51.596 --> 00:05:52.831
  • It's no big deal to see archie
  • 00:05:52.831 --> 00:05:54.466
  • Manning's sons play football.
  • 00:05:54.466 --> 00:05:57.135
  • Archie was a great quarterback.
  • 00:05:57.135 --> 00:05:59.404
  • In the same way, it's no big
  • 00:05:59.404 --> 00:06:01.406
  • Deal for you to accomplish your
  • 00:06:01.406 --> 00:06:03.008
  • Dreams.
  • 00:06:03.008 --> 00:06:04.609
  • It's no big deal for you to live
  • 00:06:04.609 --> 00:06:05.510
  • Healthy and whole.
  • 00:06:05.510 --> 00:06:06.912
  • It's no big deal for you to lead
  • 00:06:06.912 --> 00:06:08.113
  • The company in sales.
  • 00:06:08.113 --> 00:06:09.881
  • Why?
  • 00:06:09.881 --> 00:06:10.949
  • Like father, like son.
  • 00:06:10.949 --> 00:06:13.118
  • It's in your spiritual dna.
  • 00:06:13.118 --> 00:06:14.653
  • (applause)
  • 00:06:14.653 --> 00:06:16.488
  • I saw a documentary on these
  • 00:06:16.488 --> 00:06:17.722
  • Championship racehorses, the
  • 00:06:17.722 --> 00:06:19.991
  • Kind you see running the
  • 00:06:19.991 --> 00:06:21.560
  • Kentucky derby.
  • 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:23.195
  • It's not a coincidence that
  • 00:06:23.195 --> 00:06:24.496
  • Those horses end up the fastest
  • 00:06:24.496 --> 00:06:26.398
  • Horses in the world.
  • 00:06:26.398 --> 00:06:28.667
  • They've been carefully studied
  • 00:06:28.667 --> 00:06:30.368
  • And carefully bred for
  • 00:06:30.368 --> 00:06:31.837
  • Generations.
  • 00:06:31.837 --> 00:06:33.672
  • It can cost hundreds of
  • 00:06:33.672 --> 00:06:35.273
  • Thousands of dollars to breed a
  • 00:06:35.273 --> 00:06:37.375
  • Racehorse with a champion
  • 00:06:37.375 --> 00:06:39.077
  • Stallion.
  • 00:06:39.077 --> 00:06:40.745
  • It's very expensive.
  • 00:06:40.745 --> 00:06:42.647
  • Before breeding, the owners will
  • 00:06:42.647 --> 00:06:44.449
  • Go back 50 or 60 years and study
  • 00:06:44.449 --> 00:06:47.385
  • The bloodline of a particular
  • 00:06:47.385 --> 00:06:49.554
  • Stallion.
  • 00:06:49.554 --> 00:06:51.690
  • They'll research his father, his
  • 00:06:51.690 --> 00:06:53.325
  • Grandfather and study how long
  • 00:06:53.325 --> 00:06:55.961
  • Their stride was, how tall their
  • 00:06:55.961 --> 00:06:58.396
  • Legs are, their takeoff speed,
  • 00:06:58.396 --> 00:07:00.398
  • Their endurance.
  • 00:07:00.398 --> 00:07:02.534
  • With all this information
  • 00:07:02.534 --> 00:07:04.202
  • They'll choose what they believe
  • 00:07:04.202 --> 00:07:06.238
  • To be the perfect match.
  • 00:07:06.238 --> 00:07:08.707
  • They understand winners don't
  • 00:07:08.707 --> 00:07:10.642
  • Just randomly happen.
  • 00:07:10.642 --> 00:07:12.511
  • It's in their dna.
  • 00:07:12.511 --> 00:07:14.713
  • That's what sets these horses
  • 00:07:14.713 --> 00:07:16.281
  • Apart.
  • 00:07:16.281 --> 00:07:17.616
  • They have generation after
  • 00:07:17.616 --> 00:07:18.783
  • Generation of champions on the
  • 00:07:18.783 --> 00:07:20.318
  • Inside.
  • 00:07:20.318 --> 00:07:22.320
  • Now, when the little colt is
  • 00:07:22.320 --> 00:07:24.089
  • Born, his legs may be wobbly, he
  • 00:07:24.089 --> 00:07:26.558
  • Can barely stand up.
  • 00:07:26.558 --> 00:07:28.760
  • He doesn't look different than
  • 00:07:28.760 --> 00:07:30.295
  • Any other colt that's born.
  • 00:07:30.295 --> 00:07:32.797
  • The owners could think,
  • 00:07:32.797 --> 00:07:34.266
  • "oh, man. we have wasted our
  • 00:07:34.266 --> 00:07:36.034
  • Money. this colt is not a
  • 00:07:36.034 --> 00:07:37.402
  • Thoroughbred. look at him."
  • 00:07:37.402 --> 00:07:39.204
  • No, they're not concerned with
  • 00:07:39.204 --> 00:07:40.605
  • His present weaknesses.
  • 00:07:40.605 --> 00:07:43.608
  • They're not worried about what
  • 00:07:43.608 --> 00:07:44.876
  • Color his is, how pretty he is,
  • 00:07:44.876 --> 00:07:46.611
  • Or even how muscular he is.
  • 00:07:46.611 --> 00:07:48.480
  • They are totally confident
  • 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.415
  • Knowing that on the inside of
  • 00:07:50.415 --> 00:07:52.751
  • That little colt he has the
  • 00:07:52.751 --> 00:07:55.520
  • Blood of a champion.
  • 00:07:55.520 --> 00:07:58.423
  • That's how it is with you and
  • 00:07:58.423 --> 00:07:59.758
  • Me.
  • 00:07:59.758 --> 00:08:01.293
  • You didn't come from ordinary
  • 00:08:01.293 --> 00:08:02.294
  • Stock.
  • 00:08:02.294 --> 00:08:03.762
  • You came from the best of the
  • 00:08:03.762 --> 00:08:04.629
  • Best.
  • 00:08:04.629 --> 00:08:06.031
  • It doesn't matter what we look
  • 00:08:06.031 --> 00:08:07.198
  • Like on the outside, what color
  • 00:08:07.198 --> 00:08:09.234
  • We are, how tall or short, how
  • 00:08:09.234 --> 00:08:11.202
  • Attractive or unattractive.
  • 00:08:11.202 --> 00:08:13.905
  • It doesn't matter how many
  • 00:08:13.905 --> 00:08:15.240
  • Weaknesses we have.
  • 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.242
  • You may struggle with an
  • 00:08:17.242 --> 00:08:18.476
  • Addiction.
  • 00:08:18.476 --> 00:08:20.111
  • You may have made some mistakes.
  • 00:08:20.111 --> 00:08:21.413
  • What supersedes all of that is
  • 00:08:21.413 --> 00:08:23.114
  • On the inside you have the dna
  • 00:08:23.114 --> 00:08:25.684
  • Of a champion.
  • 00:08:25.684 --> 00:08:28.353
  • You come from a long list of
  • 00:08:28.353 --> 00:08:29.788
  • Winners.
  • 00:08:29.788 --> 00:08:31.556
  • You look back and study your
  • 00:08:31.556 --> 00:08:33.024
  • Spiritual bloodline you'll see
  • 00:08:33.024 --> 00:08:35.160
  • Your elder brother defeated the
  • 00:08:35.160 --> 00:08:37.162
  • Enemy.
  • 00:08:37.162 --> 00:08:38.830
  • There's victory in your
  • 00:08:38.830 --> 00:08:39.931
  • Bloodline.
  • 00:08:39.931 --> 00:08:41.399
  • You'll see your ancestor
  • 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.034
  • Moses parted the red sea.
  • 00:08:43.034 --> 00:08:45.303
  • There's great faith in your
  • 00:08:45.303 --> 00:08:46.438
  • Bloodline.
  • 00:08:46.438 --> 00:08:48.440
  • David, a shepherd boy, defeated
  • 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:49.608
  • A giant.
  • 00:08:49.608 --> 00:08:51.309
  • There's favor in your bloodline.
  • 00:08:51.309 --> 00:08:53.912
  • Samson pushed down the walls of
  • 00:08:53.912 --> 00:08:55.313
  • A huge building.
  • 00:08:55.313 --> 00:08:57.115
  • There's supernatural strength,
  • 00:08:57.115 --> 00:08:58.483
  • Power, in your bloodline.
  • 00:08:58.483 --> 00:09:00.385
  • Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of
  • 00:09:00.385 --> 00:09:02.320
  • Jerusalem when all the odds were
  • 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.089
  • Against him.
  • 00:09:04.089 --> 00:09:06.191
  • There's increase, promotion,
  • 00:09:06.191 --> 00:09:07.559
  • Abundance in your bloodline.
  • 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:09.961
  • A young lady named esther
  • 00:09:09.961 --> 00:09:11.563
  • Stepped up and saved her people
  • 00:09:11.563 --> 00:09:13.598
  • From a certain death.
  • 00:09:13.598 --> 00:09:15.400
  • There is courage in your
  • 00:09:15.400 --> 00:09:16.234
  • Bloodline.
  • 00:09:16.234 --> 00:09:18.436
  • Now don't go around thinking,
  • 00:09:18.436 --> 00:09:19.270
  • "i could never break this
  • 00:09:19.270 --> 00:09:20.605
  • Addiction."
  • 00:09:20.605 --> 00:09:21.873
  • "i could never afford college."
  • 00:09:21.873 --> 00:09:24.075
  • "i'll never see my family
  • 00:09:24.075 --> 00:09:24.676
  • Restored."
  • 00:09:24.676 --> 00:09:26.344
  • No, you come from a bloodline of
  • 00:09:26.344 --> 00:09:28.079
  • Champions.
  • 00:09:28.079 --> 00:09:29.648
  • It's in your dna.
  • 00:09:29.648 --> 00:09:31.349
  • You were born to win, born to
  • 00:09:31.349 --> 00:09:33.351
  • Overcome, born to live in
  • 00:09:33.351 --> 00:09:35.987
  • Victory. (applause)
  • 00:09:35.987 --> 00:09:37.889
  • Listen, it doesn't matter what
  • 00:09:37.889 --> 00:09:39.758
  • Your present circumstances look
  • 00:09:39.758 --> 00:09:41.826
  • Like.
  • 00:09:41.826 --> 00:09:43.561
  • That addiction didn't come to
  • 00:09:43.561 --> 00:09:44.763
  • Stay. freedom is in your dna.
  • 00:09:44.763 --> 00:09:48.366
  • That sickness is not permanent.
  • 00:09:48.366 --> 00:09:50.402
  • Health and wholeness is in your
  • 00:09:50.402 --> 00:09:51.903
  • Dna.
  • 00:09:51.903 --> 00:09:53.438
  • That family problem, strife,
  • 00:09:53.438 --> 00:09:55.306
  • Division; it's not going to last
  • 00:09:55.306 --> 00:09:56.608
  • Forever.
  • 00:09:56.608 --> 00:09:57.842
  • Restoration is in your dna.
  • 00:09:57.842 --> 00:10:00.512
  • Lack, struggle, barely getting
  • 00:10:00.512 --> 00:10:02.113
  • By; that is not your destiny.
  • 00:10:02.113 --> 00:10:04.616
  • Abundance, increase,
  • 00:10:04.616 --> 00:10:06.918
  • Opportunity, good breaks; that's
  • 00:10:06.918 --> 00:10:08.586
  • What's in your dna.
  • 00:10:08.586 --> 00:10:10.855
  • Now when thoughts tell you that
  • 00:10:10.855 --> 00:10:12.557
  • It's never going to happen just
  • 00:10:12.557 --> 00:10:14.559
  • Go back and check your spiritual
  • 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.828
  • Birth certificate.
  • 00:10:16.828 --> 00:10:19.164
  • Remind yourself who you are.
  • 00:10:19.164 --> 00:10:21.232
  • That thought says, "you'll never
  • 00:10:21.232 --> 00:10:22.801
  • Accomplish your dreams.
  • 00:10:22.801 --> 00:10:24.569
  • You'll never get well."
  • 00:10:24.569 --> 00:10:26.604
  • Just say, "no, thanks.
  • 00:10:26.604 --> 00:10:27.772
  • You've got the wrong person.
  • 00:10:27.772 --> 00:10:29.607
  • I've already checked my birth

  • Certificate.
  • 00:10:30.909 --> 00:10:32.243
  • I know who i am.
  • 00:10:32.243 --> 00:10:33.511
  • Now let me verify what's in my

  • Dna.
  • 00:10:34.746 --> 00:10:37.348
  • That's found in god's word.
  • 00:10:37.348 --> 00:10:39.284
  • Am i supposed to live average,
  • 00:10:39.284 --> 00:10:41.119
  • Lonely, struggling, always
  • 00:10:41.119 --> 00:10:43.888
  • Getting the short end of the
  • 00:10:43.888 --> 00:10:45.023
  • Stick?
  • 00:10:45.023 --> 00:10:45.957
  • No, it says right there in
  • 00:10:45.957 --> 00:10:47.092
  • Psalms, 'god's favor surrounds
  • 00:10:47.092 --> 00:10:49.194
  • Me like a shield.' it says, 'no

  • Prosper.
  • 00:10:52.931 --> 00:10:54.566
  • It says, 'the number of my days
  • 00:10:54.566 --> 00:10:56.401
  • He will fulfill.' it says, 'as
  • 00:10:56.401 --> 00:10:58.670
  • For me and my house we will
  • 00:10:58.670 --> 00:11:00.271
  • Serve the lord.' it says, 'i

  • Down.'" that's what's in your
  • 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:09.814
  • Dna.
  • 00:11:09.814 --> 00:11:10.548
  • When thoughts tell you otherwise
  • 00:11:10.548 --> 00:11:11.883
  • Don't get discouraged.
  • 00:11:11.883 --> 00:11:13.384
  • Just keep checking your

  • Spiritual birth certificate.
  • 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:17.722
  • Keep reminding yourself who you
  • 00:11:17.722 --> 00:11:19.090
  • Are.

  • 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.041
  • Telling jackson who he was.
  • 00:11:37.041 --> 00:11:39.444
  • That was her way of speaking
  • 00:11:39.444 --> 00:11:40.712
  • Faith into him, letting him know
  • 00:11:40.712 --> 00:11:42.213
  • He was going to do great things.
  • 00:11:42.213 --> 00:11:45.116
  • She would say, "alright,
  • 00:11:45.116 --> 00:11:46.151
  • Jackson.
  • 00:11:46.151 --> 00:11:47.085
  • Let me remind you who you are.
  • 00:11:47.085 --> 00:11:48.119
  • You're my superman.
  • 00:11:48.119 --> 00:11:49.687
  • You're my buzz lightyear.
  • 00:11:49.687 --> 00:11:51.589
  • You're my power ranger.
  • 00:11:51.589 --> 00:11:53.224
  • You're my rescue hero.
  • 00:11:53.224 --> 00:11:55.093
  • You're my lightening mcqueen,"
  • 00:11:55.093 --> 00:11:56.361
  • On and on.
  • 00:11:56.361 --> 00:11:57.128
  • Little jackson would lie there,
  • 00:11:57.128 --> 00:11:58.763
  • A big smile on his face, taking
  • 00:11:58.763 --> 00:12:00.031
  • It all in.
  • 00:12:00.031 --> 00:12:02.000
  • One night they got home late and
  • 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.002
  • She wasn't able to go through
  • 00:12:04.002 --> 00:12:05.470
  • That same routine.
  • 00:12:05.470 --> 00:12:07.005
  • She put him in bed in a hurry.
  • 00:12:07.005 --> 00:12:08.573
  • A few minutes she heard this
  • 00:12:08.573 --> 00:12:10.842
  • Little voice hollering out of
  • 00:12:10.842 --> 00:12:12.243
  • His room, "momma! momma!"
  • 00:12:12.243 --> 00:12:13.711
  • She rushed in and said,
  • 00:12:13.711 --> 00:12:15.079
  • "jackson, what's wrong?"
  • 00:12:15.079 --> 00:12:16.648
  • He said, "momma, you forgot to
  • 00:12:16.648 --> 00:12:18.483
  • Tell me who i am." (laughter)
  • 00:12:18.483 --> 00:12:22.520
  • A lot of people in life have
  • 00:12:22.520 --> 00:12:23.922
  • Never been told who they are.
  • 00:12:23.922 --> 00:12:26.357
  • They've had negative voices
  • 00:12:26.357 --> 00:12:28.560
  • Playing over and over.
  • 00:12:28.560 --> 00:12:29.961
  • "you're not talented.
  • 00:12:29.961 --> 00:12:31.095
  • You're not going to ever get
  • 00:12:31.095 --> 00:12:32.831
  • Married.
  • 00:12:32.831 --> 00:12:33.665
  • You'll never get out of debt.
  • 00:12:33.665 --> 00:12:34.599
  • You've come from the wrong
  • 00:12:34.599 --> 00:12:35.200
  • Family."
  • 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.135
  • As long as those voices are
  • 00:12:37.135 --> 00:12:38.870
  • Playing it will keep you from
  • 00:12:38.870 --> 00:12:40.705
  • Your destiny.
  • 00:12:40.705 --> 00:12:42.440
  • Maybe nobody told you who you
  • 00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:43.808
  • Are.
  • 00:12:43.808 --> 00:12:44.843
  • Let me help you out.
  • 00:12:44.843 --> 00:12:46.010
  • You're a child of the most high
  • 00:12:46.010 --> 00:12:46.878
  • God.
  • 00:12:46.878 --> 00:12:48.613
  • You are strong.
  • 00:12:48.613 --> 00:12:49.948
  • You are talented.
  • 00:12:49.948 --> 00:12:51.783
  • You are beautiful.
  • 00:12:51.783 --> 00:12:54.452
  • You are wise.
  • 00:12:54.452 --> 00:12:55.920
  • You are courageous.
  • 00:12:55.920 --> 00:12:57.889
  • You have seeds of greatness.
  • 00:12:57.889 --> 00:13:00.024
  • You can do all things through
  • 00:13:00.024 --> 00:13:01.092
  • Christ.
  • 00:13:01.092 --> 00:13:02.227
  • You didn't come from ordinary
  • 00:13:02.227 --> 00:13:03.194
  • Stock.
  • 00:13:03.194 --> 00:13:04.429
  • You're a thoroughbred.
  • 00:13:04.429 --> 00:13:06.030
  • You have winning in your dna.
  • 00:13:06.030 --> 00:13:08.566
  • You are destined to do great
  • 00:13:08.566 --> 00:13:09.734
  • Things.
  • 00:13:09.734 --> 00:13:11.002
  • That's who almighty god says you
  • 00:13:11.002 --> 00:13:12.437
  • Are.
  • 00:13:12.437 --> 00:13:14.572
  • In the old testament, people
  • 00:13:14.572 --> 00:13:16.107
  • Understood the power of the
  • 00:13:16.107 --> 00:13:17.575
  • Bloodline more than we do today.
  • 00:13:17.575 --> 00:13:20.879
  • God started the first covenant
  • 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:22.447
  • With a jewish man named abraham.
  • 00:13:22.447 --> 00:13:25.316
  • Back in those days if you
  • 00:13:25.316 --> 00:13:27.118
  • Weren't jewish you didn't have a
  • 00:13:27.118 --> 00:13:28.586
  • Right to god's blessings and
  • 00:13:28.586 --> 00:13:30.121
  • Favor.
  • 00:13:30.121 --> 00:13:31.723
  • It was limited to one bloodline
  • 00:13:31.723 --> 00:13:33.358
  • - the jewish people.
  • 00:13:33.358 --> 00:13:35.193
  • In luke 13, jesus saw a woman
  • 00:13:35.193 --> 00:13:37.428
  • That had been bent over with a
  • 00:13:37.428 --> 00:13:39.864
  • Sickness for eighteen years.
  • 00:13:39.864 --> 00:13:41.933
  • He made an interesting
  • 00:13:41.933 --> 00:13:42.800
  • Statement.
  • 00:13:42.800 --> 00:13:44.002
  • He said, "should not this woman
  • 00:13:44.002 --> 00:13:46.237
  • Be loosed from this sickness
  • 00:13:46.237 --> 00:13:49.073
  • Seeing that she is a daughter of
  • 00:13:49.073 --> 00:13:50.408
  • Abraham?"
  • 00:13:50.408 --> 00:13:52.644
  • He was saying, "she comes from
  • 00:13:52.644 --> 00:13:54.112
  • The right family.
  • 00:13:54.112 --> 00:13:55.813
  • Healing is in her dna.
  • 00:13:55.813 --> 00:13:58.283
  • She has a right to be well."
  • 00:13:58.283 --> 00:14:00.118
  • Jesus went over and made her
  • 00:14:00.118 --> 00:14:00.919
  • Whole.
  • 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:02.387
  • Another place just the opposite
  • 00:14:02.387 --> 00:14:04.155
  • Happened.
  • 00:14:04.155 --> 00:14:06.224
  • A gentile woman came up and
  • 00:14:06.224 --> 00:14:08.359
  • Begged jesus to heal her
  • 00:14:08.359 --> 00:14:09.594
  • Daughter.
  • 00:14:09.594 --> 00:14:10.995
  • Jesus said in effect, "i can't
  • 00:14:10.995 --> 00:14:11.996
  • Do it. you come from the wrong
  • 00:14:11.996 --> 00:14:13.598
  • Family."
  • 00:14:13.598 --> 00:14:15.400
  • It didn't seem fair but that's
  • 00:14:15.400 --> 00:14:17.268
  • How powerful the bloodline was.
  • 00:14:17.268 --> 00:14:20.305
  • Now here's the beauty.
  • 00:14:20.305 --> 00:14:21.839
  • When jesus died and rose again
  • 00:14:21.839 --> 00:14:25.009
  • He made a way for all people to
  • 00:14:25.009 --> 00:14:26.744
  • Come to him, both jews and
  • 00:14:26.744 --> 00:14:28.479
  • Gentiles.
  • 00:14:28.479 --> 00:14:30.748
  • Galatians says, "if you're in
  • 00:14:30.748 --> 00:14:32.583
  • Christ you're the seed of
  • 00:14:32.583 --> 00:14:35.053
  • Abraham and heirs according to
  • 00:14:35.053 --> 00:14:36.754
  • The promise."
  • 00:14:36.754 --> 00:14:38.323
  • Now don't go through life
  • 00:14:38.323 --> 00:14:40.158
  • Believing the lies that you've
  • 00:14:40.158 --> 00:14:42.026
  • Come from the wrong family.
  • 00:14:42.026 --> 00:14:43.695
  • "your mother was depressed.
  • 00:14:43.695 --> 00:14:45.563
  • You'll always be depressed."
  • 00:14:45.563 --> 00:14:47.065
  • "your dad was an alcoholic.
  • 00:14:47.065 --> 00:14:48.766
  • You'll be an alcoholic."
  • 00:14:48.766 --> 00:14:50.401
  • No, you have entered into a new
  • 00:14:50.401 --> 00:14:52.036
  • Bloodline.
  • 00:14:52.036 --> 00:14:53.504
  • If god was standing before you
  • 00:14:53.504 --> 00:14:55.239
  • Today he would say the same
  • 00:14:55.239 --> 00:14:56.774
  • Thing he said to that first
  • 00:14:56.774 --> 00:14:58.242
  • Lady.
  • 00:14:58.242 --> 00:14:59.544
  • "should not this man be free
  • 00:14:59.544 --> 00:15:02.013
  • From this addiction seeing that
  • 00:15:02.013 --> 00:15:04.549
  • He is a son of abraham?"
  • 00:15:04.549 --> 00:15:06.751
  • "should not this woman be
  • 00:15:06.751 --> 00:15:07.952
  • Healthy and whole seeing that
  • 00:15:07.952 --> 00:15:09.554
  • She is a daughter of abraham?"
  • 00:15:09.554 --> 00:15:12.890
  • Friends, you have a right to be
  • 00:15:12.890 --> 00:15:14.025
  • Blessed, to be free, to be
  • 00:15:14.025 --> 00:15:16.761
  • Healthy, to be happy, to be
  • 00:15:16.761 --> 00:15:18.629
  • Whole.
  • 00:15:18.629 --> 00:15:19.664
  • It's in your dna.
  • 00:15:19.664 --> 00:15:21.632
  • Now your natural bloodline may
  • 00:15:21.632 --> 00:15:23.568
  • Have some negative things in it
  • 00:15:23.568 --> 00:15:26.037
  • But the spiritual bloodline will
  • 00:15:26.037 --> 00:15:28.006
  • Always overpower your natural
  • 00:15:28.006 --> 00:15:30.641
  • Bloodline.
  • 00:15:30.641 --> 00:15:32.510
  • The spiritual is greater than
  • 00:15:32.510 --> 00:15:34.545
  • The natural.
  • 00:15:34.545 --> 00:15:36.681
  • "well, joel. i've got a lot of
  • 00:15:36.681 --> 00:15:37.648
  • Dysfunction in my family. i've
  • 00:15:37.648 --> 00:15:39.317
  • Got a lot coming against me."
  • 00:15:39.317 --> 00:15:40.852
  • No, your spiritual bloodline
  • 00:15:40.852 --> 00:15:42.320
  • Says you can overcome every
  • 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:43.721
  • Obstacle.
  • 00:15:43.721 --> 00:15:45.490
  • You can break that addiction.
  • 00:15:45.490 --> 00:15:47.091
  • You can beat that sickness.
  • 00:15:47.091 --> 00:15:49.327
  • You can set a new level for your
  • 00:15:49.327 --> 00:15:50.928
  • Family.
  • 00:15:50.928 --> 00:15:51.963
  • Why?
  • 00:15:51.963 --> 00:15:52.997
  • You come from the right
  • 00:15:52.997 --> 00:15:54.032
  • Bloodline.
  • 00:15:54.032 --> 00:15:55.633
  • You have the dna of a champion.
  • 00:15:55.633 --> 00:15:58.369
  • Judges, chapter 6, the
  • 00:15:58.369 --> 00:16:00.238
  • Midianites had overtaken the
  • 00:16:00.238 --> 00:16:02.206
  • People of israel.
  • 00:16:02.206 --> 00:16:03.808
  • They were making their lives
  • 00:16:03.808 --> 00:16:04.709
  • Miserable.
  • 00:16:04.709 --> 00:16:06.477
  • When the israelites crops would
  • 00:16:06.477 --> 00:16:07.712
  • Come up the midianites would go
  • 00:16:07.712 --> 00:16:09.313
  • Take them.
  • 00:16:09.313 --> 00:16:10.715
  • They were bigger and stronger.
  • 00:16:10.715 --> 00:16:12.550
  • It looked like they would
  • 00:16:12.550 --> 00:16:13.651
  • Eventually drive the israelites
  • 00:16:13.651 --> 00:16:14.919
  • Away.
  • 00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:16.387
  • There was a man named gideon
  • 00:16:16.387 --> 00:16:17.922
  • That was hiding in the fields
  • 00:16:17.922 --> 00:16:19.991
  • Afraid of the midianites.
  • 00:16:19.991 --> 00:16:22.960
  • An angel appeared unto him and
  • 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:24.762
  • Said, "mighty hero, the lord is
  • 00:16:24.762 --> 00:16:27.198
  • With you."
  • 00:16:27.198 --> 00:16:29.200
  • I can imagine gideon looked
  • 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:31.002
  • Around and thought, "who's he
  • 00:16:31.002 --> 00:16:32.270
  • Talking about? i'm not a mighty
  • 00:16:32.270 --> 00:16:34.272
  • Hero."
  • 00:16:34.272 --> 00:16:35.673
  • Gideon wasn't strong and
  • 00:16:35.673 --> 00:16:36.774
  • Courageous. he was just the
  • 00:16:36.774 --> 00:16:38.876
  • Opposite; afraid and
  • 00:16:38.876 --> 00:16:40.144
  • Intimidated, yet god called him
  • 00:16:40.144 --> 00:16:41.879
  • A mighty hero.
  • 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.750
  • Like gideon, you may feel weak
  • 00:16:45.750 --> 00:16:48.319
  • But god calls you strong.
  • 00:16:48.319 --> 00:16:50.521
  • You may feel intimidated.
  • 00:16:50.521 --> 00:16:52.723
  • God calls you courageous.
  • 00:16:52.723 --> 00:16:55.159
  • You may feel inadequate.
  • 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:56.961
  • God calls you well able.
  • 00:16:56.961 --> 00:16:58.796
  • You may think you're average but
  • 00:16:58.796 --> 00:17:00.865
  • God calls you a mighty hero.
  • 00:17:00.865 --> 00:17:04.402
  • Now when you get up in the
  • 00:17:04.402 --> 00:17:05.570
  • Morning and the negative
  • 00:17:05.570 --> 00:17:06.838
  • Thoughts come reminding you of
  • 00:17:06.838 --> 00:17:09.240
  • What you're not, telling you of
  • 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:10.641
  • All your flaws, your weaknesses,
  • 00:17:10.641 --> 00:17:12.944
  • Put your shoulders back.
  • 00:17:12.944 --> 00:17:14.879
  • Hold your head up high.
  • 00:17:14.879 --> 00:17:17.081
  • Dare to look in the mirror and
  • 00:17:17.081 --> 00:17:18.983
  • Say, "good morning you mighty
  • 00:17:18.983 --> 00:17:19.984
  • Hero."
  • 00:17:19.984 --> 00:17:22.086
  • Let these thoughts play all
  • 00:17:22.086 --> 00:17:23.454
  • Through the day.
  • 00:17:23.454 --> 00:17:24.455
  • "i am strong.
  • 00:17:24.455 --> 00:17:25.523
  • I'm courageous.
  • 00:17:25.523 --> 00:17:27.291
  • I have the dna of a champion.
  • 00:17:27.291 --> 00:17:29.827
  • I am who god says i am.
  • 00:17:29.827 --> 00:17:31.762
  • I can do what god says i can
  • 00:17:31.762 --> 00:17:32.997
  • Do."
  • 00:17:32.997 --> 00:17:34.599
  • You've got to remind yourself
  • 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:36.400
  • Who you are, not weak, defeated.
  • 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.370
  • You are a mighty hero.
  • 00:17:39.370 --> 00:17:42.607
  • The angel went on to say,
  • 00:17:42.607 --> 00:17:43.841
  • "gideon, you are to deliver
  • 00:17:43.841 --> 00:17:45.409
  • God's people from the
  • 00:17:45.409 --> 00:17:46.844
  • Midianites."
  • 00:17:46.844 --> 00:17:48.613
  • Gideon said, "how can i do that?
  • 00:17:48.613 --> 00:17:51.149
  • I come from the poorest family.
  • 00:17:51.149 --> 00:17:53.551
  • I am the least one in my
  • 00:17:53.551 --> 00:17:55.520
  • Father's house."
  • 00:17:55.520 --> 00:17:57.188
  • What was the problem?
  • 00:17:57.188 --> 00:17:58.589
  • Gideon didn't know who he was.
  • 00:17:58.589 --> 00:18:01.092
  • God had just called him a mighty
  • 00:18:01.092 --> 00:18:02.360
  • Hero.
  • 00:18:02.360 --> 00:18:04.128
  • A couple of chapters later
  • 00:18:04.128 --> 00:18:05.363
  • Gideon was talking with his
  • 00:18:05.363 --> 00:18:06.597
  • Enemies.
  • 00:18:06.597 --> 00:18:08.199
  • He asked them, "what did the men
  • 00:18:08.199 --> 00:18:09.800
  • Look like that you saw?"
  • 00:18:09.800 --> 00:18:12.370
  • They said, "gideon, they looked
  • 00:18:12.370 --> 00:18:14.105
  • Like you, like a king's son."
  • 00:18:14.105 --> 00:18:17.642
  • Here, gideon felt like he was
  • 00:18:17.642 --> 00:18:19.510
  • The least, inadequate, not able
  • 00:18:19.510 --> 00:18:21.612
  • To.
  • 00:18:21.612 --> 00:18:23.080
  • But even his enemies said, "you
  • 00:18:23.080 --> 00:18:25.283
  • Look like a king's son."
  • 00:18:25.283 --> 00:18:27.919
  • If you allow the wrong thoughts
  • 00:18:27.919 --> 00:18:29.921
  • To play in your mind you can
  • 00:18:29.921 --> 00:18:31.689
  • Have the talent, the
  • 00:18:31.689 --> 00:18:32.823
  • Opportunity, the strength, the
  • 00:18:32.823 --> 00:18:35.159
  • Looks, but like gideon you'll
  • 00:18:35.159 --> 00:18:36.961
  • Make excuses and talk yourself
  • 00:18:36.961 --> 00:18:38.863
  • Out of it.
  • 00:18:38.863 --> 00:18:40.831
  • I love the fact that god not
  • 00:18:40.831 --> 00:18:42.433
  • Only calls you a mighty hero but
  • 00:18:42.433 --> 00:18:44.936
  • Even the enemy sees you as a
  • 00:18:44.936 --> 00:18:47.471
  • King's son, a king's daughter.
  • 00:18:47.471 --> 00:18:51.108
  • He knows who you are.
  • 00:18:51.108 --> 00:18:52.710
  • Now make sure you know who you
  • 00:18:52.710 --> 00:18:54.412
  • Are.
  • 00:18:54.412 --> 00:18:56.347
  • Carry yourself like a king, like
  • 00:18:56.347 --> 00:18:58.649
  • A queen, like a mighty hero.
  • 00:18:58.649 --> 00:19:02.453
  • You come from the right family.
  • 00:19:02.453 --> 00:19:04.589
  • It's interesting, when god
  • 00:19:04.589 --> 00:19:06.157
  • Called gideon a mighty hero, up
  • 00:19:06.157 --> 00:19:08.359
  • To that point gideon had not
  • 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:10.361
  • Done anything significant.
  • 00:19:10.361 --> 00:19:12.530
  • He had not parted a red sea like
  • 00:19:12.530 --> 00:19:14.398
  • Moses.
  • 00:19:14.398 --> 00:19:16.234
  • He had not defeated a giant like
  • 00:19:16.234 --> 00:19:17.268
  • David.
  • 00:19:17.268 --> 00:19:19.103
  • He had not brought somebody back
  • 00:19:19.103 --> 00:19:20.605
  • To life like the prophet elijah.
  • 00:19:20.605 --> 00:19:23.174
  • I can understand god calling him
  • 00:19:23.174 --> 00:19:24.709
  • That if he had done something
  • 00:19:24.709 --> 00:19:25.943
  • Amazing.
  • 00:19:25.943 --> 00:19:27.511
  • But it seemed like he was just
  • 00:19:27.511 --> 00:19:28.512
  • Ordinary, insignificant, nothing
  • 00:19:28.512 --> 00:19:30.081
  • Special about him.
  • 00:19:30.081 --> 00:19:32.083
  • But god saw something in gideon
  • 00:19:32.083 --> 00:19:34.485
  • That other people did not see.
  • 00:19:34.485 --> 00:19:36.554
  • God saw his potential.
  • 00:19:36.554 --> 00:19:38.856
  • God saw what he could become.
  • 00:19:38.856 --> 00:19:41.626
  • You may feel like you're
  • 00:19:41.626 --> 00:19:42.693
  • Average.
  • 00:19:42.693 --> 00:19:43.761
  • You may think you're ordinary
  • 00:19:43.761 --> 00:19:45.162
  • But god sees the mighty hero in
  • 00:19:45.162 --> 00:19:46.931
  • You.
  • 00:19:46.931 --> 00:19:49.467
  • God sees the dna of a champion.
  • 00:19:49.467 --> 00:19:51.836
  • He sees the king's son, the
  • 00:19:51.836 --> 00:19:53.504
  • King's daughter.
  • 00:19:53.504 --> 00:19:55.806
  • Now do yourself a favor.
  • 00:19:55.806 --> 00:19:57.441
  • Turn off the negative recording
  • 00:19:57.441 --> 00:19:58.943
  • That's reminding you of what
  • 00:19:58.943 --> 00:20:00.611
  • You're not and get in agreement
  • 00:20:00.611 --> 00:20:02.280
  • With god.
  • 00:20:02.280 --> 00:20:04.248
  • Start seeing yourself as that
  • 00:20:04.248 --> 00:20:05.549
  • Mighty hero.
  • 00:20:05.549 --> 00:20:07.718
  • When god told moses to go speak
  • 00:20:07.718 --> 00:20:09.720
  • To pharaoh and tell him to let
  • 00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:11.289
  • The people go the first thing
  • 00:20:11.289 --> 00:20:12.990
  • Moses said was, "who am i?"
  • 00:20:12.990 --> 00:20:16.560
  • He was saying, "god, i'm
  • 00:20:16.560 --> 00:20:17.995
  • Ordinary. pharaoh is the leader
  • 00:20:17.995 --> 00:20:20.631
  • Of a nation. he is not going to
  • 00:20:20.631 --> 00:20:22.400
  • Listen to me."
  • 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:24.001
  • Moses forgot who he was.
  • 00:20:24.001 --> 00:20:26.404
  • He didn't see himself as a
  • 00:20:26.404 --> 00:20:28.039
  • King's son but as inadequate.
  • 00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:31.609
  • He focused on his weaknesses,
  • 00:20:31.609 --> 00:20:33.277
  • His limitations.
  • 00:20:33.277 --> 00:20:35.246
  • He started making excuses.
  • 00:20:35.246 --> 00:20:36.681
  • He said, "god, i can't go talk
  • 00:20:36.681 --> 00:20:38.082
  • To pharaoh. i stutter. i've got
  • 00:20:38.082 --> 00:20:40.718
  • A problem with my speech."
  • 00:20:40.718 --> 00:20:42.920
  • God said, "moses, who made your
  • 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:44.922
  • Tongue? who makes the deaf to
  • 00:20:44.922 --> 00:20:47.325
  • Hear? who makes the blind to
  • 00:20:47.325 --> 00:20:49.493
  • See?"
  • 00:20:49.493 --> 00:20:50.594
  • God was saying, "moses, i
  • 00:20:50.594 --> 00:20:51.762
  • Breathed my life into you.
  • 00:20:51.762 --> 00:20:54.198
  • I put my dna on the inside.
  • 00:20:54.198 --> 00:20:57.535
  • You may feel weak, inadequate,
  • 00:20:57.535 --> 00:20:59.236
  • Insecure, but moses, i don't
  • 00:20:59.236 --> 00:21:01.105
  • Want to hear your excuses.
  • 00:21:01.105 --> 00:21:03.407
  • Quit telling me what you're not.
  • 00:21:03.407 --> 00:21:05.443
  • I have the final say and i say
  • 00:21:05.443 --> 00:21:07.111
  • You're a king's son.
  • 00:21:07.111 --> 00:21:09.647
  • I say you're a mighty hero.
  • 00:21:09.647 --> 00:21:12.083
  • I say you can do all things
  • 00:21:12.083 --> 00:21:13.584
  • Through christ."
  • 00:21:13.584 --> 00:21:14.919
  • That's what god is saying to
  • 00:21:14.919 --> 00:21:16.253
  • Each one of us today.
  • 00:21:16.253 --> 00:21:17.555
  • (applause)
  • 00:21:17.555 --> 00:21:18.789
  • I know a young lady that was
  • 00:21:18.789 --> 00:21:20.358
  • Raised in a single-parent home
  • 00:21:20.358 --> 00:21:21.959
  • In government housing.
  • 00:21:21.959 --> 00:21:23.728
  • Her mother wasn't around much
  • 00:21:23.728 --> 00:21:25.162
  • Growing up.
  • 00:21:25.162 --> 00:21:26.197
  • They were very poor.
  • 00:21:26.197 --> 00:21:27.198
  • At sixteen years old she got
  • 00:21:27.198 --> 00:21:28.799
  • Pregnant and had to drop out of
  • 00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:30.267
  • School.
  • 00:21:30.267 --> 00:21:32.069
  • At one time she had a big dream
  • 00:21:32.069 --> 00:21:33.771
  • For her life.
  • 00:21:33.771 --> 00:21:35.005
  • She knew she was going to be
  • 00:21:35.005 --> 00:21:36.040
  • Something great but now it
  • 00:21:36.040 --> 00:21:37.441
  • Looked like this cycle of lack
  • 00:21:37.441 --> 00:21:40.277
  • And defeat would be passed to
  • 00:21:40.277 --> 00:21:41.679
  • The next generation.
  • 00:21:41.679 --> 00:21:43.714
  • She moved into a tiny apartment
  • 00:21:43.714 --> 00:21:45.483
  • To try to raise her son but she
  • 00:21:45.483 --> 00:21:46.917
  • Couldn't make ends meet.
  • 00:21:46.917 --> 00:21:49.153
  • She had to go on welfare.
  • 00:21:49.153 --> 00:21:50.788
  • She found a job at a school
  • 00:21:50.788 --> 00:21:53.357
  • Cafeteria punching the meal
  • 00:21:53.357 --> 00:21:54.558
  • Tickets.
  • 00:21:54.558 --> 00:21:56.093
  • She was making minimum wage,
  • 00:21:56.093 --> 00:21:57.762
  • Barely making it through, but
  • 00:21:57.762 --> 00:21:59.530
  • Something down in here said,
  • 00:21:59.530 --> 00:22:01.565
  • "you were made for more.
  • 00:22:01.565 --> 00:22:03.200
  • You're not a chicken.
  • 00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:04.402
  • You're an eagle."
  • 00:22:04.402 --> 00:22:05.436
  • She decided to go back to
  • 00:22:05.436 --> 00:22:06.704
  • School.
  • 00:22:06.704 --> 00:22:08.005
  • In two years she got her ged.
  • 00:22:08.005 --> 00:22:10.241
  • That was good but she wasn't
  • 00:22:10.241 --> 00:22:11.809
  • Satisfied.
  • 00:22:11.809 --> 00:22:13.644
  • She enrolled in college.
  • 00:22:13.644 --> 00:22:15.679
  • She would work during the day
  • 00:22:15.679 --> 00:22:17.148
  • And go to class at night.
  • 00:22:17.148 --> 00:22:19.049
  • In four years she graduated from
  • 00:22:19.049 --> 00:22:20.718
  • College with honors.
  • 00:22:20.718 --> 00:22:23.053
  • She still wasn't satisfied.
  • 00:22:23.053 --> 00:22:24.755
  • She went back and got her
  • 00:22:24.755 --> 00:22:26.323
  • Master's degree.
  • 00:22:26.323 --> 00:22:28.092
  • Today, she is the assistant
  • 00:22:28.092 --> 00:22:29.627
  • Principal at the same school
  • 00:22:29.627 --> 00:22:31.796
  • Where she used to punch meal
  • 00:22:31.796 --> 00:22:32.997
  • Tickets.
  • 00:22:32.997 --> 00:22:34.198
  • She said, "i used to be on
  • 00:22:34.198 --> 00:22:35.399
  • Welfare but now i'm doing fair
  • 00:22:35.399 --> 00:22:36.967
  • And well."
  • 00:22:36.967 --> 00:22:38.536
  • (applause)
  • 00:22:38.536 --> 00:22:40.037
  • That's what happens when you
  • 00:22:40.037 --> 00:22:41.038
  • Know who you are.
  • 00:22:41.038 --> 00:22:43.207
  • Now, you may work around a bunch
  • 00:22:43.207 --> 00:22:44.875
  • Of chickens.
  • 00:22:44.875 --> 00:22:46.477
  • You may live by some chickens.
  • 00:22:46.477 --> 00:22:49.246
  • You may have relatives that
  • 00:22:49.246 --> 00:22:50.214
  • Still think they're chickens.
  • 00:22:50.214 --> 00:22:51.682
  • (laughter)
  • 00:22:51.682 --> 00:22:52.783
  • You've got to do like she did.
  • 00:22:52.783 --> 00:22:53.884
  • Draw that line in the sand and
  • 00:22:53.884 --> 00:22:55.319
  • Say, "i may be in a limited
  • 00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.354
  • Environment but i am not
  • 00:22:57.354 --> 00:22:59.423
  • Settling here.
  • 00:22:59.423 --> 00:23:00.991
  • I know who i am.
  • 00:23:00.991 --> 00:23:02.560
  • I'm an eagle.
  • 00:23:02.560 --> 00:23:03.761
  • I'm a king's son.
  • 00:23:03.761 --> 00:23:05.162
  • I'm a mighty hero.
  • 00:23:05.162 --> 00:23:06.764
  • I'm a thoroughbred.
  • 00:23:06.764 --> 00:23:08.199
  • I've got winning in my dna.
  • 00:23:08.199 --> 00:23:09.467
  • (applause)
  • 00:23:09.467 --> 00:23:11.235
  • Friends, you come from a
  • 00:23:11.235 --> 00:23:13.103
  • Bloodline of champions.
  • 00:23:13.103 --> 00:23:15.806
  • Get up every morning and check

  • Your spiritual birth
  • 00:23:17.241 --> 00:23:18.242
  • Certificate.
  • 00:23:18.242 --> 00:23:19.143
  • Remind yourself who you are.
  • 00:23:19.143 --> 00:23:21.712
  • If you do this, i believe and
