- 00:00:04.527 --> 00:00:05.495
- Have you ever felt like you didn't have the strength to
- 00:00:05.562 --> 00:00:06.196
- Didn't have the strength to go on?
- 00:00:06.262 --> 00:00:07.464
- Go on? or maybe you feel like that
- 00:00:07.530 --> 00:00:09.065
- Or maybe you feel like that the task at hand is just so
- 00:00:09.132 --> 00:00:11.835
- The task at hand is just so difficult and why in the
- 00:00:11.901 --> 00:00:13.536
- Difficult and why in the world are you doing it?
- 00:00:13.603 --> 00:00:16.139
- World are you doing it? you know, sometimes, we don't
- 00:00:16.206 --> 00:00:17.207
- You know, sometimes, we don't think we can do what we're
- 00:00:17.273 --> 00:00:18.808
- Think we can do what we're facing.
- 00:00:18.875 --> 00:00:19.876
- Facing. we don't think we can
- 00:00:19.943 --> 00:00:20.543
- We don't think we can overcome the challenge or
- 00:00:20.610 --> 00:00:22.278
- Overcome the challenge or maybe you've been asked to do
- 00:00:22.345 --> 00:00:23.746
- Maybe you've been asked to do something.
- 00:00:23.813 --> 00:00:24.447
- Something. maybe you've been put in a
- 00:00:24.514 --> 00:00:25.582
- Maybe you've been put in a job or a promotion where it
- 00:00:25.648 --> 00:00:27.517
- Job or a promotion where it looks like, wow, i don't know
- 00:00:27.584 --> 00:00:29.385
- Looks like, wow, i don't know if i have the talent and
- 00:00:29.452 --> 00:00:30.520
- If i have the talent and ability to be able to handle
- 00:00:30.587 --> 00:00:32.489
- Ability to be able to handle what i need to handle.
- 00:00:32.555 --> 00:00:34.991
- What i need to handle. but can i tell you today that
- 00:00:35.058 --> 00:00:36.693
- But can i tell you today that in 2 corinthians it says that
- 00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:38.328
- In 2 corinthians it says that god's strength is made
- 00:00:38.394 --> 00:00:39.762
- God's strength is made perfect in your weakness?
- 00:00:39.829 --> 00:00:41.498
- Perfect in your weakness? so anything that you don't
- 00:00:41.564 --> 00:00:43.099
- So anything that you don't have, god has the strength
- 00:00:43.166 --> 00:00:44.434
- Have, god has the strength for.
- 00:00:44.501 --> 00:00:45.235
- For. so whatever you're facing
- 00:00:45.301 --> 00:00:46.903
- So whatever you're facing today, god has all the
- 00:00:46.970 --> 00:00:49.172
- Today, god has all the strength you ever need.
- 00:00:49.239 --> 00:00:50.773
- Strength you ever need. and that's comforting to know
- 00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:52.408
- And that's comforting to know because sometimes we wanna
- 00:00:52.475 --> 00:00:53.810
- Because sometimes we wanna look at the very end result
- 00:00:53.877 --> 00:00:55.678
- Look at the very end result and we wanna see how in the
- 00:00:55.745 --> 00:00:56.846
- And we wanna see how in the world we'll ever get there.
- 00:00:56.913 --> 00:00:58.181
- World we'll ever get there. but god is just saying, "look
- 00:00:58.248 --> 00:00:59.449
- But god is just saying, "look at today.
- 00:00:59.516 --> 00:01:00.283
- At today. my grace is sufficient for
- 00:01:00.350 --> 00:01:01.551
- My grace is sufficient for today.
- 00:01:01.618 --> 00:01:03.086
- Today. everything you need is here
- 00:01:03.153 --> 00:01:05.622
- Everything you need is here today."
- 00:01:05.688 --> 00:01:06.689
- Today." i think the trouble we get
- 00:01:06.756 --> 00:01:08.491
- I think the trouble we get into is we start working on
- 00:01:08.558 --> 00:01:10.593
- Into is we start working on tomorrow's grace today.
- 00:01:10.660 --> 00:01:12.595
- Tomorrow's grace today. we say, "but what about
- 00:01:12.662 --> 00:01:14.164
- We say, "but what about tomorrow, god," when god is
- 00:01:14.230 --> 00:01:15.632
- Tomorrow, god," when god is saying, "don't worry about
- 00:01:15.698 --> 00:01:16.733
- Saying, "don't worry about tomorrow.
- 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:17.433
- Tomorrow. just work on today.
- 00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:18.635
- Just work on today. i got tomorrow handled."
- 00:01:18.701 --> 00:01:20.570
- I got tomorrow handled." you know, and then when we
- 00:01:20.637 --> 00:01:22.071
- You know, and then when we start doing these kind of
- 00:01:22.138 --> 00:01:23.406
- Start doing these kind of things, we start questioning
- 00:01:23.473 --> 00:01:24.574
- Things, we start questioning ourself.
- 00:01:24.641 --> 00:01:25.808
- Ourself. then we start having these
- 00:01:25.875 --> 00:01:27.143
- Then we start having these doubts and we have fears and
- 00:01:27.210 --> 00:01:30.046
- Doubts and we have fears and maybe i'm not enough.
- 00:01:30.113 --> 00:01:31.347
- Maybe i'm not enough. maybe i'm not adequate.
- 00:01:31.414 --> 00:01:32.315
- Maybe i'm not adequate. maybe i don't have what it
- 00:01:32.382 --> 00:01:33.483
- Maybe i don't have what it takes.
- 00:01:33.550 --> 00:01:34.651
- Takes. and then we start going down
- 00:01:34.717 --> 00:01:35.718
- And then we start going down the wrong road.
- 00:01:35.785 --> 00:01:37.120
- The wrong road. but god said before the
- 00:01:37.187 --> 00:01:38.788
- But god said before the foundation of the world he
- 00:01:38.855 --> 00:01:40.223
- Foundation of the world he already knew you.
- 00:01:40.290 --> 00:01:41.524
- Already knew you. and he's already equipped you
- 00:01:41.591 --> 00:01:43.326
- And he's already equipped you to do whatever he's gonna
- 00:01:43.393 --> 00:01:44.460
- To do whatever he's gonna call you to do.
- 00:01:44.527 --> 00:01:45.828
- Call you to do. but you know what i've
- 00:01:45.895 --> 00:01:46.696
- But you know what i've noticed about god?
- 00:01:46.763 --> 00:01:47.931
- Noticed about god? he puts things in us that we
- 00:01:47.997 --> 00:01:49.132
- He puts things in us that we don't know that's in us.
- 00:01:49.199 --> 00:01:50.600
- Don't know that's in us. it's a mystery.
- 00:01:50.667 --> 00:01:51.968
- It's a mystery. have you ever done something
- 00:01:52.035 --> 00:01:53.102
- Have you ever done something and you thought,
- 00:01:53.169 --> 00:01:53.836
- And you thought, "how did that happen?
- 00:01:53.903 --> 00:01:55.004
- "how did that happen? how did i think about that?
- 00:01:55.071 --> 00:01:56.172
- How did i think about that? that's incredible."
- 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.041
- That's incredible." well, that's god.
- 00:01:58.107 --> 00:01:59.509
- Well, that's god. because god is smarter than
- 00:01:59.576 --> 00:02:01.678
- Because god is smarter than we are.
- 00:02:01.744 --> 00:02:03.079
- We are. but he puts things on the
- 00:02:03.146 --> 00:02:03.980
- But he puts things on the inside of us so that we can
- 00:02:04.047 --> 00:02:05.014
- Inside of us so that we can mine the gold out of us.
- 00:02:05.081 --> 00:02:07.717
- Mine the gold out of us. and we can't be fearful of
- 00:02:07.784 --> 00:02:08.818
- And we can't be fearful of that.
- 00:02:08.885 --> 00:02:09.986
- That. we can't shrink back and
- 00:02:10.053 --> 00:02:11.020
- We can't shrink back and think we don't have the
- 00:02:11.087 --> 00:02:11.988
- Think we don't have the ability because the ability's
- 00:02:12.055 --> 00:02:13.690
- Ability because the ability's in there.
- 00:02:13.756 --> 00:02:14.624
- In there. if you're facing something,
- 00:02:14.691 --> 00:02:15.491
- If you're facing something, whatever it is today,
- 00:02:15.558 --> 00:02:16.759
- Whatever it is today, whatever it is today, even if
- 00:02:16.826 --> 00:02:18.361
- Whatever it is today, even if it's a dream and you want
- 00:02:18.428 --> 00:02:19.395
- It's a dream and you want that dream but you're scared
- 00:02:19.462 --> 00:02:20.663
- That dream but you're scared to attach yourself to that
- 00:02:20.730 --> 00:02:21.965
- To attach yourself to that dream because you're thinking
- 00:02:22.031 --> 00:02:23.032
- Dream because you're thinking maybe it's just a wish and
- 00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:24.467
- Maybe it's just a wish and maybe it's not really what
- 00:02:24.534 --> 00:02:25.935
- Maybe it's not really what god wants.
- 00:02:26.002 --> 00:02:27.036
- God wants. and i wanna tell you
- 00:02:27.103 --> 00:02:27.737
- And i wanna tell you something.
- 00:02:27.804 --> 00:02:28.404
- Something. grab hold of that thing.
- 00:02:28.471 --> 00:02:29.639
- Grab hold of that thing. grab hold of it and believe
- 00:02:29.706 --> 00:02:31.608
- Grab hold of it and believe you have what it takes.
- 00:02:31.674 --> 00:02:33.610
- You have what it takes. draw strength from god.
- 00:02:33.676 --> 00:02:35.378
- Draw strength from god. all you have to do is grab
- 00:02:35.445 --> 00:02:37.213
- All you have to do is grab hold of his strength because
- 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:38.715
- Hold of his strength because when you are weak, when you
- 00:02:38.781 --> 00:02:40.583
- When you are weak, when you are in doubt, it's no
- 00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:42.018
- Are in doubt, it's no surprise to god 'cause god
- 00:02:42.085 --> 00:02:43.620
- Surprise to god 'cause god said, "i've already made
- 00:02:43.686 --> 00:02:44.520
- Said, "i've already made provision for your weakness.
- 00:02:44.587 --> 00:02:45.622
- Provision for your weakness. guess what?
- 00:02:45.688 --> 00:02:46.522
- Guess what? when you're weak, you're
- 00:02:46.589 --> 00:02:47.323
- When you're weak, you're setting me up to be strong.
- 00:02:47.390 --> 00:02:48.758
- Setting me up to be strong. if you handle it the right
- 00:02:48.825 --> 00:02:49.859
- If you handle it the right way, you're setting me up to
- 00:02:49.926 --> 00:02:51.127
- Way, you're setting me up to let my power work through
- 00:02:51.194 --> 00:02:53.796
- Let my power work through you."
- 00:02:53.863 --> 00:02:54.998
- You." don't close yourself off but
- 00:02:55.064 --> 00:02:56.899
- Don't close yourself off but open yourself up to god.
- 00:02:56.966 --> 00:02:58.334
- Open yourself up to god. and you know what?
- 00:02:58.401 --> 00:02:59.235
- And you know what? i think about this.
- 00:02:59.302 --> 00:03:00.003
- I think about this. i think i'm up here today and
- 00:03:00.069 --> 00:03:01.170
- I think i'm up here today and the truth of the matter is
- 00:03:01.237 --> 00:03:02.705
- The truth of the matter is there's probably a lot of you
- 00:03:02.772 --> 00:03:03.906
- There's probably a lot of you that could do a better job
- 00:03:03.973 --> 00:03:04.941
- That could do a better job than me so i could really
- 00:03:05.008 --> 00:03:06.843
- Than me so i could really stay in that seat.
- 00:03:06.909 --> 00:03:08.611
- Stay in that seat. and i'll tell you, sometimes
- 00:03:08.678 --> 00:03:09.512
- And i'll tell you, sometimes i want to.
- 00:03:09.579 --> 00:03:10.780
- I want to. but the truth is,
- 00:03:10.847 --> 00:03:11.914
- But the truth is, god put me up here.
- 00:03:11.981 --> 00:03:13.249
- God put me up here. so i gotta embrace the place
- 00:03:13.316 --> 00:03:14.083
- So i gotta embrace the place that i'm at.
- 00:03:14.150 --> 00:03:15.685
- That i'm at. i gotta just say, "god, you
- 00:03:15.752 --> 00:03:17.253
- I gotta just say, "god, you know what?
- 00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:18.121
- Know what? when i'm weak, you're strong.
- 00:03:18.187 --> 00:03:20.290
- When i'm weak, you're strong. hey, it's not what i say,
- 00:03:20.356 --> 00:03:21.691
- Hey, it's not what i say, it's what you do, god.
- 00:03:21.758 --> 00:03:23.092
- It's what you do, god. it's what the people hear,
- 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.427
- It's what the people hear, god.
- 00:03:24.494 --> 00:03:25.528
- God. it's what you wanna get
- 00:03:25.595 --> 00:03:26.729
- It's what you wanna get across to them."
- 00:03:26.796 --> 00:03:28.064
- Across to them." now, i'm gonna study, i'm
- 00:03:28.131 --> 00:03:29.065
- Now, i'm gonna study, i'm gonna show myself approved.
- 00:03:29.132 --> 00:03:30.066
- Gonna show myself approved. i'm gonna bite through.
- 00:03:30.133 --> 00:03:31.401
- I'm gonna bite through. i'm gonna be determined.
- 00:03:31.467 --> 00:03:32.802
- I'm gonna be determined. i'm gonna try to pick myself
- 00:03:32.869 --> 00:03:34.871
- I'm gonna try to pick myself up every day 'cause, listen,
- 00:03:34.937 --> 00:03:36.205
- Up every day 'cause, listen, there is no temptation that
- 00:03:36.272 --> 00:03:37.874
- There is no temptation that is not known to all of us.
- 00:03:37.940 --> 00:03:39.742
- Is not known to all of us. there's no struggle that we
- 00:03:39.809 --> 00:03:41.177
- There's no struggle that we don't all face.
- 00:03:41.244 --> 00:03:42.445
- Don't all face. let me tell you something.
- 00:03:42.512 --> 00:03:43.579
- Let me tell you something. no one's exempt.
- 00:03:43.646 --> 00:03:45.014
- No one's exempt. we all face the same thing.
- 00:03:45.081 --> 00:03:47.150
- We all face the same thing. we all face the same
- 00:03:47.216 --> 00:03:48.217
- We all face the same challenges.
- 00:03:48.284 --> 00:03:49.118
- Challenges. but it's how do we deal with
- 00:03:49.185 --> 00:03:50.153
- But it's how do we deal with those challenges?
- 00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:51.254
- Those challenges? how do we break through those
- 00:03:51.321 --> 00:03:52.855
- How do we break through those barriers and those
- 00:03:52.922 --> 00:03:53.823
- Barriers and those limitations?
- 00:03:53.890 --> 00:03:54.991
- Limitations? we gotta grab hold of the
- 00:03:55.058 --> 00:03:55.925
- We gotta grab hold of the strength of god.
- 00:03:55.992 --> 00:03:57.126
- Strength of god. it's great when people
- 00:03:57.193 --> 00:03:58.294
- It's great when people encourage you.
- 00:03:58.361 --> 00:03:59.362
- Encourage you. it's wonderful when people
- 00:03:59.429 --> 00:04:00.530
- It's wonderful when people say, "man, that's a good
- 00:04:00.596 --> 00:04:01.864
- Say, "man, that's a good job," or they tell you about
- 00:04:01.931 --> 00:04:03.399
- Job," or they tell you about your talents.
- 00:04:03.466 --> 00:04:04.267
- Your talents. they tell you about your
- 00:04:04.334 --> 00:04:05.001
- They tell you about your gifts.
- 00:04:05.068 --> 00:04:06.002
- Gifts. but how about when you look
- 00:04:06.069 --> 00:04:06.703
- But how about when you look up and there's no one there
- 00:04:06.769 --> 00:04:07.570
- Up and there's no one there to encourage you?
- 00:04:07.637 --> 00:04:08.971
- To encourage you? and you're facing something?
- 00:04:09.038 --> 00:04:10.640
- And you're facing something? that's when you have to say,
- 00:04:10.707 --> 00:04:11.908
- That's when you have to say, "god, i can't depend on
- 00:04:11.974 --> 00:04:13.409
- "god, i can't depend on people," 'cause people can do
- 00:04:13.476 --> 00:04:14.844
- People," 'cause people can do the best they can do but they
- 00:04:14.911 --> 00:04:16.979
- The best they can do but they can't do what god can do.
- 00:04:17.046 --> 00:04:18.815
- Can't do what god can do. and so there is a point that
- 00:04:18.881 --> 00:04:19.849
- And so there is a point that we can't depend on other
- 00:04:19.916 --> 00:04:21.718
- We can't depend on other people.
- 00:04:21.784 --> 00:04:22.819
- People. we can't let them be our
- 00:04:22.885 --> 00:04:23.720
- We can't let them be our crutch.
- 00:04:23.786 --> 00:04:25.021
- Crutch. we've gotta say, "god, it's
- 00:04:25.088 --> 00:04:26.089
- We've gotta say, "god, it's you and me.
- 00:04:26.155 --> 00:04:27.290
- You and me. it's us, god.
- 00:04:27.357 --> 00:04:28.591
- It's us, god. and you know what?
- 00:04:28.658 --> 00:04:29.492
- And you know what? we're a majority.
- 00:04:29.559 --> 00:04:30.827
- We're a majority. we can do this together."
- 00:04:30.893 --> 00:04:33.563
- We can do this together." i think too often, we just
- 00:04:33.629 --> 00:04:35.832
- I think too often, we just sit back and say, "you know
- 00:04:35.898 --> 00:04:37.066
- Sit back and say, "you know what?
- 00:04:37.133 --> 00:04:37.867
- What? it's too difficult for me so
- 00:04:37.934 --> 00:04:38.768
- It's too difficult for me so i'm not gonna do it."
- 00:04:38.835 --> 00:04:39.802
- I'm not gonna do it." because that's the
- 00:04:39.869 --> 00:04:40.436
- Because that's the comfortable thing to do and
- 00:04:40.503 --> 00:04:41.871
- Comfortable thing to do and we let things pass that we
- 00:04:41.938 --> 00:04:42.772
- We let things pass that we shouldn't.
- 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:43.873
- Shouldn't. and that's when we get
- 00:04:43.940 --> 00:04:44.741
- And that's when we get unhappy because there's
- 00:04:44.807 --> 00:04:46.209
- Unhappy because there's something on the inside of us
- 00:04:46.275 --> 00:04:47.143
- Something on the inside of us that's saying, "there's more
- 00:04:47.210 --> 00:04:48.311
- That's saying, "there's more in store.
- 00:04:48.378 --> 00:04:49.412
- In store. you can do this.
- 00:04:49.479 --> 00:04:50.346
- You can do this. you can do this."
- 00:04:50.413 --> 00:04:51.414
- You can do this." it's always pushing us.
- 00:04:51.481 --> 00:04:53.015
- It's always pushing us. it's always pushing us.
- 00:04:53.082 --> 00:04:54.150
- It's always pushing us. now, it's a matter of are we
- 00:04:54.217 --> 00:04:55.318
- Now, it's a matter of are we gonna take this step of faith
- 00:04:55.385 --> 00:04:56.586
- Gonna take this step of faith and do it?
- 00:04:56.652 --> 00:04:57.987
- And do it? i've heard joel say this a
- 00:04:58.054 --> 00:04:59.021
- I've heard joel say this a thousand times and you
- 00:04:59.088 --> 00:05:00.022
- Thousand times and you probably have too.

- Probably have too. he stands up here and he

- Says, "i never knew this was in me."

- In me." he said, "i worked behind the
- 00:05:05.795 --> 00:05:07.296
- He said, "i worked behind the scenes for 17 years.
- 00:05:07.363 --> 00:05:08.931
- Scenes for 17 years. i liked being behind the

- I liked being behind the scenes.

- Scenes. i never knew this was in me."
- 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.136
- I never knew this was in me." and he'll tell you when he
- 00:05:13.202 --> 00:05:14.437
- And he'll tell you when he got up here the first time,
- 00:05:14.504 --> 00:05:15.805
- Got up here the first time, you're talking about weak.
- 00:05:15.872 --> 00:05:17.707
- You're talking about weak. he was weak.
- 00:05:17.774 --> 00:05:18.674
- He was weak. he was so weak, he said, "i
- 00:05:18.741 --> 00:05:19.609
- He was so weak, he said, "i had to hold on to the
- 00:05:19.675 --> 00:05:20.510
- Had to hold on to the podium."

- Podium." he said, "what are all you

- He said, "what are all you guys doin' lookin' at me?"
- 00:05:22.311 --> 00:05:25.782
- Guys doin' lookin' at me?" you know, i'll never forget
- 00:05:25.848 --> 00:05:26.716
- You know, i'll never forget that first sermon.
- 00:05:26.783 --> 00:05:28.584
- That first sermon. i looked down at joel and i
- 00:05:28.651 --> 00:05:31.254
- I looked down at joel and i saw him wearing his father's
- 00:05:31.320 --> 00:05:32.822
- Saw him wearing his father's shoes.
- 00:05:32.889 --> 00:05:34.424
- Shoes. now, listen, these shoes were
- 00:05:34.490 --> 00:05:35.958
- Now, listen, these shoes were shoes that he and i had
- 00:05:36.025 --> 00:05:37.160
- Shoes that he and i had bought years ago in italy for
- 00:05:37.226 --> 00:05:39.862
- Bought years ago in italy for his father.
- 00:05:39.929 --> 00:05:40.963
- His father. we wanted to give him
- 00:05:41.030 --> 00:05:41.631
- We wanted to give him something really special.
- 00:05:41.697 --> 00:05:43.032
- Something really special. so we bought him a pair of
- 00:05:43.099 --> 00:05:44.033
- So we bought him a pair of alligator shoes, something he
- 00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:45.234
- Alligator shoes, something he wouldn't buy for himself.
- 00:05:45.301 --> 00:05:46.602
- Wouldn't buy for himself. we used all the money we had
- 00:05:46.669 --> 00:05:47.837
- We used all the money we had so we couldn't buy anything
- 00:05:47.904 --> 00:05:49.105
- So we couldn't buy anything for ourself.
- 00:05:49.172 --> 00:05:50.139
- For ourself. but we brought those shoes
- 00:05:50.206 --> 00:05:52.074
- But we brought those shoes home and we presented them to
- 00:05:52.141 --> 00:05:53.309
- Home and we presented them to his father, and his father
- 00:05:53.376 --> 00:05:54.410
- His father, and his father loved the shoes.
- 00:05:54.477 --> 00:05:55.545
- Loved the shoes. they were beautiful shoes.
- 00:05:55.611 --> 00:05:57.480
- But when i looked up there
- 00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:58.147
- But when i looked up there and i saw him wearing his
- 00:05:58.214 --> 00:05:59.115
- And i saw him wearing his dad's shoes, 'course, a
- 00:05:59.182 --> 00:06:00.483
- Dad's shoes, 'course, a thousand things went through
- 00:06:00.550 --> 00:06:01.384
- Thousand things went through my mind.
- 00:06:01.451 --> 00:06:02.485
- My mind. i was always sitting on the
- 00:06:02.552 --> 00:06:03.252
- I was always sitting on the edge of my seat just saying,
- 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:04.053
- Edge of my seat just saying, "god, give him everything i
- 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:05.188
- "god, give him everything i have and everything you have
- 00:06:05.254 --> 00:06:07.423
- Have and everything you have too."

- Too." but the truth of the matter
- 00:06:08.624 --> 00:06:09.592
- But the truth of the matter is he wasn't wearing his
- 00:06:09.659 --> 00:06:10.760
- Is he wasn't wearing his father's shoes to fill his
- 00:06:10.827 --> 00:06:12.762
- Father's shoes to fill his father's shoes.
- 00:06:12.829 --> 00:06:14.564
- Father's shoes. he was wearing his father's
- 00:06:14.630 --> 00:06:16.332
- He was wearing his father's shoes to draw strength from
- 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.034
- Shoes to draw strength from his father's shoes.
- 00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:19.969

- Could get an image of the picture of someone who was
- 00:06:22.972 --> 00:06:24.440
- Picture of someone who was standing on a platform, never
- 00:06:24.507 --> 00:06:27.777
- Standing on a platform, never dreaming in their life that
- 00:06:27.844 --> 00:06:29.011
- Dreaming in their life that they were gonna be in the
- 00:06:29.078 --> 00:06:29.946

- Gonna find our strength. you know, i truly believe god
- 00:07:18.928 --> 00:07:19.962
- You know, i truly believe god asks us to do things that are
- 00:07:20.029 --> 00:07:21.464
- Asks us to do things that are way over our head for the
- 00:07:21.531 --> 00:07:22.798
- Way over our head for the very reason that he knows
- 00:07:22.865 --> 00:07:24.934
- Very reason that he knows it's over our head.
- 00:07:25.001 --> 00:07:26.502
- It's over our head. he knows it's gonna be
- 00:07:26.569 --> 00:07:28.104
- He knows it's gonna be difficult for us.
- 00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:29.672
- Difficult for us. and i honestly believe he
- 00:07:29.739 --> 00:07:30.940
- And i honestly believe he does that to keep us on our
- 00:07:31.007 --> 00:07:33.409
- Does that to keep us on our knees.
- 00:07:33.476 --> 00:07:34.844
- Knees. to keep us dependent on him.
- 00:07:34.911 --> 00:07:38.080
- To keep us dependent on him. because, see, you're never
- 00:07:38.147 --> 00:07:38.915
- Because, see, you're never gonna achieve what he's
- 00:07:38.981 --> 00:07:40.049
- Gonna achieve what he's called you to do unless
- 00:07:40.116 --> 00:07:41.083
- Called you to do unless you're dependent on him.
- 00:07:41.150 --> 00:07:43.019
- Because if you can do it in
- 00:07:43.219 --> 00:07:43.853
- Because if you can do it in your own strength, i can tell
- 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:45.187
- Your own strength, i can tell you this.
- 00:07:45.254 --> 00:07:46.222
- You this. it's not god.
- 00:07:46.289 --> 00:07:47.456
- It's not god. because god wants you to go
- 00:07:47.523 --> 00:07:48.991
- Because god wants you to go beyond your ability and tap
- 00:07:49.058 --> 00:07:50.927
- Beyond your ability and tap into his ability.
- 00:07:50.993 --> 00:07:52.662
- Into his ability. he wants you to go beyond
- 00:07:52.728 --> 00:07:53.863
- He wants you to go beyond what you think you can do and
- 00:07:53.930 --> 00:07:55.565
- What you think you can do and get into what only you can do
- 00:07:55.631 --> 00:07:57.199
- Get into what only you can do when you do it with god.
- 00:07:57.266 --> 00:07:58.935
- When you do it with god. walk in your father's shoes.
- 00:07:59.001 --> 00:08:03.673
- Walk in your father's shoes. whenever you feel fear and
- 00:08:03.739 --> 00:08:05.408
- Whenever you feel fear and whenever you feel doubt, just
- 00:08:05.474 --> 00:08:07.209
- Whenever you feel doubt, just slip those shoes on and say,
- 00:08:07.276 --> 00:08:08.611
- Slip those shoes on and say, "god, i don't need to worry
- 00:08:08.678 --> 00:08:10.580
- "god, i don't need to worry about tomorrow.
- 00:08:10.646 --> 00:08:11.847
- About tomorrow. all i need is to have enough
- 00:08:11.914 --> 00:08:12.882
- All i need is to have enough strength for today.
- 00:08:12.949 --> 00:08:14.383
- Strength for today. and god, i know that when i
- 00:08:14.450 --> 00:08:15.484
- And god, i know that when i am walking in your shoes and
- 00:08:15.551 --> 00:08:17.386
- Am walking in your shoes and in your strength, your grace
- 00:08:17.453 --> 00:08:18.554
- In your strength, your grace is sufficient.
- 00:08:18.621 --> 00:08:19.956
- Is sufficient. you'll add the people to me
- 00:08:20.022 --> 00:08:20.990
- You'll add the people to me that i need.
- 00:08:21.057 --> 00:08:21.991
- That i need. you'll open the right doors
- 00:08:22.058 --> 00:08:23.159
- You'll open the right doors for me.
- 00:08:23.225 --> 00:08:23.926
- For me. you'll give me the ideas.
- 00:08:23.993 --> 00:08:25.027
- You'll give me the ideas. but i'm gonna wait upon you."
- 00:08:25.094 --> 00:08:26.963
- The bible talks a lot about
- 00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:29.231
- The bible talks a lot about pulling down god's strength.
- 00:08:29.298 --> 00:08:31.500
- Pulling down god's strength. it says, "wait upon the lord
- 00:08:31.567 --> 00:08:33.235
- It says, "wait upon the lord and he'll renew your
- 00:08:33.302 --> 00:08:34.370
- And he'll renew your strength."
- 00:08:34.437 --> 00:08:35.471
- Strength." that means stay in those
- 00:08:35.538 --> 00:08:36.305
- That means stay in those shoes.
- 00:08:36.372 --> 00:08:37.106
- Shoes. don't get out of those shoes.
- 00:08:37.173 --> 00:08:38.140
- Don't get out of those shoes. don't give up.
- 00:08:38.207 --> 00:08:40.076
- Don't release what you have
- 00:08:40.276 --> 00:08:40.876
- Don't release what you have in your hands because you're
- 00:08:40.943 --> 00:08:42.211
- In your hands because you're afraid.
- 00:08:42.278 --> 00:08:43.312
- Afraid. stay in those shoes.
- 00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:44.413
- Stay in those shoes. god'll bring that strength to
- 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:45.915
- God'll bring that strength to you but he wants to see our
- 00:08:45.982 --> 00:08:47.116
- You but he wants to see our determination.
- 00:08:47.183 --> 00:08:48.351
- Determination. i can tell you this.
- 00:08:48.417 --> 00:08:50.052
- I can tell you this. i saw my husband's
- 00:08:50.119 --> 00:08:51.520
- I saw my husband's determination.
- 00:08:51.587 --> 00:08:52.788
- Determination. i saw what it took to get to
- 00:08:52.855 --> 00:08:54.991
- I saw what it took to get to where he is today.
- 00:08:55.057 --> 00:08:56.626
- Where he is today. i am so glad he didn't let
- 00:08:56.692 --> 00:08:58.227
- I am so glad he didn't let his weakness be an excuse
- 00:08:58.294 --> 00:09:00.096
- His weakness be an excuse because we wouldn't enjoy the
- 00:09:00.162 --> 00:09:01.697
- Because we wouldn't enjoy the hope of the gospel that we
- 00:09:01.764 --> 00:09:03.466
- Hope of the gospel that we have coming from this place
- 00:09:03.532 --> 00:09:04.800
- Have coming from this place today.
- 00:09:04.867 --> 00:09:06.035
- Today. people's lives wouldn't be
- 00:09:06.102 --> 00:09:07.169
- People's lives wouldn't be changed if he would have
- 00:09:07.236 --> 00:09:09.739
- Changed if he would have said, "it's easy to stay in
- 00:09:09.805 --> 00:09:10.840
- Said, "it's easy to stay in the background," if that's
- 00:09:10.906 --> 00:09:11.974
- The background," if that's the comfortable place.
- 00:09:12.041 --> 00:09:13.209
- The comfortable place. in fact, he likes the
- 00:09:13.275 --> 00:09:14.276
- In fact, he likes the background.
- 00:09:14.343 --> 00:09:15.478
- Background. but i can tell you, he's
- 00:09:15.544 --> 00:09:17.947
- But i can tell you, he's saying, "i'm determined
- 00:09:18.014 --> 00:09:18.981
- Saying, "i'm determined because it's my call.
- 00:09:19.048 --> 00:09:20.383
- Because it's my call. and if god's called me, it's
- 00:09:20.449 --> 00:09:21.484
- And if god's called me, it's gonna be bigger than me.
- 00:09:21.550 --> 00:09:22.585
- Gonna be bigger than me. and if it's bigger than me,
- 00:09:22.652 --> 00:09:23.686
- And if it's bigger than me, the only way i can accomplish
- 00:09:23.753 --> 00:09:24.754
- The only way i can accomplish it is by the strength of
- 00:09:24.820 --> 00:09:26.222
- It is by the strength of almighty god."
- 00:09:26.288 --> 00:09:30.693
- Almighty god." walk in your father's shoes.
- 00:09:30.760 --> 00:09:32.728
- Walk in your father's shoes. he's gonna call you
- 00:09:32.795 --> 00:09:33.796
- He's gonna call you to great things.
- 00:09:33.863 --> 00:09:35.097
- To great things. don't shrink back.

- Don't shrink back. don't put limitations on
- 00:09:36.198 --> 00:09:37.500
- Don't put limitations on yourself.
- 00:09:37.566 --> 00:09:38.434

- In life it seems like things are out of control.
- 00:13:09.144 --> 00:13:10.212
- Are out of control. you know, even in our nation,
- 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:11.247
- You know, even in our nation, in one sense a lot of stuff
- 00:13:11.313 --> 00:13:12.715
- In one sense a lot of stuff going on but, you know, we
- 00:13:12.781 --> 00:13:14.383
- Going on but, you know, we gotta know that god is still
- 00:13:14.450 --> 00:13:15.584
- Gotta know that god is still on the throne, that it's not
- 00:13:15.651 --> 00:13:17.253
- On the throne, that it's not a surprise to him.
- 00:13:17.319 --> 00:13:18.821
- A surprise to him. you know, that we're gonna be
- 00:13:18.888 --> 00:13:19.855
- You know, that we're gonna be a part of the solution and
- 00:13:19.922 --> 00:13:21.190
- A part of the solution and not a part of the problem.
- 00:13:21.257 --> 00:13:22.691
- Not a part of the problem. we're gonna be a healer and
- 00:13:22.758 --> 00:13:23.959
- We're gonna be a healer and we're gonna be a bright light
- 00:13:24.026 --> 00:13:25.694
- We're gonna be a bright light out wherever we go.
- 00:13:25.761 --> 00:13:27.630
- But not only just in the
- 00:13:27.830 --> 00:13:28.330
- But not only just in the nation and we certainly pray
- 00:13:28.397 --> 00:13:29.265
- Nation and we certainly pray for unity there, but also in
- 00:13:29.331 --> 00:13:31.333
- For unity there, but also in your own life sometimes we
- 00:13:31.400 --> 00:13:32.434
- Your own life sometimes we can think, "god, if you're in
- 00:13:32.501 --> 00:13:33.802
- Can think, "god, if you're in control, if you're really on
- 00:13:33.869 --> 00:13:35.371
- Control, if you're really on the throne, then you know,
- 00:13:35.437 --> 00:13:36.772
- The throne, then you know, why is this stuff coming
- 00:13:36.839 --> 00:13:37.473
- Why is this stuff coming against me or why do i have
- 00:13:37.539 --> 00:13:39.008
- Against me or why do i have this medical report, this
- 00:13:39.074 --> 00:13:40.442
- This medical report, this situation at work?"
- 00:13:40.509 --> 00:13:41.543
- Situation at work?" but you just have to remind
- 00:13:41.610 --> 00:13:42.678
- But you just have to remind yourself that even though you
- 00:13:42.745 --> 00:13:44.480
- Yourself that even though you can't see it, god knows what
- 00:13:44.546 --> 00:13:46.048
- Can't see it, god knows what he's doing, he's in control,
- 00:13:46.115 --> 00:13:47.716
- He's doing, he's in control, he has you in the palm
- 00:13:47.783 --> 00:13:48.884
- He has you in the palm of his hand.
- 00:13:48.951 --> 00:13:50.819
- You know, the scripture talks
- 00:13:51.020 --> 00:13:52.154
- You know, the scripture talks about too that nothing can
- 00:13:52.221 --> 00:13:53.923
- About too that nothing can snatch us out of god's hands
- 00:13:53.989 --> 00:13:55.391
- Snatch us out of god's hands as long as we're in faith
- 00:13:55.457 --> 00:13:57.793
- As long as we're in faith honoring god you won't go to
- 00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:59.962
- Honoring god you won't go to be with the lord one second
- 00:14:00.029 --> 00:14:00.930
- Be with the lord one second before your time.
- 00:14:00.996 --> 00:14:02.364
- Before your time. there is a hedge of
- 00:14:02.431 --> 00:14:03.599
- There is a hedge of protection around you that
- 00:14:03.666 --> 00:14:05.267
- Protection around you that the enemy cannot cross.
- 00:14:05.334 --> 00:14:06.869
- The enemy cannot cross. it's a blood line that the
- 00:14:06.936 --> 00:14:07.903
- It's a blood line that the enemy cannot cross, so that's
- 00:14:07.970 --> 00:14:09.138
- Enemy cannot cross, so that's why we don't have
- 00:14:09.204 --> 00:14:10.005
- Why we don't have to live in fear.
- 00:14:10.072 --> 00:14:11.941
- We don't have to live worried
- 00:14:12.141 --> 00:14:12.675
- We don't have to live worried and when i was praying that
- 00:14:12.741 --> 00:14:15.244
- And when i was praying that scripture, "no weapon formed
- 00:14:15.311 --> 00:14:17.112
- Scripture, "no weapon formed against us will prosper," and
- 00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:18.847
- Against us will prosper," and i think the key is it doesn't
- 00:14:18.914 --> 00:14:20.482
- I think the key is it doesn't say that nothing will form
- 00:14:20.549 --> 00:14:22.084
- Say that nothing will form against you, that you'll
- 00:14:22.151 --> 00:14:23.786
- Against you, that you'll never have any difficulties
- 00:14:23.852 --> 00:14:25.254
- Never have any difficulties if you serve the lord.
- 00:14:25.321 --> 00:14:26.155
- If you serve the lord. well, we all know that's not
- 00:14:26.221 --> 00:14:27.156
- Well, we all know that's not reality.

- Thank you that this is not going to prosper against me."
- 00:14:35.397 --> 00:14:36.966
- Going to prosper against me." and i've learned one of the
- 00:14:37.032 --> 00:14:39.268

- 00:14:39.335 --> 00:14:40.569
- Best ways you can pray is to pray god's word.

- "lord, i want--in the midst of a difficulty, lord, i
- 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:44.540
- Of a difficulty, lord, i wanna thank you that this is
- 00:14:44.606 --> 00:14:45.741

- Lord, i thank you that you're supplying all of my needs.
- 00:14:47.977 --> 00:14:49.445
- Supplying all of my needs. lord, you said you would
- 00:14:49.511 --> 00:14:50.846
- Lord, you said you would restore health back into me.
- 00:14:50.913 --> 00:14:52.414

- That's in me than he that comes against me."
- 00:14:58.354 --> 00:14:59.321
- Comes against me." see, take this in the right
- 00:14:59.388 --> 00:15:01.690
- See, take this in the right sense, but god is not
- 00:15:01.757 --> 00:15:02.992
- Sense, but god is not necessarily obligated to
- 00:15:03.058 --> 00:15:05.260
- Necessarily obligated to bring to pass what you say
- 00:15:05.327 --> 00:15:06.495
- Bring to pass what you say but he is obligated to bring
- 00:15:06.562 --> 00:15:08.764
- But he is obligated to bring to pass what he says.
- 00:15:08.831 --> 00:15:10.466
- To pass what he says. so when you pray god's
- 00:15:10.532 --> 00:15:11.400
- So when you pray god's promises, "lord, these things
- 00:15:11.467 --> 00:15:13.836
- Promises, "lord, these things are coming against me but you
- 00:15:13.902 --> 00:15:15.104
- Are coming against me but you said no weapon formed against
- 00:15:15.170 --> 00:15:16.638
- Said no weapon formed against me will prosper," that's when
- 00:15:16.705 --> 00:15:18.140
- Me will prosper," that's when there's power.
- 00:15:18.207 --> 00:15:19.575
- There's power. the scripture says the spirit
- 00:15:19.641 --> 00:15:20.876
- The scripture says the spirit of faith is in our words.
- 00:15:20.943 --> 00:15:22.678
- Of faith is in our words. don't go around complaining.
- 00:15:22.745 --> 00:15:24.480
- Don't go around complaining. go around speaking god's word
- 00:15:24.546 --> 00:15:25.714
- Go around speaking god's word over your life.
- 00:15:25.781 --> 00:15:27.182
- Over your life. let's live from a place of
- 00:15:27.249 --> 00:15:28.050
- Let's live from a place of faith and not from a place of
- 00:15:28.117 --> 00:15:29.585
- Faith and not from a place of fear.
- 00:15:29.651 --> 00:15:30.686
- Fear. let's know he's still on the
- 00:15:30.753 --> 00:15:31.620
- Let's know he's still on the throne and what was that
- 00:15:31.687 --> 00:15:34.189
- Throne and what was that song?
- 00:15:34.256 --> 00:15:34.857
- Song? i liked that.
- 00:15:34.923 --> 00:15:35.491
- I liked that. "let it be known, our god is
- 00:15:35.557 --> 00:15:36.358
- "let it be known, our god is still on the throne.
- 00:15:36.425 --> 00:15:37.226
- Still on the throne. if all hell shall break
- 00:15:37.292 --> 00:15:37.993
- If all hell shall break loose, we'll still be
- 00:15:38.060 --> 00:15:39.028
- Loose, we'll still be standing strong."
- 00:15:39.094 --> 00:15:40.596
- Standing strong." that's not the words, but
- 00:15:40.662 --> 00:15:41.463
- That's not the words, but that's good too.
- 00:15:41.530 --> 00:15:42.398
- That's good too. but anyway, we're gonna take

- But anyway, we're gonna take a moment to pray today.
- 00:15:44.199 --> 00:15:45.167
- A moment to pray today. if there's something that

- If there's something that maybe is heavy on your heart
- 00:15:46.368 --> 00:15:48.370
