About this kindergarten teacher. she was trying to

Self-esteem. she said to her class, “anyone who feels like

Class, “anyone who feels like you're dumb, please stand
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:37.694
You're dumb, please stand up.” she didn't think anyone
00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:39.529
Up.” she didn't think anyone would stand and she would
00:00:39.596 --> 00:00:40.697
Would stand and she would make the point how no one is
00:00:40.763 --> 00:00:41.831

To do?” she said, “now johnny, do you really feel
00:00:47.937 --> 00:00:49.139
Johnny, do you really feel like you're dumb?” he said,
00:00:49.205 --> 00:00:50.673
Like you're dumb?” he said, “no ma'am, i just hate to see
00:00:50.740 --> 00:00:52.308
“no ma'am, i just hate to see you standing there all by
00:00:52.375 --> 00:00:53.443
You standing there all by yourself.”
00:00:53.510 --> 00:00:55.845
Yourself.” say it like you mean it. this
00:00:55.912 --> 00:00:57.447
Say it like you mean it. this is my bible. i am what it
00:00:57.514 --> 00:00:59.616
Is my bible. i am what it says i am. i have what it
00:00:59.682 --> 00:01:01.484
Says i am. i have what it says i have. i can do what it

Jesus' name. god bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:18.334 --> 00:01:19.402
I want to talk to you today about refusing negative
00:01:19.469 --> 00:01:21.404
About refusing negative seeds. we all have voices
00:01:21.471 --> 00:01:24.174
Seeds. we all have voices that are trying to keep us
00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:25.275
That are trying to keep us from our destiny. sometimes
00:01:25.341 --> 00:01:27.243
From our destiny. sometimes it's people, telling us what
00:01:27.310 --> 00:01:29.012
It's people, telling us what we can't become, how we're
00:01:29.078 --> 00:01:30.813
We can't become, how we're not going to accomplish the
00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:31.915
Not going to accomplish the dream. it may be experts,
00:01:31.981 --> 00:01:34.751
Dream. it may be experts, they have all the training,
00:01:34.817 --> 00:01:36.286
They have all the training, all the skills, they're
00:01:36.352 --> 00:01:37.854
All the skills, they're telling us the facts. medical
00:01:37.921 --> 00:01:39.789
Telling us the facts. medical science says you're not going
00:01:39.856 --> 00:01:40.857
Science says you're not going to get well. you don't have
00:01:40.924 --> 00:01:42.525
To get well. you don't have the qualifications for this
00:01:42.592 --> 00:01:43.927
The qualifications for this position. you watch the news
00:01:43.993 --> 00:01:46.362
Position. you watch the news and hear all comments about
00:01:46.429 --> 00:01:48.531
And hear all comments about the economy, inflation,
00:01:48.598 --> 00:01:50.767
The economy, inflation, division, viruses. this can
00:01:50.833 --> 00:01:53.469
Division, viruses. this can bring fear, worry, what's
00:01:53.536 --> 00:01:55.205
Bring fear, worry, what's going to happen. words are
00:01:55.271 --> 00:01:57.874
Going to happen. words are like seeds. if you dwell on
00:01:57.941 --> 00:01:59.876
Like seeds. if you dwell on them long enough, they'll
00:01:59.943 --> 00:02:01.311
Them long enough, they'll take root and become a
00:02:01.377 --> 00:02:02.645
Take root and become a reality. the good news is you
00:02:02.712 --> 00:02:05.481
Reality. the good news is you get to choose what gets
00:02:05.548 --> 00:02:07.083
Get to choose what gets planted in your soil. the
00:02:07.150 --> 00:02:09.419
Planted in your soil. the scripture says to guard your
00:02:09.485 --> 00:02:11.120
Scripture says to guard your mind. that's saying don't let
00:02:11.187 --> 00:02:13.456
Mind. that's saying don't let just any seed get in there.
00:02:13.523 --> 00:02:15.124
Just any seed get in there. be selective. if that seed is
00:02:15.191 --> 00:02:17.760
Be selective. if that seed is negative, discouraging,
00:02:17.827 --> 00:02:19.896
Negative, discouraging, bringing fear, pushing you
00:02:19.963 --> 00:02:21.564
Bringing fear, pushing you down, don't give it the time
00:02:21.631 --> 00:02:23.433
Down, don't give it the time of day. you need to say, “no
00:02:23.499 --> 00:02:25.201
Of day. you need to say, “no thanks, i refuse that seed.
00:02:25.268 --> 00:02:27.570
Thanks, i refuse that seed. i'm not letting that defeat
00:02:27.637 --> 00:02:29.038
I'm not letting that defeat take root in my soil.”
00:02:29.105 --> 00:02:31.040
Take root in my soil.” sometimes people don't
00:02:31.107 --> 00:02:32.108
Sometimes people don't realize they're doing it.
00:02:32.175 --> 00:02:33.810
Realize they're doing it. “i'm sorry about that
00:02:33.876 --> 00:02:34.844
“i'm sorry about that diagnosis, my grandmother
00:02:34.911 --> 00:02:36.646
Diagnosis, my grandmother died of the same thing. i
00:02:36.713 --> 00:02:38.348
Died of the same thing. i wouldn't take that new
00:02:38.414 --> 00:02:39.148
Wouldn't take that new position if i were you, it's
00:02:39.215 --> 00:02:40.550
Position if i were you, it's way over your head. are you
00:02:40.617 --> 00:02:42.485
Way over your head. are you still single? i don't know if
00:02:42.552 --> 00:02:44.087
Still single? i don't know if you're ever going to meet
00:02:44.153 --> 00:02:44.854
You're ever going to meet anyone.” do yourself a favor,
00:02:44.921 --> 00:02:46.923
Anyone.” do yourself a favor, let that go in one ear and
00:02:46.990 --> 00:02:48.758
Let that go in one ear and out the other. if you start
00:02:48.825 --> 00:02:51.027
Out the other. if you start dwelling on it. “what if i
00:02:51.094 --> 00:02:52.762
Dwelling on it. “what if i don't get well? maybe this is
00:02:52.829 --> 00:02:54.797
Don't get well? maybe this is over my head. i'm worried
00:02:54.864 --> 00:02:56.432
Over my head. i'm worried that i'm not going to meet
00:02:56.499 --> 00:02:57.333
That i'm not going to meet someone.” you're giving that
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.135
Someone.” you're giving that seed permission to become a
00:02:59.202 --> 00:03:01.137
Seed permission to become a reality. don't let the doubt
00:03:01.204 --> 00:03:03.573
Reality. don't let the doubt from other people keep you
00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:05.241
From other people keep you from your destiny. you have
00:03:05.308 --> 00:03:07.076
From your destiny. you have to tune out all the negative,
00:03:07.143 --> 00:03:09.045
To tune out all the negative, can't do it, not able, never
00:03:09.112 --> 00:03:11.281
Can't do it, not able, never going to happen, limiting
00:03:11.347 --> 00:03:12.882
Going to happen, limiting words. they may speak that,
00:03:12.949 --> 00:03:15.351
Words. they may speak that, but you don't have to receive
00:03:15.418 --> 00:03:16.552
But you don't have to receive it. if you don't dwell on it,
00:03:16.619 --> 00:03:18.588
It. if you don't dwell on it, those words will die
00:03:18.655 --> 00:03:19.722
Those words will die stillborn. they will have no
00:03:19.789 --> 00:03:21.391
Stillborn. they will have no effect on you.
00:03:21.457 --> 00:03:23.192
Effect on you. victoria and i were at a
00:03:23.259 --> 00:03:24.160
Victoria and i were at a restaurant one time. our son
00:03:24.227 --> 00:03:26.162
Restaurant one time. our son jonathan was six months old.
00:03:26.229 --> 00:03:28.364
Jonathan was six months old. he was laying in the little
00:03:28.431 --> 00:03:29.565
He was laying in the little carrier in the seat next to

Carrier in the seat next to me. about thirty minutes
00:03:31.634 --> 00:03:33.136
Me. about thirty minutes later, this older couple got
00:03:33.202 --> 00:03:34.804
Later, this older couple got up to leave. they came over
00:03:34.871 --> 00:03:36.606
Up to leave. they came over to our table. the lady said,
00:03:36.673 --> 00:03:38.841
To our table. the lady said, “we were just admiring your
00:03:38.908 --> 00:03:40.043
“we were just admiring your little baby. how good he is.
00:03:40.109 --> 00:03:42.779
Little baby. how good he is. how he just lies there so
00:03:42.845 --> 00:03:44.047
How he just lies there so peaceful and quiet.” we
00:03:44.113 --> 00:03:46.015
Peaceful and quiet.” we thanked them. then the
00:03:46.082 --> 00:03:47.450
Thanked them. then the husband said, “but just wait
00:03:47.517 --> 00:03:49.285
Husband said, “but just wait till he gets to be two years
00:03:49.352 --> 00:03:50.586
Till he gets to be two years old. he'll turn in to a
00:03:50.653 --> 00:03:52.288
Old. he'll turn in to a tyrant. you better enjoy it
00:03:52.355 --> 00:03:54.324
Tyrant. you better enjoy it now because he's going to be
00:03:54.390 --> 00:03:55.391
Now because he's going to be a lot of trouble. those
00:03:55.458 --> 00:03:56.759
A lot of trouble. those terrible twos are coming.” we
00:03:56.826 --> 00:03:59.195
Terrible twos are coming.” we just waved and said goodbye.
00:03:59.262 --> 00:04:00.596
Just waved and said goodbye. i thought, “don't let the
00:04:00.663 --> 00:04:01.564
I thought, “don't let the door hit you as you leave.”
00:04:01.631 --> 00:04:03.766
Door hit you as you leave.” something rose up in me. i
00:04:03.833 --> 00:04:05.601
Something rose up in me. i told victoria, “i don't
00:04:05.668 --> 00:04:07.003
Told victoria, “i don't receive that. he doesn't
00:04:07.070 --> 00:04:08.805
Receive that. he doesn't determine our future. his
00:04:08.871 --> 00:04:10.840
Determine our future. his opinion is not our reality.
00:04:10.907 --> 00:04:12.608
Opinion is not our reality. it's not going to be the
00:04:12.675 --> 00:04:14.077
It's not going to be the terrible twos, it's going to
00:04:14.143 --> 00:04:15.478
Terrible twos, it's going to be the terrific twos, the
00:04:15.545 --> 00:04:17.146
Be the terrific twos, the awesome threes, the fabulous
00:04:17.213 --> 00:04:18.948
Awesome threes, the fabulous fours.” don't get in
00:04:19.015 --> 00:04:20.917
Fours.” don't get in agreement with negative
00:04:20.983 --> 00:04:22.452
Agreement with negative things people speak over you.
00:04:22.518 --> 00:04:24.687
Things people speak over you. what they're saying may be
00:04:24.754 --> 00:04:26.189
What they're saying may be true for a lot of people, but
00:04:26.255 --> 00:04:28.124
True for a lot of people, but you're the exception. you're
00:04:28.191 --> 00:04:29.992
You're the exception. you're the one to have awesome
00:04:30.059 --> 00:04:31.160
The one to have awesome children. you're the one to
00:04:31.227 --> 00:04:33.129
Children. you're the one to get well when the medical
00:04:33.196 --> 00:04:34.597
Get well when the medical report says you won't.
00:04:34.664 --> 00:04:36.733
Report says you won't. david was seventeen years old
00:04:36.799 --> 00:04:38.768
David was seventeen years old when he heard goliath
00:04:38.835 --> 00:04:40.169
When he heard goliath taunting the israelites. this

The philistine army. none of the israelites dared to face
00:04:48.044 --> 00:04:49.612
The israelites dared to face him. when he came out
00:04:49.679 --> 00:04:51.080
Him. when he came out shouting his threats, they
00:04:51.147 --> 00:04:52.482
Shouting his threats, they all ran and hid. david was
00:04:52.548 --> 00:04:55.017
All ran and hid. david was half his size, he had no
00:04:55.084 --> 00:04:56.919
Half his size, he had no training, no armor, but he
00:04:56.986 --> 00:04:59.389

Him that he wanted to face goliath. saul said to david
00:05:02.592 --> 00:05:05.194
Goliath. saul said to david in 1 samuel 17, “david, don't
00:05:05.261 --> 00:05:07.830
In 1 samuel 17, “david, don't be ridiculous, you're just a
00:05:07.897 --> 00:05:09.766
Be ridiculous, you're just a boy. he's been a warrior
00:05:09.832 --> 00:05:12.034
Boy. he's been a warrior since he was a youth.” he was
00:05:12.101 --> 00:05:14.003
Since he was a youth.” he was saying, “david, what are you
00:05:14.070 --> 00:05:15.171
Saying, “david, what are you thinking? you don't have a
00:05:15.238 --> 00:05:16.672
Thinking? you don't have a chance. you're too small.
00:05:16.739 --> 00:05:19.075
Chance. you're too small. you're not qualified. this is
00:05:19.142 --> 00:05:20.610
You're not qualified. this is way over your head.” whenever
00:05:20.676 --> 00:05:23.246
Way over your head.” whenever you're on the verge of a new
00:05:23.312 --> 00:05:24.680
You're on the verge of a new level, negative seeds will
00:05:24.747 --> 00:05:26.682
Level, negative seeds will come to try to talk you out
00:05:26.749 --> 00:05:28.284
Come to try to talk you out of it. david had a choice, to
00:05:28.351 --> 00:05:31.354
Of it. david had a choice, to let those words take root.
00:05:31.421 --> 00:05:33.523
Let those words take root. “i'm just a boy. i'm not up
00:05:33.589 --> 00:05:35.391
“i'm just a boy. i'm not up to par. i can't do this.” or
00:05:35.458 --> 00:05:38.194
To par. i can't do this.” or was he going to guard his
00:05:38.261 --> 00:05:39.395
Was he going to guard his mind and not let the doubt,
00:05:39.462 --> 00:05:41.931
Mind and not let the doubt, the inferiority, the opinion
00:05:41.998 --> 00:05:44.066
The inferiority, the opinion of saul talk him out of his
00:05:44.133 --> 00:05:46.002
Of saul talk him out of his destiny. this was a defining
00:05:46.068 --> 00:05:48.671
Destiny. this was a defining moment. david could have
00:05:48.738 --> 00:05:50.473
Moment. david could have walked away, went back home.
00:05:50.540 --> 00:05:53.009
Walked away, went back home. he could have missed who god
00:05:53.075 --> 00:05:54.377
He could have missed who god created him to be had he not
00:05:54.444 --> 00:05:56.379
Created him to be had he not learned this principle.
00:05:56.446 --> 00:05:58.481
Learned this principle. we see david defeating
00:05:58.548 --> 00:05:59.882
We see david defeating goliath as the great victory,
00:05:59.949 --> 00:06:02.218
Goliath as the great victory, that's when god took him to a
00:06:02.285 --> 00:06:03.486
That's when god took him to a new level. but the real
00:06:03.553 --> 00:06:05.254
New level. but the real victory took place, when he
00:06:05.321 --> 00:06:07.056
Victory took place, when he didn't let saul's demeaning
00:06:07.123 --> 00:06:08.724
Didn't let saul's demeaning words keep him from stepping
00:06:08.791 --> 00:06:10.426
Words keep him from stepping up. had he not refused the
00:06:10.493 --> 00:06:12.628
Up. had he not refused the negative seeds, he would have
00:06:12.695 --> 00:06:14.497
Negative seeds, he would have never made it to goliath.
00:06:14.564 --> 00:06:16.833
Never made it to goliath. before you conquer your
00:06:16.899 --> 00:06:18.034
Before you conquer your giant, before you reach a new
00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:20.002
Giant, before you reach a new level, there will be a saul
00:06:20.069 --> 00:06:22.038
Level, there will be a saul trying to discourage you. a
00:06:22.104 --> 00:06:24.106
Trying to discourage you. a saul telling you, “you can't
00:06:24.173 --> 00:06:25.508
Saul telling you, “you can't get well. you can't start
00:06:25.575 --> 00:06:27.376
Get well. you can't start your business. you'll never
00:06:27.443 --> 00:06:29.045
Your business. you'll never break that addiction, you'll
00:06:29.111 --> 00:06:30.446
Break that addiction, you'll never meet the right person.”
00:06:30.513 --> 00:06:32.482
Never meet the right person.” your real victory is when you
00:06:32.548 --> 00:06:34.517
Your real victory is when you refuse the doubt, refuse what
00:06:34.584 --> 00:06:36.752
Refuse the doubt, refuse what the naysayers are telling
00:06:36.819 --> 00:06:37.920
The naysayers are telling you. you have to win the
00:06:37.987 --> 00:06:39.455
You. you have to win the battle in your mind, before
00:06:39.522 --> 00:06:41.557
Battle in your mind, before you'll defeat your giants.
00:06:41.624 --> 00:06:43.726
You'll defeat your giants. too many people get talked
00:06:43.793 --> 00:06:45.361
Too many people get talked out of ever seeing their
00:06:45.428 --> 00:06:46.496
Out of ever seeing their goliath because they listened
00:06:46.562 --> 00:06:48.164
Goliath because they listened to saul.
00:06:48.231 --> 00:06:49.899
To saul. you would think that saul
00:06:49.966 --> 00:06:50.967
You would think that saul would be excited that someone
00:06:51.033 --> 00:06:52.835
Would be excited that someone finally stepped up to fight
00:06:52.902 --> 00:06:54.804
Finally stepped up to fight goliath. he had been taunting
00:06:54.871 --> 00:06:56.572
Goliath. he had been taunting the israelites for forty
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.074
The israelites for forty days. now this young man
00:06:58.140 --> 00:07:00.042
Days. now this young man david had the courage to take
00:07:00.109 --> 00:07:01.711
David had the courage to take him on. surely saul would
00:07:01.777 --> 00:07:03.613
Him on. surely saul would say, “that's awesome david.
00:07:03.679 --> 00:07:05.281
Say, “that's awesome david. you can do this. we're all
00:07:05.348 --> 00:07:06.616
You can do this. we're all behind you.” when god puts
00:07:06.682 --> 00:07:09.252
Behind you.” when god puts big things in your heart,
00:07:09.318 --> 00:07:10.720
Big things in your heart, don't expect everyone to
00:07:10.786 --> 00:07:12.154
Don't expect everyone to cheer you on. don't expect
00:07:12.221 --> 00:07:14.190
Cheer you on. don't expect all your friends, all your
00:07:14.257 --> 00:07:15.725
All your friends, all your family, to encourage you and
00:07:15.791 --> 00:07:17.393
Family, to encourage you and tell you how great you are.
00:07:17.460 --> 00:07:19.161
Tell you how great you are. that's when the saul's will
00:07:19.228 --> 00:07:20.429
That's when the saul's will show up. people that cast
00:07:20.496 --> 00:07:22.565
Show up. people that cast negative seeds, try to get
00:07:22.632 --> 00:07:24.534
Negative seeds, try to get you to doubt, second guess
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.435
You to doubt, second guess yourself, discredit you, make
00:07:26.502 --> 00:07:29.005
Yourself, discredit you, make you feel small, like you
00:07:29.071 --> 00:07:30.373
You feel small, like you don't measure up. don't let
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.575
Don't measure up. don't let those seeds take root. people
00:07:32.642 --> 00:07:34.677
Those seeds take root. people don't determine your destiny,
00:07:34.744 --> 00:07:36.412
Don't determine your destiny, god does. when he called you,
00:07:36.479 --> 00:07:39.515
God does. when he called you, he didn't check with people.
00:07:39.582 --> 00:07:41.651
He didn't check with people. he didn't consult with your
00:07:41.717 --> 00:07:42.752
He didn't consult with your friends, your neighbors, your
00:07:42.818 --> 00:07:44.453
Friends, your neighbors, your boss, your family or your
00:07:44.520 --> 00:07:46.188
Boss, your family or your enemies to decide if they
00:07:46.255 --> 00:07:48.491
Enemies to decide if they think you can do it. are you
00:07:48.558 --> 00:07:50.259
Think you can do it. are you big enough, smart enough,
00:07:50.326 --> 00:07:51.494
Big enough, smart enough, talented enough? he put
00:07:51.561 --> 00:07:53.529
Talented enough? he put things in you that other
00:07:53.596 --> 00:07:54.931
Things in you that other people can't see. don't get
00:07:54.997 --> 00:07:57.400
People can't see. don't get upset with them if they think
00:07:57.466 --> 00:07:59.468
Upset with them if they think you can't do it. “you're just
00:07:59.535 --> 00:08:01.203
You can't do it. “you're just a boy. you don't come from
00:08:01.270 --> 00:08:02.572
A boy. you don't come from the right family.” they're
00:08:02.638 --> 00:08:04.407
The right family.” they're looking at the outside.
00:08:04.473 --> 00:08:06.242
Looking at the outside. they're judging from a human
00:08:06.309 --> 00:08:07.643
They're judging from a human point of view, but god has
00:08:07.710 --> 00:08:09.378
Point of view, but god has put things in you that will
00:08:09.445 --> 00:08:11.113
Put things in you that will defy the odds. his favor will
00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:13.816
Defy the odds. his favor will cause you to go places you
00:08:13.883 --> 00:08:15.418
Cause you to go places you could never go on your own.
00:08:15.484 --> 00:08:17.553
Could never go on your own. they may think, “all you have
00:08:17.620 --> 00:08:18.654
They may think, “all you have is a sling shot. you don't
00:08:18.721 --> 00:08:20.356
Is a sling shot. you don't have a chance.” what they
00:08:20.423 --> 00:08:22.158
Have a chance.” what they can't see is that sling shot
00:08:22.224 --> 00:08:24.527
Can't see is that sling shot with the blessing of god will
00:08:24.594 --> 00:08:26.128
With the blessing of god will bring down giants. “you're
00:08:26.195 --> 00:08:28.297
Bring down giants. “you're just a boy.” yes, but a boy
00:08:28.364 --> 00:08:30.333
Just a boy.” yes, but a boy with the favor of god can
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:31.867
With the favor of god can become the king of israel.
00:08:31.934 --> 00:08:34.003
Become the king of israel. god wouldn't have allowed the
00:08:34.070 --> 00:08:35.605
God wouldn't have allowed the giant if you weren't well
00:08:35.671 --> 00:08:37.440
Giant if you weren't well able to defeat it. the giant
00:08:37.506 --> 00:08:40.042
Able to defeat it. the giant is a sign that a new level is
00:08:40.109 --> 00:08:41.844
Is a sign that a new level is coming. but here's the key,
00:08:41.911 --> 00:08:43.846
Coming. but here's the key, before that happens, king
00:08:43.913 --> 00:08:45.815
Before that happens, king saul will show up. the real
00:08:45.881 --> 00:08:48.150
Saul will show up. the real test is not goliath, the real
00:08:48.217 --> 00:08:50.353
Test is not goliath, the real test is saul. the negative
00:08:50.419 --> 00:08:52.722
Test is saul. the negative words, the doubt, the fear,
00:08:52.788 --> 00:08:55.257
Words, the doubt, the fear, the insecurity, trying to get
00:08:55.324 --> 00:08:57.627
The insecurity, trying to get you to question yourself,
00:08:57.693 --> 00:08:59.528
You to question yourself, question whether you really
00:08:59.595 --> 00:09:00.596
Question whether you really heard god, question if you
00:09:00.663 --> 00:09:02.365
Heard god, question if you really have what it takes.
00:09:02.431 --> 00:09:04.200
Really have what it takes. dismiss the doubt. refuse
00:09:04.266 --> 00:09:06.402
Dismiss the doubt. refuse those negative seeds. you're
00:09:06.469 --> 00:09:08.404
Those negative seeds. you're at a defining moment. you're
00:09:08.471 --> 00:09:10.840
At a defining moment. you're on the verge of stepping up
00:09:10.906 --> 00:09:12.308
On the verge of stepping up to a new level, the verge of
00:09:12.375 --> 00:09:14.443
To a new level, the verge of seeing god do something
00:09:14.510 --> 00:09:15.645
Seeing god do something you've never seen. are you
00:09:15.711 --> 00:09:17.680
You've never seen. are you going to shrink back, let
00:09:17.747 --> 00:09:19.281
Going to shrink back, let people's opinions talk you
00:09:19.348 --> 00:09:20.683
People's opinions talk you out of it, let the fear , the
00:09:20.750 --> 00:09:23.052
Out of it, let the fear , the doubt, take root? or are you
00:09:23.119 --> 00:09:25.154
Doubt, take root? or are you going to do like david?
00:09:25.221 --> 00:09:26.455
Going to do like david? dismiss it and move forward
00:09:26.522 --> 00:09:28.524
Dismiss it and move forward in faith into the awesome
00:09:28.591 --> 00:09:30.359
In faith into the awesome future god has in store.
00:09:30.426 --> 00:09:33.396
Future god has in store. when my father passed in
00:09:33.462 --> 00:09:35.097
When my father passed in 1999, i had only ministered
00:09:35.164 --> 00:09:37.400
1999, i had only ministered one time. i'd worked behind
00:09:37.466 --> 00:09:39.402
One time. i'd worked behind the scenes for seventeen
00:09:39.468 --> 00:09:40.636
The scenes for seventeen years. i never wanted to be
00:09:40.703 --> 00:09:42.638
Years. i never wanted to be up in front of people. i
00:09:42.705 --> 00:09:44.173
Up in front of people. i liked being in the
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:45.241
Liked being in the background. but i knew i was
00:09:45.307 --> 00:09:47.309
Background. but i knew i was supposed to step up and
00:09:47.376 --> 00:09:48.577
Supposed to step up and pastor the church. it didn't
00:09:48.644 --> 00:09:50.613
Pastor the church. it didn't make sense to my mind. i
00:09:50.680 --> 00:09:52.481
Make sense to my mind. i didn't have the training, i
00:09:52.548 --> 00:09:54.417
Didn't have the training, i wasn't necessarily qualified;
00:09:54.483 --> 00:09:56.519
Wasn't necessarily qualified; i didn't have a big
00:09:56.585 --> 00:09:57.286
I didn't have a big personality like my father.
00:09:57.353 --> 00:09:59.455
Personality like my father. but i took that step of faith
00:09:59.522 --> 00:10:00.956
But i took that step of faith and started speaking on the
00:10:01.023 --> 00:10:02.692
And started speaking on the weekends. i was so nervous,
00:10:02.758 --> 00:10:05.194
Weekends. i was so nervous, so unsure of myself. i would
00:10:05.261 --> 00:10:07.930
So unsure of myself. i would finish one message, walk off
00:10:07.997 --> 00:10:09.899
Finish one message, walk off the platform, so relieved.
00:10:09.965 --> 00:10:12.034
The platform, so relieved. the thought would come, “what
00:10:12.101 --> 00:10:13.869
The thought would come, “what are you going to speak on
00:10:13.936 --> 00:10:14.570
Are you going to speak on next week? what if you have
00:10:14.637 --> 00:10:16.605
Next week? what if you have nothing to say? what if no
00:10:16.672 --> 00:10:18.507
Nothing to say? what if no one comes? what if people
00:10:18.574 --> 00:10:20.309
One comes? what if people don't like you? what if the
00:10:20.376 --> 00:10:21.877
Don't like you? what if the church goes down?” the enemy
00:10:21.944 --> 00:10:24.480
Church goes down?” the enemy loves to bring the what ifs.
00:10:24.547 --> 00:10:27.016
Loves to bring the what ifs. have you noticed, it's always
00:10:27.083 --> 00:10:28.451
Have you noticed, it's always the worst-case scenarios.
00:10:28.517 --> 00:10:30.519
The worst-case scenarios. “what if that pain in your
00:10:30.586 --> 00:10:31.721
“what if that pain in your little toe is cancer, what if
00:10:31.787 --> 00:10:33.956
Little toe is cancer, what if your company lays you off and
00:10:34.023 --> 00:10:35.725
Your company lays you off and you can't pay your bills,
00:10:35.791 --> 00:10:37.326
You can't pay your bills, what if your child doesn't
00:10:37.393 --> 00:10:38.828
What if your child doesn't pass that class.” these
00:10:38.894 --> 00:10:40.096
Pass that class.” these negative seeds that cause
00:10:40.162 --> 00:10:41.330
Negative seeds that cause worry, anxiety, where you
00:10:41.397 --> 00:10:43.733
Worry, anxiety, where you can't really enjoy your life.
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:45.968
Can't really enjoy your life. instead of letting them take
00:10:46.035 --> 00:10:47.136
Instead of letting them take root, why don't you turn the
00:10:47.203 --> 00:10:48.804
Root, why don't you turn the what ifs around and dwell on
00:10:48.871 --> 00:10:50.673
What ifs around and dwell on the best-case scenarios.
00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:52.708
The best-case scenarios. dwell on something hopeful,
00:10:52.775 --> 00:10:54.410
Dwell on something hopeful, something that builds your
00:10:54.477 --> 00:10:56.512
Something that builds your faith. “what if no one
00:10:56.579 --> 00:10:57.213
Faith. “what if no one comes?” “what if the church
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:58.547
Comes?” “what if the church explodes?” “what if you never
00:10:58.614 --> 00:11:00.649
Explodes?” “what if you never get well?” “what if you
00:11:00.716 --> 00:11:02.017
Get well?” “what if you recover and feel better than
00:11:02.084 --> 00:11:03.252
Recover and feel better than ever?” “what if your child
00:11:03.319 --> 00:11:05.254
Ever?” “what if your child doesn't pass?” “what if he
00:11:05.321 --> 00:11:06.555
Doesn't pass?” “what if he makes the honor roll?” what
00:11:06.622 --> 00:11:08.324
Makes the honor roll?” what if you never meet anyone?”
00:11:08.390 --> 00:11:09.959
If you never meet anyone?” “what if they show up this
00:11:10.025 --> 00:11:11.093
“what if they show up this week?” “what if you get laid
00:11:11.160 --> 00:11:13.229
Week?” “what if you get laid off?” “what if you get a
00:11:13.295 --> 00:11:14.363
Off?” “what if you get a promotion? what if you start
00:11:14.430 --> 00:11:16.165
Promotion? what if you start your own business? what if
00:11:16.232 --> 00:11:16.999
Your own business? what if you step into abundance and
00:11:17.066 --> 00:11:19.168
You step into abundance and favor that you've never
00:11:19.235 --> 00:11:20.369
Favor that you've never seen?” quit letting the
00:11:20.436 --> 00:11:22.605
Seen?” quit letting the negative play in your mind.
00:11:22.671 --> 00:11:25.241
Negative play in your mind. you choose which seeds get
00:11:25.307 --> 00:11:27.243
You choose which seeds get planted in your soil. you
00:11:27.309 --> 00:11:29.078
Planted in your soil. you have to take control of your
00:11:29.145 --> 00:11:30.579
Have to take control of your thought life.
00:11:30.646 --> 00:11:32.014
Thought life. a few weeks after i started
00:11:32.081 --> 00:11:33.082
A few weeks after i started ministering, i was in the
00:11:33.149 --> 00:11:34.517
Ministering, i was in the front lobby after the
00:11:34.583 --> 00:11:35.684
Front lobby after the service. i had just come off
00:11:35.751 --> 00:11:37.453
Service. i had just come off the platform, i was walking
00:11:37.520 --> 00:11:39.321
The platform, i was walking behind these two ladies. they
00:11:39.388 --> 00:11:41.490
Behind these two ladies. they didn't know i was there. i
00:11:41.557 --> 00:11:43.125
Didn't know i was there. i overheard them talking. one
00:11:43.192 --> 00:11:45.294
Overheard them talking. one said, “he's not as good as
00:11:45.361 --> 00:11:46.896
Said, “he's not as good as his father.” the other
00:11:46.962 --> 00:11:48.531
His father.” the other answered back, “yeah, i don't
00:11:48.597 --> 00:11:50.032
Answered back, “yeah, i don't think the church is going to
00:11:50.099 --> 00:11:51.000
Think the church is going to make it.” i was already
00:11:51.066 --> 00:11:53.169
Make it.” i was already insecure, worried about what
00:11:53.235 --> 00:11:55.237
Insecure, worried about what people thought, wondering was
00:11:55.304 --> 00:11:56.806
People thought, wondering was i good enough. that was like
00:11:56.872 --> 00:11:58.707
I good enough. that was like the worst thing that could
00:11:58.774 --> 00:12:00.042
The worst thing that could have happened. when i heard
00:12:00.109 --> 00:12:01.644
Have happened. when i heard that, i felt fear shoot
00:12:01.710 --> 00:12:03.312
That, i felt fear shoot through my body, almost like
00:12:03.379 --> 00:12:04.713
Through my body, almost like a panic. “oh no it's not
00:12:04.780 --> 00:12:06.682
A panic. “oh no it's not going to work out. i don't
00:12:06.749 --> 00:12:08.083
Going to work out. i don't have what it takes.” as i was
00:12:08.150 --> 00:12:10.219
Have what it takes.” as i was processing it all, something
00:12:10.286 --> 00:12:12.321
Processing it all, something rose up in me, like waking up
00:12:12.388 --> 00:12:14.557
Rose up in me, like waking up a sleeping lion. i felt a
00:12:14.623 --> 00:12:16.492
A sleeping lion. i felt a boldness, a confidence, a
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.727
Boldness, a confidence, a power that i had never felt
00:12:18.794 --> 00:12:20.396
Power that i had never felt before. i thought to myself,
00:12:20.462 --> 00:12:23.732
Before. i thought to myself, “you ladies don't know who i
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:25.201
“you ladies don't know who i am, and you don't know what
00:12:25.267 --> 00:12:27.069
Am, and you don't know what god put in me. you weren't
00:12:27.136 --> 00:12:28.838
God put in me. you weren't there when he formed me in my
00:12:28.904 --> 00:12:30.573
There when he formed me in my mother's womb. you weren't
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.241
Mother's womb. you weren't there when he called me,
00:12:32.308 --> 00:12:33.275
There when he called me, anointed me, and empowered
00:12:33.342 --> 00:12:35.010
Anointed me, and empowered me. you weren't there when he
00:12:35.077 --> 00:12:38.013
Me. you weren't there when he crowned me with his favor.
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:39.114
Crowned me with his favor. you may not think i can do
00:12:39.181 --> 00:12:42.351
You may not think i can do it, but i don't need your
00:12:42.418 --> 00:12:43.886
It, but i don't need your approval. you don't think i
00:12:43.953 --> 00:12:45.788
Approval. you don't think i have what it takes, that i'm
00:12:45.855 --> 00:12:46.789
Have what it takes, that i'm just a boy, but there's a
00:12:46.856 --> 00:12:48.190
Just a boy, but there's a sling shot you can't see.
00:12:48.257 --> 00:12:50.125
Sling shot you can't see. there's a giant that's about
00:12:50.192 --> 00:12:51.493
There's a giant that's about to come down.
00:12:51.560 --> 00:12:53.195
To come down. i was at a destiny moment. if
00:12:53.262 --> 00:12:56.098
I was at a destiny moment. if i would have let their seeds
00:12:56.165 --> 00:12:57.399
I would have let their seeds take root, i would have
00:12:57.466 --> 00:12:58.801
Take root, i would have talked myself out it. if i
00:12:58.868 --> 00:13:00.236
Talked myself out it. if i would have kept dwelling on
00:13:00.302 --> 00:13:01.737
Would have kept dwelling on that, “you're not like your
00:13:01.804 --> 00:13:02.838
That, “you're not like your father, you're not good
00:13:02.905 --> 00:13:04.139
Father, you're not good enough, it's not going to
00:13:04.206 --> 00:13:05.207
Enough, it's not going to last,” i wouldn't be up here
00:13:05.274 --> 00:13:06.809
Last,” i wouldn't be up here today. i was on the verge of
00:13:06.876 --> 00:13:09.311
Today. i was on the verge of a new level of my destiny.
00:13:09.378 --> 00:13:11.714
A new level of my destiny. getting the compaq center
00:13:11.780 --> 00:13:13.082
Getting the compaq center wasn't the real battle. the
00:13:13.148 --> 00:13:14.884
Wasn't the real battle. the real battle was not letting
00:13:14.950 --> 00:13:16.485
Real battle was not letting those two women convince me
00:13:16.552 --> 00:13:18.454
Those two women convince me that i didn't have what it
00:13:18.520 --> 00:13:19.555
That i didn't have what it takes. i look back now and
00:13:19.622 --> 00:13:22.124
Takes. i look back now and think, how did i not let them
00:13:22.191 --> 00:13:24.059
Think, how did i not let them discourage me? i was so
00:13:24.126 --> 00:13:25.561
Discourage me? i was so unsure of myself. in those
00:13:25.628 --> 00:13:27.830
Unsure of myself. in those destiny moments, the grace of
00:13:27.897 --> 00:13:29.798
Destiny moments, the grace of god will always be there to
00:13:29.865 --> 00:13:31.667
God will always be there to empower you. the scripture
00:13:31.734 --> 00:13:33.769
Empower you. the scripture says, “when the enemy comes
00:13:33.836 --> 00:13:35.404
Says, “when the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit
00:13:35.471 --> 00:13:37.039
In like a flood, the spirit of god will raise up a
00:13:37.106 --> 00:13:38.240
Of god will raise up a barrier.”
00:13:38.307 --> 00:13:39.675
Barrier.” it wasn't a coincidence that
00:13:39.742 --> 00:13:41.710
It wasn't a coincidence that out of the thousands of
00:13:41.777 --> 00:13:42.778
Out of the thousands of people at church that
00:13:42.845 --> 00:13:44.013
People at church that morning, i just so happened
00:13:44.079 --> 00:13:46.482
Morning, i just so happened to walk behind those two
00:13:46.548 --> 00:13:47.549
To walk behind those two ladies. i could have walked
00:13:47.616 --> 00:13:49.351
Ladies. i could have walked behind someone saying, “that
00:13:49.418 --> 00:13:50.486
Behind someone saying, “that was great today. i sure
00:13:50.552 --> 00:13:51.654
Was great today. i sure enjoyed it.” that was a test.
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:54.757
Enjoyed it.” that was a test. before you accomplish the
00:13:54.823 --> 00:13:56.091
Before you accomplish the dream, the enemy will make
00:13:56.158 --> 00:13:57.927
Dream, the enemy will make sure there will be negative
00:13:57.993 --> 00:13:59.561
Sure there will be negative seeds. before your health
00:13:59.628 --> 00:14:01.397
Seeds. before your health turns around, before your
00:14:01.463 --> 00:14:03.299
Turns around, before your child gets back on course,
00:14:03.365 --> 00:14:05.034
Child gets back on course, before you break that
00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:06.001
Before you break that addiction, these seeds of
00:14:06.068 --> 00:14:07.870
Addiction, these seeds of doubt, discouragement, can't
00:14:07.937 --> 00:14:10.406
Doubt, discouragement, can't do it, not good enough, never
00:14:10.472 --> 00:14:12.308
Do it, not good enough, never going to happen. don't
00:14:12.374 --> 00:14:13.909
Going to happen. don't believe those lies. turn it
00:14:13.976 --> 00:14:15.711
Believe those lies. turn it around and declare what god
00:14:15.778 --> 00:14:17.579
Around and declare what god says about you. when thoughts
00:14:17.646 --> 00:14:19.748
Says about you. when thoughts tell you you've seen your
00:14:19.815 --> 00:14:20.683
Tell you you've seen your best days, nothing good is in
00:14:20.749 --> 00:14:22.718
Best days, nothing good is in your future. “father, you
00:14:22.785 --> 00:14:24.286
Your future. “father, you said my latter days will be
00:14:24.353 --> 00:14:26.188
Said my latter days will be better than my former days.
00:14:26.255 --> 00:14:27.923
Better than my former days. you said the path of the
00:14:27.990 --> 00:14:29.058
You said the path of the righteous gets brighter and
00:14:29.124 --> 00:14:30.359
Righteous gets brighter and brighter.” “your children
00:14:30.426 --> 00:14:32.227
Brighter.” “your children will never get back on
00:14:32.294 --> 00:14:33.495
Will never get back on course. just accept.” “no as
00:14:33.562 --> 00:14:35.431
Course. just accept.” “no as for me and my house we will
00:14:35.497 --> 00:14:37.166
For me and my house we will serve the lord. father, thank
00:14:37.232 --> 00:14:38.801
Serve the lord. father, thank you that my children are
00:14:38.867 --> 00:14:39.768
You that my children are mighty in the land.” “you're
00:14:39.835 --> 00:14:42.171
Mighty in the land.” “you're never going to have that
00:14:42.237 --> 00:14:43.072
Never going to have that baby. you've been trying for
00:14:43.138 --> 00:14:45.174
Baby. you've been trying for so many years.” “father, you
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:46.809
So many years.” “father, you said in psalms that you would
00:14:46.875 --> 00:14:48.444
Said in psalms that you would make me the happy mother of
00:14:48.510 --> 00:14:49.778
Make me the happy mother of children. lord, i thank you
00:14:49.845 --> 00:14:51.480
Children. lord, i thank you that my baby is on the way.”
00:14:51.547 --> 00:14:53.015
That my baby is on the way.” in mark 5, jesus was walking
00:14:53.082 --> 00:14:55.517
By the shore. a man named
00:14:56.151 --> 00:14:58.120
Jairus, came and fell at his
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.155
Feet. he said, “jesus, my
00:15:00.155 --> 00:15:02.057
Little girl is very sick.
00:15:02.124 --> 00:15:04.059
Little girl is very sick. she's about to die. please
00:15:04.126 --> 00:15:05.794
She's about to die. please come to my house and pray for
00:15:05.861 --> 00:15:07.296
Come to my house and pray for her.” jesus said that he
00:15:07.363 --> 00:15:09.164
Her.” jesus said that he would, but along the way he
00:15:09.231 --> 00:15:11.033
Would, but along the way he kept getting delayed. that's
00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:13.002
Kept getting delayed. that's when the woman with the issue
00:15:13.068 --> 00:15:14.536
When the woman with the issue of blood came up and touched
00:15:14.603 --> 00:15:15.404
Of blood came up and touched the edge of his robe. she was
00:15:15.471 --> 00:15:17.172
The edge of his robe. she was healed. jesus stopped and
00:15:17.239 --> 00:15:19.241
Healed. jesus stopped and talked with her. all this
00:15:19.308 --> 00:15:21.110
Talked with her. all this time, jairus was thinking,
00:15:21.176 --> 00:15:22.811
Time, jairus was thinking, “please hurry. we don't have
00:15:22.878 --> 00:15:24.546
“please hurry. we don't have a lot of time.” about that
00:15:24.613 --> 00:15:26.849
A lot of time.” about that time, these messengers came
00:15:26.915 --> 00:15:28.350
Time, these messengers came to jairus saying, “we're so
00:15:28.417 --> 00:15:30.519
To jairus saying, “we're so sorry, but your little girl
00:15:30.586 --> 00:15:32.488
Sorry, but your little girl has died. there's no use
00:15:32.554 --> 00:15:34.356
Has died. there's no use bothering jesus anymore.” the
00:15:34.423 --> 00:15:36.925
Bothering jesus anymore.” the scripture says, “jesus
00:15:36.992 --> 00:15:38.527
Scripture says, “jesus overheard what the messengers
00:15:38.594 --> 00:15:40.362
Overheard what the messengers said, but he ignored their
00:15:40.429 --> 00:15:42.398
Said, but he ignored their comments.” notice the
00:15:42.464 --> 00:15:44.400
Comments.” notice the principle, you may overhear
00:15:44.466 --> 00:15:46.368
Principle, you may overhear some negative words, overhear
00:15:46.435 --> 00:15:48.537
Some negative words, overhear negative reports, but you
00:15:48.604 --> 00:15:50.172
Negative reports, but you have to learn to ignore them.
00:15:50.239 --> 00:15:52.808
Have to learn to ignore them. don't dwell on it. you're not
00:15:52.875 --> 00:15:54.610
Don't dwell on it. you're not denying the problem, you're
00:15:54.676 --> 00:15:56.378
Denying the problem, you're not acting like it doesn't
00:15:56.445 --> 00:15:57.513
Not acting like it doesn't exist, but you're not letting
00:15:57.579 --> 00:15:59.515
Exist, but you're not letting it take root. you can't have
00:15:59.581 --> 00:16:01.850
It take root. you can't have faith if there's doubt and
00:16:01.917 --> 00:16:03.452
Faith if there's doubt and fear and worried about this
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:05.454
Fear and worried about this medical report and, “joel,
00:16:05.521 --> 00:16:07.122
Medical report and, “joel, the experts say it's not
00:16:07.189 --> 00:16:08.590
The experts say it's not going to work out.”
00:16:08.657 --> 00:16:10.325
Going to work out.” sometimes, take this in the
00:16:10.392 --> 00:16:11.927
Sometimes, take this in the right sense, you have to turn
00:16:11.994 --> 00:16:13.695
Right sense, you have to turn your mind off. lean not to
00:16:13.762 --> 00:16:16.331
Your mind off. lean not to your own understanding. yes,
00:16:16.398 --> 00:16:18.367
Your own understanding. yes, use common sense but there
00:16:18.434 --> 00:16:20.035
Use common sense but there are things we face where
00:16:20.102 --> 00:16:21.770
Are things we face where there is no solution in the
00:16:21.837 --> 00:16:23.405
There is no solution in the natural. if you try to figure
00:16:23.472 --> 00:16:25.641
Natural. if you try to figure it out, you're going to get
00:16:25.707 --> 00:16:26.775
It out, you're going to get confused, discouraged and
00:16:26.842 --> 00:16:28.844
Confused, discouraged and talk yourself out of it. you
00:16:28.911 --> 00:16:30.846
Talk yourself out of it. you can't stop that you heard it
00:16:30.913 --> 00:16:32.414
Can't stop that you heard it but take the next step and
00:16:32.481 --> 00:16:33.682
But take the next step and ignore it. don't dwell on it.
00:16:33.749 --> 00:16:36.018
Ignore it. don't dwell on it. jesus went in, prayed for the
00:16:36.085 --> 00:16:37.920
Jesus went in, prayed for the little girl and she came back
00:16:37.986 --> 00:16:39.655
Little girl and she came back to life. a great miracle.
00:16:39.721 --> 00:16:42.758
To life. a great miracle. there may be things in your
00:16:42.825 --> 00:16:43.926
There may be things in your life that look dead. every
00:16:43.992 --> 00:16:46.528
Life that look dead. every circumstance says, “it's too
00:16:46.595 --> 00:16:47.830
Circumstance says, “it's too late. you're never going to
00:16:47.896 --> 00:16:49.565
Late. you're never going to get well, never accomplish
00:16:49.631 --> 00:16:51.667
Get well, never accomplish your dream, never see your
00:16:51.733 --> 00:16:53.368
Your dream, never see your family restored.” but god has
00:16:53.435 --> 00:16:56.038
Family restored.” but god has the final say. when you
00:16:56.105 --> 00:16:57.906
The final say. when you believe all things are
00:16:57.973 --> 00:16:59.374
Believe all things are possible. don't give those
00:16:59.441 --> 00:17:01.243
Possible. don't give those negative seeds any room in
00:17:01.310 --> 00:17:03.278
Negative seeds any room in your soil. when you're in a
00:17:03.345 --> 00:17:04.947
Your soil. when you're in a battle, when you're up
00:17:05.013 --> 00:17:06.482
Battle, when you're up against those giants, you
00:17:06.548 --> 00:17:08.283
Against those giants, you need your heart filled with
00:17:08.350 --> 00:17:09.518
Need your heart filled with hope, with faith, knowing
00:17:09.585 --> 00:17:11.520
Hope, with faith, knowing that god is bigger, knowing
00:17:11.587 --> 00:17:13.489
That god is bigger, knowing that he's fighting your
00:17:13.555 --> 00:17:14.323
That he's fighting your battles, that he's making
00:17:14.389 --> 00:17:15.724
Battles, that he's making ways where you don't see a
00:17:15.791 --> 00:17:17.126
Ways where you don't see a way.
00:17:17.192 --> 00:17:18.393
Way. see, the messenger said it
00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:19.828
See, the messenger said it was too late, but they were
00:17:19.895 --> 00:17:21.363
Was too late, but they were wrong. the little girl was
00:17:21.430 --> 00:17:23.031
Wrong. the little girl was healed. saul said, “david
00:17:23.098 --> 00:17:25.033
Healed. saul said, “david you're just a boy. you can't
00:17:25.100 --> 00:17:26.401
You're just a boy. you can't defeat goliath.” but saul was
00:17:26.468 --> 00:17:28.370
Defeat goliath.” but saul was wrong. david won. those two
00:17:28.437 --> 00:17:30.772
Wrong. david won. those two ladies said that i couldn't
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:31.974
Ladies said that i couldn't minister, but they were
00:17:32.040 --> 00:17:33.041
Minister, but they were wrong. here i am. the experts
00:17:33.108 --> 00:17:35.644
Wrong. here i am. the experts told my mother that she had
00:17:35.711 --> 00:17:37.246
Told my mother that she had terminal cancer, a few weeks
00:17:37.312 --> 00:17:39.081
Terminal cancer, a few weeks to live, but they were wrong.
00:17:39.148 --> 00:17:41.316
To live, but they were wrong. forty-two years later, she's
00:17:41.383 --> 00:17:42.718
Forty-two years later, she's still alive. people told us
00:17:42.784 --> 00:17:46.121
Still alive. people told us we'd never get the compaq
00:17:46.188 --> 00:17:47.556
We'd never get the compaq center. the city would never
00:17:47.623 --> 00:17:49.458
Center. the city would never let a church have it, but
00:17:49.525 --> 00:17:50.859
Let a church have it, but they were wrong. here's my
00:17:50.926 --> 00:17:52.628
They were wrong. here's my point, in each of these
00:17:52.694 --> 00:17:54.563
Point, in each of these situations if the people
00:17:54.630 --> 00:17:56.765
Situations if the people would have let the negative
00:17:56.832 --> 00:17:57.966
Would have let the negative seeds take root, then what
00:17:58.033 --> 00:18:00.002
Seeds take root, then what the others were saying would
00:18:00.068 --> 00:18:01.537
The others were saying would have been true. david
00:18:01.603 --> 00:18:03.605
Have been true. david wouldn't have defeated
00:18:03.672 --> 00:18:04.406
Wouldn't have defeated goliath. jairus daughter
00:18:04.473 --> 00:18:06.108
Goliath. jairus daughter would have died. my mother
00:18:06.175 --> 00:18:07.442
Would have died. my mother wouldn't have been healed. i
00:18:07.509 --> 00:18:08.577
Wouldn't have been healed. i wouldn't have become a
00:18:08.644 --> 00:18:09.311
Wouldn't have become a minister. the determining
00:18:09.378 --> 00:18:11.680
Minister. the determining factor wasn't what other
00:18:11.747 --> 00:18:13.749
Factor wasn't what other people said, it's whether we
00:18:13.815 --> 00:18:15.684
People said, it's whether we let it take root. we control
00:18:15.751 --> 00:18:18.320
Let it take root. we control what we allow in our soil.
00:18:18.387 --> 00:18:20.489
What we allow in our soil. i'm asking you to refuse the
00:18:20.556 --> 00:18:22.491
I'm asking you to refuse the negative seeds, refuse the
00:18:22.558 --> 00:18:24.493
Negative seeds, refuse the doubt, refuse the fear,
00:18:24.560 --> 00:18:26.695
Doubt, refuse the fear, refuse limitations that
00:18:26.762 --> 00:18:28.564
Refuse limitations that people put on you.
00:18:28.630 --> 00:18:30.532
People put on you. doctors tell us what medical
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:32.034
Doctors tell us what medical science says. they give us a
00:18:32.100 --> 00:18:33.869
Science says. they give us a diagnosis based on skill and
00:18:33.936 --> 00:18:36.071
Diagnosis based on skill and expertise and training. they
00:18:36.138 --> 00:18:38.207
Expertise and training. they help us to get well but at
00:18:38.273 --> 00:18:40.108
Help us to get well but at times they come to
00:18:40.175 --> 00:18:41.443
Times they come to limitations. there's nothing
00:18:41.510 --> 00:18:43.312
Limitations. there's nothing more they can do medically
00:18:43.378 --> 00:18:44.813
More they can do medically speaking. while we respect
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:46.915
Speaking. while we respect the diagnosis, that's one
00:18:46.982 --> 00:18:48.817
The diagnosis, that's one report, but there's another
00:18:48.884 --> 00:18:50.652
Report, but there's another report from the god who
00:18:50.719 --> 00:18:52.087
Report from the god who created you, from the god who
00:18:52.154 --> 00:18:53.956
Created you, from the god who made you in his own image,
00:18:54.022 --> 00:18:55.591
Made you in his own image, from the god who knew you
00:18:55.657 --> 00:18:56.959
From the god who knew you before you were formed in
00:18:57.025 --> 00:18:58.527
Before you were formed in your mother's womb. he's
00:18:58.594 --> 00:19:00.162
Your mother's womb. he's called jehovah rapha, the
00:19:00.229 --> 00:19:02.164
Called jehovah rapha, the lord your healer. isaiah
00:19:02.231 --> 00:19:04.233
Lord your healer. isaiah said, “who will believe the
00:19:04.299 --> 00:19:06.268
Said, “who will believe the report of the lord.” in life,
00:19:06.335 --> 00:19:09.238
Report of the lord.” in life, we have different reports.
00:19:09.304 --> 00:19:10.939
We have different reports. here's the medical report.
00:19:11.006 --> 00:19:12.808
Here's the medical report. here's my financial report.
00:19:12.874 --> 00:19:14.776
Here's my financial report. here's what king saul says.
00:19:14.843 --> 00:19:16.845
Here's what king saul says. here's what those two jerks,
00:19:16.912 --> 00:19:18.080
Here's what those two jerks, i mean those two ladies said.
00:19:18.146 --> 00:19:19.881
I mean those two ladies said. no, we get to choose which
00:19:19.948 --> 00:19:22.351
No, we get to choose which report are we going to
00:19:22.417 --> 00:19:23.352
Report are we going to believe. “he'll never be as
00:19:23.418 --> 00:19:25.320
Believe. “he'll never be as good as his father.” but
00:19:25.387 --> 00:19:26.722
Good as his father.” but there's another report. “i
00:19:26.788 --> 00:19:28.323
There's another report. “i can do all things through
00:19:28.390 --> 00:19:30.359
Can do all things through christ. i am strong in the
00:19:30.425 --> 00:19:31.960
Christ. i am strong in the lord. god being for me, is
00:19:32.027 --> 00:19:34.229
Lord. god being for me, is more than the world being
00:19:34.296 --> 00:19:35.230
More than the world being against me.” why don't you
00:19:35.297 --> 00:19:36.965
Against me.” why don't you choose the report of the
00:19:37.032 --> 00:19:38.267
Choose the report of the lord? “you're not going to
00:19:38.333 --> 00:19:39.935
Lord? “you're not going to get well. that sickness is
00:19:40.002 --> 00:19:41.637
Get well. that sickness is permanent. learn to live with
00:19:41.703 --> 00:19:43.338
Permanent. learn to live with it.” there's another report.
00:19:43.405 --> 00:19:45.040
It.” there's another report. “god is restoring health back
00:19:45.107 --> 00:19:46.575
“god is restoring health back unto me. i will live and not
00:19:46.642 --> 00:19:48.644
Unto me. i will live and not die. with long life god will
00:19:48.710 --> 00:19:50.679
Die. with long life god will satisfy me.”
00:19:50.746 --> 00:19:52.748
Satisfy me.” i talked to a woman that was
00:19:52.814 --> 00:19:54.349
I talked to a woman that was pregnant with triplets.
00:19:54.416 --> 00:19:56.285
Pregnant with triplets. because of some other
00:19:56.351 --> 00:19:57.152
Because of some other complications, it was
00:19:57.219 --> 00:19:58.587
Complications, it was considered a very high-risk
00:19:58.654 --> 00:20:00.555
Considered a very high-risk pregnancy. they sent her to
00:20:00.622 --> 00:20:02.457
Pregnancy. they sent her to group of doctors that
00:20:02.524 --> 00:20:03.492
Group of doctors that specialized in this. she was
00:20:03.558 --> 00:20:05.627
Specialized in this. she was told that she would be
00:20:05.694 --> 00:20:06.962
Told that she would be bedridden after three months
00:20:07.029 --> 00:20:08.530
Bedridden after three months of pregnancy, and that the
00:20:08.597 --> 00:20:10.132
Of pregnancy, and that the babies would be born at least
00:20:10.198 --> 00:20:12.000
Babies would be born at least four months prematurely. they
00:20:12.067 --> 00:20:14.002
Four months prematurely. they had seen this happen again
00:20:14.069 --> 00:20:15.537
Had seen this happen again and again. she was respectful
00:20:15.604 --> 00:20:18.573
And again. she was respectful but she didn't let that seed
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:20.008
But she didn't let that seed take root. she told the
00:20:20.075 --> 00:20:21.843
Take root. she told the doctors that she was going to
00:20:21.910 --> 00:20:23.512
Doctors that she was going to be the exception. that her
00:20:23.578 --> 00:20:25.314
Be the exception. that her babies were going to be born
00:20:25.380 --> 00:20:27.149
Babies were going to be born full term and she was not
00:20:27.215 --> 00:20:29.117
Full term and she was not going to be bedridden. they
00:20:29.184 --> 00:20:31.019
Going to be bedridden. they looked at her like yeah
00:20:31.086 --> 00:20:31.920
Looked at her like yeah right. at one point, the main
00:20:31.987 --> 00:20:34.456
Right. at one point, the main doctor said, “you're going to
00:20:34.523 --> 00:20:35.991
Doctor said, “you're going to get gestational diabetes.”
00:20:36.058 --> 00:20:38.960
Get gestational diabetes.” something that occurs during
00:20:39.027 --> 00:20:40.329
Something that occurs during pregnancy that can lead to
00:20:40.395 --> 00:20:42.097
Pregnancy that can lead to long term diabetes. he said,
00:20:42.164 --> 00:20:44.399
Long term diabetes. he said, “it's not if you get it, it's
00:20:44.466 --> 00:20:46.234
“it's not if you get it, it's when you get it. you have all
00:20:46.301 --> 00:20:48.203
When you get it. you have all the signs. it's just a matter
00:20:48.270 --> 00:20:50.005
The signs. it's just a matter of time.” she asked the
00:20:50.072 --> 00:20:52.007
Of time.” she asked the doctor very politely to not
00:20:52.074 --> 00:20:54.242
Doctor very politely to not pronounce things over her
00:20:54.309 --> 00:20:56.044
Pronounce things over her that have not yet happened.
00:20:56.111 --> 00:20:57.879
That have not yet happened. she said, “i'd prefer you to
00:20:57.946 --> 00:20:59.348
She said, “i'd prefer you to say, the statistics indicate
00:20:59.414 --> 00:21:02.751
Say, the statistics indicate you will get gestational
00:21:02.818 --> 00:21:03.952
You will get gestational diabetes.” she didn't want
00:21:04.019 --> 00:21:05.754
Diabetes.” she didn't want that defeat being spoken over
00:21:05.821 --> 00:21:07.789
That defeat being spoken over her. you can't always keep it
00:21:07.856 --> 00:21:09.725
Her. you can't always keep it from coming but you don't
00:21:09.791 --> 00:21:11.059
From coming but you don't have to let it take root.
00:21:11.126 --> 00:21:12.961
Have to let it take root. they thought she was kind of
00:21:13.028 --> 00:21:14.229
They thought she was kind of odd, but do you know she
00:21:14.296 --> 00:21:15.630
Odd, but do you know she carried the triplets the full
00:21:15.697 --> 00:21:17.366
Carried the triplets the full nine months. she was never
00:21:17.432 --> 00:21:19.401
Nine months. she was never bedridden. she drove herself
00:21:19.468 --> 00:21:21.837
Bedridden. she drove herself to the hospital to deliver.
00:21:21.903 --> 00:21:23.805
To the hospital to deliver. and she never did get
00:21:23.872 --> 00:21:25.273
And she never did get gestational diabetes. now
00:21:25.340 --> 00:21:27.442
Gestational diabetes. now these sme doctors call her
00:21:27.509 --> 00:21:29.111
These sme doctors call her the miracle mom. they said,
00:21:29.177 --> 00:21:31.246
The miracle mom. they said, “we've never seen anyone like
00:21:31.313 --> 00:21:32.948
“we've never seen anyone like you.”
00:21:33.014 --> 00:21:34.249
You.” it's amazing what god will do
00:21:34.316 --> 00:21:36.518
It's amazing what god will do if you don't let negative
00:21:36.585 --> 00:21:37.853
If you don't let negative seeds take root. whose report
00:21:37.919 --> 00:21:40.589
Seeds take root. whose report are you going to believe, the
00:21:40.655 --> 00:21:42.090
Are you going to believe, the report of the lord, or the
00:21:42.157 --> 00:21:43.692
Report of the lord, or the report of people? people are
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:45.761
Report of people? people are limited, god is unlimited.
00:21:45.827 --> 00:21:48.163
Limited, god is unlimited. people are natural, god is
00:21:48.230 --> 00:21:49.765
People are natural, god is supernatural. people look at
00:21:49.831 --> 00:21:51.867
Supernatural. people look at facts, statistics, what's
00:21:51.933 --> 00:21:53.969
Facts, statistics, what's supposed to happen. god goes
00:21:54.035 --> 00:21:56.138
Supposed to happen. god goes beyond normal logic. he parts
00:21:56.204 --> 00:21:58.507
Beyond normal logic. he parts red seas. he brings little
00:21:58.573 --> 00:22:00.609
Red seas. he brings little girls back to life. he turns
00:22:00.675 --> 00:22:02.611
Girls back to life. he turns a shepherd boy into a king.
00:22:02.677 --> 00:22:04.679
A shepherd boy into a king. he gave sarah a baby at
00:22:04.746 --> 00:22:06.348
He gave sarah a baby at eighty years old. he took
00:22:06.415 --> 00:22:08.083
Eighty years old. he took joseph from a slave, in
00:22:08.150 --> 00:22:10.018
Joseph from a slave, in prison to the prime minister
00:22:10.085 --> 00:22:11.987
Prison to the prime minister of egypt. who knows where god
00:22:12.053 --> 00:22:14.356
Of egypt. who knows where god is going to take you. you
00:22:14.423 --> 00:22:15.991

Soil. you may need to uproot some things. god can still do

Some things. god can still do what he promised but you have
00:22:38.814 --> 00:22:40.148

These negative seeds to hold you back. a seed of doubt, a
00:22:47.522 --> 00:22:49.925

Be these defining moments. what you do with the seed
00:23:00.702 --> 00:23:02.471
What you do with the seed will determine whether you
00:23:02.537 --> 00:23:03.839
Will determine whether you step into your greatness or
00:23:03.905 --> 00:23:05.674

00:23:23.992 --> 00:23:25.961
Believe his report. he wouldn't have put you in that

Because it's easy to be defined by
00:24:16.177 --> 00:24:17.112
To be defined by who people say we are,
00:24:17.178 --> 00:24:18.713
Who people say we are, or by our own
00:24:18.780 --> 00:24:19.447
