Thanks for tuning in. i like to start with
00:00:28.718 --> 00:00:29.352
I like to start with something funny.
00:00:29.419 --> 00:00:30.687
Something funny. i heard about this country
00:00:30.753 --> 00:00:31.754
I heard about this country grandmother. she'd go out
00:00:31.821 --> 00:00:33.356
Grandmother. she'd go out on her front porch every
00:00:33.423 --> 00:00:34.691
On her front porch every morning and thank the lord
00:00:34.757 --> 00:00:36.192
Morning and thank the lord for another day.
00:00:36.259 --> 00:00:37.560
For another day. her neighbor didn't believe
00:00:37.627 --> 00:00:38.761
Her neighbor didn't believe in god. he'd shout back,
00:00:38.828 --> 00:00:40.730
In god. he'd shout back, "there's no such thing
00:00:40.797 --> 00:00:41.731
"there's no such thing as the lord."
00:00:41.798 --> 00:00:43.099
As the lord." one day he overheard her
00:00:43.166 --> 00:00:44.734
One day he overheard her asking god to give her
00:00:44.801 --> 00:00:45.735
Asking god to give her groceries for the week.
00:00:45.802 --> 00:00:47.403
Groceries for the week. he snuck over early the
00:00:47.470 --> 00:00:48.471
He snuck over early the next morning and put
00:00:48.538 --> 00:00:49.439
Next morning and put groceries on her front
00:00:49.506 --> 00:00:50.440
Groceries on her front porch. she came out and
00:00:50.507 --> 00:00:51.908
Porch. she came out and said, "thank you lord,
00:00:51.975 --> 00:00:52.976
Said, "thank you lord, you did it again."
00:00:53.042 --> 00:00:53.843
You did it again." he laughed and laughed,
00:00:53.910 --> 00:00:55.245
He laughed and laughed, said, "god didn't give
00:00:55.311 --> 00:00:56.179
Said, "god didn't give you those groceries,
00:00:56.246 --> 00:00:57.313
You those groceries, i put them there."
00:00:57.380 --> 00:00:58.715
I put them there." she said, "lord thank
00:00:58.781 --> 00:00:59.716
She said, "lord thank you, you not only sent
00:00:59.782 --> 00:01:01.017
You, you not only sent me the groceries, but
00:01:01.084 --> 00:01:02.252
Me the groceries, but you made the devil pay
00:01:02.318 --> 00:01:03.286
You made the devil pay for them."
00:01:03.353 --> 00:01:04.921
For them." say it like you mean it.
00:01:04.988 --> 00:01:06.489
Say it like you mean it. this is my bible.
00:01:06.556 --> 00:01:08.158
This is my bible. i am what it says i am.
00:01:08.224 --> 00:01:10.093
I am what it says i am. i have what it says i
00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:11.161
I have what it says i have. i can do what it
00:01:11.227 --> 00:01:12.896
Have. i can do what it says i can do. today
00:01:12.962 --> 00:01:14.931
Says i can do. today i will be taught the

00:01:15.965 --> 00:01:17.967
Word of god. i boldly confess: my mind is
00:01:18.034 --> 00:01:19.569
Confess: my mind is alert. my heart is
00:01:19.636 --> 00:01:20.803
Alert. my heart is receptive. i will never
00:01:20.870 --> 00:01:22.405
Be the same in jesus'
00:01:22.505 --> 00:01:24.307
Be the same in jesus' name. god bless you.
00:01:24.374 --> 00:01:26.242
Name. god bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:26.309 --> 00:01:28.778
I want to talk to you today about you are good seed.
00:01:28.845 --> 00:01:31.247
Life tries to convince us
00:01:31.347 --> 00:01:32.715
Life tries to convince us that we're average, there's
00:01:32.782 --> 00:01:34.250
That we're average, there's nothing special about us.
00:01:34.317 --> 00:01:36.085
Nothing special about us. we have too many obstacles,
00:01:36.152 --> 00:01:37.887
We have too many obstacles, we'll never accomplish our
00:01:37.954 --> 00:01:38.955
We'll never accomplish our dreams.
00:01:39.022 --> 00:01:39.923
Dreams. we've made too many
00:01:39.989 --> 00:01:40.690
We've made too many mistakes; we'll never leave
00:01:40.757 --> 00:01:42.325
Mistakes; we'll never leave our mark.
00:01:42.392 --> 00:01:43.493
Our mark. we don't realize who we are.
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.995
We don't realize who we are. the scripture says we have
00:01:46.062 --> 00:01:47.530
The scripture says we have the divine nature of god,
00:01:47.597 --> 00:01:49.999
The divine nature of god, we are his offspring.
00:01:50.066 --> 00:01:51.935
We are his offspring. that means you have the
00:01:52.001 --> 00:01:53.203
That means you have the dna of almighty god.
00:01:53.269 --> 00:01:55.805
Dna of almighty god. in your seed is favor,
00:01:55.872 --> 00:01:57.840
In your seed is favor, creativity, courage, new
00:01:57.907 --> 00:01:59.809
Creativity, courage, new levels.
00:01:59.876 --> 00:02:00.910
Levels. you can't have god's dna
00:02:00.977 --> 00:02:02.812
You can't have god's dna and be average.
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:04.547
And be average. that seed will override
00:02:04.614 --> 00:02:06.082
That seed will override challenges, that seed will
00:02:06.149 --> 00:02:07.850
Challenges, that seed will propel you where you can't
00:02:07.917 --> 00:02:09.319
Propel you where you can't go on your own.
00:02:09.385 --> 00:02:10.687
Go on your own. if you're going to reach
00:02:10.753 --> 00:02:11.521
If you're going to reach your potential, you have
00:02:11.588 --> 00:02:12.889
Your potential, you have to know you are good seed.
00:02:12.956 --> 00:02:15.692
To know you are good seed. god wouldn't have breathed
00:02:15.758 --> 00:02:16.993
God wouldn't have breathed his life into you, he
00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:18.695
His life into you, he wouldn't have chosen you
00:02:18.761 --> 00:02:19.929
Wouldn't have chosen you before you could choose him
00:02:19.996 --> 00:02:21.965
Before you could choose him if you didn't have purpose,
00:02:22.031 --> 00:02:23.633
If you didn't have purpose, destiny, greatness.
00:02:23.700 --> 00:02:25.768
Destiny, greatness. there's something in you
00:02:25.835 --> 00:02:27.203
There's something in you that will cause you to leave
00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:28.805
That will cause you to leave your mark.
00:02:28.871 --> 00:02:30.206
Your mark. you may have made mistakes,
00:02:30.273 --> 00:02:31.608
You may have made mistakes, but that didn't stop the
00:02:31.674 --> 00:02:32.809
But that didn't stop the seed.
00:02:32.875 --> 00:02:33.810
Seed. you may have come from
00:02:33.876 --> 00:02:34.711
You may have come from negative circumstances but
00:02:34.777 --> 00:02:36.512
Negative circumstances but that doesn't change your
00:02:36.579 --> 00:02:37.614
That doesn't change your seed.
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:38.648
Seed. don't let how you were
00:02:38.715 --> 00:02:39.682
Don't let how you were raised, what you didn't get,
00:02:39.749 --> 00:02:41.851
Raised, what you didn't get, any dysfunction, convince
00:02:41.918 --> 00:02:43.720
Any dysfunction, convince you that you're not up to
00:02:43.786 --> 00:02:44.721
You that you're not up to par, you can't do something
00:02:44.787 --> 00:02:46.656
Par, you can't do something great.
00:02:46.723 --> 00:02:47.690
Great. the environment doesn't
00:02:47.757 --> 00:02:49.459
The environment doesn't change the seed.
00:02:49.525 --> 00:02:50.994
Change the seed. you can have bad
00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:51.961
You can have bad circumstances, but because
00:02:52.028 --> 00:02:53.997
Circumstances, but because you're good seed you're
00:02:54.063 --> 00:02:55.498
You're good seed you're still going to shine, you're
00:02:55.565 --> 00:02:57.000
Still going to shine, you're still going to blossom.
00:02:57.066 --> 00:02:59.168
Still going to blossom. a young lady told me how
00:02:59.235 --> 00:03:00.770
A young lady told me how when her mother was pregnant
00:03:00.837 --> 00:03:02.171
When her mother was pregnant with her, she was addicted
00:03:02.238 --> 00:03:03.706
With her, she was addicted to drugs.
00:03:03.773 --> 00:03:04.807
To drugs. when she was born, she had
00:03:04.874 --> 00:03:06.009
When she was born, she had the same addiction.
00:03:06.075 --> 00:03:07.610
The same addiction. it seemed like she was at a
00:03:07.677 --> 00:03:09.012
It seemed like she was at a disadvantage.
00:03:09.078 --> 00:03:10.246
Disadvantage. she was sent from foster
00:03:10.313 --> 00:03:11.481
She was sent from foster home to foster home.
00:03:11.547 --> 00:03:13.316
Home to foster home. all the odds were against
00:03:13.383 --> 00:03:14.851
All the odds were against her, but today she's
00:03:14.917 --> 00:03:16.552
Her, but today she's successful, she runs her own
00:03:16.619 --> 00:03:18.554
Successful, she runs her own company, she has healthy
00:03:18.621 --> 00:03:20.123
Company, she has healthy children, a great marriage.
00:03:20.189 --> 00:03:22.125
Children, a great marriage. why is that?
00:03:22.191 --> 00:03:23.459
Why is that? bad circumstances can't stop
00:03:23.526 --> 00:03:25.962
Bad circumstances can't stop a good seed.
00:03:26.029 --> 00:03:27.330
A good seed. can i tell you?
00:03:27.397 --> 00:03:28.598
Can i tell you? you are good seed.
00:03:28.665 --> 00:03:30.433
You are good seed. god has crowned you with
00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:31.801
God has crowned you with favor, you have royal blood
00:03:31.868 --> 00:03:33.736
Favor, you have royal blood flowing through your veins.
00:03:33.803 --> 00:03:35.405
Flowing through your veins. you wouldn't be here if you
00:03:35.471 --> 00:03:37.040
You wouldn't be here if you weren't equipped, empowered
00:03:37.106 --> 00:03:39.042
Weren't equipped, empowered and anointed.
00:03:39.108 --> 00:03:40.443
And anointed. you may have been raised in
00:03:40.510 --> 00:03:41.678
You may have been raised in an unhealthy environment, by
00:03:41.744 --> 00:03:43.446
An unhealthy environment, by people that had issues but
00:03:43.513 --> 00:03:45.281
People that had issues but here's the key.
00:03:45.348 --> 00:03:46.416
Here's the key. you came through your
00:03:46.482 --> 00:03:47.517
You came through your mother, but you came from
00:03:47.583 --> 00:03:49.686
Mother, but you came from almighty god.
00:03:49.752 --> 00:03:51.321
Almighty god. who you come from is more
00:03:51.387 --> 00:03:53.256
Who you come from is more important than who you come
00:03:53.323 --> 00:03:54.791
Important than who you come through.
00:03:54.857 --> 00:03:55.491
Through. the soil may not always be
00:03:55.558 --> 00:03:58.127
The soil may not always be perfect but because your
00:03:58.194 --> 00:03:59.829
Perfect but because your seed is so good, you will
00:03:59.896 --> 00:04:01.931
Seed is so good, you will succeed despite the
00:04:01.998 --> 00:04:03.533
Succeed despite the dysfunction, you will
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:04.967
Dysfunction, you will prosper despite the economy,
00:04:05.034 --> 00:04:07.337
Prosper despite the economy, you'll raise great children
00:04:07.403 --> 00:04:08.805
You'll raise great children despite negative influences,
00:04:08.871 --> 00:04:11.174
Despite negative influences, you'll overcome the illness
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:12.608
You'll overcome the illness despite what the medical
00:04:12.675 --> 00:04:14.243
Despite what the medical report says.
00:04:14.310 --> 00:04:15.812
Report says. all these negative
00:04:15.878 --> 00:04:16.813
All these negative circumstances really they're
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.082
Circumstances really they're just fertilizer.
00:04:19.148 --> 00:04:20.850
Just fertilizer. they can't stop your seed.
00:04:20.917 --> 00:04:22.852
They can't stop your seed. the stinky stuff, the bad
00:04:22.919 --> 00:04:24.754
The stinky stuff, the bad breaks, the people that
00:04:24.821 --> 00:04:25.988
Breaks, the people that walked away, we don't like
00:04:26.055 --> 00:04:27.757
Walked away, we don't like it, but it didn't stop your
00:04:27.824 --> 00:04:29.492
It, but it didn't stop your destiny.
00:04:29.559 --> 00:04:30.626
Destiny. it simply fertilized your
00:04:30.693 --> 00:04:32.328
It simply fertilized your seed.
00:04:32.395 --> 00:04:33.162
Seed. it made you stronger, more
00:04:33.229 --> 00:04:35.131
It made you stronger, more confident.
00:04:35.198 --> 00:04:36.432
Confident. don't complain about the
00:04:36.499 --> 00:04:37.567
Don't complain about the fertilizer.
00:04:37.633 --> 00:04:38.534
Fertilizer. you need fertilizer to boost
00:04:38.601 --> 00:04:40.403
You need fertilizer to boost your growth.
00:04:40.470 --> 00:04:41.871
Your growth. we have some flower beds at
00:04:41.938 --> 00:04:43.139
We have some flower beds at home, a couple times a year
00:04:43.206 --> 00:04:45.441
Home, a couple times a year we put mulch in them.
00:04:45.508 --> 00:04:47.310
We put mulch in them. one of the main ingredients
00:04:47.377 --> 00:04:48.845
One of the main ingredients of mulch is manure.
00:04:48.911 --> 00:04:50.880
Of mulch is manure. it smells so badly you can
00:04:50.947 --> 00:04:52.849
It smells so badly you can hardly stay outside.
00:04:52.915 --> 00:04:54.817
Hardly stay outside. but in a couple of months,
00:04:54.884 --> 00:04:55.952
But in a couple of months, the smell is gone and the
00:04:56.018 --> 00:04:57.720
The smell is gone and the plants are blooming,
00:04:57.787 --> 00:04:59.255
Plants are blooming, blossoming, seeing new
00:04:59.322 --> 00:05:00.690
Blossoming, seeing new growth.
00:05:00.757 --> 00:05:01.724
Growth. the fertilizer, as stinky as
00:05:01.791 --> 00:05:03.960
The fertilizer, as stinky as it smells, it's providing
00:05:04.026 --> 00:05:05.995
It smells, it's providing valuable nutrients and
00:05:06.062 --> 00:05:07.764
Valuable nutrients and minerals for the plants.
00:05:07.830 --> 00:05:09.832
Minerals for the plants. sometimes life stinks.
00:05:09.899 --> 00:05:12.735
Sometimes life stinks. we go through things that
00:05:12.802 --> 00:05:13.803
We go through things that are not fair.
00:05:13.870 --> 00:05:15.204
Are not fair. we came down with an
00:05:15.271 --> 00:05:16.139
We came down with an illness, our child is
00:05:16.205 --> 00:05:17.640
Illness, our child is struggling, the business has
00:05:17.707 --> 00:05:19.242
Struggling, the business has slowed.
00:05:19.308 --> 00:05:20.243
Slowed. we think these negative
00:05:20.309 --> 00:05:21.577
We think these negative circumstances are going to
00:05:21.644 --> 00:05:23.045
Circumstances are going to stop us.
00:05:23.112 --> 00:05:24.113
Stop us. have a new perspective.
00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:25.882
Have a new perspective. it's fertilizer.
00:05:25.948 --> 00:05:27.450
It's fertilizer. it stinks but it's not
00:05:27.517 --> 00:05:29.018
It stinks but it's not working against you, it's
00:05:29.085 --> 00:05:30.520
Working against you, it's working for you.
00:05:30.586 --> 00:05:31.954
Working for you. god is going to take what
00:05:32.021 --> 00:05:33.556
God is going to take what was meant for your harm and
00:05:33.623 --> 00:05:35.558
Was meant for your harm and turn it to your advantage.
00:05:35.625 --> 00:05:36.926
Turn it to your advantage. it was meant to stop you but
00:05:36.993 --> 00:05:39.228
It was meant to stop you but if you'll keep believing,
00:05:39.295 --> 00:05:40.763
If you'll keep believing, keep thanking god, keep
00:05:40.830 --> 00:05:42.298
Keep thanking god, keep doing the right thing you're
00:05:42.365 --> 00:05:43.733
Doing the right thing you're going to come out stronger,
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.468
Going to come out stronger, healthier, better than you
00:05:45.535 --> 00:05:47.203
Healthier, better than you were before.
00:05:47.270 --> 00:05:48.604
Were before. don't sweat the stinky
00:05:48.671 --> 00:05:50.206
Don't sweat the stinky stuff.
00:05:50.273 --> 00:05:51.307
Stuff. we all have fertilizer.
00:05:51.374 --> 00:05:53.509
That coworker that gets on
00:05:53.609 --> 00:05:55.077
That coworker that gets on your nerves, always trying
00:05:55.144 --> 00:05:56.879
Your nerves, always trying to stir up trouble.
00:05:56.946 --> 00:05:58.114
To stir up trouble. next time you see them
00:05:58.181 --> 00:05:59.649
Next time you see them instead of being frustrated,
00:05:59.715 --> 00:06:01.083
Instead of being frustrated, under your breath, "you're
00:06:01.150 --> 00:06:02.418
Under your breath, "you're just fertilizer.
00:06:02.485 --> 00:06:03.920
Just fertilizer. you're trying to push me
00:06:03.986 --> 00:06:04.921
You're trying to push me down, you don't realize, i'm
00:06:04.987 --> 00:06:07.123
Down, you don't realize, i'm good seed.
00:06:07.190 --> 00:06:08.324
Good seed. i have the dna of almighty
00:06:08.391 --> 00:06:10.593
God, what he's destined for
00:06:10.693 --> 00:06:13.029
God, what he's destined for you no person can stop."
00:06:13.095 --> 00:06:15.331
You no person can stop." what god has put in your
00:06:15.398 --> 00:06:16.632
What god has put in your seed, that greatness, that
00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:18.868
Seed, that greatness, that purpose, no sickness, no
00:06:18.935 --> 00:06:21.003
Purpose, no sickness, no addiction, no trouble, all
00:06:21.070 --> 00:06:23.005
Addiction, no trouble, all the forces of darkness
00:06:23.072 --> 00:06:24.574
The forces of darkness cannot keep your seed from
00:06:24.640 --> 00:06:26.676
Cannot keep your seed from flourishing.
00:06:26.742 --> 00:06:27.844
Just ask joseph.
00:06:27.944 --> 00:06:29.512
Just ask joseph. betrayed by his brothers,
00:06:29.579 --> 00:06:31.347
Betrayed by his brothers, thrown into a pit, sold into
00:06:31.414 --> 00:06:33.416
Thrown into a pit, sold into slavery, falsely accused and
00:06:33.483 --> 00:06:35.485
Slavery, falsely accused and put in prison.
00:06:35.551 --> 00:06:36.519
Put in prison. one bad break after another.
00:06:36.586 --> 00:06:38.688
One bad break after another. he could have been
00:06:38.754 --> 00:06:39.322
He could have been depressed, "god you said i
00:06:39.388 --> 00:06:41.157
Depressed, "god you said i would be in leadership.
00:06:41.224 --> 00:06:42.325
Would be in leadership. i must have heard you
00:06:42.391 --> 00:06:43.159
I must have heard you wrong."
00:06:43.226 --> 00:06:44.227
Wrong." he understood this
00:06:44.293 --> 00:06:45.328
He understood this principle, that bad
00:06:45.394 --> 00:06:46.896
Principle, that bad circumstances cannot stop
00:06:46.963 --> 00:06:49.165
Circumstances cannot stop good seed.
00:06:49.232 --> 00:06:50.366
Good seed. that negative situations are
00:06:50.433 --> 00:06:52.201
That negative situations are simply fertilizer.
00:06:52.268 --> 00:06:53.870
Simply fertilizer. they're necessary so you can
00:06:53.936 --> 00:06:55.738
They're necessary so you can bloom.
00:06:55.805 --> 00:06:56.873
When his brothers betrayed
00:06:56.973 --> 00:06:58.241
When his brothers betrayed him, instead of trying to
00:06:58.307 --> 00:06:59.842
Him, instead of trying to get even, his attitude was,
00:06:59.909 --> 00:07:02.044
Get even, his attitude was, "they just fertilized me."
00:07:02.111 --> 00:07:04.046
"they just fertilized me." when potiphar's wife falsely
00:07:04.113 --> 00:07:05.815
When potiphar's wife falsely accused him, "i'm not
00:07:05.882 --> 00:07:07.083
Accused him, "i'm not worried, more fertilizer."
00:07:07.149 --> 00:07:09.285
One day unexpectedly, the
00:07:09.385 --> 00:07:11.521
One day unexpectedly, the pharaoh called for joseph.
00:07:11.587 --> 00:07:13.523
Pharaoh called for joseph. he went to the palace, he
00:07:13.589 --> 00:07:14.991
He went to the palace, he ended up making joseph the
00:07:15.057 --> 00:07:16.325
Ended up making joseph the prime minister of egypt.
00:07:16.392 --> 00:07:18.961
Prime minister of egypt. when you understand that you
00:07:19.028 --> 00:07:20.496
When you understand that you are good seed, that what god
00:07:20.563 --> 00:07:22.532
Are good seed, that what god promised will come to pass,
00:07:22.598 --> 00:07:24.600
Then you won't complain
00:07:24.700 --> 00:07:25.835
Then you won't complain about the fertilizer.
00:07:25.902 --> 00:07:27.403
About the fertilizer. the fertilizer is necessary.
00:07:27.470 --> 00:07:30.039
The fertilizer is necessary. yes, it stinks.
00:07:30.106 --> 00:07:31.407
Yes, it stinks. yes it's uncomfortable but
00:07:31.474 --> 00:07:33.175
Yes it's uncomfortable but it's making that seed
00:07:33.242 --> 00:07:34.310
It's making that seed stronger.
00:07:34.377 --> 00:07:35.378
Stronger. it's developing your
00:07:35.444 --> 00:07:36.279
It's developing your character.
00:07:36.345 --> 00:07:37.280
Character. it's giving you endurance.
00:07:37.346 --> 00:07:39.015
It's giving you endurance. it's getting you prepared to
00:07:39.081 --> 00:07:40.416
It's getting you prepared to blossom, in position to see
00:07:40.483 --> 00:07:42.885
Blossom, in position to see the greatness of our god.
00:07:42.952 --> 00:07:45.521
The greatness of our god. i talked to a man that was
00:07:45.588 --> 00:07:46.722
I talked to a man that was so upset because his boss
00:07:46.789 --> 00:07:49.091
So upset because his boss was against him and always
00:07:49.158 --> 00:07:50.760
Was against him and always trying to make him look bad.
00:07:50.826 --> 00:07:52.562
Trying to make him look bad. i told him what i'm telling
00:07:52.628 --> 00:07:53.996
I told him what i'm telling you, it's fertilizer.
00:07:54.063 --> 00:07:55.798
You, it's fertilizer. stay on the high road and
00:07:55.865 --> 00:07:57.466
Stay on the high road and god will not only do a work
00:07:57.533 --> 00:07:59.235
God will not only do a work in you, but he'll take care
00:07:59.302 --> 00:08:01.037
In you, but he'll take care of your enemies.
00:08:01.103 --> 00:08:02.538
Of your enemies. it may stink right now, but
00:08:02.605 --> 00:08:04.473
It may stink right now, but don't worry, fertilizer
00:08:04.540 --> 00:08:06.175
Don't worry, fertilizer stinks.
00:08:06.242 --> 00:08:07.176
Stinks. that means you're about to
00:08:07.243 --> 00:08:08.578
That means you're about to see new growth.
00:08:08.644 --> 00:08:10.446
He got his passion back and
00:08:10.546 --> 00:08:12.214
He got his passion back and went to the office being his
00:08:12.281 --> 00:08:13.649
Went to the office being his best, taking the high road,
00:08:13.716 --> 00:08:16.018
Best, taking the high road, working unto god, not unto
00:08:16.085 --> 00:08:17.653
Working unto god, not unto man.
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:18.754
Man. several occasions he should
00:08:18.821 --> 00:08:20.289
Several occasions he should have been promoted but
00:08:20.356 --> 00:08:21.724
Have been promoted but because of this unfair boss
00:08:21.791 --> 00:08:23.893
Because of this unfair boss he was passed over.
00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:25.561
He was passed over. one day the ceo of the whole
00:08:25.628 --> 00:08:27.330
One day the ceo of the whole company was in town and this
00:08:27.396 --> 00:08:29.165
Company was in town and this man had to give a report.
00:08:29.231 --> 00:08:30.967
Man had to give a report. the ceo was very impressed
00:08:31.033 --> 00:08:32.802
The ceo was very impressed with his work.
00:08:32.868 --> 00:08:34.003
With his work. about a year later a
00:08:34.070 --> 00:08:35.204
About a year later a position came available that
00:08:35.271 --> 00:08:37.139
Position came available that should have gone to his
00:08:37.206 --> 00:08:38.040
Should have gone to his boss, but this ceo skipped
00:08:38.107 --> 00:08:40.843
Boss, but this ceo skipped over the boss and went
00:08:40.910 --> 00:08:42.244
Over the boss and went straight to this man and
00:08:42.311 --> 00:08:43.913
Straight to this man and offered the position to him.
00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:46.115
Now, instead of having to
00:08:46.215 --> 00:08:47.683
Now, instead of having to work for that boss that was
00:08:47.750 --> 00:08:49.251
Work for that boss that was hard to get along with, the
00:08:49.318 --> 00:08:50.720
Hard to get along with, the tables have turned, the boss
00:08:50.786 --> 00:08:52.788
Tables have turned, the boss is working for him.
00:08:52.855 --> 00:08:54.657
Is working for him. one touch of god's favor and
00:08:54.724 --> 00:08:56.726
One touch of god's favor and you'll go from the back to
00:08:56.792 --> 00:08:58.094
You'll go from the back to the front, from the prison
00:08:58.160 --> 00:08:59.962
The front, from the prison to the palace.
00:09:00.029 --> 00:09:01.764
To the palace. "joel, i've got a lot of
00:09:01.831 --> 00:09:02.832
"joel, i've got a lot of fertilizer on me, i have a
00:09:02.898 --> 00:09:04.767
Fertilizer on me, i have a lot coming against me."
00:09:04.834 --> 00:09:06.435
Lot coming against me." that tells me you're about
00:09:06.502 --> 00:09:08.070
That tells me you're about to blossom in an amazing
00:09:08.137 --> 00:09:09.772
To blossom in an amazing way.
00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:10.606
Way. you wouldn't have that
00:09:10.673 --> 00:09:11.474
You wouldn't have that difficulty, you wouldn't
00:09:11.540 --> 00:09:12.875
Difficulty, you wouldn't have all the fertilizer if
00:09:12.942 --> 00:09:14.510
Have all the fertilizer if god wasn't about to do
00:09:14.577 --> 00:09:15.811
God wasn't about to do something awesome in your
00:09:15.878 --> 00:09:17.346
Something awesome in your life.
00:09:17.413 --> 00:09:18.547
Life. i was out on my driveway the
00:09:18.614 --> 00:09:20.082
I was out on my driveway the other day, i saw this weed
00:09:20.149 --> 00:09:22.485
Other day, i saw this weed growing up in the middle of
00:09:22.551 --> 00:09:23.886
Growing up in the middle of all the concrete.
00:09:23.953 --> 00:09:25.354
All the concrete. i thought how is that
00:09:25.421 --> 00:09:26.322
I thought how is that possible?
00:09:26.389 --> 00:09:27.323
Possible? the concrete is hard,
00:09:27.390 --> 00:09:29.158
The concrete is hard, there's no good soil, the
00:09:29.225 --> 00:09:30.793
There's no good soil, the conditions are totally
00:09:30.860 --> 00:09:32.128
Conditions are totally unfavorable, but when god
00:09:32.194 --> 00:09:34.430
Unfavorable, but when god wants your seed to come up,
00:09:34.497 --> 00:09:36.165
Wants your seed to come up, concrete can't stop it.
00:09:36.232 --> 00:09:38.000
Concrete can't stop it. bad breaks can't stop it.
00:09:38.067 --> 00:09:39.935
Bad breaks can't stop it. the life god put in you is
00:09:40.002 --> 00:09:41.604
The life god put in you is more powerful than any force
00:09:41.671 --> 00:09:43.939
More powerful than any force that's trying to hold you
00:09:44.006 --> 00:09:44.907
That's trying to hold you back.
00:09:44.974 --> 00:09:46.242
Back. think about a little seed
00:09:46.308 --> 00:09:48.077
Think about a little seed even planted in the ground.
00:09:48.144 --> 00:09:50.413
Even planted in the ground. the dirt that's on top of it
00:09:50.479 --> 00:09:52.281
The dirt that's on top of it is hundreds of times
00:09:52.348 --> 00:09:53.449
Is hundreds of times heavier.
00:09:53.516 --> 00:09:54.450
Heavier. people can walk on top of
00:09:54.517 --> 00:09:55.885
People can walk on top of the dirt, push it down,
00:09:55.951 --> 00:09:57.853
The dirt, push it down, compact it, make it harder.
00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:00.122
Compact it, make it harder. the seed doesn't look like
00:10:00.189 --> 00:10:01.323
The seed doesn't look like it has a chance.
00:10:01.390 --> 00:10:02.725
It has a chance. the dirt could say, "too
00:10:02.792 --> 00:10:03.926
Bad, you're done.
00:10:04.026 --> 00:10:05.995
Bad, you're done. you'll never overpower me.
00:10:06.062 --> 00:10:07.697
You'll never overpower me. i'm bigger, stronger,
00:10:07.763 --> 00:10:09.398
I'm bigger, stronger, heavier."
00:10:09.465 --> 00:10:10.633
Heavier." but the seed doesn't worry.
00:10:10.700 --> 00:10:12.568
But the seed doesn't worry. the seed doesn't start
00:10:12.635 --> 00:10:13.536
The seed doesn't start complaining.
00:10:13.602 --> 00:10:14.236
Complaining. i thought, "i was supposed
00:10:14.303 --> 00:10:15.471
I thought, "i was supposed to grow, i thought i was
00:10:15.538 --> 00:10:17.006
To grow, i thought i was going to be a beautiful
00:10:17.073 --> 00:10:18.007
Going to be a beautiful flower, i guess it wasn't
00:10:18.074 --> 00:10:19.608
Meant to be."
00:10:19.709 --> 00:10:20.843
Meant to be." no, the seed just rests in
00:10:20.910 --> 00:10:23.012
No, the seed just rests in what god created it to be.
00:10:23.079 --> 00:10:25.281
What god created it to be. the seed doesn't have to do
00:10:25.347 --> 00:10:26.716
The seed doesn't have to do the work, it lets the life
00:10:26.782 --> 00:10:28.651
The work, it lets the life put in it by its creator do
00:10:28.718 --> 00:10:30.786
Put in it by its creator do the work.
00:10:30.853 --> 00:10:31.787
Before long that little seed
00:10:31.887 --> 00:10:33.656
Before long that little seed opens up and against all
00:10:33.723 --> 00:10:35.558
Opens up and against all odds it begins to push back
00:10:35.624 --> 00:10:37.593
Odds it begins to push back the dirt.
00:10:37.660 --> 00:10:38.594
The dirt. overtime it's standing above
00:10:38.661 --> 00:10:40.563
Overtime it's standing above the ground, with beautiful
00:10:40.629 --> 00:10:41.997
The ground, with beautiful flowers, shining brightly.
00:10:42.064 --> 00:10:44.734
You may have some dirt on
00:10:44.834 --> 00:10:46.168
You may have some dirt on you now but don't worry you
00:10:46.235 --> 00:10:48.404
You now but don't worry you are good seed.
00:10:48.471 --> 00:10:49.839
Are good seed. what god put in you is more
00:10:49.905 --> 00:10:51.774
What god put in you is more powerful than what's trying
00:10:51.841 --> 00:10:53.609
Powerful than what's trying to stop you.
00:10:53.676 --> 00:10:54.777
To stop you. like that little seed, you
00:10:54.844 --> 00:10:56.245
Like that little seed, you don't have to make it
00:10:56.312 --> 00:10:57.079
Don't have to make it happen, try to manipulate
00:10:57.146 --> 00:10:58.881
Happen, try to manipulate things, force it to work,
00:10:58.948 --> 00:11:00.716
Things, force it to work, live stressed out.
00:11:00.783 --> 00:11:02.084
Live stressed out. no, you can rest knowing
00:11:02.151 --> 00:11:03.686
No, you can rest knowing that the seed is going to do
00:11:03.753 --> 00:11:05.488
That the seed is going to do the work.
00:11:05.554 --> 00:11:07.089
The work. the scripture says, "god
00:11:07.156 --> 00:11:08.524
The scripture says, "god watches over his word to
00:11:08.591 --> 00:11:10.326
Watches over his word to perform it."
00:11:10.392 --> 00:11:11.560
Perform it." his word is called seed.
00:11:11.627 --> 00:11:13.829
His word is called seed. in the same way, god is
00:11:13.896 --> 00:11:15.431
In the same way, god is watching over your seed,
00:11:15.498 --> 00:11:17.166
Watching over your seed, he's making sure what he put
00:11:17.233 --> 00:11:18.934
He's making sure what he put in you is going to come to
00:11:19.001 --> 00:11:20.436
In you is going to come to pass.
00:11:20.503 --> 00:11:21.604
Pass. good seed is not stopped by
00:11:21.670 --> 00:11:23.873
Good seed is not stopped by bad circumstances.
00:11:23.939 --> 00:11:25.508
Bad circumstances. good seed is not stopped by
00:11:25.574 --> 00:11:27.443
Good seed is not stopped by opposition.
00:11:27.510 --> 00:11:28.978
Opposition. in life, you'll have some
00:11:29.044 --> 00:11:30.579
In life, you'll have some dirt put on you.
00:11:30.646 --> 00:11:31.914
Dirt put on you. at times, it feels like
00:11:31.981 --> 00:11:33.415
At times, it feels like you're buried.
00:11:33.482 --> 00:11:34.550
You're buried. you'll never get passed this
00:11:34.617 --> 00:11:35.818
You'll never get passed this sickness, this trouble, this
00:11:35.885 --> 00:11:37.720
Sickness, this trouble, this addiction.
00:11:37.787 --> 00:11:38.788
Addiction. it's dark, you feel pressure
00:11:38.854 --> 00:11:40.723
It's dark, you feel pressure all around, you don't see a
00:11:40.790 --> 00:11:42.191
All around, you don't see a way out.
00:11:42.258 --> 00:11:43.526
Way out. the good news is you're not
00:11:43.592 --> 00:11:45.494
The good news is you're not buried, you're planted.
00:11:45.561 --> 00:11:47.963
Buried, you're planted. the difference is when
00:11:48.030 --> 00:11:49.165
The difference is when you're buried, you're done
00:11:49.231 --> 00:11:51.033
You're buried, you're done but when you're planted,
00:11:51.100 --> 00:11:52.401
But when you're planted, you're coming up again,
00:11:52.468 --> 00:11:53.769
You're coming up again, stronger, healthier, more
00:11:53.836 --> 00:11:55.771
Stronger, healthier, more successful.
00:11:55.838 --> 00:11:57.173
Successful. but here's the key, being
00:11:57.239 --> 00:11:58.874
But here's the key, being planted feels the same as
00:11:58.941 --> 00:12:01.243
Planted feels the same as being buried.
00:12:01.310 --> 00:12:02.511
Being buried. it's dark, it's
00:12:02.578 --> 00:12:03.879
It's dark, it's uncomfortable, we don't see
00:12:03.946 --> 00:12:05.548
Uncomfortable, we don't see anything good, there's
00:12:05.614 --> 00:12:06.849
Anything good, there's pressure.
00:12:06.916 --> 00:12:08.250
Pressure. if you judge things too
00:12:08.317 --> 00:12:09.652
If you judge things too soon, you'll get
00:12:09.718 --> 00:12:10.853
Soon, you'll get discouraged, give up on your
00:12:10.920 --> 00:12:12.655
Discouraged, give up on your dreams, think it will never
00:12:12.721 --> 00:12:14.056
Dreams, think it will never work out.
00:12:14.123 --> 00:12:15.491
Work out. god has you hearing this to
00:12:15.558 --> 00:12:17.326
God has you hearing this to let you know, you're not
00:12:17.393 --> 00:12:19.161
Let you know, you're not buried, you're planted.
00:12:19.228 --> 00:12:21.797
Buried, you're planted. yes, it's uncomfortable, yes
00:12:21.864 --> 00:12:23.766
Yes, it's uncomfortable, yes you don't understand it, but
00:12:23.833 --> 00:12:25.267
You don't understand it, but this is not the end.
00:12:25.334 --> 00:12:26.969
This is not the end. the seed god put in you is
00:12:27.036 --> 00:12:29.004
The seed god put in you is about to spring forth.
00:12:29.071 --> 00:12:30.840
About to spring forth. the dreams, the health, the
00:12:30.906 --> 00:12:32.975
The dreams, the health, the freedom, the abundance, the
00:12:33.042 --> 00:12:34.643
Freedom, the abundance, the right people.
00:12:34.710 --> 00:12:36.011
Right people. don't be discouraged by the
00:12:36.078 --> 00:12:37.246
Don't be discouraged by the dirt, the seed is designed
00:12:37.313 --> 00:12:39.415
Dirt, the seed is designed to push back the dirt.
00:12:39.481 --> 00:12:41.217
To push back the dirt. it's designed to outlast the
00:12:41.283 --> 00:12:42.952
It's designed to outlast the opposition.
00:12:43.018 --> 00:12:44.053
Opposition. the seed will not fail.
00:12:44.119 --> 00:12:46.188
The seed will not fail. the life of almighty god is
00:12:46.255 --> 00:12:48.524
The life of almighty god is in that seed.
00:12:48.591 --> 00:12:50.459
My grandfather was a great
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:51.961
My grandfather was a great gardener.
00:12:52.027 --> 00:12:53.128
Gardener. he loved to plant things.

Kinds of fruits, vegetables and flowers.
00:12:57.900 --> 00:12:59.268
And flowers. one thing that made him so
00:12:59.335 --> 00:13:00.436
One thing that made him so good at gardening is he knew
00:13:00.502 --> 00:13:02.538
Good at gardening is he knew when to plant.
00:13:02.605 --> 00:13:04.139
When to plant. he knew there was a specific
00:13:04.206 --> 00:13:05.641
He knew there was a specific time to plant tomatoes, a
00:13:05.708 --> 00:13:07.776
Time to plant tomatoes, a specific time to plant
00:13:07.843 --> 00:13:09.211
Specific time to plant roses.
00:13:09.278 --> 00:13:10.246
Roses. just because he had good
00:13:10.312 --> 00:13:11.480
Just because he had good seed, if he didn't plant it
00:13:11.547 --> 00:13:13.349
Seed, if he didn't plant it at the right time, it
00:13:13.415 --> 00:13:14.850
At the right time, it wouldn't become what it
00:13:14.917 --> 00:13:15.918
Wouldn't become what it should.
00:13:15.985 --> 00:13:16.919
Should. he didn't just randomly
00:13:16.986 --> 00:13:18.153
He didn't just randomly plant whenever he felt like
00:13:18.220 --> 00:13:19.855
It, he did it strategically.
00:13:19.955 --> 00:13:22.391
It, he did it strategically. he made sure it was the
00:13:22.458 --> 00:13:24.093
He made sure it was the right season and all the
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:25.928
Right season and all the conditions were in place so
00:13:25.995 --> 00:13:27.696
Conditions were in place so the seed could grow.
00:13:27.763 --> 00:13:29.832
The seed could grow. jesus said in john 15 that
00:13:29.899 --> 00:13:32.368
Jesus said in john 15 that god is the gardener.
00:13:32.434 --> 00:13:34.803
God is the gardener. he knew exactly when to
00:13:34.870 --> 00:13:36.605
He knew exactly when to plant you.
00:13:36.672 --> 00:13:38.007
Plant you. you could have been born
00:13:38.073 --> 00:13:39.041
You could have been born three hundred years ago; you
00:13:39.108 --> 00:13:41.110
Three hundred years ago; you could have lived two hundred
00:13:41.176 --> 00:13:42.278
Could have lived two hundred years from now.
00:13:42.344 --> 00:13:43.646
Years from now. you didn't just happen to
00:13:43.712 --> 00:13:44.813
You didn't just happen to show up on planet earth
00:13:44.880 --> 00:13:46.482
Show up on planet earth today.
00:13:46.548 --> 00:13:47.483
Today. your parents just decided to
00:13:47.549 --> 00:13:48.884
Your parents just decided to have a baby.
00:13:48.951 --> 00:13:50.319
Have a baby. god knew you before you were
00:13:50.386 --> 00:13:51.987
God knew you before you were formed in your mother's
00:13:52.054 --> 00:13:53.389
Formed in your mother's womb.
00:13:53.455 --> 00:13:54.323
Womb. when god as the master
00:13:54.390 --> 00:13:56.091
When god as the master gardener thought about when
00:13:56.158 --> 00:13:57.793
Gardener thought about when to plant you, he didn't just
00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:59.762
To plant you, he didn't just randomly do it.
00:13:59.828 --> 00:14:01.230
Randomly do it. just pick a date, pick
00:14:01.297 --> 00:14:02.798
Just pick a date, pick anytime, god is strategic.
00:14:02.865 --> 00:14:05.968
Anytime, god is strategic. like my grandfather knew
00:14:06.035 --> 00:14:07.403
Like my grandfather knew there was a specific time to
00:14:07.469 --> 00:14:09.171
There was a specific time to plant, god looked down
00:14:09.238 --> 00:14:11.106
Plant, god looked down through the ages of time.
00:14:11.173 --> 00:14:13.042
Through the ages of time. he studied what would be
00:14:13.108 --> 00:14:14.209
He studied what would be going on, what the economy
00:14:14.276 --> 00:14:16.278
Going on, what the economy would be like, the culture,
00:14:16.345 --> 00:14:17.913
Would be like, the culture, the technology, the
00:14:17.980 --> 00:14:19.214
The technology, the opposition.
00:14:19.281 --> 00:14:20.516
Opposition. he took into account
00:14:20.582 --> 00:14:21.884
He took into account everything we would face
00:14:21.951 --> 00:14:24.053
Everything we would face then he put his dna in us.
00:14:24.119 --> 00:14:26.722
Then he put his dna in us. he matched us for the season
00:14:26.789 --> 00:14:29.058
He matched us for the season we would live in.
00:14:29.124 --> 00:14:30.926
We would live in. the scripture says in acts
00:14:30.993 --> 00:14:32.161
The scripture says in acts 17, "god predetermined when
00:14:32.227 --> 00:14:35.164
17, "god predetermined when you would be born, where you
00:14:35.230 --> 00:14:36.999
You would be born, where you would be born and what
00:14:37.066 --> 00:14:38.467
Would be born and what tribe, what family you would
00:14:38.534 --> 00:14:40.369
Tribe, what family you would come from."
00:14:40.436 --> 00:14:41.670
Come from." before your parents ever
00:14:41.737 --> 00:14:43.172
Before your parents ever breathed a breath, before
00:14:43.238 --> 00:14:45.040
Breathed a breath, before they ever showed up, god
00:14:45.107 --> 00:14:46.842
They ever showed up, god already knew you and chose
00:14:46.909 --> 00:14:49.044
Already knew you and chose when you would live.
00:14:49.111 --> 00:14:50.846
When you would live. he planted you for this
00:14:50.913 --> 00:14:52.681
He planted you for this time.
00:14:52.748 --> 00:14:53.482
Time. this is your moment.
00:14:53.549 --> 00:14:55.217
This is your moment. you've been equipped and
00:14:55.284 --> 00:14:56.518
You've been equipped and empowered.
00:14:56.585 --> 00:14:57.720
Empowered. he put his anointing on your
00:14:57.786 --> 00:14:59.521
He put his anointing on your life, his favor.
00:14:59.588 --> 00:15:01.323
Life, his favor. you have the talent, the

You have the talent, the courage, the connections.
00:15:02.791 --> 00:15:04.793
Courage, the connections. everything has been
00:15:04.860 --> 00:15:05.894
Everything has been strategically thought out.
00:15:05.961 --> 00:15:08.230
Strategically thought out. you're not lacking.
00:15:08.297 --> 00:15:09.832
You're not lacking. the obstacles you face are
00:15:09.898 --> 00:15:11.433
The obstacles you face are not too much for you.
00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:13.135
Not too much for you. if you couldn't handle it
00:15:13.202 --> 00:15:14.603
If you couldn't handle it god wouldn't have planted
00:15:14.670 --> 00:15:15.771
God wouldn't have planted you now.
00:15:15.838 --> 00:15:16.805
You now. if the giants were too big,
00:15:16.872 --> 00:15:18.574
If the giants were too big, you wouldn't be here.
00:15:18.640 --> 00:15:20.075
You wouldn't be here. if the dream wasn't
00:15:20.142 --> 00:15:21.243
If the dream wasn't attainable you wouldn't have
00:15:21.310 --> 00:15:22.911
Attainable you wouldn't have breath.
00:15:22.978 --> 00:15:23.846
Breath. you are here for such a time
00:15:23.912 --> 00:15:26.115
You are here for such a time as this.
00:15:26.181 --> 00:15:27.649
Sometimes the soil may feel
00:15:27.750 --> 00:15:29.718
Sometimes the soil may feel like concrete, but you have
00:15:29.785 --> 00:15:31.353
Like concrete, but you have to remind yourself, you're
00:15:31.420 --> 00:15:32.921
To remind yourself, you're still going to blossom,
00:15:32.988 --> 00:15:34.556
Still going to blossom, you're still going to
00:15:34.623 --> 00:15:35.391
You're still going to flourish.
00:15:35.457 --> 00:15:36.091
Flourish. why?
00:15:36.158 --> 00:15:36.759
Why? you are good seed.
00:15:36.825 --> 00:15:38.427
You are good seed. you've been strategically
00:15:38.494 --> 00:15:39.762
You've been strategically planted by the master
00:15:39.828 --> 00:15:41.697
Planted by the master gardener.
00:15:41.764 --> 00:15:42.831
You're not like a weed.
00:15:42.931 --> 00:15:44.400
You're not like a weed. you just randomly popped up,
00:15:44.466 --> 00:15:46.335
You just randomly popped up, randomly got here with no
00:15:46.402 --> 00:15:47.870
Randomly got here with no purpose.
00:15:47.936 --> 00:15:48.804
Purpose. your destiny has been
00:15:48.871 --> 00:15:50.439
Your destiny has been carefully planned.
00:15:50.506 --> 00:15:52.441
Carefully planned. when you understand that
00:15:52.508 --> 00:15:54.043
When you understand that you've been chosen for this
00:15:54.109 --> 00:15:55.444
You've been chosen for this time, it will give you a
00:15:55.511 --> 00:15:57.079
Time, it will give you a greater confidence.
00:15:57.146 --> 00:15:59.081
You may not have what moses
00:15:59.181 --> 00:16:00.649
You may not have what moses had; but you don't need what
00:16:00.716 --> 00:16:02.217
Had; but you don't need what he had.
00:16:02.284 --> 00:16:03.218
He had. god planted you now because
00:16:03.285 --> 00:16:05.287
God planted you now because this is the right time for
00:16:05.354 --> 00:16:07.122
This is the right time for you to flourish, to blossom,
00:16:07.189 --> 00:16:09.591
You to flourish, to blossom, to accomplish dreams, to
00:16:09.658 --> 00:16:11.527
To accomplish dreams, to overcome obstacles, to leave
00:16:11.593 --> 00:16:13.562
Overcome obstacles, to leave your mark.
00:16:13.629 --> 00:16:15.097
Your mark. even in the natural, do you
00:16:15.164 --> 00:16:16.799
Even in the natural, do you know what a miracle it is
00:16:16.865 --> 00:16:18.600
Know what a miracle it is that you were conceived?
00:16:18.667 --> 00:16:20.602
That you were conceived? when your seed was trying to
00:16:20.669 --> 00:16:22.337
When your seed was trying to connect with your mother's
00:16:22.404 --> 00:16:23.806
Connect with your mother's egg, there were two hundred
00:16:23.872 --> 00:16:25.674
Egg, there were two hundred and fifty million sperm
00:16:25.741 --> 00:16:28.043
And fifty million sperm fighting for that one spot.
00:16:28.110 --> 00:16:30.179
Fighting for that one spot. what are the chances that
00:16:30.245 --> 00:16:31.280
What are the chances that you would win?
00:16:31.346 --> 00:16:32.514
You're not an accident.
00:16:32.614 --> 00:16:34.216
You're not an accident. when it was your time, god
00:16:34.283 --> 00:16:35.717
When it was your time, god said, "alright i'm going to
00:16:35.784 --> 00:16:36.952
Said, "alright i'm going to plant them now."
00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:38.520
Plant them now." that's why you could fight
00:16:38.587 --> 00:16:40.089
That's why you could fight off two hundred and fifty
00:16:40.155 --> 00:16:41.590
Off two hundred and fifty million and your seed
00:16:41.657 --> 00:16:43.125
Million and your seed connected.
00:16:43.192 --> 00:16:43.992
Connected. you entered that womb.
00:16:44.059 --> 00:16:45.394
You entered that womb. god destined you to be here.
00:16:45.461 --> 00:16:47.830
God destined you to be here. before you showed up, you
00:16:47.896 --> 00:16:49.398
Before you showed up, you defied the odds.
00:16:49.465 --> 00:16:50.999
Defied the odds. before you were born, you
00:16:51.066 --> 00:16:52.568
Before you were born, you defeated giants.
00:16:52.634 --> 00:16:54.002
Defeated giants. you're already an overcomer.
00:16:54.069 --> 00:16:55.804
You're already an overcomer. you're already victorious.
00:16:55.871 --> 00:16:57.439
You're already victorious. you were born with favor.
00:16:57.506 --> 00:16:59.641
You were born with favor. without god's blessing, you
00:16:59.708 --> 00:17:01.176
Without god's blessing, you would have never made it
00:17:01.243 --> 00:17:02.177
Would have never made it into this world.
00:17:02.244 --> 00:17:03.612
Into this world. here's my point, god
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:05.481
Here's my point, god wouldn't have gone to all
00:17:05.547 --> 00:17:06.482
Wouldn't have gone to all that trouble if you were
00:17:06.548 --> 00:17:07.916
That trouble if you were average.
00:17:07.983 --> 00:17:09.218
Average. he wouldn't have carefully
00:17:09.284 --> 00:17:10.486
He wouldn't have carefully and strategically planned
00:17:10.552 --> 00:17:12.154
And strategically planned out your destiny, if you
00:17:12.221 --> 00:17:13.922
Out your destiny, if you were just supposed to drift
00:17:13.989 --> 00:17:15.290
Were just supposed to drift through life, overcome by
00:17:15.357 --> 00:17:16.892
Through life, overcome by problems, struggle to make
00:17:16.959 --> 00:17:18.627
Problems, struggle to make it.
00:17:18.694 --> 00:17:19.428
It. he chose you because you are
00:17:19.495 --> 00:17:21.497
He chose you because you are good seed.
00:17:21.563 --> 00:17:22.698
Good seed. you have greatness in you.
00:17:22.764 --> 00:17:24.566
You have greatness in you. you are destined to take
00:17:24.633 --> 00:17:25.801
You are destined to take your family to a new level.
00:17:25.868 --> 00:17:28.370
Your family to a new level. after all god has done,
00:17:28.437 --> 00:17:30.139
After all god has done, handpicked you for this
00:17:30.205 --> 00:17:31.440
Handpicked you for this time, put his dna in you,
00:17:31.507 --> 00:17:33.809
Time, put his dna in you, crowned you with his favor,
00:17:33.876 --> 00:17:35.644
Crowned you with his favor, don't you dare go through
00:17:35.711 --> 00:17:36.845
Don't you dare go through life thinking you're
00:17:36.912 --> 00:17:37.913
Life thinking you're ordinary,
00:17:37.980 --> 00:17:39.414
Ordinary, "well, joel, this sounds
00:17:39.481 --> 00:17:40.449
"well, joel, this sounds good but i've made a lot of
00:17:40.516 --> 00:17:42.151
Good but i've made a lot of mistakes.
00:17:42.217 --> 00:17:43.252
Mistakes. that's why i'm down on
00:17:43.318 --> 00:17:44.219
That's why i'm down on myself."
00:17:44.286 --> 00:17:45.454
Myself." that didn't change your
00:17:45.521 --> 00:17:46.455
That didn't change your seed.
00:17:46.522 --> 00:17:47.256
Seed. you are still good seed.
00:17:47.322 --> 00:17:49.725
You are still good seed. abraham is the father of our
00:17:49.791 --> 00:17:51.560
Abraham is the father of our faith.
00:17:51.627 --> 00:17:52.194
Faith. he was a great man, no
00:17:52.261 --> 00:17:53.562
He was a great man, no disrespect but abraham lied
00:17:53.629 --> 00:17:56.165
Disrespect but abraham lied and told a king that sarah
00:17:56.231 --> 00:17:58.033
And told a king that sarah was his sister and not his
00:17:58.100 --> 00:17:59.668
Was his sister and not his wife.
00:17:59.735 --> 00:18:00.769
Abraham had a baby out of
00:18:00.869 --> 00:18:02.538
Abraham had a baby out of wedlock.
00:18:02.604 --> 00:18:03.605
Wedlock. he wasn't perfect, he made
00:18:03.672 --> 00:18:05.307
He wasn't perfect, he made mistakes.
00:18:05.374 --> 00:18:06.475
Mistakes. but the scripture says,
00:18:06.542 --> 00:18:07.910
But the scripture says, "abraham did not waver in
00:18:07.976 --> 00:18:10.279
"abraham did not waver in his faith."
00:18:10.345 --> 00:18:11.747
His faith." lying seems like wavering to
00:18:11.813 --> 00:18:13.482
Lying seems like wavering to me, having a baby with
00:18:13.549 --> 00:18:15.284
Me, having a baby with someone other than your wife
00:18:15.350 --> 00:18:16.752
Someone other than your wife seems like wavering.
00:18:16.818 --> 00:18:18.487
Seems like wavering. but god doesn't judge the
00:18:18.554 --> 00:18:20.088
But god doesn't judge the way we judge.
00:18:20.155 --> 00:18:21.456
Way we judge. we look at our faults, our
00:18:21.523 --> 00:18:23.125
We look at our faults, our weaknesses, the times we've
00:18:23.192 --> 00:18:24.760
Weaknesses, the times we've failed.
00:18:24.826 --> 00:18:25.561
Failed. we let the accuser fill our
00:18:25.627 --> 00:18:27.029
We let the accuser fill our mind with condemnation, "i'm
00:18:27.095 --> 00:18:29.331
Mind with condemnation, "i'm not good seed, look at the
00:18:29.398 --> 00:18:30.966
Not good seed, look at the mistakes i've made.
00:18:31.033 --> 00:18:32.634
Mistakes i've made. i'm not good seed, i went
00:18:32.701 --> 00:18:34.203
I'm not good seed, i went through a divorce, my
00:18:34.269 --> 00:18:35.637
Business failed, i'm
00:18:35.737 --> 00:18:37.206
Business failed, i'm struggling with an
00:18:37.272 --> 00:18:37.873
Struggling with an addiction."
00:18:37.940 --> 00:18:39.274
Addiction." do you think you can do
00:18:39.341 --> 00:18:40.642
Do you think you can do something that will change
00:18:40.709 --> 00:18:42.411
Something that will change the seed god put in you?
00:18:42.477 --> 00:18:44.880
The seed god put in you? that you can override what
00:18:44.947 --> 00:18:46.481
That you can override what he breathed into your dna?
00:18:46.548 --> 00:18:49.084
He breathed into your dna? you're not that powerful.
00:18:49.151 --> 00:18:50.886
You're not that powerful. you can't change what god
00:18:50.953 --> 00:18:52.487
You can't change what god has already done.
00:18:52.554 --> 00:18:54.256
Has already done. he's saying to you what he
00:18:54.323 --> 00:18:55.557
He's saying to you what he said to jeremiah, "i knew
00:18:55.624 --> 00:18:57.593
Said to jeremiah, "i knew you before you were formed
00:18:57.659 --> 00:18:59.595
You before you were formed in your mother's womb and i
00:18:59.661 --> 00:19:01.630
In your mother's womb and i approved you."
00:19:01.697 --> 00:19:03.365
Approved you." before jeremiah did anything
00:19:03.432 --> 00:19:05.334
Before jeremiah did anything good, before he showed up on
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:07.369
Good, before he showed up on planet earth, god said,
00:19:07.436 --> 00:19:09.171
Planet earth, god said, "i've approved you."
00:19:09.238 --> 00:19:11.039
"i've approved you." too often we're trying to
00:19:11.106 --> 00:19:12.774
Too often we're trying to work for god's approval, to
00:19:12.841 --> 00:19:14.643
Work for god's approval, to be good enough, strong
00:19:14.710 --> 00:19:16.078
Be good enough, strong enough, disciplined enough.
00:19:16.144 --> 00:19:17.846
Enough, disciplined enough. the problem is we all fail,
00:19:17.913 --> 00:19:20.515
The problem is we all fail, we all make mistakes, but
00:19:20.582 --> 00:19:22.251
We all make mistakes, but that doesn't change what god
00:19:22.317 --> 00:19:24.086
That doesn't change what god put in you.
00:19:24.152 --> 00:19:25.254
Put in you. you are still good seed.
00:19:25.320 --> 00:19:27.489
You are still good seed. you can still fulfill your
00:19:27.556 --> 00:19:29.491
You can still fulfill your destiny; you can still
00:19:29.558 --> 00:19:31.059
Destiny; you can still become who you were created
00:19:31.126 --> 00:19:32.961
Become who you were created to be.
00:19:33.028 --> 00:19:34.096
To be. don't let the accuser
00:19:34.162 --> 00:19:35.163
Don't let the accuser convince you that you've
00:19:35.230 --> 00:19:36.398
Convince you that you've blown it too many times,
00:19:36.465 --> 00:19:37.699
Blown it too many times, that you don't measure up;
00:19:37.766 --> 00:19:39.635
That you don't measure up; god will never be pleased
00:19:39.701 --> 00:19:41.003
God will never be pleased with you.
00:19:41.069 --> 00:19:42.004
With you. god is saying to you today,
00:19:42.070 --> 00:19:44.039
God is saying to you today, "i've approved you.
00:19:44.106 --> 00:19:45.841
"i've approved you. my hand of favor is on you.
00:19:45.907 --> 00:19:48.277
My hand of favor is on you. i have forgiveness for your

I have forgiveness for your mistakes, mercy for your
00:19:49.711 --> 00:19:51.613
Mistakes, mercy for your failures, favor for your
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:53.415
Failures, favor for your future."
00:19:53.482 --> 00:19:54.549
Future." i wonder what would happen
00:19:54.616 --> 00:19:56.084
I wonder what would happen if every day you would start
00:19:56.151 --> 00:19:57.886
If every day you would start saying, "i am good seed."
00:19:57.953 --> 00:20:00.555
Saying, "i am good seed." when the accuser whispers,
00:20:00.622 --> 00:20:01.790
When the accuser whispers, "you're a hypocrite,
00:20:01.857 --> 00:20:03.292
"you're a hypocrite, look at your mistakes."
00:20:03.358 --> 00:20:04.526
Look at your mistakes." say it again, "father thank
00:20:04.593 --> 00:20:06.161
Say it again, "father thank you that i am good seed.
00:20:06.228 --> 00:20:08.230
You that i am good seed. that you have mercy for my
00:20:08.297 --> 00:20:09.731
That you have mercy for my mistakes.

Mistakes. that what you started in my

That what you started in my life you will finish."

Life you will finish." good seed will override

Good seed will override mistakes you've made.

Mistakes you've made. good seed overrides
00:20:17.873 --> 00:20:19.374
Good seed overrides failures, times you didn't

Failures, times you didn't measure up.

Measure up. you've been planted at this
00:20:22.110 --> 00:20:23.512
You've been planted at this time, not only because god
00:20:23.578 --> 00:20:25.881
Time, not only because god believes in you, but he's
00:20:25.947 --> 00:20:27.683
Believes in you, but he's equipped you.
00:20:27.749 --> 00:20:29.084
Equipped you. you are full of can-do

You are full of can-do power.

Power. the forces that are for you
00:20:32.154 --> 00:20:33.922
The forces that are for you are greater than forces that
00:20:33.989 --> 00:20:35.524
Are greater than forces that are trying to stop you.
00:20:35.590 --> 00:20:37.125
Are trying to stop you. god is breathing in your

Direction right now. chains that have held you

Chains that have held you back are being broken.

Back are being broken. new doors of opportunity are

New doors of opportunity are about to open.

About to open. god is about show you a sign

God is about show you a sign of his favor.

Of his favor. he's going do something

Never happened in your family.

Family. it's going to defy the odds.
