I like to start with something funny. i heard
00:00:27.217 --> 00:00:28.918
Something funny. i heard about these three men that
00:00:28.985 --> 00:00:30.220
About these three men that were traveling together; a
00:00:30.286 --> 00:00:32.021
Were traveling together; a hindu priest, a jewish rabbi
00:00:32.088 --> 00:00:34.390
Hindu priest, a jewish rabbi and a televangelist. they
00:00:34.457 --> 00:00:36.526
And a televangelist. they stopped at a farmhouse for

Stopped at a farmhouse for lodging. the farmer said, “i
00:00:37.861 --> 00:00:39.329
Lodging. the farmer said, “i only have room for two of you
00:00:39.395 --> 00:00:40.630
Only have room for two of you in the house. somebody will
00:00:40.697 --> 00:00:42.365
In the house. somebody will have to stay in the barn.”
00:00:42.432 --> 00:00:44.067
Have to stay in the barn.” the hindu priest said, “i'll
00:00:44.134 --> 00:00:45.068
The hindu priest said, “i'll do it.” in a few minutes,
00:00:45.135 --> 00:00:46.469
Do it.” in a few minutes, there was a knock on the
00:00:46.536 --> 00:00:47.237
There was a knock on the door. he said, “i can't stay
00:00:47.303 --> 00:00:48.972
Door. he said, “i can't stay out there. there's a cow and
00:00:49.038 --> 00:00:50.673
Out there. there's a cow and cows are sacred in our
00:00:50.740 --> 00:00:52.041
Cows are sacred in our religion.” the jewish rabbi
00:00:52.108 --> 00:00:54.077
Religion.” the jewish rabbi said, “i'll do it.” a few
00:00:54.144 --> 00:00:55.645
Said, “i'll do it.” a few minutes later there was a
00:00:55.712 --> 00:00:56.346
Minutes later there was a knock on the door. he said,

Knock on the door. he said, “i can't stay out there.
00:00:57.947 --> 00:00:58.915
“i can't stay out there. there's a pig and that
00:00:58.982 --> 00:01:00.450
There's a pig and that wouldn't be kosher.” the
00:01:00.517 --> 00:01:02.285
Wouldn't be kosher.” the televangelist finally said,
00:01:02.352 --> 00:01:03.520
Televangelist finally said, “all right, i'll do it.” in a
00:01:03.586 --> 00:01:05.221
“all right, i'll do it.” in a few minutes, there was a
00:01:05.288 --> 00:01:06.022
Few minutes, there was a knock on the door. it was the

Knock on the door. it was the cow and the pig. (laughter)
00:01:07.824 --> 00:01:09.759
Cow and the pig. (laughter) this is my bible. i am what
00:01:09.826 --> 00:01:13.396
This is my bible. i am what it says i am. i have what it
00:01:13.463 --> 00:01:15.465
It says i am. i have what it says i have. i can do what it
00:01:15.532 --> 00:01:17.634
Says i have. i can do what it says i can do. today, i will
00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:19.769
Says i can do. today, i will be taught the word of god. i
00:01:19.836 --> 00:01:22.505
Be taught the word of god. i boldly confess: my mind is
00:01:22.572 --> 00:01:24.474
Boldly confess: my mind is alert. my heart is receptive.
00:01:24.541 --> 00:01:26.543
Alert. my heart is receptive. i will never be the same in
00:01:26.609 --> 00:01:28.645
I will never be the same in jesus' name. god bless you.
00:01:28.711 --> 00:01:32.348
Jesus' name. god bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:32.415 --> 00:01:33.583
I want to talk to you today about from limping to
00:01:33.650 --> 00:01:35.351
About from limping to leaping. all of us can find
00:01:35.418 --> 00:01:37.921
Leaping. all of us can find some reason to limp. we
00:01:37.987 --> 00:01:39.789
Some reason to limp. we weren't raised in a good
00:01:39.856 --> 00:01:40.723
Weren't raised in a good environment, a relationship
00:01:40.790 --> 00:01:42.792
Environment, a relationship didn't work out, the boss
00:01:42.859 --> 00:01:44.794
Didn't work out, the boss doesn't give us credit. now
00:01:44.861 --> 00:01:46.663
Doesn't give us credit. now we're at a disadvantage.
00:01:46.729 --> 00:01:48.865
We're at a disadvantage. sometimes a limp is passed
00:01:48.932 --> 00:01:50.633
Sometimes a limp is passed down. all we saw modeled
00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:52.769
Down. all we saw modeled growing up was anger,
00:01:52.835 --> 00:01:54.437
Growing up was anger, addictions, people not
00:01:54.504 --> 00:01:56.039
Addictions, people not faithful. that feels normal
00:01:56.105 --> 00:01:58.107
Faithful. that feels normal to us. we don't realize we're
00:01:58.174 --> 00:02:00.810
To us. we don't realize we're limping. too often, we let
00:02:00.877 --> 00:02:03.279
Limping. too often, we let the limp be an excuse to
00:02:03.346 --> 00:02:04.914
The limp be an excuse to settle where we are, water
00:02:04.981 --> 00:02:06.983
Settle where we are, water down our dreams, not believe
00:02:07.050 --> 00:02:08.952
Down our dreams, not believe for greater things. “if i
00:02:09.018 --> 00:02:10.820
For greater things. “if i could have finished school,
00:02:10.887 --> 00:02:12.488
Could have finished school, then i could be successful.
00:02:12.555 --> 00:02:13.957
Then i could be successful. if i hadn't made these
00:02:14.023 --> 00:02:15.291
If i hadn't made these mistakes, wasted years
00:02:15.358 --> 00:02:17.360
Mistakes, wasted years compromising, then i could be
00:02:17.427 --> 00:02:19.195
Compromising, then i could be happy.” we're all going to
00:02:19.262 --> 00:02:21.197
Happy.” we're all going to have times where we have a
00:02:21.264 --> 00:02:22.966
Have times where we have a limp. but here's the key.
00:02:23.032 --> 00:02:24.867
Limp. but here's the key. that limp was never supposed
00:02:24.934 --> 00:02:27.270
That limp was never supposed to be permanent. god didn't
00:02:27.337 --> 00:02:29.472
To be permanent. god didn't create you to live insecure,
00:02:29.539 --> 00:02:31.808
Create you to live insecure, lonely, not having enough.
00:02:31.874 --> 00:02:34.277
Lonely, not having enough. sure, those things may come
00:02:34.344 --> 00:02:36.312
Sure, those things may come but he knows how to heal,
00:02:36.379 --> 00:02:38.081
But he knows how to heal, restore, and turn things
00:02:38.147 --> 00:02:39.515
Restore, and turn things around. but as long as you're
00:02:39.582 --> 00:02:41.751
Around. but as long as you're using the limp as an excuse,
00:02:41.818 --> 00:02:44.087
Using the limp as an excuse, you'll get stuck. you may be
00:02:44.153 --> 00:02:46.522
You'll get stuck. you may be limping now, things have
00:02:46.589 --> 00:02:48.358
Limping now, things have happened that you don't
00:02:48.424 --> 00:02:49.325
Happened that you don't understand, that limp is not
00:02:49.392 --> 00:02:51.928
Understand, that limp is not how your story ends, that
00:02:51.995 --> 00:02:54.163
How your story ends, that disappointment, the betrayal,
00:02:54.230 --> 00:02:56.199
Disappointment, the betrayal, the unhealthy childhood. god
00:02:56.266 --> 00:02:58.835
The unhealthy childhood. god knows how to take what was
00:02:58.901 --> 00:03:00.203
Knows how to take what was meant for harm and turn it to
00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:02.105
Meant for harm and turn it to your advantage.
00:03:02.171 --> 00:03:03.706
Your advantage. now you have to get in
00:03:03.773 --> 00:03:04.607
Now you have to get in agreement with him. you can't
00:03:04.674 --> 00:03:06.643
Agreement with him. you can't go around accommodating the
00:03:06.709 --> 00:03:08.077
Go around accommodating the limp, making excuses to
00:03:08.144 --> 00:03:10.313
Limp, making excuses to settle, “joel, i've been
00:03:10.380 --> 00:03:12.148
Settle, “joel, i've been injured. i've been hurt.
00:03:12.215 --> 00:03:14.050
Injured. i've been hurt. that's why i'm angry, that's
00:03:14.117 --> 00:03:15.718
That's why i'm angry, that's why i compromise, that's why
00:03:15.785 --> 00:03:16.986
Why i compromise, that's why i can't be successful.” can i
00:03:17.053 --> 00:03:19.289
I can't be successful.” can i tell you; everyone has been
00:03:19.355 --> 00:03:21.024
Tell you; everyone has been injured. everyone has had bad
00:03:21.090 --> 00:03:23.426
Injured. everyone has had bad breaks. but the people who go
00:03:23.493 --> 00:03:25.728
Breaks. but the people who go on to do great things,
00:03:25.795 --> 00:03:27.630
On to do great things, fulfill their destinies are
00:03:27.697 --> 00:03:29.999
Fulfill their destinies are the people that don't let the
00:03:30.066 --> 00:03:31.701
The people that don't let the limp become an excuse to
00:03:31.768 --> 00:03:33.903
Limp become an excuse to settle. the people that know
00:03:33.970 --> 00:03:36.005
Settle. the people that know the limp is only temporary,
00:03:36.072 --> 00:03:38.408
The limp is only temporary, that god wouldn't have
00:03:38.474 --> 00:03:39.409
That god wouldn't have allowed it if he didn't have
00:03:39.475 --> 00:03:40.943
Allowed it if he didn't have a purpose. it's the people
00:03:41.010 --> 00:03:43.046
A purpose. it's the people that expect things to turn in
00:03:43.112 --> 00:03:45.248
That expect things to turn in their favor. the right
00:03:45.315 --> 00:03:47.116
Their favor. the right attitude is, “i may be
00:03:47.183 --> 00:03:48.751
Attitude is, “i may be limping now. i'm not denying
00:03:48.818 --> 00:03:51.087
Limping now. i'm not denying that i'm disappointed,
00:03:51.154 --> 00:03:52.689
That i'm disappointed, lonely, i've had a setback,
00:03:52.755 --> 00:03:54.924
Lonely, i've had a setback, but i know god is still on
00:03:54.991 --> 00:03:56.192
But i know god is still on the throne. i wouldn't be
00:03:56.259 --> 00:03:57.794
The throne. i wouldn't be alive unless he had something
00:03:57.860 --> 00:03:59.529
Alive unless he had something better coming.”
00:03:59.595 --> 00:04:00.196
Better coming.” when i was in the ninth
00:04:00.263 --> 00:04:01.998
When i was in the ninth grade, i was on the
00:04:02.065 --> 00:04:03.232
Grade, i was on the basketball team. one day
00:04:03.299 --> 00:04:05.301
Basketball team. one day during practice, the coach
00:04:05.368 --> 00:04:07.003
During practice, the coach had us go to the track and
00:04:07.070 --> 00:04:08.271
Had us go to the track and run a mile. he walked into
00:04:08.338 --> 00:04:10.106
Run a mile. he walked into the fieldhouse. i always
00:04:10.173 --> 00:04:12.241
The fieldhouse. i always liked to have fun and make
00:04:12.308 --> 00:04:13.509
Liked to have fun and make people laugh. we were running
00:04:13.576 --> 00:04:15.678
People laugh. we were running in a big group together, but
00:04:15.745 --> 00:04:17.714
In a big group together, but when i saw the coach was
00:04:17.780 --> 00:04:18.848
When i saw the coach was gone, i cut across the
00:04:18.915 --> 00:04:20.650
Gone, i cut across the fifty-yard line, to the other
00:04:20.717 --> 00:04:22.652
Fifty-yard line, to the other side of the track, so it
00:04:22.719 --> 00:04:24.220
Side of the track, so it would look like i was way
00:04:24.287 --> 00:04:25.154
Would look like i was way ahead. i was running full
00:04:25.221 --> 00:04:27.023
Ahead. i was running full speed, almost across, but
00:04:27.090 --> 00:04:29.525
Speed, almost across, but there was this metal drain
00:04:29.592 --> 00:04:30.793
There was this metal drain cover, about two feet by two
00:04:30.860 --> 00:04:32.929
Cover, about two feet by two feet, a big grate that the
00:04:32.995 --> 00:04:34.464
Feet, a big grate that the water went through. i didn't
00:04:34.530 --> 00:04:36.599
Water went through. i didn't want to step on that, so i
00:04:36.666 --> 00:04:38.067
Want to step on that, so i stepped right before it. what
00:04:38.134 --> 00:04:40.036
Stepped right before it. what i couldn't see is there was a
00:04:40.103 --> 00:04:41.637
I couldn't see is there was a big hole about a foot deep
00:04:41.704 --> 00:04:44.207
Big hole about a foot deep where the water had drained
00:04:44.273 --> 00:04:45.274
Where the water had drained in from the side, it was
00:04:45.341 --> 00:04:46.809
In from the side, it was covered with grass. i stepped
00:04:46.876 --> 00:04:49.078
Covered with grass. i stepped in that hole, my knee hit the
00:04:49.145 --> 00:04:51.381
In that hole, my knee hit the metal drain cover, and i
00:04:51.447 --> 00:04:53.049
Metal drain cover, and i broke my knee cap. it didn't
00:04:53.116 --> 00:04:55.585
Broke my knee cap. it didn't really hurt that bad. i
00:04:55.651 --> 00:04:56.586
Really hurt that bad. i turned a somersault, i got
00:04:56.652 --> 00:04:58.788
Turned a somersault, i got up, i kept running. then i
00:04:58.855 --> 00:05:00.590
Up, i kept running. then i looked down at my knee and
00:05:00.656 --> 00:05:01.524
Looked down at my knee and nearly passed out. i went to
00:05:01.591 --> 00:05:03.493
Nearly passed out. i went to the hospital, had surgery,
00:05:03.559 --> 00:05:05.928
The hospital, had surgery, everything came out fine. but
00:05:05.995 --> 00:05:07.797
Everything came out fine. but for three months i was on
00:05:07.864 --> 00:05:09.198
For three months i was on crutches, i couldn't bend my
00:05:09.265 --> 00:05:10.700
Crutches, i couldn't bend my leg. every day after school i
00:05:10.767 --> 00:05:13.636
Leg. every day after school i would go to basketball
00:05:13.703 --> 00:05:14.637
Would go to basketball practice, sit on the
00:05:14.704 --> 00:05:16.239
Practice, sit on the sidelines and watch the team.
00:05:16.305 --> 00:05:18.341
Sidelines and watch the team. i learned the plays, studied
00:05:18.408 --> 00:05:21.144
I learned the plays, studied the offense. in my mind i was
00:05:21.210 --> 00:05:23.613
The offense. in my mind i was out there with them, like
00:05:23.679 --> 00:05:25.281
Out there with them, like lebron james, jumping,
00:05:25.348 --> 00:05:26.783
Lebron james, jumping, shooting, defending.
00:05:26.849 --> 00:05:28.918
Shooting, defending. i was injured but i knew it
00:05:28.985 --> 00:05:31.421
I was injured but i knew it was only temporary. i knew in
00:05:31.487 --> 00:05:33.956
Was only temporary. i knew in three months i was going to
00:05:34.023 --> 00:05:35.091
Three months i was going to be back on the court, in the
00:05:35.158 --> 00:05:36.759
Be back on the court, in the game, better than ever. i
00:05:36.826 --> 00:05:39.028
Game, better than ever. i didn't sit around at home
00:05:39.095 --> 00:05:40.363
Didn't sit around at home depressed, “man, i want to
00:05:40.430 --> 00:05:42.265
Depressed, “man, i want to play but i got this injury.”
00:05:42.331 --> 00:05:44.434
Play but i got this injury.” or down on myself, “if i
00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:46.469
Or down on myself, “if i wouldn't have made that
00:05:46.536 --> 00:05:47.236
Wouldn't have made that mistake, if i had just stayed
00:05:47.303 --> 00:05:49.038
Mistake, if i had just stayed on the track like the rest of
00:05:49.105 --> 00:05:50.306
On the track like the rest of the guys, i wouldn't have
00:05:50.373 --> 00:05:51.674
The guys, i wouldn't have this problem.
00:05:51.741 --> 00:05:53.443
This problem. too many times we normalize
00:05:53.509 --> 00:05:55.111
Too many times we normalize the limp. “all my family is
00:05:55.178 --> 00:05:56.946
The limp. “all my family is depressed, that's why i am
00:05:57.013 --> 00:05:58.314
Depressed, that's why i am depressed. i can't get my
00:05:58.381 --> 00:06:00.316
Depressed. i can't get my degree. i'm not that smart.
00:06:00.383 --> 00:06:02.485
Degree. i'm not that smart. this person walked out on me,
00:06:02.552 --> 00:06:03.986
This person walked out on me, broke my heart. i'll never be
00:06:04.053 --> 00:06:05.755
Broke my heart. i'll never be happy again.” you don't
00:06:05.822 --> 00:06:07.824
Happy again.” you don't realize that's a limp. you're
00:06:07.890 --> 00:06:10.393
Realize that's a limp. you're learning to live with it,
00:06:10.460 --> 00:06:12.261
Learning to live with it, letting it be an excuse to
00:06:12.328 --> 00:06:13.763
Letting it be an excuse to not rise higher. you have to
00:06:13.830 --> 00:06:16.199
Not rise higher. you have to know like i did with my knee,
00:06:16.265 --> 00:06:18.234
Know like i did with my knee, you're going to run again.
00:06:18.301 --> 00:06:20.236
You're going to run again. you're injured now, but
00:06:20.303 --> 00:06:21.304
You're injured now, but healing is coming. that
00:06:21.370 --> 00:06:23.573
Healing is coming. that person walked out on you, but
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:25.208
Person walked out on you, but god has someone better on the
00:06:25.274 --> 00:06:26.843
God has someone better on the way. you're going to love
00:06:26.909 --> 00:06:28.010
Way. you're going to love again. or you had a setback
00:06:28.077 --> 00:06:30.513
Again. or you had a setback in your career, a door
00:06:30.580 --> 00:06:32.114
In your career, a door closed. god's about to open a
00:06:32.181 --> 00:06:34.116
Closed. god's about to open a better door. don't let that
00:06:34.183 --> 00:06:36.519
Better door. don't let that limp cause you to settle
00:06:36.586 --> 00:06:38.488
Limp cause you to settle where you are, give up on
00:06:38.554 --> 00:06:40.156
Where you are, give up on dreams, to where you start
00:06:40.223 --> 00:06:42.024
Dreams, to where you start accepting mediocrity,
00:06:42.091 --> 00:06:44.193
Accepting mediocrity, dysfunction, learning to live
00:06:44.260 --> 00:06:46.596
Dysfunction, learning to live with the anger, low
00:06:46.662 --> 00:06:47.830
With the anger, low self-esteem. that's not who
00:06:47.897 --> 00:06:49.966
Self-esteem. that's not who you are. that's a limp. it's
00:06:50.032 --> 00:06:52.001
You are. that's a limp. it's a temporary season. god
00:06:52.068 --> 00:06:54.370
A temporary season. god created you to be free,
00:06:54.437 --> 00:06:56.472
Created you to be free, healthy, confident,
00:06:56.539 --> 00:06:58.140
Healthy, confident, victorious.
00:06:58.207 --> 00:07:00.109
Victorious. i was on crutches, but it was
00:07:00.176 --> 00:07:02.011
I was on crutches, but it was only for three months. those
00:07:02.078 --> 00:07:04.146
Only for three months. those crutches were there for a
00:07:04.213 --> 00:07:05.314
Crutches were there for a season to help me get over
00:07:05.381 --> 00:07:07.316
Season to help me get over the injury. sometimes we get
00:07:07.383 --> 00:07:09.919
The injury. sometimes we get comfortable with the
00:07:09.986 --> 00:07:10.720
Comfortable with the crutches. we were raised with
00:07:10.786 --> 00:07:12.955
Crutches. we were raised with a limp. instead of realizing
00:07:13.022 --> 00:07:15.157
A limp. instead of realizing it's only temporary, we
00:07:15.224 --> 00:07:16.993
It's only temporary, we think, “i'll always have this
00:07:17.059 --> 00:07:18.327
Think, “i'll always have this temper. i'll always have to
00:07:18.394 --> 00:07:20.162
Temper. i'll always have to deal with this anxiety. i
00:07:20.229 --> 00:07:22.231
Deal with this anxiety. i can't accomplish my dreams; i
00:07:22.298 --> 00:07:24.100
Can't accomplish my dreams; i don't have the connections.”
00:07:24.166 --> 00:07:25.801
Don't have the connections.” god is saying, those crutches
00:07:25.868 --> 00:07:28.170
God is saying, those crutches are about to come off. what
00:07:28.237 --> 00:07:30.373
Are about to come off. what you've been using as an
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:31.507
You've been using as an excuse is not going to limit
00:07:31.574 --> 00:07:33.809
Excuse is not going to limit you anymore. chains are being
00:07:33.876 --> 00:07:35.678
You anymore. chains are being broken. strongholds are
00:07:35.745 --> 00:07:37.513
Broken. strongholds are coming down. you're about to
00:07:37.580 --> 00:07:39.248
Coming down. you're about to step up to who you were
00:07:39.315 --> 00:07:40.550
Step up to who you were created to be. now quit
00:07:40.616 --> 00:07:43.119
Created to be. now quit believing those lies that
00:07:43.185 --> 00:07:44.353
Believing those lies that you're stuck. you don't have
00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:46.088
You're stuck. you don't have the talent. you're the wrong
00:07:46.155 --> 00:07:47.423
The talent. you're the wrong nationality. you've made too
00:07:47.490 --> 00:07:49.125
Nationality. you've made too many mistakes. this is a new
00:07:49.191 --> 00:07:51.394
Many mistakes. this is a new day. god is about to turn
00:07:51.460 --> 00:07:53.596
Day. god is about to turn that limping into leaping.
00:07:53.663 --> 00:07:55.765
That limping into leaping. he's going to cause you to
00:07:55.831 --> 00:07:56.666
He's going to cause you to bloom, to blossom, greater
00:07:56.732 --> 00:07:59.035
Bloom, to blossom, greater confidence, greater
00:07:59.101 --> 00:08:00.436
Confidence, greater resources, greater influence.
00:08:00.503 --> 00:08:02.638
Resources, greater influence. in acts 3, there was a man
00:08:02.705 --> 00:08:05.808
In acts 3, there was a man who had been crippled since
00:08:05.875 --> 00:08:07.310
Who had been crippled since birth. everyday his family
00:08:07.376 --> 00:08:09.679
Birth. everyday his family would carry him to the temple
00:08:09.745 --> 00:08:11.514
Would carry him to the temple so he could beg for money.
00:08:11.581 --> 00:08:13.516
So he could beg for money. they would put him at the
00:08:13.583 --> 00:08:14.283
They would put him at the gate called beautiful. this
00:08:14.350 --> 00:08:16.485
Gate called beautiful. this man had been doing this for
00:08:16.552 --> 00:08:17.753
Man had been doing this for years. every morning, same
00:08:17.820 --> 00:08:19.755
Years. every morning, same thing, getting out of bed,
00:08:19.822 --> 00:08:22.158
Thing, getting out of bed, people helping him get
00:08:22.224 --> 00:08:23.025
People helping him get dressed, packing a lunch and
00:08:23.092 --> 00:08:24.927
Dressed, packing a lunch and then setting him at the same
00:08:24.994 --> 00:08:26.329
Then setting him at the same spot. when you've been in a
00:08:26.395 --> 00:08:28.397
Spot. when you've been in a limited situation for a long
00:08:28.464 --> 00:08:30.633
Limited situation for a long time, it can become normal.
00:08:30.700 --> 00:08:33.836
Time, it can become normal. i'm sure the man didn't like
00:08:33.903 --> 00:08:35.237
I'm sure the man didn't like to beg. he didn't like to be
00:08:35.304 --> 00:08:37.173
To beg. he didn't like to be looked down on and be at the
00:08:37.239 --> 00:08:38.674
Looked down on and be at the mercy of others, but he had
00:08:38.741 --> 00:08:40.876
Mercy of others, but he had accepted this was his lot in
00:08:40.943 --> 00:08:42.878
Accepted this was his lot in life. it wasn't his fault. he
00:08:42.945 --> 00:08:45.548
Life. it wasn't his fault. he was born crippled. if you've
00:08:45.615 --> 00:08:47.883
Was born crippled. if you've always been lame, you don't
00:08:47.950 --> 00:08:49.885
Always been lame, you don't expect to walk. if you've
00:08:49.952 --> 00:08:51.954
Expect to walk. if you've never felt good about
00:08:52.021 --> 00:08:53.155
Never felt good about yourself, always felt
00:08:53.222 --> 00:08:54.924
Yourself, always felt insecure, unattractive, not
00:08:54.991 --> 00:08:57.627
Insecure, unattractive, not worthy, even though it's not
00:08:57.693 --> 00:08:59.595
Worthy, even though it's not true, that becomes normal. if
00:08:59.662 --> 00:09:02.398
True, that becomes normal. if all you've seen is poverty,
00:09:02.465 --> 00:09:04.300
All you've seen is poverty, anger, addictions, you don't
00:09:04.367 --> 00:09:06.636
Anger, addictions, you don't expect to have abundance,
00:09:06.702 --> 00:09:08.270
Expect to have abundance, peace and freedom. when
00:09:08.337 --> 00:09:10.873
Peace and freedom. when people have always carried
00:09:10.940 --> 00:09:12.341
People have always carried you, like this man, and made
00:09:12.408 --> 00:09:14.443
You, like this man, and made accommodations for those
00:09:14.510 --> 00:09:15.878
Accommodations for those weaknesses, it can become who
00:09:15.945 --> 00:09:17.913
Weaknesses, it can become who you are, to where you accept.
00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:20.950
You are, to where you accept. “joel, it's not my fault, i
00:09:21.017 --> 00:09:22.752
“joel, it's not my fault, i was born with this
00:09:22.818 --> 00:09:23.686
Was born with this disadvantage. i can't be
00:09:23.753 --> 00:09:25.588
Disadvantage. i can't be successful; i have a limp. i
00:09:25.655 --> 00:09:28.591
Successful; i have a limp. i feel unworthy, because of how
00:09:28.658 --> 00:09:29.959
Feel unworthy, because of how i was raised. nobody made me
00:09:30.026 --> 00:09:31.827
I was raised. nobody made me feel valuable.” you may have
00:09:31.894 --> 00:09:34.196
Feel valuable.” you may have a valid explanation as to why
00:09:34.263 --> 00:09:36.399
A valid explanation as to why you are that way, but don't
00:09:36.465 --> 00:09:38.601
You are that way, but don't let it be an excuse to stay
00:09:38.668 --> 00:09:40.302
Let it be an excuse to stay that way. god came to take
00:09:40.369 --> 00:09:42.838
That way. god came to take off of you what the enemy put
00:09:42.905 --> 00:09:44.707
Off of you what the enemy put on you. there may be negative
00:09:44.774 --> 00:09:47.076
On you. there may be negative traits that you inherited,
00:09:47.143 --> 00:09:48.678
Traits that you inherited, things that were passed down
00:09:48.744 --> 00:09:50.079
Things that were passed down that have made it more
00:09:50.146 --> 00:09:50.880
That have made it more difficult, but god raised you
00:09:50.946 --> 00:09:53.482
Difficult, but god raised you up to break that negative
00:09:53.549 --> 00:09:55.051
Up to break that negative cycle. you're the one to set
00:09:55.117 --> 00:09:57.353
Cycle. you're the one to set a new standard. you wouldn't
00:09:57.420 --> 00:09:59.388
A new standard. you wouldn't be hearing this if god wasn't
00:09:59.455 --> 00:10:01.490
Be hearing this if god wasn't about to do a new thing.
00:10:01.557 --> 00:10:03.359
About to do a new thing. limping is not your destiny,
00:10:03.426 --> 00:10:05.628
Limping is not your destiny, addictions, low self-esteem,
00:10:05.695 --> 00:10:08.197
Addictions, low self-esteem, never able to get ahead,
00:10:08.264 --> 00:10:10.199
Never able to get ahead, that's not who you are. but
00:10:10.266 --> 00:10:12.234
That's not who you are. but as long as you're accepting
00:10:12.301 --> 00:10:13.803
As long as you're accepting it, you're giving it the
00:10:13.869 --> 00:10:15.237
It, you're giving it the right to stay. victory starts
00:10:15.304 --> 00:10:17.673
Right to stay. victory starts in our thinking. thoughts
00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:19.809
In our thinking. thoughts will whisper, “you'll always
00:10:19.875 --> 00:10:21.644
Will whisper, “you'll always have this crutch. you'll
00:10:21.711 --> 00:10:23.212
Have this crutch. you'll always struggle, always be
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:24.914
Always struggle, always be lonely, always have bad
00:10:24.980 --> 00:10:26.849
Lonely, always have bad breaks.” don't believe those
00:10:26.916 --> 00:10:28.651
Breaks.” don't believe those lies. the limp is only
00:10:28.718 --> 00:10:30.519
Lies. the limp is only temporary.
00:10:30.586 --> 00:10:32.188
Temporary. it's significant that this
00:10:32.254 --> 00:10:33.422
It's significant that this man was at a gate called
00:10:33.489 --> 00:10:35.758
Man was at a gate called beautiful. the fact is there
00:10:35.825 --> 00:10:38.561
Beautiful. the fact is there was nothing beautiful about
00:10:38.627 --> 00:10:39.829
Was nothing beautiful about his life. crippled, poor,
00:10:39.895 --> 00:10:42.565
His life. crippled, poor, having to beg. i'm sure he
00:10:42.631 --> 00:10:44.767
Having to beg. i'm sure he was discouraged, felt not
00:10:44.834 --> 00:10:47.036
Was discouraged, felt not valuable, nothing good in his
00:10:47.103 --> 00:10:48.771
Valuable, nothing good in his future. he could have been
00:10:48.838 --> 00:10:50.639
Future. he could have been placed at other gates, the
00:10:50.706 --> 00:10:52.475
Placed at other gates, the southwest gate, the freeway
00:10:52.541 --> 00:10:54.143
Southwest gate, the freeway gate, but every day he was
00:10:54.210 --> 00:10:56.679
Gate, but every day he was taken to this gate called
00:10:56.746 --> 00:10:58.547
Taken to this gate called beautiful. he didn't realize,
00:10:58.614 --> 00:11:01.317
Beautiful. he didn't realize, god was prophesying his
00:11:01.383 --> 00:11:02.918
God was prophesying his future. everything looked
00:11:02.985 --> 00:11:05.221
Future. everything looked ugly in his life, but god was
00:11:05.287 --> 00:11:07.223
Ugly in his life, but god was saying, “something beautiful
00:11:07.289 --> 00:11:08.691
Saying, “something beautiful is coming. i have beauty for
00:11:08.758 --> 00:11:10.526
Is coming. i have beauty for the ashes, joy for the
00:11:10.593 --> 00:11:12.428
The ashes, joy for the morning, healing for the
00:11:12.495 --> 00:11:14.196
Morning, healing for the sickness, new beginnings for
00:11:14.263 --> 00:11:16.432
Sickness, new beginnings for the loss.”
00:11:16.499 --> 00:11:18.067
The loss.” you may be in an ugly
00:11:18.134 --> 00:11:19.502
You may be in an ugly situation, dealing with an
00:11:19.568 --> 00:11:21.637
Situation, dealing with an illness, a child off course,
00:11:21.704 --> 00:11:24.240
Illness, a child off course, fighting an addiction. like
00:11:24.306 --> 00:11:26.475
Fighting an addiction. like this man, you're getting up
00:11:26.542 --> 00:11:28.110
This man, you're getting up each day, making the most of
00:11:28.177 --> 00:11:30.279
Each day, making the most of a difficult situation. going

A difficult situation. going to work, being good to
00:11:32.448 --> 00:11:34.083
To work, being good to people, keeping that song of
00:11:34.150 --> 00:11:35.718
People, keeping that song of praise, but nothing is
00:11:35.785 --> 00:11:37.486
Praise, but nothing is changing. it's the same thing
00:11:37.553 --> 00:11:39.555
Changing. it's the same thing month after month. what you
00:11:39.622 --> 00:11:41.323
Month after month. what you can't see is you're at a gate
00:11:41.390 --> 00:11:43.893
Can't see is you're at a gate called beautiful. god has
00:11:43.959 --> 00:11:45.928
Called beautiful. god has positioned you in his divine
00:11:45.995 --> 00:11:48.130
Positioned you in his divine destiny. he's prophesying
00:11:48.197 --> 00:11:50.199
Destiny. he's prophesying over you, things are not only
00:11:50.266 --> 00:11:52.234
Over you, things are not only about to change, but it's
00:11:52.301 --> 00:11:54.036
About to change, but it's going to be better than
00:11:54.103 --> 00:11:54.970
Going to be better than you've imagined. you're going
00:11:55.037 --> 00:11:56.238
You've imagined. you're going to come into a beautiful
00:11:56.305 --> 00:11:57.640
To come into a beautiful place, abundance, healing,
00:11:57.706 --> 00:12:00.476
Place, abundance, healing, joy, laughter. not just
00:12:00.543 --> 00:12:02.478
Joy, laughter. not just coming out, not just making
00:12:02.545 --> 00:12:04.547
Coming out, not just making it through, but god exceeding
00:12:04.613 --> 00:12:06.515
It through, but god exceeding your expectations. don't let
00:12:06.582 --> 00:12:09.385
Your expectations. don't let the ugliness of what you're
00:12:09.451 --> 00:12:10.753
The ugliness of what you're going through fool you. god
00:12:10.820 --> 00:12:12.721
Going through fool you. god is still on the throne. he
00:12:12.788 --> 00:12:14.523
Is still on the throne. he said weeping may endure for a
00:12:14.590 --> 00:12:16.292
Said weeping may endure for a night, but joy is coming in
00:12:16.358 --> 00:12:18.194
Night, but joy is coming in the morning. another way to
00:12:18.260 --> 00:12:20.162
The morning. another way to say it is limping may endure
00:12:20.229 --> 00:12:22.598
Say it is limping may endure for a season, but leaping is
00:12:22.665 --> 00:12:24.800
For a season, but leaping is on the way. it may be ugly
00:12:24.867 --> 00:12:27.102
On the way. it may be ugly now, but you're at the gate
00:12:27.169 --> 00:12:29.038
Now, but you're at the gate beautiful. ecclesiastes says,
00:12:29.104 --> 00:12:31.640
Beautiful. ecclesiastes says, “god will make all things
00:12:31.707 --> 00:12:33.475
“god will make all things beautiful in its time.”
00:12:33.542 --> 00:12:35.911
Beautiful in its time.” one day peter and john were
00:12:35.978 --> 00:12:37.346
One day peter and john were going to the temple at three
00:12:37.413 --> 00:12:39.048
Going to the temple at three o'clock in the afternoon for
00:12:39.114 --> 00:12:40.349
O'clock in the afternoon for the daily prayer service. as
00:12:40.416 --> 00:12:42.852
The daily prayer service. as they were about to enter,
00:12:42.918 --> 00:12:44.386
They were about to enter, they saw this man. verse 5
00:12:44.453 --> 00:12:46.589
They saw this man. verse 5 says, “the lame man looked at
00:12:46.655 --> 00:12:48.958
Says, “the lame man looked at them eagerly expecting a
00:12:49.024 --> 00:12:51.393
Them eagerly expecting a gift.” he'd been passed by
00:12:51.460 --> 00:12:54.263
Gift.” he'd been passed by hundreds of people that day
00:12:54.330 --> 00:12:55.831
Hundreds of people that day going into the temple,
00:12:55.898 --> 00:12:57.366
Going into the temple, everyone said no, ignored
00:12:57.433 --> 00:12:59.301
Everyone said no, ignored him. but god ordained peter
00:12:59.368 --> 00:13:02.071
Him. but god ordained peter and john to notice this man.
00:13:02.137 --> 00:13:05.274
And john to notice this man. there are seasons where
00:13:05.341 --> 00:13:06.342
There are seasons where you're being overlooked,
00:13:06.408 --> 00:13:08.077
You're being overlooked, nothing is changing, but god
00:13:08.143 --> 00:13:10.412
Nothing is changing, but god has already lined up the
00:13:10.479 --> 00:13:11.780
Has already lined up the right people to notice you.
00:13:11.847 --> 00:13:14.483
Right people to notice you. don't worry about those who
00:13:14.550 --> 00:13:15.651
Don't worry about those who pass you by, don't give you
00:13:15.718 --> 00:13:17.119
Pass you by, don't give you the time of day. god has
00:13:17.186 --> 00:13:18.954
The time of day. god has divine connections in route.
00:13:19.021 --> 00:13:21.724
Divine connections in route. your time to be noticed is
00:13:21.790 --> 00:13:23.325
Your time to be noticed is coming. peter said to the
00:13:23.392 --> 00:13:25.427
Coming. peter said to the man, “i don't have any silver
00:13:25.494 --> 00:13:27.396
Man, “i don't have any silver or gold, but i have something
00:13:27.463 --> 00:13:29.398
Or gold, but i have something better, in the name of jesus'
00:13:29.465 --> 00:13:31.433
Better, in the name of jesus' rise and walk.” i'm sure the
00:13:31.500 --> 00:13:34.236
Rise and walk.” i'm sure the man thought, “i'd love to but
00:13:34.303 --> 00:13:36.205
Man thought, “i'd love to but i'm crippled. i've been lame
00:13:36.272 --> 00:13:38.107
I'm crippled. i've been lame since birth. i'll always have
00:13:38.173 --> 00:13:40.109
Since birth. i'll always have these crutches.” peter saw he
00:13:40.175 --> 00:13:42.311
These crutches.” peter saw he wasn't moving, so he grabbed
00:13:42.378 --> 00:13:44.046
Wasn't moving, so he grabbed him by the hand and pulled
00:13:44.113 --> 00:13:45.514
Him by the hand and pulled the man up. when he did,
00:13:45.581 --> 00:13:47.650
The man up. when he did, strength went into his legs.
00:13:47.716 --> 00:13:49.585
Strength went into his legs. instantly the man was healed.
00:13:49.652 --> 00:13:51.387
Instantly the man was healed. the scripture says, “he went
00:13:51.453 --> 00:13:52.521
The scripture says, “he went walking and leaping and
00:13:52.588 --> 00:13:54.957
Walking and leaping and praising god.”
00:13:55.024 --> 00:13:56.892
Praising god.” god knows how to take you
00:13:56.959 --> 00:13:58.193
God knows how to take you from limping to leaping. he's
00:13:58.260 --> 00:14:01.030
From limping to leaping. he's a supernatural god. one touch
00:14:01.096 --> 00:14:03.565
A supernatural god. one touch of his favor and what looks
00:14:03.632 --> 00:14:05.301
Of his favor and what looks impossible, becomes possible.
00:14:05.367 --> 00:14:08.070
Impossible, becomes possible. one sling shot and a giant
00:14:08.137 --> 00:14:09.905
One sling shot and a giant comes down. one phone call
00:14:09.972 --> 00:14:12.041
Comes down. one phone call and the compaq center opened
00:14:12.107 --> 00:14:13.442
And the compaq center opened up. one good break and you're
00:14:13.509 --> 00:14:15.477
Up. one good break and you're thrust into your destiny.
00:14:15.544 --> 00:14:18.113
Thrust into your destiny. some of these limitations
00:14:18.180 --> 00:14:20.049
Some of these limitations that have been with us since
00:14:20.115 --> 00:14:21.250
That have been with us since birth, low self-esteem,
00:14:21.317 --> 00:14:23.485
Birth, low self-esteem, anger, depression. we've
00:14:23.552 --> 00:14:25.587
Anger, depression. we've learned to live with it,
00:14:25.654 --> 00:14:27.289
Learned to live with it, accepted it as who we are,
00:14:27.356 --> 00:14:29.758
Accepted it as who we are, like god did for this man,
00:14:29.825 --> 00:14:31.961
Like god did for this man, he's about to turn around
00:14:32.027 --> 00:14:33.595
He's about to turn around what looks permanent. he's
00:14:33.662 --> 00:14:35.431
What looks permanent. he's about to reverse a curse,
00:14:35.497 --> 00:14:37.666
About to reverse a curse, free you from things that you
00:14:37.733 --> 00:14:39.101
Free you from things that you thought you'd always struggle
00:14:39.168 --> 00:14:40.502
Thought you'd always struggle with. no more limping. no
00:14:40.569 --> 00:14:42.905
With. no more limping. no more can't get ahead; you
00:14:42.972 --> 00:14:44.707
More can't get ahead; you stepped into abundance. no
00:14:44.773 --> 00:14:46.942
Stepped into abundance. no more feeling unworthy, you
00:14:47.009 --> 00:14:48.711
More feeling unworthy, you put your shoulders back. you
00:14:48.777 --> 00:14:50.479
Put your shoulders back. you know you're a masterpiece,
00:14:50.546 --> 00:14:51.981
Know you're a masterpiece, made in the image of god. no
00:14:52.047 --> 00:14:54.650
Made in the image of god. no more lonely, everyone else
00:14:54.717 --> 00:14:56.752
More lonely, everyone else getting married, a divine
00:14:56.819 --> 00:14:58.487
Getting married, a divine connection, someone better
00:14:58.554 --> 00:15:00.289
Connection, someone better than you imagined. no more
00:15:00.356 --> 00:15:02.691
Than you imagined. no more being looked over, not
00:15:02.758 --> 00:15:04.426
Being looked over, not getting the credit. god's
00:15:04.493 --> 00:15:06.128
Getting the credit. god's going to take you from the
00:15:06.195 --> 00:15:06.962
Going to take you from the background to the foreground.
00:15:07.029 --> 00:15:08.864
Background to the foreground. from being left out to being
00:15:08.931 --> 00:15:10.632
From being left out to being in charge.
00:15:10.699 --> 00:15:12.468
In charge. this man went walking and
00:15:12.534 --> 00:15:14.203
This man went walking and leaping. if he'd just been
00:15:14.269 --> 00:15:16.472
Leaping. if he'd just been able to walk that would have
00:15:16.538 --> 00:15:18.107
Able to walk that would have been a great miracle, lame
00:15:18.173 --> 00:15:19.475
Been a great miracle, lame since his birth. we'd all be
00:15:19.541 --> 00:15:21.477
Since his birth. we'd all be shouting about that. but
00:15:21.543 --> 00:15:23.512
Shouting about that. but notice how god does it. not
00:15:23.579 --> 00:15:25.781
Notice how god does it. not just walking but leaping,
00:15:25.848 --> 00:15:28.317
Just walking but leaping, running, jumping. god knows
00:15:28.384 --> 00:15:30.753
Running, jumping. god knows how to exceed your
00:15:30.819 --> 00:15:32.187
How to exceed your expectations. you'd be happy
00:15:32.254 --> 00:15:34.623
Expectations. you'd be happy to just see your child get
00:15:34.690 --> 00:15:35.724
To just see your child get back on course, but god's
00:15:35.791 --> 00:15:37.693
Back on course, but god's going to cause him to become
00:15:37.760 --> 00:15:38.994
Going to cause him to become a leader, a person of honor,
00:15:39.061 --> 00:15:41.397
A leader, a person of honor, esteemed, doing great things.
00:15:41.463 --> 00:15:44.833
Esteemed, doing great things. you'd be happy if you could
00:15:44.900 --> 00:15:45.801
You'd be happy if you could just pay your bills, get
00:15:45.868 --> 00:15:47.469
Just pay your bills, get through a slow season, but
00:15:47.536 --> 00:15:49.438
Through a slow season, but god has abundance coming,
00:15:49.505 --> 00:15:51.440
God has abundance coming, overflow, where you lend and
00:15:51.507 --> 00:15:53.742
Overflow, where you lend and not borrow, blessed in such a
00:15:53.809 --> 00:15:56.278
Not borrow, blessed in such a way you can be a blessing to
00:15:56.345 --> 00:15:58.280
Way you can be a blessing to others. maybe you've
00:15:58.347 --> 00:16:00.282
Others. maybe you've struggled with an addiction.
00:16:00.349 --> 00:16:02.151
Struggled with an addiction. you've tried to get free but
00:16:02.217 --> 00:16:03.786
You've tried to get free but no success. now you're just
00:16:03.852 --> 00:16:05.921
No success. now you're just functioning in the
00:16:05.988 --> 00:16:07.122
Functioning in the dysfunction. that's not how
00:16:07.189 --> 00:16:09.124
Dysfunction. that's not how your story ends. freedom is
00:16:09.191 --> 00:16:10.926
Your story ends. freedom is coming, wholeness is coming.
00:16:10.993 --> 00:16:13.395
Coming, wholeness is coming. where it's not a struggle
00:16:13.462 --> 00:16:14.596
Where it's not a struggle anymore. you're going to be
00:16:14.663 --> 00:16:16.231
Anymore. you're going to be unquestionably free, so you
00:16:16.298 --> 00:16:18.801
Unquestionably free, so you can help others get free. not
00:16:18.867 --> 00:16:21.270
Can help others get free. not limping to just walking.
00:16:21.336 --> 00:16:23.072
Limping to just walking. god's way is limping to
00:16:23.138 --> 00:16:24.673
God's way is limping to leaping.
00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:25.340
Leaping. now every thought will tell
00:16:25.407 --> 00:16:27.276
Now every thought will tell you, “this is not for you.
00:16:27.342 --> 00:16:29.344
You, “this is not for you. you've always had this
00:16:29.411 --> 00:16:30.345
You've always had this limitation, this
00:16:30.412 --> 00:16:31.947
Limitation, this disadvantage.” the enemy
00:16:32.014 --> 00:16:34.283
Disadvantage.” the enemy doesn't want you to hear this
00:16:34.349 --> 00:16:35.918
Doesn't want you to hear this today. he wants us to have a
00:16:35.984 --> 00:16:37.920
Today. he wants us to have a defeated, limited, poor old
00:16:37.986 --> 00:16:40.589
Defeated, limited, poor old me mentality. tune all that
00:16:40.656 --> 00:16:42.724
Me mentality. tune all that out. god is working in your
00:16:42.791 --> 00:16:44.927
Out. god is working in your life right now. he's about to
00:16:44.993 --> 00:16:46.995
Life right now. he's about to do for you what he did for
00:16:47.062 --> 00:16:48.730
Do for you what he did for this man. receive this into
00:16:48.797 --> 00:16:51.233
This man. receive this into your spirit. take you from
00:16:51.300 --> 00:16:52.835
Your spirit. take you from struggle to abundance, from
00:16:52.901 --> 00:16:55.437
Struggle to abundance, from brokenness to wholeness, from
00:16:55.504 --> 00:16:58.006
Brokenness to wholeness, from sickness to health, from
00:16:58.073 --> 00:17:00.075
Sickness to health, from insecurity to confidence,
00:17:00.142 --> 00:17:02.444
Insecurity to confidence, from mediocrity to success,
00:17:02.511 --> 00:17:05.047
From mediocrity to success, from loneliness to great
00:17:05.114 --> 00:17:06.715
From loneliness to great relationships, from no good
00:17:06.782 --> 00:17:08.750
Relationships, from no good breaks to blessings chasing
00:17:08.817 --> 00:17:10.686
Breaks to blessings chasing you down.
00:17:10.752 --> 00:17:12.354
You down. when this man saw peter and
00:17:12.421 --> 00:17:14.156
When this man saw peter and john there was an expectancy.
00:17:14.223 --> 00:17:17.593
John there was an expectancy. something on the inside said,
00:17:17.659 --> 00:17:19.428
Something on the inside said, “this is a new day. this is a
00:17:19.495 --> 00:17:21.230
“this is a new day. this is a destiny moment.” the
00:17:21.296 --> 00:17:23.165
Destiny moment.” the expectancy is your faith
00:17:23.232 --> 00:17:25.167
Expectancy is your faith being released. when i went
00:17:25.234 --> 00:17:27.202
Being released. when i went to the gym on crutches, when
00:17:27.269 --> 00:17:29.171
To the gym on crutches, when my knee was injured, i was
00:17:29.238 --> 00:17:30.839
My knee was injured, i was expecting to be back on the
00:17:30.906 --> 00:17:32.541
Expecting to be back on the court. sometimes we have a
00:17:32.608 --> 00:17:35.277
Court. sometimes we have a disappointment, or we've been
00:17:35.344 --> 00:17:37.212
Disappointment, or we've been born into limitations and
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:39.314
Born into limitations and there's no expectancy for
00:17:39.381 --> 00:17:41.116
There's no expectancy for things to improve. we're
00:17:41.183 --> 00:17:43.118
Things to improve. we're satisfied with less than what
00:17:43.185 --> 00:17:45.154
Satisfied with less than what we were created for. “joel,
00:17:45.220 --> 00:17:47.689
We were created for. “joel, if my parents hadn't told me
00:17:47.756 --> 00:17:49.291
If my parents hadn't told me that i was never going to
00:17:49.358 --> 00:17:49.992
That i was never going to amount to anything, then
00:17:50.058 --> 00:17:51.760
Amount to anything, then maybe i'd have a good
00:17:51.827 --> 00:17:52.728
Maybe i'd have a good self-image. if my business
00:17:52.794 --> 00:17:54.796
Self-image. if my business partner hadn't of ruined me
00:17:54.863 --> 00:17:56.465
Partner hadn't of ruined me and cheated my credit, then i
00:17:56.532 --> 00:17:57.733
And cheated my credit, then i would believe for more.”
00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:59.568
Would believe for more.” that's your explanation as to
00:17:59.635 --> 00:18:01.803
That's your explanation as to why you are that way, what
00:18:01.870 --> 00:18:03.772
Why you are that way, what i'm saying, is don't use it
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:05.741
I'm saying, is don't use it as an excuse to stay that
00:18:05.807 --> 00:18:07.509
As an excuse to stay that way. god is still on the
00:18:07.576 --> 00:18:09.511
Way. god is still on the throne. he's fighting your
00:18:09.578 --> 00:18:11.346
Throne. he's fighting your battles. he has amazing
00:18:11.413 --> 00:18:13.282
Battles. he has amazing things in your future.
00:18:13.348 --> 00:18:15.284
Things in your future. i know
00:18:15.350 --> 00:18:15.918
I know sometimes we're limping
00:18:15.984 --> 00:18:17.252
Sometimes we're limping because we made mistakes.
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.421
Because we made mistakes. thoughts will tell you,
00:18:19.488 --> 00:18:21.023
Thoughts will tell you, “joel's not talking about you
00:18:21.089 --> 00:18:22.357
“joel's not talking about you today. you brought this
00:18:22.424 --> 00:18:23.792
Today. you brought this trouble on yourself. you
00:18:23.859 --> 00:18:25.627
Trouble on yourself. you chose to compromise, you
00:18:25.694 --> 00:18:27.229
Chose to compromise, you weren't faithful.” god knew
00:18:27.296 --> 00:18:29.665
Weren't faithful.” god knew every mistake you would ever
00:18:29.731 --> 00:18:30.933
Every mistake you would ever make, every failure. he is
00:18:30.999 --> 00:18:33.602
Make, every failure. he is full of mercy. he's not
00:18:33.669 --> 00:18:35.771
Full of mercy. he's not holding your mistakes against
00:18:35.837 --> 00:18:37.573
Holding your mistakes against you. he's not going to keep
00:18:37.639 --> 00:18:39.341
You. he's not going to keep you limping because you knew
00:18:39.408 --> 00:18:41.009
You limping because you knew better. healing is coming.
00:18:41.076 --> 00:18:43.278
Better. healing is coming. restoration is coming.
00:18:43.345 --> 00:18:45.714
Restoration is coming. “joel, you don't know my
00:18:45.781 --> 00:18:46.715
“joel, you don't know my situation. i've been this way
00:18:46.782 --> 00:18:48.884
Situation. i've been this way a long time.” think about how
00:18:48.951 --> 00:18:51.353
A long time.” think about how long this man, had been at
00:18:51.420 --> 00:18:52.888
Long this man, had been at that same spot. some
00:18:52.955 --> 00:18:54.356
That same spot. some commentaries say he had been
00:18:54.423 --> 00:18:55.624
Commentaries say he had been there for forty years.
00:18:55.691 --> 00:18:57.993
There for forty years. everything said to him, “this
00:18:58.060 --> 00:18:59.628
Everything said to him, “this is the way it's always going
00:18:59.695 --> 00:19:00.596
Is the way it's always going to be. don't get your hopes
00:19:00.662 --> 00:19:02.197
To be. don't get your hopes up.” one reason this story is
00:19:02.264 --> 00:19:04.833
Up.” one reason this story is in the scripture is so we
00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:06.835
In the scripture is so we would know that no matter how
00:19:06.902 --> 00:19:08.303
Would know that no matter how long you've been limping and
00:19:08.370 --> 00:19:10.439
Long you've been limping and no matter how impossible it
00:19:10.505 --> 00:19:12.274
No matter how impossible it looks, it's not too late for
00:19:12.341 --> 00:19:14.643
Looks, it's not too late for god to turn it around.
00:19:14.710 --> 00:19:16.445
God to turn it around. limping is not your destiny;
00:19:16.511 --> 00:19:18.780
Limping is not your destiny; leaping is your destiny.
00:19:18.847 --> 00:19:21.516
Leaping is your destiny. watching people go in the
00:19:21.583 --> 00:19:22.918
Watching people go in the beautiful gate, accomplish
00:19:22.985 --> 00:19:25.153
Beautiful gate, accomplish their dreams and never going
00:19:25.220 --> 00:19:27.356
Their dreams and never going in yourself is not what god
00:19:27.422 --> 00:19:29.758
In yourself is not what god has purposed for you. there
00:19:29.825 --> 00:19:31.994
Has purposed for you. there are amazing things in your
00:19:32.060 --> 00:19:33.962
Are amazing things in your future. the limp didn't stop
00:19:34.029 --> 00:19:36.365
Future. the limp didn't stop it. how you were raised
00:19:36.431 --> 00:19:38.066
It. how you were raised didn't stop it. mistakes
00:19:38.133 --> 00:19:39.835
Didn't stop it. mistakes you've made didn't stop it.
00:19:39.901 --> 00:19:42.237
You've made didn't stop it. you may have some crutches
00:19:42.304 --> 00:19:43.505
You may have some crutches now. you're dealing with an
00:19:43.572 --> 00:19:45.007
Now. you're dealing with an injury. the good news is god
00:19:45.073 --> 00:19:47.476
Injury. the good news is god knows how to heal broken
00:19:47.542 --> 00:19:48.910
Knows how to heal broken hearts, how to turn mourning
00:19:48.977 --> 00:19:51.079
Hearts, how to turn mourning into dancing, how to take the
00:19:51.146 --> 00:19:52.948
Into dancing, how to take the loss and give you a new
00:19:53.015 --> 00:19:54.349
Loss and give you a new beginning. not just bring you
00:19:54.416 --> 00:19:56.485
Beginning. not just bring you back to normal, where you're
00:19:56.551 --> 00:19:57.953
Back to normal, where you're okay, but turn the limping
00:19:58.020 --> 00:20:00.188
Okay, but turn the limping into leaping, more than you
00:20:00.255 --> 00:20:01.923
Into leaping, more than you can imagine.
00:20:01.990 --> 00:20:03.759
Can imagine. there was a young boy born in
00:20:03.825 --> 00:20:05.727
There was a young boy born in a very rough environment to a
00:20:05.794 --> 00:20:07.763
A very rough environment to a teenage mother. she had a lot
00:20:07.829 --> 00:20:09.731
Teenage mother. she had a lot of addictions and had been
00:20:09.798 --> 00:20:11.300
Of addictions and had been through abuse, dysfunction.
00:20:11.366 --> 00:20:13.201
Through abuse, dysfunction. at five years old, the mother
00:20:13.268 --> 00:20:15.604
At five years old, the mother took him and his baby sister
00:20:15.671 --> 00:20:17.572
Took him and his baby sister into town. she said she
00:20:17.639 --> 00:20:19.441
Into town. she said she needed to run to the
00:20:19.508 --> 00:20:20.242
Needed to run to the restroom, and never came
00:20:20.309 --> 00:20:22.077
Restroom, and never came back. she abandoned them in
00:20:22.144 --> 00:20:24.112
Back. she abandoned them in the city square. they were
00:20:24.179 --> 00:20:25.914
The city square. they were taken to foster care. the
00:20:25.981 --> 00:20:28.050
Taken to foster care. the young boy was so traumatized,
00:20:28.116 --> 00:20:30.352
Young boy was so traumatized, he became very angry and
00:20:30.419 --> 00:20:31.953
He became very angry and insecure. at the age of
00:20:32.020 --> 00:20:33.955
Insecure. at the age of eleven, he ran away from home
00:20:34.022 --> 00:20:35.824
Eleven, he ran away from home and started living on the
00:20:35.891 --> 00:20:36.992
And started living on the streets. he was bitter toward
00:20:37.059 --> 00:20:39.127
Streets. he was bitter toward his mother and even bitter
00:20:39.194 --> 00:20:40.929
His mother and even bitter toward god. he got involved
00:20:40.996 --> 00:20:43.165
Toward god. he got involved in gangs and started
00:20:43.231 --> 00:20:44.433
In gangs and started stealing. his life was
00:20:44.499 --> 00:20:46.034
Stealing. his life was spiraling out of control. he
00:20:46.101 --> 00:20:48.236
Spiraling out of control. he had a good explanation as to
00:20:48.303 --> 00:20:50.172
Had a good explanation as to why he was that way.
00:20:50.238 --> 00:20:52.040
Why he was that way. abandoned as a child, that's
00:20:52.107 --> 00:20:53.508
Abandoned as a child, that's not right, but you can't use
00:20:53.575 --> 00:20:55.877
Not right, but you can't use it as an excuse to stay that
00:20:55.944 --> 00:20:57.713
It as an excuse to stay that way.
00:20:57.779 --> 00:20:58.714
Way. one day there was a minister
00:20:58.780 --> 00:20:59.948
One day there was a minister coming through town, he was
00:21:00.015 --> 00:21:01.683
Coming through town, he was having an outdoor meeting.
00:21:01.750 --> 00:21:03.852
Having an outdoor meeting. this young man was going to
00:21:03.919 --> 00:21:05.087
This young man was going to go to disrupt it, just cause
00:21:05.153 --> 00:21:07.322
Go to disrupt it, just cause trouble. he brought some
00:21:07.389 --> 00:21:09.124
Trouble. he brought some fireworks and other gang
00:21:09.191 --> 00:21:10.926
Fireworks and other gang members. as he stood in the
00:21:10.992 --> 00:21:13.161
Members. as he stood in the back, waiting for the right
00:21:13.228 --> 00:21:14.930
Back, waiting for the right time, he began to feel this
00:21:14.996 --> 00:21:17.232
Time, he began to feel this love that he had never felt
00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:19.067
Love that he had never felt before. he was captivated by
00:21:19.134 --> 00:21:21.837
Before. he was captivated by what the minister was saying.
00:21:21.903 --> 00:21:24.039
What the minister was saying. these chains of bitterness,
00:21:24.106 --> 00:21:26.074
These chains of bitterness, anger and unworthiness began
00:21:26.141 --> 00:21:28.310
Anger and unworthiness began to break off of him. that
00:21:28.377 --> 00:21:30.479
To break off of him. that night, instead of disrupting
00:21:30.545 --> 00:21:32.114
Night, instead of disrupting the event, he walked down and
00:21:32.180 --> 00:21:34.249
The event, he walked down and gave his life to christ, a
00:21:34.316 --> 00:21:35.884
Gave his life to christ, a destiny moment. he went on to
00:21:35.951 --> 00:21:39.621
Destiny moment. he went on to become a great minister. he
00:21:39.688 --> 00:21:41.590
Become a great minister. he traveled the country and
00:21:41.656 --> 00:21:43.158
Traveled the country and shared his story of how god
00:21:43.225 --> 00:21:44.793
Shared his story of how god can turn any situation
00:21:44.860 --> 00:21:46.061
Can turn any situation around. years later, one
00:21:46.128 --> 00:21:49.064
Around. years later, one night at the end of his
00:21:49.131 --> 00:21:50.265
Night at the end of his service, he invited people to
00:21:50.332 --> 00:21:52.434
Service, he invited people to the front to receive christ
00:21:52.501 --> 00:21:54.770
The front to receive christ just as he did as a young
00:21:54.836 --> 00:21:56.238
Just as he did as a young man. there was an older woman
00:21:56.304 --> 00:21:58.807
Man. there was an older woman that came down and prayed the
00:21:58.874 --> 00:22:00.275
That came down and prayed the prayer. he looked over at her
00:22:00.342 --> 00:22:02.210
Prayer. he looked over at her and suddenly realized, it was
00:22:02.277 --> 00:22:04.279
And suddenly realized, it was his mother. he hadn't seen
00:22:04.346 --> 00:22:06.348
His mother. he hadn't seen her in over sixty years,
00:22:06.415 --> 00:22:08.450
Her in over sixty years, since that day she had
00:22:08.517 --> 00:22:09.584
Since that day she had abandoned him, but there she
00:22:09.651 --> 00:22:11.520
Abandoned him, but there she was receiving a new
00:22:11.586 --> 00:22:13.121
Was receiving a new beginning. god knows how to
00:22:13.188 --> 00:22:15.690
Beginning. god knows how to make all things beautiful in
00:22:15.757 --> 00:22:17.626
Make all things beautiful in its time. even things we
00:22:17.692 --> 00:22:19.327
Its time. even things we think are too far out. you
00:22:19.394 --> 00:22:21.196
Think are too far out. you don't know what god is up to.
00:22:21.263 --> 00:22:23.532
Don't know what god is up to. are you limping today? like
00:22:23.598 --> 00:22:25.634
Are you limping today? like this young man, dealing with
00:22:25.700 --> 00:22:27.102
This young man, dealing with things that were passed down.
00:22:27.169 --> 00:22:28.804
Things that were passed down. no fault of your own. or
00:22:28.870 --> 00:22:30.839
No fault of your own. or perhaps a disappointment,
00:22:30.906 --> 00:22:32.841
Perhaps a disappointment, mistakes you've made. that's
00:22:32.908 --> 00:22:34.609
Mistakes you've made. that's okay. there's no shame in
00:22:34.676 --> 00:22:36.711
Okay. there's no shame in having a limp. life happens
00:22:36.778 --> 00:22:38.914
Having a limp. life happens to us all. what i'm saying is
00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:41.316
To us all. what i'm saying is the limp is not permanent.
00:22:41.383 --> 00:22:43.718
The limp is not permanent. you're not going to need
00:22:43.785 --> 00:22:44.719
You're not going to need those crutches your whole
00:22:44.786 --> 00:22:46.121
Those crutches your whole life. someone may be carrying
00:22:46.188 --> 00:22:47.989
Life. someone may be carrying you now, but you're coming to
00:22:48.056 --> 00:22:49.624
You now, but you're coming to a point where you're not
00:22:49.691 --> 00:22:50.959
A point where you're not going to need to be carried.
00:22:51.026 --> 00:22:52.861
Going to need to be carried. from dependence to
00:22:52.928 --> 00:22:54.463
From dependence to independence. god created you
00:22:54.529 --> 00:22:56.798
Independence. god created you to be free. he sees you like
00:22:56.865 --> 00:22:59.301
To be free. he sees you like the man going to the temple
00:22:59.367 --> 00:23:01.002
The man going to the temple each day, making the most of
00:23:01.069 --> 00:23:03.205
Each day, making the most of a difficult situation, being
00:23:03.271 --> 00:23:05.540
A difficult situation, being your best despite the limp.
00:23:05.607 --> 00:23:08.143
Your best despite the limp. you've watched others go in
00:23:08.210 --> 00:23:09.478
You've watched others go in the gate, celebrated them
00:23:09.544 --> 00:23:11.513
The gate, celebrated them doing great things. your time
00:23:11.580 --> 00:23:13.915
Doing great things. your time is coming. you're not just at
00:23:13.982 --> 00:23:16.084
Is coming. you're not just at any gate, you're at the gate
00:23:16.151 --> 00:23:18.053
Any gate, you're at the gate called beautiful. that's the
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:19.955
Called beautiful. that's the prophecy god has spoken over
00:23:20.021 --> 00:23:21.923
Prophecy god has spoken over your life. he's going to take
00:23:21.990 --> 00:23:23.592
Your life. he's going to take that ugly situation and make
00:23:23.658 --> 00:23:25.827
That ugly situation and make something beautiful out of it.
00:23:25.894 --> 00:23:28.263
Something beautiful out of it. it's interesting how peter
00:23:28.330 --> 00:23:29.531
It's interesting how peter told the crippled man to rise
00:23:29.598 --> 00:23:30.999
Told the crippled man to rise and walk but he couldn't get
00:23:31.066 --> 00:23:32.567
And walk but he couldn't get up by himself. so, peter took
00:23:32.634 --> 00:23:34.703
