I like to start with something funny. one day up
00:00:28.318 --> 00:00:30.220
Something funny. one day up in heaven, satan and jesus
00:00:30.286 --> 00:00:32.555
In heaven, satan and jesus were having a contest to see
00:00:32.622 --> 00:00:34.757
Were having a contest to see who was better with
00:00:34.824 --> 00:00:35.625
Who was better with computers. after six hours of
00:00:35.692 --> 00:00:38.061
Computers. after six hours of making spreadsheets and
00:00:38.128 --> 00:00:39.395
Making spreadsheets and designing web pages, a
00:00:39.462 --> 00:00:41.064
Designing web pages, a thunderstorm knocked the
00:00:41.131 --> 00:00:42.198
Thunderstorm knocked the power out. when they rebooted
00:00:42.265 --> 00:00:44.300
Power out. when they rebooted their computers, satan
00:00:44.367 --> 00:00:45.902
Their computers, satan started screaming, “it's all
00:00:45.969 --> 00:00:47.871
Started screaming, “it's all lost. all my material is
00:00:47.937 --> 00:00:49.339
Lost. all my material is gone.” while jesus quietly
00:00:49.405 --> 00:00:51.574
Gone.” while jesus quietly walked over and printed his
00:00:51.641 --> 00:00:52.976
Walked over and printed his out, turned it in. satan
00:00:53.042 --> 00:00:55.078
Out, turned it in. satan complained, “it's not fair.
00:00:55.145 --> 00:00:56.746
Complained, “it's not fair. he must have cheated. how
00:00:56.813 --> 00:00:58.148
He must have cheated. how come he didn't lose his
00:00:58.214 --> 00:00:59.149
Come he didn't lose his material?” god smiled and
00:00:59.215 --> 00:01:01.151
Material?” god smiled and said, “jesus saves.”
00:01:01.217 --> 00:01:04.420
Said, “jesus saves.” say it like you mean it. this
00:01:04.487 --> 00:01:06.689
Say it like you mean it. this is my bible. i am what it
00:01:06.756 --> 00:01:07.857
Is my bible. i am what it says i am. i have what it
00:01:07.924 --> 00:01:08.691
Says i am. i have what it says i have. i can do what it
00:01:08.758 --> 00:01:10.660
Says i have. i can do what it says i can do. today, i will
00:01:10.727 --> 00:01:14.931
Says i can do. today, i will be taught the word of god. i

Be taught the word of god. i boldly confess: my mind is
00:01:17.133 --> 00:01:19.335
Boldly confess: my mind is alert. my heart is receptive.
00:01:19.402 --> 00:01:21.838
Alert. my heart is receptive. i will never be the same in
00:01:21.905 --> 00:01:24.007
I will never be the same in jesus' name. god bless you.
00:01:24.073 --> 00:01:27.577
Jesus' name. god bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:27.644 --> 00:01:28.745
I want to talk to you today about programmed for
00:01:28.811 --> 00:01:30.013
About programmed for greatness. there are gifts
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.549
Greatness. there are gifts and talents god has put in
00:01:32.615 --> 00:01:33.983
And talents god has put in you that you haven't tapped
00:01:34.050 --> 00:01:35.518
You that you haven't tapped into yet. abilities and
00:01:35.585 --> 00:01:37.787
Into yet. abilities and potential that at the right
00:01:37.854 --> 00:01:39.589
Potential that at the right time, just like a gene that's
00:01:39.656 --> 00:01:41.824
Time, just like a gene that's been lying dormant, it will
00:01:41.891 --> 00:01:43.793
Been lying dormant, it will open, and you will discover
00:01:43.860 --> 00:01:46.095
Open, and you will discover things you never knew you
00:01:46.162 --> 00:01:47.063
Things you never knew you had. it's easy to think that
00:01:47.130 --> 00:01:49.666
Had. it's easy to think that we've reached our limits.
00:01:49.732 --> 00:01:51.301
We've reached our limits. “this is the family i come
00:01:51.367 --> 00:01:52.702
“this is the family i come from. this is my education.
00:01:52.769 --> 00:01:55.171
From. this is my education. this is what i'm good at.” we
00:01:55.238 --> 00:01:57.507
This is what i'm good at.” we look at what we've seen in
00:01:57.574 --> 00:01:58.575
Look at what we've seen in the past, but what you can't
00:01:58.641 --> 00:02:00.610
The past, but what you can't see is what god put in you
00:02:00.677 --> 00:02:03.179
See is what god put in you that hasn't been released.
00:02:03.246 --> 00:02:05.148
That hasn't been released. destiny genes that haven't
00:02:05.215 --> 00:02:07.116
Destiny genes that haven't opened yet. when you come
00:02:07.183 --> 00:02:09.319
Opened yet. when you come into opportunity that looks
00:02:09.385 --> 00:02:10.753
Into opportunity that looks over your head, that
00:02:10.820 --> 00:02:12.388
Over your head, that management position, to start
00:02:12.455 --> 00:02:14.424
Management position, to start the business, to teach the
00:02:14.490 --> 00:02:15.792
The business, to teach the class, thoughts will tell
00:02:15.858 --> 00:02:17.327
Class, thoughts will tell you, “you can't do that.
00:02:17.393 --> 00:02:19.262
You, “you can't do that. you're not qualified. it's
00:02:19.329 --> 00:02:20.630
You're not qualified. it's too much.” but god wouldn't
00:02:20.697 --> 00:02:22.832
Too much.” but god wouldn't have given you the
00:02:22.899 --> 00:02:23.666
Have given you the opportunity, if he had not
00:02:23.733 --> 00:02:25.535
Opportunity, if he had not already equipped you for what
00:02:25.602 --> 00:02:27.337
Already equipped you for what you need. the reason it feels
00:02:27.403 --> 00:02:29.706
You need. the reason it feels over your head is because
00:02:29.772 --> 00:02:31.674
Over your head is because there is talent, courage,
00:02:31.741 --> 00:02:33.476
There is talent, courage, favor, that you haven't seen
00:02:33.543 --> 00:02:35.511
Favor, that you haven't seen yet. it's in you. as you take
00:02:35.578 --> 00:02:38.348
Yet. it's in you. as you take that step of faith, you'll
00:02:38.414 --> 00:02:39.782
That step of faith, you'll discover that you've already
00:02:39.849 --> 00:02:41.384
Discover that you've already been programmed to do what
00:02:41.451 --> 00:02:43.386
Been programmed to do what god's asking you to do.
00:02:43.453 --> 00:02:45.688
God's asking you to do. god told jeremiah that he was
00:02:45.755 --> 00:02:47.624
God told jeremiah that he was going to be a great prophet
00:02:47.690 --> 00:02:49.292
Going to be a great prophet and he would speak to
00:02:49.359 --> 00:02:50.126
And he would speak to nations. jeremiah was young
00:02:50.193 --> 00:02:52.795
Nations. jeremiah was young and insecure. he didn't come
00:02:52.862 --> 00:02:54.831
And insecure. he didn't come from a family of prophets,
00:02:54.897 --> 00:02:56.733
From a family of prophets, didn't have any background of
00:02:56.799 --> 00:02:57.900
Didn't have any background of faith. he said, “god i can't
00:02:57.967 --> 00:02:59.969
Faith. he said, “god i can't do that. i'm a teenager,
00:03:00.036 --> 00:03:02.105
Do that. i'm a teenager, nobody is going to listen to
00:03:02.171 --> 00:03:03.106
Nobody is going to listen to me. i don't have the
00:03:03.172 --> 00:03:04.741
Me. i don't have the training, the confidence, the
00:03:04.807 --> 00:03:06.209
Training, the confidence, the personality.” god didn't say,
00:03:06.276 --> 00:03:08.578
Personality.” god didn't say, “i understand jeremiah. i
00:03:08.645 --> 00:03:10.380
“i understand jeremiah. i must have chosen the wrong
00:03:10.446 --> 00:03:11.381
Must have chosen the wrong person. you can sit back and
00:03:11.447 --> 00:03:13.116
Person. you can sit back and i'll find someone else.” no
00:03:13.182 --> 00:03:14.917
I'll find someone else.” no god wouldn't have asked you
00:03:14.984 --> 00:03:16.119
God wouldn't have asked you to do it, if you weren't well
00:03:16.185 --> 00:03:17.420
To do it, if you weren't well able. god answered back
00:03:17.487 --> 00:03:19.789
Able. god answered back something very insightful. he
00:03:19.856 --> 00:03:21.758
Something very insightful. he said, “jeremiah, before you
00:03:21.824 --> 00:03:23.660
Said, “jeremiah, before you were formed in the womb, i
00:03:23.726 --> 00:03:25.461
Were formed in the womb, i knew you. before you were
00:03:25.528 --> 00:03:27.497
Knew you. before you were born, i ordained you to be a
00:03:27.563 --> 00:03:30.300
Born, i ordained you to be a prophet to the nations.” he
00:03:30.366 --> 00:03:32.502
Prophet to the nations.” he was saying, “jeremiah before
00:03:32.568 --> 00:03:34.270
Was saying, “jeremiah before you ever got here, i already
00:03:34.337 --> 00:03:36.506
You ever got here, i already put in you what you needed to
00:03:36.572 --> 00:03:38.775
Put in you what you needed to accomplish your assignment. i
00:03:38.841 --> 00:03:40.743
Accomplish your assignment. i already gave you that gift to
00:03:40.810 --> 00:03:42.312
Already gave you that gift to be a prophet to nations. that
00:03:42.378 --> 00:03:44.247
Be a prophet to nations. that gene is already programmed to
00:03:44.314 --> 00:03:46.616
Gene is already programmed to open at the right time.”
00:03:46.683 --> 00:03:49.118
Open at the right time.” before you showed up on
00:03:49.185 --> 00:03:50.420
Before you showed up on planet earth, god decided his
00:03:50.486 --> 00:03:52.755
Planet earth, god decided his purpose for you. what he
00:03:52.822 --> 00:03:54.757
Purpose for you. what he destined for you to
00:03:54.824 --> 00:03:55.625
Destined for you to accomplish, the dreams you
00:03:55.692 --> 00:03:57.460
Accomplish, the dreams you would achieve, the obstacles
00:03:57.527 --> 00:03:59.195
Would achieve, the obstacles you would overcome, the
00:03:59.262 --> 00:04:00.263
You would overcome, the legacy you would leave.
00:04:00.330 --> 00:04:02.298
Legacy you would leave. you're not here by accident.
00:04:02.365 --> 00:04:04.334
You're not here by accident. your parents didn't just
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:05.335
Your parents didn't just randomly decide to have a
00:04:05.401 --> 00:04:06.869
Randomly decide to have a baby, god's been thinking
00:04:06.936 --> 00:04:08.938
Baby, god's been thinking about you long before you
00:04:09.005 --> 00:04:10.807
About you long before you showed up. before you were
00:04:10.873 --> 00:04:12.608
Showed up. before you were even in the womb, before you
00:04:12.675 --> 00:04:14.811
Even in the womb, before you were a thought in your
00:04:14.877 --> 00:04:15.778
Were a thought in your parent's mind, god not only
00:04:15.845 --> 00:04:18.214
Parent's mind, god not only knew you, but he put in you
00:04:18.281 --> 00:04:21.150
Knew you, but he put in you everything you need to
00:04:21.217 --> 00:04:22.518
Everything you need to succeed, to rise higher, to
00:04:22.585 --> 00:04:25.088
Succeed, to rise higher, to leave your mark. he
00:04:25.154 --> 00:04:26.823
Leave your mark. he programmed in your dna, not
00:04:26.889 --> 00:04:29.392
Programmed in your dna, not to be average, get by, settle
00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:32.061
To be average, get by, settle for mediocrity. he programmed
00:04:32.128 --> 00:04:34.464
For mediocrity. he programmed you for greatness. he
00:04:34.530 --> 00:04:35.932
You for greatness. he like jeremiah, opportunities
00:04:35.998 --> 00:04:37.967
Like jeremiah, opportunities will come across our path
00:04:38.034 --> 00:04:39.302
Will come across our path that seem too big, we're not
00:04:39.369 --> 00:04:41.704
That seem too big, we're not qualified, it's never
00:04:41.771 --> 00:04:43.072
Qualified, it's never happened in our family. yet
00:04:43.139 --> 00:04:45.742
Happened in our family. yet down deep, you'll feel a
00:04:45.808 --> 00:04:47.110
Down deep, you'll feel a stirring, a passion, a faith,
00:04:47.176 --> 00:04:49.946
Stirring, a passion, a faith, telling you that you can do
00:04:50.012 --> 00:04:51.414
Telling you that you can do it. you can speak to nations.
00:04:51.481 --> 00:04:53.983
It. you can speak to nations. you can start the business.
00:04:54.050 --> 00:04:55.785
You can start the business. you can beat the cancer. you
00:04:55.852 --> 00:04:57.620
You can beat the cancer. you can write that book. those
00:04:57.687 --> 00:04:59.822
Can write that book. those are destiny genes, that have
00:04:59.889 --> 00:05:01.891
Are destiny genes, that have been programmed by your
00:05:01.958 --> 00:05:03.092
Been programmed by your creator, that are about to
00:05:03.159 --> 00:05:04.827
Creator, that are about to open. there is greatness in
00:05:04.894 --> 00:05:07.864
Open. there is greatness in you. there are new levels.
00:05:07.930 --> 00:05:10.199
You. there are new levels. gifts you haven't tapped
00:05:10.266 --> 00:05:11.467
Gifts you haven't tapped into, books, songs, movies,
00:05:11.534 --> 00:05:14.637
Into, books, songs, movies, ideas, creativity, that are
00:05:14.704 --> 00:05:17.140
Ideas, creativity, that are lying dormant. at the right
00:05:17.206 --> 00:05:19.409
Lying dormant. at the right time, they're going to come
00:05:19.475 --> 00:05:20.343
Time, they're going to come to life. when you feel that
00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:22.812
To life. when you feel that nudging, you hear that still
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:24.981
Nudging, you hear that still small voice, dare to take
00:05:25.047 --> 00:05:27.183
Small voice, dare to take that step of faith. dare to
00:05:27.250 --> 00:05:29.519
That step of faith. dare to go further than what's
00:05:29.585 --> 00:05:30.653
Go further than what's comfortable. dare to say no
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.989
Comfortable. dare to say no the fear and yes to what
00:05:33.055 --> 00:05:34.590
The fear and yes to what god's telling you. press past
00:05:34.657 --> 00:05:37.059
God's telling you. press past the insecurity and all the
00:05:37.126 --> 00:05:38.995
The insecurity and all the negative thoughts and people
00:05:39.061 --> 00:05:40.663
Negative thoughts and people trying to hold you back. you
00:05:40.730 --> 00:05:42.865
Trying to hold you back. you won't reach your highest
00:05:42.932 --> 00:05:44.167
Won't reach your highest potential by staying
00:05:44.233 --> 00:05:45.701
Potential by staying comfortable, knowing how it's
00:05:45.768 --> 00:05:47.870
Comfortable, knowing how it's all going to work out, having
00:05:47.937 --> 00:05:49.505
All going to work out, having all the funds, everyone
00:05:49.572 --> 00:05:51.174
All the funds, everyone cheering you on. it's normal,
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.876
Cheering you on. it's normal, at times, to feel
00:05:53.943 --> 00:05:55.378
At times, to feel unqualified, not able,
00:05:55.445 --> 00:05:57.847
Unqualified, not able, afraid. those emotions come
00:05:57.914 --> 00:06:00.316
Afraid. those emotions come to us all, but the people
00:06:00.383 --> 00:06:02.318
To us all, but the people that step into their
00:06:02.385 --> 00:06:03.219
That step into their greatness, do it afraid. they
00:06:03.286 --> 00:06:06.222
Greatness, do it afraid. they do it feeling inadequate.
00:06:06.289 --> 00:06:08.191
Do it feeling inadequate. they do it without the
00:06:08.257 --> 00:06:09.025
They do it without the confidence. they do it despite
00:06:09.091 --> 00:06:11.127
Confidence. they do it despite the negative chatter. as you
00:06:11.194 --> 00:06:13.396
The negative chatter. as you make a move, then what god
00:06:13.463 --> 00:06:15.131
Make a move, then what god put in you will get stronger,
00:06:15.198 --> 00:06:17.767
Put in you will get stronger, god told jeremiah, “you must
00:06:17.834 --> 00:06:19.735
God told jeremiah, “you must go where i send you and say
00:06:19.802 --> 00:06:21.871
Go where i send you and say what i tell you. and do not
00:06:21.938 --> 00:06:24.273
What i tell you. and do not be afraid of the people.” out
00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:26.943
Be afraid of the people.” out of all the things god could
00:06:27.009 --> 00:06:28.344
Of all the things god could have told jeremiah in this
00:06:28.411 --> 00:06:30.179
Have told jeremiah in this moment of uncertainty. when
00:06:30.246 --> 00:06:32.315
Moment of uncertainty. when he was trying to decide if he
00:06:32.381 --> 00:06:33.850
He was trying to decide if he would believe he could do
00:06:33.916 --> 00:06:35.318
Would believe he could do something great, god didn't
00:06:35.384 --> 00:06:37.420
Something great, god didn't say, “don't worry about the
00:06:37.487 --> 00:06:38.821
Say, “don't worry about the funds, i'll provide. don't
00:06:38.888 --> 00:06:41.057
Funds, i'll provide. don't worry about the strategy, how
00:06:41.123 --> 00:06:43.025
Worry about the strategy, how it's going to happen, i'll
00:06:43.092 --> 00:06:43.893
It's going to happen, i'll show you. don't worry about
00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:45.595
Show you. don't worry about the talent, your ability,
00:06:45.661 --> 00:06:46.929
The talent, your ability, i'll help you.” no, god said,
00:06:46.996 --> 00:06:49.298
I'll help you.” no, god said, “here's the one you need to
00:06:49.365 --> 00:06:50.700
“here's the one you need to focus on. do not fear the
00:06:50.766 --> 00:06:52.735
Focus on. do not fear the people.” one version says,
00:06:52.802 --> 00:06:54.904
People.” one version says, do not be afraid of their
00:06:54.971 --> 00:06:56.706
Do not be afraid of their faces. what people think can
00:06:56.772 --> 00:06:59.976
Faces. what people think can keep you from your destiny if
00:07:00.042 --> 00:07:01.677
Keep you from your destiny if you allow it. “will they
00:07:01.744 --> 00:07:03.379
You allow it. “will they accept me? will they be for
00:07:03.446 --> 00:07:05.648
Accept me? will they be for me? will they understand me?
00:07:05.715 --> 00:07:07.950
Me? will they understand me? will they criticize me?” if
00:07:08.017 --> 00:07:10.019
Will they criticize me?” if you're focused on that,
00:07:10.086 --> 00:07:11.254
You're focused on that, you'll never get off dead
00:07:11.320 --> 00:07:12.488
You'll never get off dead center. because the enemy
00:07:12.555 --> 00:07:14.457
Center. because the enemy will make sure there are
00:07:14.524 --> 00:07:15.691
Will make sure there are people who are not for you.
00:07:15.758 --> 00:07:18.060
People who are not for you. relatives that say, “you
00:07:18.127 --> 00:07:19.529
Relatives that say, “you really think you can start
00:07:19.595 --> 00:07:20.663
Really think you can start that business.” coworkers, “i
00:07:20.730 --> 00:07:22.999
That business.” coworkers, “i don't see how you can teach
00:07:23.065 --> 00:07:24.066
Don't see how you can teach the class.” people to speak
00:07:24.133 --> 00:07:26.068
The class.” people to speak doubt, bring fear and
00:07:26.135 --> 00:07:27.837
Doubt, bring fear and uncertainty. tune all that
00:07:27.904 --> 00:07:29.438
Uncertainty. tune all that out. they don't know what god
00:07:29.505 --> 00:07:31.741
Out. they don't know what god put in you. they weren't
00:07:31.807 --> 00:07:33.676
Put in you. they weren't there before you were formed
00:07:33.743 --> 00:07:35.511
There before you were formed in your mother's womb. they
00:07:35.578 --> 00:07:37.213
In your mother's womb. they can't feel what you're
00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:38.180
Can't feel what you're feeling. they didn't hear
00:07:38.247 --> 00:07:39.782
Feeling. they didn't hear what god whispered to you in
00:07:39.849 --> 00:07:41.350
What god whispered to you in the night. don't be surprised
00:07:41.417 --> 00:07:43.619
The night. don't be surprised if they say, “you, a prophet
00:07:43.686 --> 00:07:45.154
If they say, “you, a prophet to the nations? i don't think
00:07:45.221 --> 00:07:46.622
To the nations? i don't think so. you build that orphanage?
00:07:46.689 --> 00:07:49.425
So. you build that orphanage? you live in that nice
00:07:49.492 --> 00:07:50.426
You live in that nice neighborhood? you lead your
00:07:50.493 --> 00:07:52.128
Neighborhood? you lead your department in sales, start
00:07:52.194 --> 00:07:54.263
Department in sales, start that business, break that
00:07:54.330 --> 00:07:55.464
That business, break that dysfunction. i don't see how.”
00:07:55.531 --> 00:07:57.900
Dysfunction. i don't see how.” they don't have to see. it's
00:07:57.967 --> 00:07:59.535
They don't have to see. it's not up to them. this is
00:07:59.602 --> 00:08:01.103
Not up to them. this is between you and god. this is
00:08:01.170 --> 00:08:03.339
Between you and god. this is the purpose that he placed in
00:08:03.406 --> 00:08:05.341
The purpose that he placed in you before you showed up.
00:08:05.408 --> 00:08:08.177
You before you showed up. god went on to say, “for i
00:08:08.244 --> 00:08:09.979
God went on to say, “for i will be with you, and i will
00:08:10.046 --> 00:08:12.048
Will be with you, and i will take care of you.” when you
00:08:12.114 --> 00:08:14.183
Take care of you.” when you take these steps of faith,
00:08:14.250 --> 00:08:15.785
Take these steps of faith, you're not going alone. the

Know what to do. he will bring out talent that you
00:08:25.328 --> 00:08:26.596
Bring out talent that you didn't know you had. he will
00:08:26.662 --> 00:08:28.264
Didn't know you had. he will make ways where you don't see
00:08:28.331 --> 00:08:29.799
Make ways where you don't see a way. you and god are a
00:08:29.865 --> 00:08:31.968
A way. you and god are a majority. one angel in the
00:08:32.034 --> 00:08:34.870
Majority. one angel in the old testament defeated 186,000
00:08:34.937 --> 00:08:38.941
Old testament defeated 186,000 of the enemies of hezekiah.
00:08:39.008 --> 00:08:41.377
Of the enemies of hezekiah. who can withstand our god?
00:08:41.444 --> 00:08:43.613
Who can withstand our god? who can stop what he has
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:44.780
Who can stop what he has purposed for your life? when
00:08:44.847 --> 00:08:46.782
Purposed for your life? when you do what he's asking you
00:08:46.849 --> 00:08:48.184
You do what he's asking you to do, there is a force
00:08:48.250 --> 00:08:49.819
To do, there is a force behind you that you can't
00:08:49.885 --> 00:08:51.354
Behind you that you can't explain, a power that causes
00:08:51.420 --> 00:08:53.856
Explain, a power that causes you to overcome what should
00:08:53.923 --> 00:08:55.558

Right people, that propels you into your destiny.
00:09:01.330 --> 00:09:03.666
You into your destiny. jeremiah felt this faith
00:09:03.733 --> 00:09:05.301
Jeremiah felt this faith rising up, instead of talking
00:09:05.368 --> 00:09:07.236
Rising up, instead of talking himself out of it, staying
00:09:07.303 --> 00:09:08.904
Himself out of it, staying focused on all his
00:09:08.971 --> 00:09:09.839
Focused on all his insecurities, he made the
00:09:09.905 --> 00:09:11.607
Insecurities, he made the decision to speak to nations.
00:09:11.674 --> 00:09:14.343
Decision to speak to nations. when he did, the scripture
00:09:14.410 --> 00:09:15.544
When he did, the scripture says, “god touched his mouth,
00:09:15.611 --> 00:09:18.180
Says, “god touched his mouth, and said, ‘from now on, i'm
00:09:18.247 --> 00:09:19.982
And said, ‘from now on, i'm giving you the words to
00:09:20.049 --> 00:09:21.017
Giving you the words to speak. today i'm appointing
00:09:21.083 --> 00:09:23.452
Speak. today i'm appointing you as a prophet to the
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:24.754
You as a prophet to the nations.'” that was a destiny
00:09:24.820 --> 00:09:27.256
Nations.'” that was a destiny moment. that calling that god
00:09:27.323 --> 00:09:29.625
Moment. that calling that god put in jeremiah from before
00:09:29.692 --> 00:09:31.394
Put in jeremiah from before he was born, had laid
00:09:31.460 --> 00:09:33.062
He was born, had laid dormant. it was there, but
00:09:33.129 --> 00:09:35.698
Dormant. it was there, but when he pressed past his
00:09:35.765 --> 00:09:36.999
When he pressed past his doubt, and took this step of
00:09:37.066 --> 00:09:38.968
Doubt, and took this step of faith, that destiny gene
00:09:39.035 --> 00:09:41.070
Faith, that destiny gene opened. that's when god
00:09:41.137 --> 00:09:42.838
Opened. that's when god touched his mouth. when he
00:09:42.905 --> 00:09:44.306
Touched his mouth. when he made a move, god made a move.
00:09:44.373 --> 00:09:47.009
Made a move, god made a move. there are destiny genes in
00:09:47.076 --> 00:09:48.944
There are destiny genes in you right now, things that
00:09:49.011 --> 00:09:50.980
You right now, things that god has ordained you to
00:09:51.047 --> 00:09:52.415
God has ordained you to accomplish from before you
00:09:52.481 --> 00:09:54.183
Accomplish from before you were born. he's already put
00:09:54.250 --> 00:09:56.218
Were born. he's already put the talent, the wisdom, the
00:09:56.285 --> 00:09:58.220
The talent, the wisdom, the favor, the courage. it's
00:09:58.287 --> 00:09:59.488
Favor, the courage. it's already in you. what you're
00:09:59.555 --> 00:10:01.824
Already in you. what you're facing may seem impossible,
00:10:01.891 --> 00:10:03.893
Facing may seem impossible, too much. but the way you
00:10:03.959 --> 00:10:05.461
Too much. but the way you know it's from god is it's
00:10:05.528 --> 00:10:07.263
Know it's from god is it's way over your head. if you
00:10:07.329 --> 00:10:09.331
Way over your head. if you can accomplish in your own
00:10:09.398 --> 00:10:10.933
Can accomplish in your own strength, then it's not a
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.435
Strength, then it's not a destiny gene. what i'm
00:10:12.501 --> 00:10:14.103
Destiny gene. what i'm talking about are things that
00:10:14.170 --> 00:10:15.705
Talking about are things that are too big for you. you
00:10:15.771 --> 00:10:17.773
Are too big for you. you don't think you have the
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:18.674
Don't think you have the talent, the courage, the
00:10:18.741 --> 00:10:20.342
Talent, the courage, the funds, the connections. every
00:10:20.409 --> 00:10:22.712
Funds, the connections. every thought will tell you to,
00:10:22.778 --> 00:10:23.345
Thought will tell you to, “play it safe. you better
00:10:23.412 --> 00:10:24.980
“play it safe. you better stay in that boat. don't
00:10:25.047 --> 00:10:26.315
Stay in that boat. don't stretch. don't believe. don't
00:10:26.382 --> 00:10:28.918
Stretch. don't believe. don't get your hopes up. that's for
00:10:28.984 --> 00:10:30.553
Get your hopes up. that's for people that have more talent,
00:10:30.619 --> 00:10:32.221
People that have more talent, more beauty, more courage.”
00:10:32.288 --> 00:10:34.223
More beauty, more courage.” no that's something god has
00:10:34.290 --> 00:10:35.658
No that's something god has already programmed you to
00:10:35.725 --> 00:10:37.259
Already programmed you to become.
00:10:37.326 --> 00:10:38.494
Become. now let's get in agreement
00:10:38.561 --> 00:10:39.729
Now let's get in agreement with god. “god, i believe
00:10:39.795 --> 00:10:41.831
With god. “god, i believe there is greatness in me. i
00:10:41.897 --> 00:10:44.033
There is greatness in me. i believe i can do what you've
00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:45.534
Believe i can do what you've called me to do. i can speak
00:10:45.601 --> 00:10:47.303
Called me to do. i can speak to nations. i can lead my
00:10:47.369 --> 00:10:49.305
To nations. i can lead my company. i can write that
00:10:49.371 --> 00:10:51.173
Company. i can write that book you've put in my spirit.
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:52.742
Book you've put in my spirit. i can break this dysfunction.
00:10:52.808 --> 00:10:54.810
I can break this dysfunction. i can set a new standard for
00:10:54.877 --> 00:10:56.545
I can set a new standard for my family.” when you believe,
00:10:56.612 --> 00:10:59.615
My family.” when you believe, that activates supernatural
00:10:59.682 --> 00:11:01.050
That activates supernatural power. that's when god will
00:11:01.117 --> 00:11:03.385
Power. that's when god will touch your mouth so to speak,
00:11:03.452 --> 00:11:05.488
Touch your mouth so to speak, and you'll discover new
00:11:05.554 --> 00:11:06.555
And you'll discover new talent, new courage, new
00:11:06.622 --> 00:11:08.457
Talent, new courage, new ideas. doors opening that you
00:11:08.524 --> 00:11:10.626
Ideas. doors opening that you couldn't open. people being
00:11:10.693 --> 00:11:12.261
Couldn't open. people being good to you, and they don't
00:11:12.328 --> 00:11:13.529
Good to you, and they don't even know why. it's the hand
00:11:13.596 --> 00:11:15.598
Even know why. it's the hand of god, bringing about what
00:11:15.664 --> 00:11:17.733
Of god, bringing about what he purposed for your life
00:11:17.800 --> 00:11:19.368
He purposed for your life from before you were born.
00:11:19.435 --> 00:11:22.238
From before you were born. but too often, like jeremiah,
00:11:22.304 --> 00:11:24.740
But too often, like jeremiah, when we feel something
00:11:24.807 --> 00:11:25.741
When we feel something stirring, something that
00:11:25.808 --> 00:11:27.343
Stirring, something that seems over our head, we
00:11:27.409 --> 00:11:28.978
Seems over our head, we discount who we are. we look
00:11:29.044 --> 00:11:31.247
Discount who we are. we look at everything we don't have,
00:11:31.313 --> 00:11:32.581
At everything we don't have, and we talk ourselves out of
00:11:32.648 --> 00:11:34.216
And we talk ourselves out of it. jeremiah said, “god, i'm
00:11:34.283 --> 00:11:36.185
It. jeremiah said, “god, i'm too young. i don't have the
00:11:36.252 --> 00:11:37.953
Too young. i don't have the experience, the training. i
00:11:38.020 --> 00:11:40.356
Experience, the training. i don't come from the right
00:11:40.422 --> 00:11:41.257
Don't come from the right family.” god knew all that
00:11:41.323 --> 00:11:43.826
Family.” god knew all that when he called jeremiah. we
00:11:43.893 --> 00:11:46.028
When he called jeremiah. we look at where we are, but god
00:11:46.095 --> 00:11:48.063
Look at where we are, but god knows what he put in us. we
00:11:48.130 --> 00:11:50.266
Knows what he put in us. we can't see the genes that are
00:11:50.332 --> 00:11:51.700
Can't see the genes that are about to open. we don't know
00:11:51.767 --> 00:11:53.669
About to open. we don't know the talent, the ability
00:11:53.736 --> 00:11:55.471
The talent, the ability that's about to come out.
00:11:55.538 --> 00:11:57.540
That's about to come out. this is what takes faith. you
00:11:57.606 --> 00:11:59.542
This is what takes faith. you have to believe, not only
00:11:59.608 --> 00:12:01.343
Have to believe, not only that god can do anything, but
00:12:01.410 --> 00:12:03.879
That god can do anything, but that he's put in you
00:12:03.946 --> 00:12:05.514
That he's put in you everything you need to
00:12:05.581 --> 00:12:06.849
Everything you need to fulfill your purpose. it may
00:12:06.916 --> 00:12:09.218
Fulfill your purpose. it may feel like at times that
00:12:09.285 --> 00:12:10.352
Feel like at times that you're lacking, it's over
00:12:10.419 --> 00:12:11.787
You're lacking, it's over your head, that's a sign that
00:12:11.854 --> 00:12:14.223
Your head, that's a sign that a destiny gene is about to
00:12:14.290 --> 00:12:15.958
A destiny gene is about to open. god will never ask you
00:12:16.025 --> 00:12:18.694
Open. god will never ask you to do something and then not
00:12:18.761 --> 00:12:20.796
To do something and then not give you the ability to do
00:12:20.863 --> 00:12:22.231
Give you the ability to do it. if it seems like too
00:12:22.298 --> 00:12:24.300
It. if it seems like too much, that means greater
00:12:24.366 --> 00:12:25.901
Much, that means greater ability is coming, greater
00:12:25.968 --> 00:12:27.703
Ability is coming, greater wisdom, greater resources,
00:12:27.770 --> 00:12:29.271
Wisdom, greater resources, greater favor. god is about
00:12:29.338 --> 00:12:31.073
Greater favor. god is about to touch your mouth, so to
00:12:31.140 --> 00:12:32.408
To touch your mouth, so to speak, and cause you to excel
00:12:32.474 --> 00:12:34.543
Speak, and cause you to excel and go where
00:12:34.610 --> 00:12:35.911
And go where you've never gone.
00:12:35.978 --> 00:12:36.745
You've never gone. i heard about a minister.
00:12:36.812 --> 00:12:39.582
I heard about a minister. before the service, he handed
00:12:39.648 --> 00:12:41.517
Before the service, he handed a man a hundred-dollar bill
00:12:41.584 --> 00:12:43.619
A man a hundred-dollar bill and asked him to secretly put
00:12:43.686 --> 00:12:45.588
And asked him to secretly put it in his wife's bible.
00:12:45.654 --> 00:12:47.590
It in his wife's bible. during his message, the
00:12:47.656 --> 00:12:48.958
During his message, the minister asked the woman to
00:12:49.024 --> 00:12:50.359
Minister asked the woman to stand up. he said, “do you
00:12:50.426 --> 00:12:52.194
Stand up. he said, “do you trust me?” she said, “yes i
00:12:52.261 --> 00:12:54.063
Trust me?” she said, “yes i do.” he said, “will you do
00:12:54.129 --> 00:12:55.831
Do.” he said, “will you do what i ask.” she said, “yes i
00:12:55.898 --> 00:12:57.833
What i ask.” she said, “yes i will.” he said, “would you
00:12:57.900 --> 00:12:59.468
Will.” he said, “would you please open your bible and
00:12:59.535 --> 00:13:01.503
Please open your bible and give me a one-hundred-dollar
00:13:01.570 --> 00:13:02.938
Give me a one-hundred-dollar bill.” she said, “i'm so
00:13:03.005 --> 00:13:04.940
Bill.” she said, “i'm so sorry pastor, i don't have a
00:13:05.007 --> 00:13:06.742
Sorry pastor, i don't have a hundred-dollar bill.” he said
00:13:06.809 --> 00:13:08.744
Hundred-dollar bill.” he said it again. “do you trust me?”
00:13:08.811 --> 00:13:10.813
It again. “do you trust me?” “yes, i trust you.” “then
00:13:10.880 --> 00:13:12.381
“yes, i trust you.” “then please open your bible and
00:13:12.448 --> 00:13:14.250
Please open your bible and give me a hundred-dollar
00:13:14.316 --> 00:13:15.551
Give me a hundred-dollar bill.” frustrated, she opened
00:13:15.618 --> 00:13:17.820
Bill.” frustrated, she opened her bible and much to her
00:13:17.887 --> 00:13:19.688
Her bible and much to her surprise, she saw the hundred
00:13:19.755 --> 00:13:21.290
Surprise, she saw the hundred dollars. she looked puzzled
00:13:21.357 --> 00:13:23.192
Dollars. she looked puzzled and said, “how did it get
00:13:23.259 --> 00:13:24.226
And said, “how did it get here?” he smiled and said, “i
00:13:24.293 --> 00:13:26.695
Here?” he smiled and said, “i put it there.” that's the way
00:13:26.762 --> 00:13:29.064
Put it there.” that's the way god is. he'll never ask you
00:13:29.131 --> 00:13:30.966
God is. he'll never ask you for something without first
00:13:31.033 --> 00:13:32.701
For something without first putting it in you. when you
00:13:32.768 --> 00:13:34.770
Putting it in you. when you feel that calling, you hear
00:13:34.837 --> 00:13:37.273
Feel that calling, you hear that still small voice
00:13:37.339 --> 00:13:39.942
That still small voice whispering something that
00:13:40.009 --> 00:13:41.143
Whispering something that seems over your head. you may
00:13:41.210 --> 00:13:44.013
Seems over your head. you may not think you have the
00:13:44.079 --> 00:13:45.014
Not think you have the wisdom, the strength, the
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:46.649
Wisdom, the strength, the skill, the talent, but if
00:13:46.715 --> 00:13:48.417
Skill, the talent, but if you'll take that step, you'll
00:13:48.484 --> 00:13:50.119
You'll take that step, you'll discover that god has put
00:13:50.185 --> 00:13:51.987
Discover that god has put things in you that you never
00:13:52.054 --> 00:13:53.856
Things in you that you never knew you had. he's already
00:13:53.923 --> 00:13:55.824
Knew you had. he's already ordained you before you were
00:13:55.891 --> 00:13:58.060
Ordained you before you were formed in your mother's womb
00:13:58.127 --> 00:14:00.296
Formed in your mother's womb to accomplish much more than
00:14:00.362 --> 00:14:02.097
To accomplish much more than you think.
00:14:02.164 --> 00:14:03.499
You think. i never thought there was a
00:14:03.565 --> 00:14:04.500
I never thought there was a minister in me. i didn't
00:14:04.566 --> 00:14:06.468
Minister in me. i didn't think i could get up here and
00:14:06.535 --> 00:14:07.569
Think i could get up here and pastor. i was satisfied
00:14:07.636 --> 00:14:09.838
Pastor. i was satisfied behind the scenes. i felt
00:14:09.905 --> 00:14:11.674
Behind the scenes. i felt fulfilled doing the
00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:12.574
Fulfilled doing the television production, making
00:14:12.641 --> 00:14:14.310
Television production, making my father look good. he asked
00:14:14.376 --> 00:14:16.712
My father look good. he asked me many times during those
00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:18.180
Me many times during those seventeen years if i would
00:14:18.247 --> 00:14:19.715
Seventeen years if i would get up and speak for him.
00:14:19.782 --> 00:14:20.849
Get up and speak for him. that was always so odd to me.
00:14:20.916 --> 00:14:23.152
That was always so odd to me. i thought, “i wouldn't know
00:14:23.218 --> 00:14:24.219
I thought, “i wouldn't know what to say.” i'm quiet and
00:14:24.286 --> 00:14:26.588
What to say.” i'm quiet and reserved. i like being in the
00:14:26.655 --> 00:14:28.023
Reserved. i like being in the background. i always told him
00:14:28.090 --> 00:14:29.825
Background. i always told him no. but when my father
00:14:29.892 --> 00:14:31.727
No. but when my father passed, suddenly i had the
00:14:31.794 --> 00:14:33.896
Passed, suddenly i had the desire to pastor the church.
00:14:33.963 --> 00:14:36.432
Desire to pastor the church. this faith rose up in me. i
00:14:36.498 --> 00:14:38.334
This faith rose up in me. i knew i was supposed to do it.
00:14:38.400 --> 00:14:40.636
Knew i was supposed to do it. but like jeremiah, i thought
00:14:40.703 --> 00:14:42.571
But like jeremiah, i thought of all the reasons i
00:14:42.638 --> 00:14:43.539
Of all the reasons i shouldn't. “i'm not
00:14:43.605 --> 00:14:44.573
Shouldn't. “i'm not qualified. i don't have the
00:14:44.640 --> 00:14:46.542
Qualified. i don't have the training. i don't have a
00:14:46.608 --> 00:14:48.344
Training. i don't have a dynamic personality like my
00:14:48.410 --> 00:14:50.145
Dynamic personality like my father.” but all those things
00:14:50.212 --> 00:14:52.848
Father.” but all those things i thought i didn't have, like
00:14:52.915 --> 00:14:54.550
I thought i didn't have, like that hundred-dollar bill, i
00:14:54.616 --> 00:14:56.251
That hundred-dollar bill, i discovered god had already
00:14:56.318 --> 00:14:58.020
Discovered god had already put in me. i had the talent.
00:14:58.087 --> 00:15:00.356
Put in me. i had the talent. i had the courage, the
00:15:00.422 --> 00:15:01.623
I had the courage, the wisdom, the favor, the right
00:15:01.690 --> 00:15:03.392
Wisdom, the favor, the right personality. for thirty-six
00:15:03.459 --> 00:15:05.861
Personality. for thirty-six years that gene was lying
00:15:05.928 --> 00:15:07.730
Years that gene was lying dormant. god had put it in me
00:15:07.796 --> 00:15:10.666
Dormant. god had put it in me before i was formed in my
00:15:10.733 --> 00:15:12.034
Before i was formed in my mother's womb. there was a
00:15:12.101 --> 00:15:13.702
Mother's womb. there was a specific time for it to open.
00:15:13.769 --> 00:15:16.071
Specific time for it to open. when it did, i discovered
00:15:16.138 --> 00:15:18.273
When it did, i discovered there was a minister in me,
00:15:18.340 --> 00:15:20.142
There was a minister in me, there was an author in me, an
00:15:20.209 --> 00:15:21.777
There was an author in me, an encourager in me, a leader in
00:15:21.844 --> 00:15:23.545
Encourager in me, a leader in me. i thought i would do
00:15:23.612 --> 00:15:25.180
Me. i thought i would do television production the
00:15:25.247 --> 00:15:26.582
Television production the rest of my life, be at that
00:15:26.648 --> 00:15:28.584
Rest of my life, be at that same level, that was all
00:15:28.650 --> 00:15:29.818
Same level, that was all fine, but god had greater
00:15:29.885 --> 00:15:32.021
Fine, but god had greater things he had already
00:15:32.087 --> 00:15:33.589
Things he had already destined me to do.
00:15:33.655 --> 00:15:34.623
Destined me to do. you may think you've reached
00:15:34.690 --> 00:15:37.226
You may think you've reached your limits. you're satisfied
00:15:37.292 --> 00:15:39.061
Your limits. you're satisfied where you are. can i
00:15:39.128 --> 00:15:40.262
Where you are. can i encourage you; god has put
00:15:40.329 --> 00:15:42.197
Encourage you; god has put things in you that you can't
00:15:42.264 --> 00:15:43.899
Things in you that you can't even imagine right now. there
00:15:43.966 --> 00:15:46.301
Even imagine right now. there are gifts you haven't tapped
00:15:46.368 --> 00:15:47.903
Are gifts you haven't tapped into, talent, ideas,
00:15:47.970 --> 00:15:50.706
Into, talent, ideas, business, ministry. it's
00:15:50.773 --> 00:15:52.574
Business, ministry. it's lying dormant, but when you
00:15:52.641 --> 00:15:54.610
Lying dormant, but when you come into one of these
00:15:54.676 --> 00:15:55.611
Come into one of these destiny moments, that gene is
00:15:55.677 --> 00:15:57.946
Destiny moments, that gene is going to open and you're
00:15:58.013 --> 00:15:59.581
Going to open and you're going to step into levels
00:15:59.648 --> 00:16:00.916
Going to step into levels you've never dreamed. if you
00:16:00.983 --> 00:16:02.951
You've never dreamed. if you would have told me back in my
00:16:03.018 --> 00:16:04.153
Would have told me back in my twenties that one day i would
00:16:04.219 --> 00:16:05.587
Twenties that one day i would be a minister, on television,
00:16:05.654 --> 00:16:08.257
Be a minister, on television, i'd write books, we'd have
00:16:08.323 --> 00:16:10.426
I'd write books, we'd have church in the former compaq
00:16:10.492 --> 00:16:11.860
Church in the former compaq center, i would have said,
00:16:11.927 --> 00:16:13.295
Center, i would have said, you're on the wrong planet. i
00:16:13.362 --> 00:16:15.097
You're on the wrong planet. i couldn't see it. this was
00:16:15.164 --> 00:16:16.698
Couldn't see it. this was more than i could imagine.
00:16:16.765 --> 00:16:18.767
More than i could imagine. you have no idea what god has
00:16:18.834 --> 00:16:21.036
You have no idea what god has already programmed for you.
00:16:21.103 --> 00:16:23.338
Already programmed for you. here's the beauty. this is
00:16:23.405 --> 00:16:24.973
Here's the beauty. this is not something that you have
00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:25.941
Not something that you have to strive and manipulate,
00:16:26.008 --> 00:16:28.310
To strive and manipulate, force to happen, step on
00:16:28.377 --> 00:16:30.179
Force to happen, step on people to get ahead. no just
00:16:30.245 --> 00:16:32.314
People to get ahead. no just keep honoring god, being your
00:16:32.381 --> 00:16:34.450
Keep honoring god, being your best each day, and you'll
00:16:34.516 --> 00:16:36.385
Best each day, and you'll come into these destiny
00:16:36.452 --> 00:16:37.686
Come into these destiny moments where what he's
00:16:37.753 --> 00:16:39.388
Moments where what he's ordained for you from before
00:16:39.455 --> 00:16:41.557
Ordained for you from before you were born will thrust you
00:16:41.623 --> 00:16:43.759
You were born will thrust you further than ever thought
00:16:43.826 --> 00:16:45.260
Further than ever thought possible.
00:16:45.327 --> 00:16:46.862
Possible. jeremiah went on to say,
00:16:46.929 --> 00:16:48.263
Jeremiah went on to say, “your word oh lord, is like
00:16:48.330 --> 00:16:50.732
“your word oh lord, is like fire shut up in my bones.”
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.702
Fire shut up in my bones.” here a little earlier, he was
00:16:53.769 --> 00:16:55.037
Here a little earlier, he was saying, “i'm too young. i
00:16:55.104 --> 00:16:56.772
Saying, “i'm too young. i can't speak. i'm
00:16:56.839 --> 00:16:58.006
Can't speak. i'm unqualified.” now he's
00:16:58.073 --> 00:16:59.741
Unqualified.” now he's saying, “i've got fire shut
00:16:59.808 --> 00:17:01.543
Saying, “i've got fire shut up in me. i've got talent,
00:17:01.610 --> 00:17:03.745
Up in me. i've got talent, anointing, power that i never
00:17:03.812 --> 00:17:05.948
Anointing, power that i never realized.” i wonder what's
00:17:06.014 --> 00:17:08.817
Realized.” i wonder what's shut up in you right now,
00:17:08.884 --> 00:17:11.019
Shut up in you right now, what has god has already
00:17:11.086 --> 00:17:12.054
What has god has already programmed you with, that you
00:17:12.121 --> 00:17:13.655
Programmed you with, that you have no idea. books shut up
00:17:13.722 --> 00:17:16.225
Have no idea. books shut up in you, talent shut up in

I believe god is about to release what's been shut up.
00:17:33.809 --> 00:17:36.178
Release what's been shut up. release the talent in you,
00:17:36.245 --> 00:17:38.447
Release the talent in you, release the courage, release
00:17:38.514 --> 00:17:40.516

Handle. doors you never expected to open, talent that

Expected to open, talent that you didn't know was in you.
00:17:49.158 --> 00:17:50.826
You didn't know was in you. it's not going to be
00:17:50.893 --> 00:17:51.460
It's not going to be ordinary; it's not going to
00:17:51.527 --> 00:17:52.928
Ordinary; it's not going to be common. it's going to be
00:17:52.995 --> 00:17:54.463
Be common. it's going to be something your family has
00:17:54.530 --> 00:17:55.898
Something your family has never seen. something that
00:17:55.964 --> 00:17:57.432
Never seen. something that will cause you to stand out,

A friend of mine came here from another country when he
00:18:04.239 --> 00:18:05.908
From another country when he was a little boy with his

Family. they didn't speak english. the parents did

English. the parents did their best to provide but
00:18:12.014 --> 00:18:13.849
Their best to provide but they were very poor and had
00:18:13.916 --> 00:18:15.584
They were very poor and had little education. as a young
00:18:15.651 --> 00:18:17.186
Little education. as a young man, he got a job at a
00:18:17.252 --> 00:18:18.453
Man, he got a job at a restaurant as a dishwasher,

Restaurant as a dishwasher, making minimum wage. it
00:18:21.089 --> 00:18:23.025
Making minimum wage. it looked like that would be his
00:18:23.091 --> 00:18:24.092
Looked like that would be his lot in life, that he was at a
00:18:24.159 --> 00:18:25.727
Lot in life, that he was at a disadvantage. he shouldn't
00:18:25.794 --> 00:18:27.462
Disadvantage. he shouldn't expect anything more. but you
00:18:27.529 --> 00:18:29.798
Expect anything more. but you don't know what god has shut
00:18:29.865 --> 00:18:31.300
Don't know what god has shut up in you. you can't judge
00:18:31.366 --> 00:18:33.435
Up in you. you can't judge your future based on what
00:18:33.502 --> 00:18:35.304
Your future based on what you've seen in the past.

Wanted to buy the restaurant. he was so puzzled. he
00:18:51.887 --> 00:18:52.821
He was so puzzled. he thought, “i can't buy it. i'm

Time.” he sold him the restaurant at half the value.
00:19:07.102 --> 00:19:09.738

Scripture says, “out of your belly shall flow rivers of
00:19:45.607 --> 00:19:47.743
Belly shall flow rivers of living water.” not out of

Is able to do exceeding, abundantly above and beyond
00:20:03.692 --> 00:20:05.294

Here's the key, “according to the power that works in you.”
00:20:09.931 --> 00:20:12.534
The power that works in you.” it's already in you. god has
00:20:12.601 --> 00:20:14.736

Fire shut up in your bones is about to be released.
00:20:27.883 --> 00:20:30.018
About to be released. god told abraham and sarah
00:20:30.085 --> 00:20:31.453
God told abraham and sarah that they were going to have
00:20:31.520 --> 00:20:32.688
That they were going to have a baby. they were both way
00:20:32.754 --> 00:20:34.756
A baby. they were both way too old. sarah had already
00:20:34.823 --> 00:20:36.825
Too old. sarah had already gone through the change of
00:20:36.892 --> 00:20:37.926
Gone through the change of life. there was no way
00:20:37.993 --> 00:20:40.062
Life. there was no way logically speaking. sometimes
00:20:40.128 --> 00:20:43.065
Logically speaking. sometimes god will put things in your
00:20:43.131 --> 00:20:44.399
God will put things in your spirit that don't make sense
00:20:44.466 --> 00:20:46.234
Spirit that don't make sense to your mind. he'll give you
00:20:46.301 --> 00:20:48.236
To your mind. he'll give you a promise that defies the
00:20:48.303 --> 00:20:49.771
A promise that defies the odds. when sarah first heard
00:20:49.838 --> 00:20:52.107
Odds. when sarah first heard it, it was so far out, she
00:20:52.174 --> 00:20:53.775
It, it was so far out, she laughed. she said, “how could
00:20:53.842 --> 00:20:55.610
Laughed. she said, “how could an old woman like me and a
00:20:55.677 --> 00:20:57.979
An old woman like me and a worn-out man like abraham
00:20:58.046 --> 00:20:59.981
Worn-out man like abraham have a child.” she could have
00:21:00.048 --> 00:21:02.184
Have a child.” she could have left abraham out of that. in
00:21:02.250 --> 00:21:04.553
Left abraham out of that. in the natural it was
00:21:04.619 --> 00:21:05.787
The natural it was impossible, but god is
00:21:05.854 --> 00:21:07.789
Impossible, but god is supernatural. what he's
00:21:07.856 --> 00:21:09.991
Supernatural. what he's already programmed for your
00:21:10.058 --> 00:21:11.493
Already programmed for your life is not going to happen
00:21:11.560 --> 00:21:13.595
Life is not going to happen just by talent, your
00:21:13.662 --> 00:21:15.530
Just by talent, your education, determination, by
00:21:15.597 --> 00:21:17.499
Education, determination, by ordinary means. that's all
00:21:17.566 --> 00:21:19.501
Ordinary means. that's all good but what god has for you
00:21:19.568 --> 00:21:22.137
Good but what god has for you is going to take supernatural
00:21:22.204 --> 00:21:23.739
Is going to take supernatural power, supernatural favor,
00:21:23.805 --> 00:21:26.108
Power, supernatural favor, supernatural healing. it's
00:21:26.174 --> 00:21:27.609
Supernatural healing. it's not going to be ordinary, not
00:21:27.676 --> 00:21:29.678
Not going to be ordinary, not what people expect, it's
00:21:29.745 --> 00:21:31.113
What people expect, it's going to be uncommon. god
00:21:31.179 --> 00:21:33.181
Going to be uncommon. god doing what only he can do.
00:21:33.248 --> 00:21:35.984
Doing what only he can do. god said in genesis 17, “i
00:21:36.051 --> 00:21:38.253
God said in genesis 17, “i will give sarah a son. she
00:21:38.320 --> 00:21:40.822
Will give sarah a son. she will be the mother of

Will be the mother of nations. kings of people will
00:21:42.057 --> 00:21:44.693
Nations. kings of people will come out of her.” here sarah
00:21:44.760 --> 00:21:47.129
Come out of her.” here sarah was doubting, discouraged,
00:21:47.195 --> 00:21:49.331
Was doubting, discouraged, thinking there was no way.
00:21:49.398 --> 00:21:51.133
Thinking there was no way. she had been barren her whole
00:21:51.199 --> 00:21:52.701
She had been barren her whole life. in those days, if you
00:21:52.768 --> 00:21:54.903
Life. in those days, if you didn't give your husband a
00:21:54.970 --> 00:21:55.971
Didn't give your husband a child, you were looked down
00:21:56.037 --> 00:21:57.339
Child, you were looked down on. she felt shame, like she
00:21:57.406 --> 00:21:59.941
On. she felt shame, like she wasn't good enough. god
00:22:00.008 --> 00:22:01.910
Wasn't good enough. god showed up and said, “sarah,
00:22:01.977 --> 00:22:03.078
Showed up and said, “sarah, i'm not just going to give
00:22:03.145 --> 00:22:04.546
I'm not just going to give you a child. you have kings

You a child. you have kings in you. you have nations in
00:22:07.048 --> 00:22:09.184
In you. you have nations in you. i've put royalty on the
00:22:09.251 --> 00:22:11.119
You. i've put royalty on the inside.” he was saying,
00:22:11.186 --> 00:22:12.821
Inside.” he was saying, “sarah, you have something
00:22:12.888 --> 00:22:14.623
“sarah, you have something you can't see right now,
00:22:14.689 --> 00:22:16.391
You can't see right now, something bigger than you can
00:22:16.458 --> 00:22:17.826
Something bigger than you can imagine. you've been through
00:22:17.893 --> 00:22:19.895
Imagine. you've been through disappointments. you weren't
00:22:19.961 --> 00:22:21.663
Disappointments. you weren't able to have children, but if
00:22:21.730 --> 00:22:23.799
Able to have children, but if you only knew what i
00:22:23.865 --> 00:22:25.133
You only knew what i programmed you for. there's a
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:27.102
Programmed you for. there's a destiny gene about to open.
00:22:27.169 --> 00:22:29.704
Destiny gene about to open. nations are going to come out
00:22:29.771 --> 00:22:31.106
Nations are going to come out of you. royalty is shut up in
00:22:31.173 --> 00:22:33.542
Of you. royalty is shut up in your bones.”
00:22:33.608 --> 00:22:35.277
Your bones.” “well joel i don't think it's
00:22:35.343 --> 00:22:36.678
“well joel i don't think it's going to happen for me. i've
00:22:36.745 --> 00:22:38.013
Going to happen for me. i've had a lot of bad breaks.”
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:39.381
Had a lot of bad breaks.” sarah was barren for ninety
00:22:39.448 --> 00:22:40.649
Sarah was barren for ninety years. it's not too late.
00:22:40.715 --> 00:22:45.821
Years. it's not too late. what god started he's going
00:22:45.887 --> 00:22:47.422
What god started he's going to finish. sometimes we let
00:22:47.489 --> 00:22:49.958
To finish. sometimes we let our mistakes, guilt, “man, i
00:22:50.025 --> 00:22:51.827
Our mistakes, guilt, “man, i should have done better, i
00:22:51.893 --> 00:22:53.061
Should have done better, i missed my chance.” it didn't
00:22:53.128 --> 00:22:54.796
Missed my chance.” it didn't go away. god's calling on
00:22:54.863 --> 00:22:57.299
Go away. god's calling on your life is irrevocable. he
00:22:57.365 --> 00:22:59.768
Your life is irrevocable. he didn't change his mind. what
00:22:59.835 --> 00:23:01.770
Didn't change his mind. what he programmed into you before
