I like to start with something funny. i heard
00:00:28.585 --> 00:00:30.153
Something funny. i heard about this pastor. he was
00:00:30.220 --> 00:00:31.921
About this pastor. he was finishing up a fiery sermon
00:00:31.988 --> 00:00:33.756
Finishing up a fiery sermon on self-control. he said with
00:00:33.823 --> 00:00:35.992
On self-control. he said with great passion, “if i had all
00:00:36.059 --> 00:00:37.694
Great passion, “if i had all the beer in the world, i'd
00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:39.162
The beer in the world, i'd throw it in the river.” with
00:00:39.229 --> 00:00:40.830
Throw it in the river.” with greater fervor, “if i had all
00:00:40.897 --> 00:00:42.298
Greater fervor, “if i had all the wine in the world, i'd
00:00:42.365 --> 00:00:43.433
The wine in the world, i'd throw it in the river.”
00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:44.968
Throw it in the river.” almost at the top of his
00:00:45.034 --> 00:00:46.035
Almost at the top of his lungs, “if i had all the
00:00:46.102 --> 00:00:47.070
Lungs, “if i had all the whiskey in the world, i'd
00:00:47.137 --> 00:00:48.138
Whiskey in the world, i'd throw it in the river.” he
00:00:48.204 --> 00:00:49.772
Throw it in the river.” he sat down. the song leader
00:00:49.839 --> 00:00:51.374
Sat down. the song leader came up and said, “for our
00:00:51.441 --> 00:00:52.509
Came up and said, “for our closing song, lets sing hymn
00:00:52.575 --> 00:00:54.444
Closing song, lets sing hymn 365, ‘shall we gather at the
00:00:54.511 --> 00:00:56.880
365, ‘shall we gather at the river.'” no, we shall not.
00:00:56.946 --> 00:00:58.948
River.'” no, we shall not. (laughter) here we go ya'll!
00:00:59.015 --> 00:01:00.750
(laughter) here we go ya'll! this is my bible. i am what
00:01:00.817 --> 00:01:02.919
This is my bible. i am what it says i am. i have what it
00:01:02.986 --> 00:01:04.988
It says i am. i have what it says i have. i can do what it
00:01:05.054 --> 00:01:07.090
Says i have. i can do what it says i can do. today, i will
00:01:07.157 --> 00:01:09.292
Says i can do. today, i will be taught the word of god. i

Be taught the word of god. i boldly confess: my mind is
00:01:11.427 --> 00:01:13.763
Boldly confess: my mind is alert. my heart is receptive.
00:01:13.830 --> 00:01:16.232
Alert. my heart is receptive. i will never be the same in
00:01:16.299 --> 00:01:18.201
I will never be the same in jesus' name. god bless you.
00:01:18.268 --> 00:01:20.603
Jesus' name. god bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:22.872
I want to talk to you today about you lack nothing.
00:01:22.939 --> 00:01:25.909
About you lack nothing. sometimes we see ourselves at
00:01:25.975 --> 00:01:27.644
Sometimes we see ourselves at a disadvantage. if we had
00:01:27.710 --> 00:01:29.646
A disadvantage. if we had more talent, then we could do
00:01:29.712 --> 00:01:31.281
More talent, then we could do something great. if we had
00:01:31.347 --> 00:01:33.082
Something great. if we had more personality, more
00:01:33.149 --> 00:01:34.884
More personality, more height, more attractive, then
00:01:34.951 --> 00:01:37.187
Height, more attractive, then we could accomplish our
00:01:37.253 --> 00:01:38.087
We could accomplish our dreams. or if we had more
00:01:38.154 --> 00:01:39.923
Dreams. or if we had more funds, more resources, more
00:01:39.989 --> 00:01:42.125
Funds, more resources, more opportunity, then we could
00:01:42.192 --> 00:01:43.760
Opportunity, then we could overcome this obstacle. but
00:01:43.826 --> 00:01:45.962
Overcome this obstacle. but as long as you see yourself
00:01:46.029 --> 00:01:47.564
As long as you see yourself as lacking, at a deficit,
00:01:47.630 --> 00:01:50.400
As lacking, at a deficit, you'll make excuses to settle
00:01:50.466 --> 00:01:52.135
You'll make excuses to settle where you are and be less
00:01:52.202 --> 00:01:53.770
Where you are and be less than your best. psalm 34
00:01:53.836 --> 00:01:56.206
Than your best. psalm 34 says, “those who trust in the
00:01:56.272 --> 00:01:58.174
Says, “those who trust in the lord will never lack any good
00:01:58.241 --> 00:02:00.843
Lord will never lack any good thing.” god has given you
00:02:00.910 --> 00:02:03.079
Thing.” god has given you everything you need for your
00:02:03.146 --> 00:02:04.681
Everything you need for your destiny. he's already put in
00:02:04.747 --> 00:02:06.816
Destiny. he's already put in you the wisdom, the
00:02:06.883 --> 00:02:08.084
You the wisdom, the confidence, the strength.
00:02:08.151 --> 00:02:10.053
Confidence, the strength. he's already lined up the
00:02:10.119 --> 00:02:11.287
He's already lined up the right people, the good
00:02:11.354 --> 00:02:12.755
Right people, the good breaks, the resources. it's
00:02:12.822 --> 00:02:14.390
Breaks, the resources. it's already there. the question
00:02:14.457 --> 00:02:16.593
Already there. the question is do you recognize what you
00:02:16.659 --> 00:02:18.695
Is do you recognize what you have? are you using what god
00:02:18.761 --> 00:02:21.097
Have? are you using what god has given you? or are you
00:02:21.164 --> 00:02:23.099
Has given you? or are you overlooking it because it
00:02:23.166 --> 00:02:24.801
Overlooking it because it seems common, ordinary? are
00:02:24.867 --> 00:02:27.270
Seems common, ordinary? are you discounting yourself
00:02:27.337 --> 00:02:29.205
You discounting yourself because you feel
00:02:29.272 --> 00:02:29.839
Because you feel shortchanged, too small,
00:02:29.906 --> 00:02:32.242
Shortchanged, too small, wrong nationality? you're not
00:02:32.308 --> 00:02:33.843
Wrong nationality? you're not up to par. you have to change
00:02:33.910 --> 00:02:35.878
Up to par. you have to change your mindset. it's not enough
00:02:35.945 --> 00:02:38.281
Your mindset. it's not enough to just have faith in god.
00:02:38.348 --> 00:02:40.283
To just have faith in god. that's important, but you
00:02:40.350 --> 00:02:41.718
That's important, but you have to take it one step
00:02:41.784 --> 00:02:43.052
Have to take it one step further and have faith in
00:02:43.119 --> 00:02:45.054
Further and have faith in what god has given you.
00:02:45.121 --> 00:02:47.156
What god has given you. it's not
00:02:47.223 --> 00:02:48.057
It's not necessarily the amount of
00:02:48.124 --> 00:02:50.126
Necessarily the amount of education, the amount of
00:02:50.193 --> 00:02:51.794
Education, the amount of resources, the amount of
00:02:51.861 --> 00:02:53.196
Resources, the amount of friends, who you know, what
00:02:53.263 --> 00:02:55.431
Friends, who you know, what makes the difference is the
00:02:55.498 --> 00:02:57.066
Makes the difference is the anointing on your life. you
00:02:57.133 --> 00:02:59.435
Anointing on your life. you can have average talent, but
00:02:59.502 --> 00:03:01.771
Can have average talent, but when god favors you, you'll
00:03:01.838 --> 00:03:03.606
When god favors you, you'll go further than people with
00:03:03.673 --> 00:03:05.041
Go further than people with great talent. you can have an
00:03:05.108 --> 00:03:07.443
Great talent. you can have an extraordinary problem. you're
00:03:07.510 --> 00:03:09.579
Extraordinary problem. you're outnumbered, surrounded, but
00:03:09.646 --> 00:03:12.115
Outnumbered, surrounded, but god can take an ordinary
00:03:12.181 --> 00:03:13.650
God can take an ordinary solution, something that
00:03:13.716 --> 00:03:15.418
Solution, something that seems common and cause you to
00:03:15.485 --> 00:03:17.453
Seems common and cause you to be victorious. don't discount
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.922
Be victorious. don't discount what you have. don't overlook
00:03:19.989 --> 00:03:22.091
What you have. don't overlook what god has given you. the
00:03:22.158 --> 00:03:24.027
What god has given you. the enemy would love for us to
00:03:24.093 --> 00:03:25.328
Enemy would love for us to get stuck, thinking we're at
00:03:25.395 --> 00:03:27.163
Get stuck, thinking we're at a deficit, “when i get more
00:03:27.230 --> 00:03:29.332
A deficit, “when i get more funds, more training, more
00:03:29.399 --> 00:03:32.068
Funds, more training, more good breaks, then i can move
00:03:32.135 --> 00:03:33.836
Good breaks, then i can move forward.” we're waiting for
00:03:33.903 --> 00:03:35.471
Forward.” we're waiting for more, when in fact,
00:03:35.538 --> 00:03:37.240
More, when in fact, everything we need is already
00:03:37.307 --> 00:03:38.975
Everything we need is already there. look around at what
00:03:39.042 --> 00:03:41.377
There. look around at what god has given you. recognize
00:03:41.444 --> 00:03:43.680
God has given you. recognize what you have.
00:03:43.746 --> 00:03:45.348
What you have. moses felt like he was at a
00:03:45.415 --> 00:03:46.883
Moses felt like he was at a disadvantage. he had been out
00:03:46.949 --> 00:03:48.818
Disadvantage. he had been out in the desert for forty
00:03:48.885 --> 00:03:50.320
In the desert for forty years, hiding because of a
00:03:50.386 --> 00:03:52.255
Years, hiding because of a mistake. god came to him in a
00:03:52.322 --> 00:03:54.390
Mistake. god came to him in a burning bush and told him to
00:03:54.457 --> 00:03:56.192
Burning bush and told him to go tell the pharoah to let
00:03:56.259 --> 00:03:57.960
Go tell the pharoah to let the israelites go. they had
00:03:58.027 --> 00:03:59.595
The israelites go. they had been in slavery for many
00:03:59.662 --> 00:04:00.963
Been in slavery for many years. moses said, “god, he's
00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:03.232
Years. moses said, “god, he's not going to listen to me. i
00:04:03.299 --> 00:04:05.034
Not going to listen to me. i don't have any influence, the
00:04:05.101 --> 00:04:06.669
Don't have any influence, the right credentials. i'm not a
00:04:06.736 --> 00:04:08.237
Right credentials. i'm not a good speaker, i stutter.” he
00:04:08.304 --> 00:04:10.773
Good speaker, i stutter.” he went on and on making all
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.375
Went on and on making all these excuses. god said to
00:04:12.442 --> 00:04:14.310
These excuses. god said to him, “moses, what do you have
00:04:14.377 --> 00:04:16.446
Him, “moses, what do you have in your hand?” moses said,
00:04:16.512 --> 00:04:18.681
In your hand?” moses said, “god, it's nothing. it's just
00:04:18.748 --> 00:04:20.416
“god, it's nothing. it's just a stick; just a piece of wood
00:04:20.483 --> 00:04:22.685
A stick; just a piece of wood i got off a tree that i've
00:04:22.752 --> 00:04:24.387
I got off a tree that i've been using as my staff for my
00:04:24.454 --> 00:04:25.988
Been using as my staff for my animals.” god said, “throw it
00:04:26.055 --> 00:04:28.324
Animals.” god said, “throw it on the ground.” he threw it
00:04:28.391 --> 00:04:30.193
On the ground.” he threw it down and it turned into a
00:04:30.259 --> 00:04:31.994
Down and it turned into a snake. god took something
00:04:32.061 --> 00:04:34.630
Snake. god took something moses had that seemed common,
00:04:34.697 --> 00:04:37.200
Moses had that seemed common, ordinary, nothing special,
00:04:37.266 --> 00:04:39.569
Ordinary, nothing special, but god breathed on it and it
00:04:39.635 --> 00:04:41.471
But god breathed on it and it became extraordinary. there
00:04:41.537 --> 00:04:44.440
Became extraordinary. there are things god has put in
00:04:44.507 --> 00:04:45.908
Are things god has put in your life that seem common,
00:04:45.975 --> 00:04:48.111
Your life that seem common, normal talent, normal
00:04:48.177 --> 00:04:49.612
Normal talent, normal neighborhood, normal job.
00:04:49.679 --> 00:04:51.514
Neighborhood, normal job. it's ordinary to us but when
00:04:51.581 --> 00:04:53.683
It's ordinary to us but when god steps in supernatural
00:04:53.750 --> 00:04:55.651
God steps in supernatural things happen.
00:04:55.718 --> 00:04:57.186
Things happen. when moses saw that snake,
00:04:57.253 --> 00:04:58.788
When moses saw that snake, verse 3 says, “he was so
00:04:58.855 --> 00:05:00.523
Verse 3 says, “he was so terrified that he took off
00:05:00.590 --> 00:05:02.191
Terrified that he took off running.” you would think he
00:05:02.258 --> 00:05:04.093
Running.” you would think he would be so amazed, so
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:05.828
Would be so amazed, so inspired that he would be
00:05:05.895 --> 00:05:06.829
Inspired that he would be full of faith, but it was
00:05:06.896 --> 00:05:07.964
Full of faith, but it was just the opposite. god told
00:05:08.030 --> 00:05:10.333
Just the opposite. god told him to pick the snake up by
00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:12.001
Him to pick the snake up by the tail. it took a lot more
00:05:12.068 --> 00:05:14.203
The tail. it took a lot more faith to pick it up than to
00:05:14.270 --> 00:05:15.538
Faith to pick it up than to throw it down. when he did it
00:05:15.605 --> 00:05:17.874
Throw it down. when he did it turned back into his staff.
00:05:17.940 --> 00:05:20.576
Turned back into his staff. god was showing him that he
00:05:20.643 --> 00:05:22.378
God was showing him that he had what he needed. it looked
00:05:22.445 --> 00:05:24.514
Had what he needed. it looked ordinary, insignificant, just
00:05:24.580 --> 00:05:26.916
Ordinary, insignificant, just a stick but if it needs to be
00:05:26.983 --> 00:05:29.051
A stick but if it needs to be a key to open a door, god
00:05:29.118 --> 00:05:31.087
A key to open a door, god will turn it into a key. if
00:05:31.154 --> 00:05:32.955
Will turn it into a key. if it needs to be a shield to
00:05:33.022 --> 00:05:34.357
It needs to be a shield to protect you, god will turn it
00:05:34.424 --> 00:05:36.058
Protect you, god will turn it into a shield. if it needs to
00:05:36.125 --> 00:05:38.027
Into a shield. if it needs to be provision to fund your
00:05:38.094 --> 00:05:39.762
Be provision to fund your dream, god will turn it into
00:05:39.829 --> 00:05:41.531
Dream, god will turn it into a bank. if it needs to be an
00:05:41.597 --> 00:05:43.533
A bank. if it needs to be an auditorium to expand your
00:05:43.599 --> 00:05:45.201
Auditorium to expand your church, god will turn it into
00:05:45.268 --> 00:05:46.736
Church, god will turn it into a compaq center.
00:05:46.803 --> 00:05:48.471
A compaq center. anytime you tell god that
00:05:48.538 --> 00:05:50.072
Anytime you tell god that you're stuck, you're at a
00:05:50.139 --> 00:05:51.641
You're stuck, you're at a deficit, your lacking, god
00:05:51.707 --> 00:05:53.876
Deficit, your lacking, god asks the question, what's in
00:05:53.943 --> 00:05:55.711
Asks the question, what's in your hand? what are you
00:05:55.778 --> 00:05:57.513
Your hand? what are you discounting? what are you
00:05:57.580 --> 00:05:59.248
Discounting? what are you overlooking? “joel, i don't
00:05:59.315 --> 00:06:01.250
Overlooking? “joel, i don't have the talent, the
00:06:01.317 --> 00:06:02.819
Have the talent, the training, the connections.
00:06:02.885 --> 00:06:04.687
Training, the connections. i'm limited in my career.”
00:06:04.754 --> 00:06:06.722
I'm limited in my career.” just keep being faithful,
00:06:06.789 --> 00:06:08.524
Just keep being faithful, using what you have. god will
00:06:08.591 --> 00:06:10.760
Using what you have. god will take the ordinary and do
00:06:10.827 --> 00:06:12.495
Take the ordinary and do something extraordinary. you
00:06:12.562 --> 00:06:14.564
Something extraordinary. you do the natural and god will
00:06:14.630 --> 00:06:16.232
Do the natural and god will do the supernatural. jesus
00:06:16.299 --> 00:06:18.601
Do the supernatural. jesus told his disciples, “roll
00:06:18.668 --> 00:06:19.836
Told his disciples, “roll away the stone and i'll raise
00:06:19.902 --> 00:06:22.238
Away the stone and i'll raise lazarus.” jesus could have
00:06:22.305 --> 00:06:24.407
Lazarus.” jesus could have rolled away the stone. he's
00:06:24.474 --> 00:06:25.475
Rolled away the stone. he's god. he spoke to the storm
00:06:25.541 --> 00:06:27.677
God. he spoke to the storm and calmed the winds. why did
00:06:27.743 --> 00:06:30.213
And calmed the winds. why did he tell the disciples to do
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:31.814
He tell the disciples to do it. it's this principle, if
00:06:31.881 --> 00:06:33.883
It. it's this principle, if you'll do the ordinary, god
00:06:33.950 --> 00:06:35.818
You'll do the ordinary, god will do the extraordinary. if
00:06:35.885 --> 00:06:37.753
Will do the extraordinary. if you'll do what's common, god
00:06:37.820 --> 00:06:39.589
You'll do what's common, god will do what's uncommon. if
00:06:39.655 --> 00:06:41.390
Will do what's uncommon. if you'll throw down the staff,
00:06:41.457 --> 00:06:42.692
You'll throw down the staff, so to speak, he'll turn it
00:06:42.758 --> 00:06:44.560
So to speak, he'll turn it into what you need.
00:06:44.627 --> 00:06:46.028
Into what you need. moses spoke to the pharoah,
00:06:46.095 --> 00:06:48.197
Moses spoke to the pharoah, eventually he let the
00:06:48.264 --> 00:06:49.565
Eventually he let the israelites go. but as they
00:06:49.632 --> 00:06:51.601
Israelites go. but as they were leaving, he changed his
00:06:51.667 --> 00:06:53.202
Were leaving, he changed his mind. he sent six hundred of
00:06:53.269 --> 00:06:55.972
Mind. he sent six hundred of his most skilled warriors and
00:06:56.038 --> 00:06:57.907
His most skilled warriors and all these chariots to capture
00:06:57.974 --> 00:06:59.575
All these chariots to capture them and bring them back.
00:06:59.642 --> 00:07:01.644
Them and bring them back. moses and the israelites came
00:07:01.711 --> 00:07:03.646
Moses and the israelites came to a dead end at the red sea.
00:07:03.713 --> 00:07:05.414
To a dead end at the red sea. they had nowhere to go. the
00:07:05.481 --> 00:07:07.483
They had nowhere to go. the people started complaining.
00:07:07.550 --> 00:07:09.151
People started complaining. “moses, why did you bring us
00:07:09.218 --> 00:07:10.753
“moses, why did you bring us out here in the desert to
00:07:10.820 --> 00:07:12.522
Out here in the desert to die. we'd rather stayed in
00:07:12.588 --> 00:07:14.323
Die. we'd rather stayed in egypt as slaves than come out
00:07:14.390 --> 00:07:15.892
Egypt as slaves than come out here and be killed.” moses
00:07:15.958 --> 00:07:17.960
Here and be killed.” moses was praying, “god, do
00:07:18.027 --> 00:07:18.928
Was praying, “god, do something supernatural. send
00:07:18.995 --> 00:07:20.930
Something supernatural. send an army to rescue us, rain
00:07:20.997 --> 00:07:22.899
An army to rescue us, rain down hail upon them.” god
00:07:22.965 --> 00:07:25.434
Down hail upon them.” god said in verse 16, “moses, why
00:07:25.501 --> 00:07:27.670
Said in verse 16, “moses, why are you crying out to me?
00:07:27.737 --> 00:07:29.438
Are you crying out to me? lift up your rod, stretch
00:07:29.505 --> 00:07:31.674
Lift up your rod, stretch forth your hand and part the
00:07:31.741 --> 00:07:33.509
Forth your hand and part the sea.” i can hear moses
00:07:33.576 --> 00:07:36.045
Sea.” i can hear moses saying, “god, you mean you
00:07:36.112 --> 00:07:38.481
Saying, “god, you mean you want me to do something
00:07:38.548 --> 00:07:39.448
Want me to do something ordinary. you're going to use
00:07:39.515 --> 00:07:41.450
Ordinary. you're going to use this stick again, this common
00:07:41.517 --> 00:07:43.452
This stick again, this common thing. you want me to lift it
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:44.921
Thing. you want me to lift it up.” when he did, the waters
00:07:44.987 --> 00:07:47.723
Up.” when he did, the waters began to push back. the red
00:07:47.790 --> 00:07:49.926
Began to push back. the red sea parted; the people went
00:07:49.992 --> 00:07:51.794
Sea parted; the people went through on dry ground.
00:07:51.861 --> 00:07:54.196
Through on dry ground. we're looking for the
00:07:54.263 --> 00:07:55.164
We're looking for the spectacular but often it
00:07:55.231 --> 00:07:57.733
Spectacular but often it starts with something
00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:58.868
Starts with something ordinary. something we could
00:07:58.935 --> 00:08:01.037
Ordinary. something we could easily discount, think it's
00:08:01.103 --> 00:08:03.205
Easily discount, think it's common. what do you have in
00:08:03.272 --> 00:08:05.474
Common. what do you have in your hand? “i'm just a
00:08:05.541 --> 00:08:07.376
Your hand? “i'm just a businessperson, i'm just a
00:08:07.443 --> 00:08:09.445
Businessperson, i'm just a student, i'm just an
00:08:09.512 --> 00:08:11.047
Student, i'm just an architect, i'm just a
00:08:11.113 --> 00:08:12.048
Architect, i'm just a stay-at-home mom. i'll never
00:08:12.114 --> 00:08:13.683
Stay-at-home mom. i'll never do anything significant.”
00:08:13.749 --> 00:08:15.518
Do anything significant.” that's how moses felt. out
00:08:15.585 --> 00:08:17.486
That's how moses felt. out there in the desert, forty
00:08:17.553 --> 00:08:18.588
There in the desert, forty years. but god has put
00:08:18.654 --> 00:08:20.656
Years. but god has put something in your hand,
00:08:20.723 --> 00:08:22.525
Something in your hand, something that seems
00:08:22.592 --> 00:08:23.759
Something that seems ordinary. if you'll dare lift
00:08:23.826 --> 00:08:25.962
Ordinary. if you'll dare lift up your rod, do what he's
00:08:26.028 --> 00:08:27.930
Up your rod, do what he's asking you to do, you're
00:08:27.997 --> 00:08:29.565
Asking you to do, you're going to come into these
00:08:29.632 --> 00:08:30.733
Going to come into these destiny moments where you see
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:32.802
Destiny moments where you see red seas part, deliverance
00:08:32.868 --> 00:08:34.937
Red seas part, deliverance from enemies, gifts come out
00:08:35.004 --> 00:08:36.772
From enemies, gifts come out that you never knew you had.
00:08:36.839 --> 00:08:38.307
That you never knew you had. it's in you. god put it there
00:08:38.374 --> 00:08:41.310
It's in you. god put it there before you were born. he
00:08:41.377 --> 00:08:43.279
Before you were born. he marked you for greatness. he
00:08:43.346 --> 00:08:45.348
Marked you for greatness. he already set the time for you
00:08:45.414 --> 00:08:47.083
Already set the time for you to breakout to levels you've
00:08:47.149 --> 00:08:48.618
To breakout to levels you've never dreamed. now you have
00:08:48.684 --> 00:08:50.486
Never dreamed. now you have to get in agreement with him.
00:08:50.553 --> 00:08:52.955
To get in agreement with him. this is not going to happen
00:08:53.022 --> 00:08:54.390
This is not going to happen if we have a lack mentality.
00:08:54.457 --> 00:08:56.759
If we have a lack mentality. “i don't have the talent.
00:08:56.826 --> 00:08:58.561
“i don't have the talent. it's too big. joel, i've got
00:08:58.628 --> 00:09:00.730
It's too big. joel, i've got a red sea in front of me
00:09:00.796 --> 00:09:01.831
A red sea in front of me right now, a dead end. what
00:09:01.897 --> 00:09:04.367
Right now, a dead end. what do you expect me to do?” lift
00:09:04.433 --> 00:09:06.268
Do you expect me to do?” lift up your rod. do the natural
00:09:06.335 --> 00:09:08.838
Up your rod. do the natural and god will do the
00:09:08.904 --> 00:09:09.739
And god will do the supernatural. he'll breathe
00:09:09.805 --> 00:09:11.440
Supernatural. he'll breathe on your life in a new way.
00:09:11.507 --> 00:09:14.310
On your life in a new way. this is what happened with
00:09:14.377 --> 00:09:15.244
This is what happened with samson. he was surrounded by
00:09:15.311 --> 00:09:17.546
Samson. he was surrounded by the philistines, a huge army.
00:09:17.613 --> 00:09:20.316
The philistines, a huge army. he had no weapons, no
00:09:20.383 --> 00:09:21.717
He had no weapons, no protection. all the odds were
00:09:21.784 --> 00:09:23.686
Protection. all the odds were against him. he looked around
00:09:23.753 --> 00:09:26.088
Against him. he looked around to try to find something to
00:09:26.155 --> 00:09:27.323
To try to find something to defend himself. all he could
00:09:27.390 --> 00:09:29.525
Defend himself. all he could find was the jawbone of a
00:09:29.592 --> 00:09:31.360
Find was the jawbone of a donkey. some dead bones. i'm
00:09:31.427 --> 00:09:34.497
Donkey. some dead bones. i'm sure he thought, “oh great.
00:09:34.563 --> 00:09:36.298
Sure he thought, “oh great. god, i need a sword. i need a
00:09:36.365 --> 00:09:38.634
God, i need a sword. i need a shield. i need some troops to
00:09:38.701 --> 00:09:40.136
Shield. i need some troops to come rescue me, but all i
00:09:40.202 --> 00:09:41.804
Come rescue me, but all i have is this jawbone.” it was
00:09:41.871 --> 00:09:44.040
Have is this jawbone.” it was common. a lot of dead animals
00:09:44.106 --> 00:09:46.208
Common. a lot of dead animals out in the desert. he could
00:09:46.275 --> 00:09:47.643
Out in the desert. he could have ignored it and thought
00:09:47.710 --> 00:09:49.045
Have ignored it and thought that's of no use. but he was
00:09:49.111 --> 00:09:51.080
That's of no use. but he was smart enough to realize it
00:09:51.147 --> 00:09:53.082
Smart enough to realize it was a part of his destiny.
00:09:53.149 --> 00:09:55.351
Was a part of his destiny. what you need to accomplish
00:09:55.418 --> 00:09:57.153
What you need to accomplish your assignment will always
00:09:57.219 --> 00:09:59.188
Your assignment will always be within reach. it won't be
00:09:59.255 --> 00:10:01.557
Be within reach. it won't be far off where you can't
00:10:01.624 --> 00:10:03.092
Far off where you can't attain it. it will be close
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:04.760
Attain it. it will be close to you. pay attention to what
00:10:04.827 --> 00:10:07.630
To you. pay attention to what god brings across your path,
00:10:07.697 --> 00:10:09.799
God brings across your path, and who he brings across your
00:10:09.865 --> 00:10:11.233
And who he brings across your path. it's not there by
00:10:11.300 --> 00:10:12.935
Path. it's not there by accident. it's easy to
00:10:13.002 --> 00:10:14.770
Accident. it's easy to discount, and think, “that's
00:10:14.837 --> 00:10:15.838
Discount, and think, “that's common. that person, that
00:10:15.905 --> 00:10:18.274
Common. that person, that opportunity, this idea. it's
00:10:18.340 --> 00:10:21.010
Opportunity, this idea. it's just a stick joel. it's just
00:10:21.077 --> 00:10:23.112
Just a stick joel. it's just the jawbone of a donkey.” god
00:10:23.179 --> 00:10:25.481
The jawbone of a donkey.” god uses the ordinary, to do the
00:10:25.548 --> 00:10:27.750
Uses the ordinary, to do the extraordinary. if you'll
00:10:27.817 --> 00:10:30.086
Extraordinary. if you'll recognize what you have, and
00:10:30.152 --> 00:10:32.121
Recognize what you have, and be a good steward, then
00:10:32.188 --> 00:10:33.923
Be a good steward, then you'll see what god was up to.
00:10:33.989 --> 00:10:36.759
You'll see what god was up to. samson picked up that
00:10:36.826 --> 00:10:37.827
Samson picked up that jawbone. the scripture says
00:10:37.893 --> 00:10:40.096
Jawbone. the scripture says the spirit of god came upon
00:10:40.162 --> 00:10:42.098
The spirit of god came upon him and he defeated a
00:10:42.164 --> 00:10:44.567
Him and he defeated a thousand philistines. one
00:10:44.633 --> 00:10:46.969
Thousand philistines. one man. not with a rifle, not
00:10:47.036 --> 00:10:49.839
Man. not with a rifle, not with an army, not with fire
00:10:49.905 --> 00:10:51.907
With an army, not with fire coming down from heaven, but
00:10:51.974 --> 00:10:53.809
Coming down from heaven, but with something ordinary. a
00:10:53.876 --> 00:10:55.811
With something ordinary. a jawbone of a donkey. what god
00:10:55.878 --> 00:10:59.248
Jawbone of a donkey. what god is going to do in your life
00:10:59.315 --> 00:11:01.217
Is going to do in your life won't always happen through
00:11:01.283 --> 00:11:03.419
Won't always happen through spectacular ways. maybe some
00:11:03.486 --> 00:11:05.521
Spectacular ways. maybe some of that, but most of the time
00:11:05.588 --> 00:11:08.124
Of that, but most of the time god is going to use something
00:11:08.190 --> 00:11:09.525
God is going to use something ordinary, something within
00:11:09.592 --> 00:11:11.594
Ordinary, something within reach, something close to
00:11:11.660 --> 00:11:13.362
Reach, something close to you. god asked moses, what do
00:11:13.429 --> 00:11:16.365
You. god asked moses, what do you have in your hand? not
00:11:16.432 --> 00:11:18.868
You have in your hand? not what do you wish you had,
00:11:18.934 --> 00:11:19.969
What do you wish you had, moses? what does your
00:11:20.035 --> 00:11:21.470
Moses? what does your neighbor have? what are you
00:11:21.537 --> 00:11:23.072
Neighbor have? what are you hoping for that's far off?
00:11:23.139 --> 00:11:25.040
Hoping for that's far off? there is something close to
00:11:25.107 --> 00:11:26.442
There is something close to you. it's easy to overlook,
00:11:26.509 --> 00:11:28.644
You. it's easy to overlook, it's easy to discount. but
00:11:28.711 --> 00:11:30.479
It's easy to discount. but god put it there. it's
00:11:30.546 --> 00:11:32.081
God put it there. it's instrumental in you reaching
00:11:32.148 --> 00:11:33.883
Instrumental in you reaching your destiny.
00:11:33.949 --> 00:11:34.550
Your destiny. there was a young woman named
00:11:34.617 --> 00:11:37.253
There was a young woman named mary bethune, born in south
00:11:37.319 --> 00:11:39.522
Mary bethune, born in south carolina in the late 1800's.
00:11:39.588 --> 00:11:43.159
Carolina in the late 1800's. she was the youngest of
00:11:43.225 --> 00:11:44.160
She was the youngest of seventeen children. her
00:11:44.226 --> 00:11:45.961
Seventeen children. her parents were slaves. despite

Raised right. none of that has stopped your purpose.

Has stopped your purpose. nothing you've been through
00:13:50.753 --> 00:13:52.121
Nothing you've been through has canceled your assignment.

What you have. it may seem common. just some cardboard
00:14:03.265 --> 00:14:05.267
Common. just some cardboard boxes. just the jawbone of a
00:14:05.334 --> 00:14:07.469
Boxes. just the jawbone of a donkey. just this stick, this
00:14:07.536 --> 00:14:09.571
Donkey. just this stick, this rod. yes, but when you use
00:14:09.638 --> 00:14:11.607
Rod. yes, but when you use it, red seas part, enemies
00:14:11.674 --> 00:14:14.009
It, red seas part, enemies are defeated, doors will
00:14:14.076 --> 00:14:15.511
Are defeated, doors will open, opportunity that
00:14:15.577 --> 00:14:17.446
Open, opportunity that thrusts you into your

Thrusts you into your destiny. what's in your hand?

Destiny. what's in your hand? is there something you're
00:14:21.016 --> 00:14:22.518
Is there something you're overlooking. it seems
00:14:22.584 --> 00:14:24.253
Overlooking. it seems ordinary, but when you do the
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.288
Ordinary, but when you do the natural, god will do the
00:14:26.355 --> 00:14:28.057
Natural, god will do the supernatural. when you set up
00:14:28.123 --> 00:14:30.125
Supernatural. when you set up the cardboard desk, when you
00:14:30.192 --> 00:14:31.760
The cardboard desk, when you drain the ink, god will bring
00:14:31.827 --> 00:14:33.696
Drain the ink, god will bring the college president
00:14:33.762 --> 00:14:34.964
The college president position, more than you can
00:14:35.030 --> 00:14:36.398
Position, more than you can imagine.
00:14:36.465 --> 00:14:37.132
Imagine. in john chapter 6, a great
00:14:37.199 --> 00:14:40.169
In john chapter 6, a great crowd had followed jesus to
00:14:40.235 --> 00:14:42.071
Crowd had followed jesus to this remote place to hear him
00:14:42.137 --> 00:14:44.006
This remote place to hear him teach. it was getting late in
00:14:44.073 --> 00:14:45.607
Teach. it was getting late in the day, almost dark. jesus
00:14:45.674 --> 00:14:48.644
The day, almost dark. jesus said to his disciples, “you
00:14:48.711 --> 00:14:50.446
Said to his disciples, “you need to feed the people.
00:14:50.512 --> 00:14:51.914
Need to feed the people. they're too tired to go home
00:14:51.981 --> 00:14:53.215
They're too tired to go home hungry.” they said in effect,
00:14:53.282 --> 00:14:55.484
Hungry.” they said in effect, “are you kidding, jesus?
00:14:55.551 --> 00:14:56.919
“are you kidding, jesus? there are fifteen thousand
00:14:56.986 --> 00:14:58.187
There are fifteen thousand people here. we're out in the
00:14:58.253 --> 00:15:00.089
People here. we're out in the desert. the nearest walmart
00:15:00.155 --> 00:15:02.091
Desert. the nearest walmart is three hundred miles. it's
00:15:02.157 --> 00:15:03.959
Is three hundred miles. it's sunday, chick fil a is not
00:15:04.026 --> 00:15:05.227
Sunday, chick fil a is not even open.” they came up with
00:15:05.294 --> 00:15:07.363
Even open.” they came up with all these good reasons why it
00:15:07.429 --> 00:15:09.398
All these good reasons why it was impossible. jesus asked
00:15:09.465 --> 00:15:11.767
Was impossible. jesus asked them, “what do you have?”
00:15:11.834 --> 00:15:14.003
Them, “what do you have?” they went out in the crowd,
00:15:14.069 --> 00:15:15.671
They went out in the crowd, came back in a few minutes,
00:15:15.738 --> 00:15:16.805
Came back in a few minutes, and said, “all we could find
00:15:16.872 --> 00:15:17.873
And said, “all we could find was this little boy's lunch.
00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:20.042
Was this little boy's lunch. five loaves of bread and two
00:15:20.109 --> 00:15:21.377
Five loaves of bread and two fish, but what is that among
00:15:21.443 --> 00:15:24.046
Fish, but what is that among so many?” that was a logical
00:15:24.113 --> 00:15:26.482
So many?” that was a logical question. what good is this
00:15:26.548 --> 00:15:28.283
Question. what good is this one lunch going to do when we
00:15:28.350 --> 00:15:30.252
One lunch going to do when we need lunch for fifteen
00:15:30.319 --> 00:15:31.320
Need lunch for fifteen thousand people. but god
00:15:31.387 --> 00:15:33.522
Thousand people. but god doesn't ask you to figure out
00:15:33.589 --> 00:15:34.990
Doesn't ask you to figure out how it's going to happen, he
00:15:35.057 --> 00:15:36.992
How it's going to happen, he just asks you to use what
00:15:37.059 --> 00:15:38.694
Just asks you to use what he's given you. to not
00:15:38.761 --> 00:15:40.529
He's given you. to not discount it, not live
00:15:40.596 --> 00:15:42.498
Discount it, not live thinking you're at a deficit,
00:15:42.564 --> 00:15:44.400
Thinking you're at a deficit, but to believe that he can
00:15:44.466 --> 00:15:45.834
But to believe that he can take what seems small and
00:15:45.901 --> 00:15:48.003
Take what seems small and make something great out of
00:15:48.070 --> 00:15:49.638
Make something great out of it.
00:15:49.705 --> 00:15:50.339
It. same thing when i stepped up.
00:15:50.406 --> 00:15:52.374
Same thing when i stepped up. my mind said, “what is this
00:15:52.441 --> 00:15:54.843
My mind said, “what is this among so many? god all i have
00:15:54.910 --> 00:15:57.279
Among so many? god all i have is five loaves and two fish.
00:15:57.346 --> 00:15:59.615
Is five loaves and two fish. we need something so much
00:15:59.681 --> 00:16:00.516
We need something so much greater, more talent, more
00:16:00.582 --> 00:16:02.317
Greater, more talent, more wisdom, more training.” god
00:16:02.384 --> 00:16:04.787
Wisdom, more training.” god is not asking you for what
00:16:04.853 --> 00:16:06.255
Is not asking you for what you don't have, he's asking
00:16:06.321 --> 00:16:08.057
You don't have, he's asking you to trust him with what
00:16:08.123 --> 00:16:09.858
You to trust him with what you do have, with what's in
00:16:09.925 --> 00:16:11.760
You do have, with what's in reach. “joel, all i have is a
00:16:11.827 --> 00:16:14.163
Reach. “joel, all i have is a little lunch.” god can take
00:16:14.229 --> 00:16:15.998
Little lunch.” god can take the little and multiply it.
00:16:16.065 --> 00:16:18.167
The little and multiply it. “i just have a little faith.”
00:16:18.233 --> 00:16:19.768
“i just have a little faith.” a little faith can move a
00:16:19.835 --> 00:16:21.070
A little faith can move a mountain. “i just have a
00:16:21.136 --> 00:16:22.838
Mountain. “i just have a walking stick.” you can part
00:16:22.905 --> 00:16:24.506
Walking stick.” you can part a red sea. “i just have a
00:16:24.573 --> 00:16:26.608
A red sea. “i just have a jawbone of a donkey,
00:16:26.675 --> 00:16:28.043
Jawbone of a donkey, something i found close.” you
00:16:28.110 --> 00:16:29.978
Something i found close.” you can defeat an army. you can
00:16:30.045 --> 00:16:31.713
Can defeat an army. you can beat the cancer. you can
00:16:31.780 --> 00:16:33.315
Beat the cancer. you can break the addiction. you're
00:16:33.382 --> 00:16:35.150
Break the addiction. you're not lacking. you have exactly
00:16:35.217 --> 00:16:37.486
Not lacking. you have exactly what you need. sometimes, on
00:16:37.553 --> 00:16:39.888
What you need. sometimes, on purpose, god will let you be
00:16:39.955 --> 00:16:41.723
Purpose, god will let you be outnumbered, he'll let the
00:16:41.790 --> 00:16:43.592
Outnumbered, he'll let the door close, let you not feel
00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:45.594
Door close, let you not feel qualified for the position.
00:16:45.661 --> 00:16:47.629
Qualified for the position. he takes that small and
00:16:47.696 --> 00:16:49.598
He takes that small and breathes on it.
00:16:49.665 --> 00:16:51.366
Breathes on it. jesus prayed over the five
00:16:51.433 --> 00:16:52.835
Jesus prayed over the five loaves and two fish. they
00:16:52.901 --> 00:16:55.437
Loaves and two fish. they multiplied. they fed all

Multiplied. they fed all fifteen thousand people, plus
00:16:56.738 --> 00:16:59.007
Fifteen thousand people, plus they had twelve baskets full
00:16:59.074 --> 00:17:00.642
They had twelve baskets full left over. but the disciples
00:17:00.709 --> 00:17:03.378
Left over. but the disciples almost talked themselves out
00:17:03.445 --> 00:17:04.913
Almost talked themselves out of it, thought they were at
00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:06.949
Of it, thought they were at too big of a deficit. but the
00:17:07.015 --> 00:17:09.485
Too big of a deficit. but the deficit is a sign that god is
00:17:09.551 --> 00:17:11.587
Deficit is a sign that god is about to do something
00:17:11.653 --> 00:17:12.588
About to do something amazing. many of you have
00:17:12.654 --> 00:17:15.557

00:17:39.014 --> 00:17:40.849
Is gone. breathe on your children, they're back on
00:17:40.916 --> 00:17:42.451
Children, they're back on track, fulfilling their
00:17:42.518 --> 00:17:43.685
Track, fulfilling their purpose. don't be fooled by
00:17:43.752 --> 00:17:46.054
Purpose. don't be fooled by the facts. every circumstance
00:17:46.121 --> 00:17:48.524
The facts. every circumstance may say, “you're at a
00:17:48.590 --> 00:17:49.725
May say, “you're at a deficit. you just have five
00:17:49.791 --> 00:17:51.960
Deficit. you just have five loaves and two fish. you're
00:17:52.027 --> 00:17:53.562
Loaves and two fish. you're lacking talent, lacking
00:17:53.629 --> 00:17:54.930
Lacking talent, lacking funds, lacking confidence.”
00:17:54.997 --> 00:17:56.798
Funds, lacking confidence.” no, your time is coming. you
00:17:56.865 --> 00:17:58.867
No, your time is coming. you keep doing the natural, using
00:17:58.934 --> 00:18:01.136
Keep doing the natural, using what you have, god's going to
00:18:01.203 --> 00:18:02.404
What you have, god's going to step in and do the
00:18:02.471 --> 00:18:03.672
Step in and do the supernatural, take you where
00:18:03.739 --> 00:18:05.707
Supernatural, take you where you can't go on your own.
00:18:05.774 --> 00:18:08.377
You can't go on your own. i talked to a man, he's an
00:18:08.443 --> 00:18:09.678
I talked to a man, he's an attorney. he's always had a
00:18:09.745 --> 00:18:11.513
Attorney. he's always had a desire to be in the sports
00:18:11.580 --> 00:18:13.115
Desire to be in the sports industry, but he didn't know
00:18:13.182 --> 00:18:14.883
Industry, but he didn't know anyone in that field. he was
00:18:14.950 --> 00:18:17.219
Anyone in that field. he was living in a small town where
00:18:17.286 --> 00:18:18.887
Living in a small town where he was raised, working there.
00:18:18.954 --> 00:18:21.757
He was raised, working there. several times a week, he
00:18:21.823 --> 00:18:23.125
Several times a week, he would go to the gym to play
00:18:23.192 --> 00:18:24.293
Would go to the gym to play basketball. he had played
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:26.328
Basketball. he had played with this same group of men
00:18:26.395 --> 00:18:27.629
With this same group of men for a few years. one day,
00:18:27.696 --> 00:18:29.498
For a few years. one day, this older gentleman asked
00:18:29.565 --> 00:18:31.333
This older gentleman asked him what he did for living.
00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:33.202
Him what he did for living. he told how he was an
00:18:33.268 --> 00:18:34.236
He told how he was an attorney doing corporate law.
00:18:34.303 --> 00:18:36.805
Attorney doing corporate law. but he said, “my dream is to
00:18:36.872 --> 00:18:38.207
But he said, “my dream is to be a sports agent. i just
00:18:38.273 --> 00:18:40.275
Be a sports agent. i just don't have any connections.”
00:18:40.342 --> 00:18:42.444
Don't have any connections.” the man said, “that's
00:18:42.511 --> 00:18:43.178
The man said, “that's interesting. my nephew is the
00:18:43.245 --> 00:18:45.347
Interesting. my nephew is the number one college football
00:18:45.414 --> 00:18:47.082
Number one college football player in the nation. he was
00:18:47.149 --> 00:18:49.251
Player in the nation. he was just asking me about who i
00:18:49.318 --> 00:18:51.086
Just asking me about who i knew that could represent
00:18:51.153 --> 00:18:52.788
Knew that could represent him. i'm going to have him
00:18:52.854 --> 00:18:54.156
Him. i'm going to have him call you.” that was his first
00:18:54.223 --> 00:18:56.558
Call you.” that was his first sports client. his business
00:18:56.625 --> 00:18:58.527
Sports client. his business grew and grew. today he's one
00:18:58.594 --> 00:19:00.829
Grew and grew. today he's one of the top sports agents in
00:19:00.896 --> 00:19:02.564
Of the top sports agents in the world. he said, “joel i
00:19:02.631 --> 00:19:04.099
The world. he said, “joel i never dreamed i would be
00:19:04.166 --> 00:19:05.734
Never dreamed i would be where i am.”
00:19:05.801 --> 00:19:06.735
Where i am.” it seemed like he was
00:19:06.802 --> 00:19:08.136
It seemed like he was lacking, didn't know anyone,
00:19:08.203 --> 00:19:10.405
Lacking, didn't know anyone, in a small town, then that
00:19:10.472 --> 00:19:12.074
In a small town, then that one good break, that one
00:19:12.140 --> 00:19:13.875
One good break, that one connection. you don't know
00:19:13.942 --> 00:19:16.445
Connection. you don't know what god is up to. you don't
00:19:16.511 --> 00:19:18.714
What god is up to. you don't know the doors he's about to
00:19:18.780 --> 00:19:20.215
Know the doors he's about to open, the people you're about
00:19:20.282 --> 00:19:22.217
Open, the people you're about to meet, the favor you're
00:19:22.284 --> 00:19:23.685
To meet, the favor you're about to see. it may seem
00:19:23.752 --> 00:19:25.988
About to see. it may seem like you're at a deficit.
00:19:26.054 --> 00:19:28.056
Like you're at a deficit. what's in your heart is much
00:19:28.123 --> 00:19:29.324
What's in your heart is much bigger than you think could
00:19:29.391 --> 00:19:30.859
Bigger than you think could ever happen, just stay
00:19:30.926 --> 00:19:32.628
Ever happen, just stay faithful where you are,
00:19:32.694 --> 00:19:34.563
Faithful where you are, keeping god first place,
00:19:34.630 --> 00:19:36.431
Keeping god first place, being your best with what
00:19:36.498 --> 00:19:37.733
Being your best with what he's given you, and you're
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:39.368
He's given you, and you're going to come in to your
00:19:39.434 --> 00:19:40.202
Going to come in to your destiny moments, where
00:19:40.269 --> 00:19:42.137
Destiny moments, where suddenly the red sea parts.
00:19:42.204 --> 00:19:44.406
Suddenly the red sea parts. you're doing the ordinary,
00:19:44.473 --> 00:19:45.874
You're doing the ordinary, and god steps in and does the
00:19:45.941 --> 00:19:47.609
And god steps in and does the extraordinary. you're
00:19:47.676 --> 00:19:49.244
Extraordinary. you're gathering the five loaves and
00:19:49.311 --> 00:19:50.646
Gathering the five loaves and two fish, not complaining,
00:19:50.712 --> 00:19:52.814
Two fish, not complaining, not discounting it, then god
00:19:52.881 --> 00:19:54.750
Not discounting it, then god multiplies it and gives your
00:19:54.816 --> 00:19:56.451
Multiplies it and gives your supernatural increase,
00:19:56.518 --> 00:19:58.186
Supernatural increase, supernatural provision, the
00:19:58.253 --> 00:19:59.988
Supernatural provision, the right people show up, favor
00:20:00.055 --> 00:20:02.190
Right people show up, favor that you can't explain.
00:20:02.257 --> 00:20:03.592
That you can't explain. in 2 kings chapter 4, there
00:20:03.659 --> 00:20:06.428
In 2 kings chapter 4, there was this widow that was
00:20:06.495 --> 00:20:07.996
Was this widow that was trying to survive. her
00:20:08.063 --> 00:20:09.798
Trying to survive. her husband had served with the
00:20:09.865 --> 00:20:11.600
Husband had served with the prophet elisha, but he had
00:20:11.667 --> 00:20:13.468
Prophet elisha, but he had passed. he left her some
00:20:13.535 --> 00:20:15.470
Passed. he left her some funds to live on, she'd used
00:20:15.537 --> 00:20:18.206
Funds to live on, she'd used all that up. now she didn't
00:20:18.273 --> 00:20:20.108
All that up. now she didn't know how she was going to
00:20:20.175 --> 00:20:21.043
Know how she was going to make it. in those days if you
00:20:21.109 --> 00:20:23.078
Make it. in those days if you couldn't pay your debts, they
00:20:23.145 --> 00:20:25.013
Couldn't pay your debts, they would take your family
00:20:25.080 --> 00:20:26.081
Would take your family members and they would have
00:20:26.148 --> 00:20:27.482
Members and they would have to work for the payment.
00:20:27.549 --> 00:20:29.451
To work for the payment. these creditors were coming
00:20:29.518 --> 00:20:31.086
These creditors were coming for her two sons. she was so
00:20:31.153 --> 00:20:33.522
For her two sons. she was so distraught. she went to the
00:20:33.588 --> 00:20:35.324
Distraught. she went to the prophet elisha and explained
00:20:35.390 --> 00:20:36.858
Prophet elisha and explained what was happening. elisha
00:20:36.925 --> 00:20:38.627
What was happening. elisha said to her, “what do you
00:20:38.694 --> 00:20:40.329
Said to her, “what do you have in your house.” verse 2,
00:20:40.395 --> 00:20:43.098
Have in your house.” verse 2, she answered, “nothing at
00:20:43.165 --> 00:20:44.666
She answered, “nothing at all.” she was saying, “we're
00:20:44.733 --> 00:20:46.468
All.” she was saying, “we're done. it's over. there's
00:20:46.535 --> 00:20:48.537
Done. it's over. there's nothing here.” then she
00:20:48.603 --> 00:20:50.405
Nothing here.” then she thought about it and said,
00:20:50.472 --> 00:20:51.273
Thought about it and said, “wait a minute. nothing,
00:20:51.340 --> 00:20:52.874
“wait a minute. nothing, except a small jar of oil.”
00:20:52.941 --> 00:20:56.078
Except a small jar of oil.” elisha said, “that's all we
00:20:56.144 --> 00:20:57.679
Elisha said, “that's all we need.” just a little oil. he
00:20:57.746 --> 00:21:00.282
Need.” just a little oil. he told her to go out and borrow
00:21:00.349 --> 00:21:02.417
Told her to go out and borrow as many large empty
00:21:02.484 --> 00:21:04.486
As many large empty containers as she could find.
00:21:04.553 --> 00:21:07.122
Containers as she could find. she and her sons went out,
00:21:07.189 --> 00:21:08.657
She and her sons went out, knocked on neighbor's doors.
00:21:08.724 --> 00:21:10.325
Knocked on neighbor's doors. they brought back all these
00:21:10.392 --> 00:21:11.326
They brought back all these containers. elisha said, “now
00:21:11.393 --> 00:21:14.096
Containers. elisha said, “now take the little oil that you
00:21:14.162 --> 00:21:15.364
Take the little oil that you have and pour it into the
00:21:15.430 --> 00:21:17.299
Have and pour it into the empty containers.” that
00:21:17.366 --> 00:21:19.201
Empty containers.” that didn't make sense, but she
00:21:19.267 --> 00:21:20.769
Didn't make sense, but she obeyed. as she did, the oil
00:21:20.836 --> 00:21:23.605
Obeyed. as she did, the oil never ran out. god multiplied
00:21:23.672 --> 00:21:26.007
Never ran out. god multiplied it. she kept pouring and
00:21:26.074 --> 00:21:27.509
It. she kept pouring and pouring until all the
00:21:27.576 --> 00:21:29.044
Pouring until all the containers were filled. she
00:21:29.111 --> 00:21:31.079
Containers were filled. she went out and sold the oil,
00:21:31.146 --> 00:21:32.948
Went out and sold the oil, paid off all her debts, and
00:21:33.014 --> 00:21:34.616
Paid off all her debts, and had plenty to live on.
00:21:34.683 --> 00:21:37.085
Had plenty to live on. when elisha asked her what
00:21:37.152 --> 00:21:39.054
When elisha asked her what she had in her house, at
00:21:39.121 --> 00:21:40.489
She had in her house, at first she said, “nothing at
00:21:40.555 --> 00:21:42.057
First she said, “nothing at all.” she discounted the oil.
00:21:42.124 --> 00:21:44.493
All.” she discounted the oil. it was too small. not
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:46.361
It was too small. not significant, but the truth
00:21:46.428 --> 00:21:48.497
Significant, but the truth is, that's all god needed.
00:21:48.563 --> 00:21:51.299
Is, that's all god needed. she was looking on the
00:21:51.366 --> 00:21:52.401
She was looking on the outside, hoping elisha would
00:21:52.467 --> 00:21:54.403
Outside, hoping elisha would save her. but what she needed
00:21:54.469 --> 00:21:56.872
Save her. but what she needed was on the inside. it was
00:21:56.938 --> 00:21:58.907
Was on the inside. it was within reach, in her house,
00:21:58.974 --> 00:22:01.176
Within reach, in her house, but it was common, ordinary.
00:22:01.243 --> 00:22:03.278
But it was common, ordinary. just a little oil. “this
00:22:03.345 --> 00:22:05.147
Just a little oil. “this can't do any good. i've got a
00:22:05.213 --> 00:22:06.648
Can't do any good. i've got a big problem.” but when you
00:22:06.715 --> 00:22:08.717
Big problem.” but when you use what you have god will
00:22:08.784 --> 00:22:10.752
Use what you have god will breathe on it.
00:22:10.819 --> 00:22:12.521
Breathe on it. some of us are like this
00:22:12.587 --> 00:22:13.955
Some of us are like this woman. what do you have in
00:22:14.022 --> 00:22:15.357
Woman. what do you have in your house? “i don't have
00:22:15.424 --> 00:22:16.758
Your house? “i don't have anything, joel. i'm not that
00:22:16.825 --> 00:22:18.693
Anything, joel. i'm not that talented. i don't have a good
00:22:18.760 --> 00:22:20.429
Talented. i don't have a good personality. i've got an okay
00:22:20.495 --> 00:22:21.763
Personality. i've got an okay job. it's nothing.” if you
00:22:21.830 --> 00:22:24.366
Job. it's nothing.” if you only knew what god can do
00:22:24.433 --> 00:22:26.234
Only knew what god can do with a little, a little jar
00:22:26.301 --> 00:22:28.603
With a little, a little jar of oil, a little boy's lunch,
00:22:28.670 --> 00:22:31.373
Of oil, a little boy's lunch, a little faith, a little
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:33.108
A little faith, a little talent. god asked moses,
00:22:33.175 --> 00:22:36.044
Talent. god asked moses, “what's in your hand?” he
00:22:36.111 --> 00:22:37.712
“what's in your hand?” he said, “something ordinary.”
00:22:37.779 --> 00:22:39.548
Said, “something ordinary.” he asked this woman, “what's
00:22:39.614 --> 00:22:40.882
He asked this woman, “what's in your house?” she said,
00:22:40.949 --> 00:22:42.350
In your house?” she said, “nothing at all.” both times
00:22:42.417 --> 00:22:44.920
“nothing at all.” both times they had what they needed,
00:22:44.986 --> 00:22:46.855
They had what they needed, they just didn't recognize
00:22:46.922 --> 00:22:48.089
They just didn't recognize it. moses had a rod that
00:22:48.156 --> 00:22:50.325
It. moses had a rod that would part a sea, a stick
00:22:50.392 --> 00:22:52.327
Would part a sea, a stick that we would be talking
00:22:52.394 --> 00:22:53.161
That we would be talking about thousands of years
00:22:53.228 --> 00:22:54.496
About thousands of years later. this widow had a
00:22:54.563 --> 00:22:56.498
Later. this widow had a little jar oil, oil that
00:22:56.565 --> 00:22:59.034
Little jar oil, oil that would sustain her for years
00:22:59.100 --> 00:23:01.436
Would sustain her for years until the famine was over.
00:23:01.503 --> 00:23:03.805
Until the famine was over. what's in your hand? what's
00:23:03.872 --> 00:23:05.674
What's in your hand? what's in your house? what you need
00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:08.243
In your house? what you need is close to you. it's within
00:23:08.310 --> 00:23:10.278
Is close to you. it's within reach. you are not lacking.
00:23:10.345 --> 00:23:12.547
Reach. you are not lacking. you're not at a deficit.
00:23:12.614 --> 00:23:14.416
You're not at a deficit. you're in position to see the
00:23:14.483 --> 00:23:16.551
You're in position to see the hand of god do something
00:23:16.618 --> 00:23:18.320
Hand of god do something supernatural. now do your
