  • (upbeat music)
  • 00:00:01.383 --> 00:00:16.532
  • - hey, i wanna tell you that i'm so excited
  • 00:00:17.433 --> 00:00:19.134
  • That you are here with us
  • 00:00:19.134 --> 00:00:20.536
  • And you see behind me plastered all over this big wall,
  • 00:00:20.536 --> 00:00:23.005
  • "you vs. you."
  • 00:00:23.005 --> 00:00:24.173
  • We are well into this teaching series.
  • 00:00:24.173 --> 00:00:26.442
  • And you know what?
  • 00:00:26.442 --> 00:00:27.409
  • Sometime, the dreaded question
  • 00:00:27.409 --> 00:00:28.877
  • That you can ask yourself is, you know, who am i?
  • 00:00:28.877 --> 00:00:32.147
  • Who am i really?
  • 00:00:32.147 --> 00:00:33.949
  • You know what defines you?
  • 00:00:33.949 --> 00:00:35.084
  • What defines you are your beliefs.
  • 00:00:35.084 --> 00:00:36.452
  • What defines you are your convictions.
  • 00:00:36.452 --> 00:00:38.387
  • What defines you are your likes and dislike?
  • 00:00:38.387 --> 00:00:40.956
  • When i say your name,
  • 00:00:40.956 --> 00:00:43.158
  • What are those things that define who you are as a person?
  • 00:00:43.158 --> 00:00:46.361
  • And have you evaluated what those things are?
  • 00:00:46.361 --> 00:00:48.530
  • Have you done that internal search?
  • 00:00:48.530 --> 00:00:50.532
  • Are you still going around
  • 00:00:50.532 --> 00:00:51.733
  • Looking for validation in other groups
  • 00:00:51.733 --> 00:00:53.435
  • And becoming whatever environment you're in
  • 00:00:53.435 --> 00:00:56.071
  • Or do you know who you are?
  • 00:00:56.071 --> 00:00:57.773
  • Because when you know who you are,
  • 00:00:57.773 --> 00:00:59.208
  • You don't become an environment, you change it.
  • 00:00:59.208 --> 00:01:01.243
  • And so, i'm asking you now,
  • 00:01:01.243 --> 00:01:02.711
  • Are you ready to continue this journey
  • 00:01:02.711 --> 00:01:04.646
  • And finding out who did god really intended you to be?
  • 00:01:04.646 --> 00:01:08.450
  • I ask you the question, if that happened to happen,
  • 00:01:08.450 --> 00:01:11.019
  • What would life really be like
  • 00:01:11.019 --> 00:01:12.354
  • If you haven't have gone through that,
  • 00:01:12.354 --> 00:01:14.089
  • Where would you be right now?
  • 00:01:14.089 --> 00:01:15.824
  • If you hadn't have been seen with that trauma
  • 00:01:15.824 --> 00:01:18.327
  • Or gone through that experience,
  • 00:01:18.327 --> 00:01:20.229
  • What would things be like right now?
  • 00:01:20.229 --> 00:01:22.631
  • Well, it can be that because god
  • 00:01:22.631 --> 00:01:24.833
  • Can take the worst of things and restore them
  • 00:01:24.833 --> 00:01:27.302
  • And bring the greatest of things out of them.
  • 00:01:27.302 --> 00:01:29.338
  • Take this journey with me. discover you versus you.
  • 00:01:29.338 --> 00:01:33.709
  • "for a man indeed ought not to cover his head
  • 00:01:34.643 --> 00:01:37.079
  • Since he is the image and glory of god,
  • 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:41.383
  • The woman is the glory of man.
  • 00:01:42.017 --> 00:01:45.053
  • For a man is not from a woman, but a woman from a man.
  • 00:01:46.155 --> 00:01:49.758
  • Nor was a man created for the woman,
  • 00:01:50.526 --> 00:01:52.427
  • But the woman for the man."
  • 00:01:52.427 --> 00:01:53.562
  • That's all i need.
  • 00:01:53.562 --> 00:01:55.063
  • That's enough preacher of my day right there.
  • 00:01:55.063 --> 00:01:58.500
  • The word glory means the place,
  • 00:01:59.134 --> 00:02:02.471
  • Which an opinion originates.
  • 00:02:02.471 --> 00:02:06.441
  • Stay with me.
  • 00:02:06.808 --> 00:02:09.077
  • Man is the glory of god.
  • 00:02:09.578 --> 00:02:13.782
  • Men, you are the first place
  • 00:02:14.383 --> 00:02:18.353
  • That your children's opinion of god originates.
  • 00:02:19.321 --> 00:02:21.823
  • - [congregation member] he-hoo.
  • 00:02:21.823 --> 00:02:23.759
  • - so according to you, is your god an abandoner?
  • 00:02:24.726 --> 00:02:28.230
  • - [congregation member] not.
  • 00:02:28.230 --> 00:02:31.066
  • - does your god not care?
  • 00:02:31.633 --> 00:02:35.571
  • Is your god disinterested?
  • 00:02:36.138 --> 00:02:39.141
  • Does your god not want conversation?
  • 00:02:39.908 --> 00:02:42.544
  • Because their first opinion of god does not come from god.
  • 00:02:43.712 --> 00:02:48.617
  • It comes from man.
  • 00:02:49.051 --> 00:02:51.520
  • Man is the glory of god.
  • 00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:54.289
  • In the household, the man
  • 00:02:54.289 --> 00:02:56.191
  • Is where the opinion of god originates.
  • 00:02:56.191 --> 00:02:58.927
  • Sometime when i say lift your hands
  • 00:02:58.927 --> 00:03:00.562
  • And worship your heavenly father,
  • 00:03:00.562 --> 00:03:01.997
  • You can see struggle in the congregation.
  • 00:03:01.997 --> 00:03:05.167
  • Because when you say father to a lot of people
  • 00:03:05.167 --> 00:03:07.803
  • That brings up all kinds of different thoughts
  • 00:03:07.803 --> 00:03:10.806
  • And they don't know what the real father is like
  • 00:03:10.806 --> 00:03:13.475
  • Because the opinion that originated in their house
  • 00:03:13.475 --> 00:03:15.911
  • Was not appropriate.
  • 00:03:15.911 --> 00:03:17.512
  • Then, it said, "the woman is the glory of the man."
  • 00:03:18.580 --> 00:03:21.516
  • So either way man, you get a double duty
  • 00:03:21.516 --> 00:03:23.719
  • Of what my wife called pressure.
  • 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.754
  • You are aware the opinion of god originates.
  • 00:03:25.754 --> 00:03:29.191
  • And then, it said she is a direct reflection of you.
  • 00:03:29.191 --> 00:03:32.761
  • So, everybody's opinion of you will originate
  • 00:03:32.761 --> 00:03:35.664
  • Out of looking at your wife.
  • 00:03:35.664 --> 00:03:38.133
  • So if your wife is broken, their opinion of you is broken.
  • 00:03:38.133 --> 00:03:42.070
  • If she needs to be fixed,
  • 00:03:42.070 --> 00:03:43.672
  • That means there's something in you that needs to be fixed.
  • 00:03:43.672 --> 00:03:45.874
  • You ain't saying nothing.
  • 00:03:45.874 --> 00:03:47.109
  • If you understand the ephesians 5 says
  • 00:03:47.109 --> 00:03:50.412
  • That we don't bring our wives to god to be fixed.
  • 00:03:50.412 --> 00:03:54.449
  • It said, but we are like christ.
  • 00:03:54.449 --> 00:03:56.151
  • We wash her in the water of the word, sanctify her,
  • 00:03:56.151 --> 00:03:59.655
  • And present her to god without spot or wrinkles.
  • 00:03:59.655 --> 00:04:02.724
  • I don't send my wife to god to get fixed.
  • 00:04:02.724 --> 00:04:05.861
  • I turn around and become an agent of healing,
  • 00:04:05.861 --> 00:04:08.630
  • Then turn around and present her to god
  • 00:04:08.630 --> 00:04:10.966
  • As someone that's already been healed and put together
  • 00:04:10.966 --> 00:04:14.403
  • By the loving touch of her husband.
  • 00:04:14.403 --> 00:04:17.039
  • Somebody shout, even if you don't like what i'm saying.
  • 00:04:17.039 --> 00:04:20.309
  • (congregation cheering)
  • 00:04:20.309 --> 00:04:23.545
  • When i go to hear a preacher
  • 00:04:23.545 --> 00:04:25.514
  • And i've never been to their church,
  • 00:04:26.281 --> 00:04:27.482
  • Can i tell you what i do?
  • 00:04:27.482 --> 00:04:29.418
  • I watch his wife.
  • 00:04:29.418 --> 00:04:31.119
  • Tells me all i need to know
  • 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:35.590
  • While he gets up and talks, i look at his wife.
  • 00:04:36.558 --> 00:04:39.161
  • That's all you need to know about that guy.
  • 00:04:39.161 --> 00:04:42.130
  • I can tell if he is at home
  • 00:04:42.731 --> 00:04:45.667
  • What he says he is up here by the look on her face
  • 00:04:45.667 --> 00:04:49.037
  • When he grabs a microphone.
  • 00:04:49.037 --> 00:04:50.439
  • If she's sitting on the front row rolling her eyes,
  • 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:52.641
  • I say "uh-oh, i need to get outta here."
  • 00:04:52.641 --> 00:04:56.011
  • Yo-
  • 00:04:56.211 --> 00:04:57.112
  • (congregation chattering)
  • 00:04:57.112 --> 00:04:59.781
  • - so, we've got to take back the spiritual leadership.
  • 00:04:59.781 --> 00:05:03.885
  • Can i go a little further?
  • 00:05:03.885 --> 00:05:06.188
  • Man, i didn't do a good job of this one.
  • 00:05:07.055 --> 00:05:11.059
  • Wish i would've been a better listener.
  • 00:05:11.893 --> 00:05:17.966
  • I always wanted to talk.
  • 00:05:18.467 --> 00:05:23.305
  • Always had advice before they could finish
  • 00:05:24.139 --> 00:05:26.007
  • Telling me what was wrong.
  • 00:05:26.007 --> 00:05:30.078
  • Don't have many regrets. wish i could do that one over.
  • 00:05:31.213 --> 00:05:36.451
  • Listening is critical to understanding.
  • 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:41.757
  • If you don't listen, you don't understand.
  • 00:05:42.657 --> 00:05:48.497
  • Do we listen?
  • 00:05:48.864 --> 00:05:51.967
  • Will you turn the game off
  • 00:05:52.534 --> 00:05:54.035
  • Or you just turn the volume down a little bit
  • 00:05:54.035 --> 00:05:57.372
  • And look at them like,
  • 00:05:57.372 --> 00:05:58.507
  • "hurry up, i'm watching my game."
  • 00:05:58.507 --> 00:06:04.079
  • Or do they get all of you and look you in the eye?
  • 00:06:05.113 --> 00:06:08.750
  • Go back to my dad.
  • 00:06:08.750 --> 00:06:10.118
  • My dad, i don't care if you just got outta prison,
  • 00:06:10.118 --> 00:06:13.955
  • Can't get a job, and got a entry level job
  • 00:06:13.955 --> 00:06:17.092
  • Scraping up bubblegum off a curve.
  • 00:06:17.092 --> 00:06:19.861
  • If you called my dad's name, he would stand still.
  • 00:06:20.862 --> 00:06:23.799
  • And in that moment, you had every bit of him.
  • 00:06:23.799 --> 00:06:28.136
  • And i marveled at how he was able to do it
  • 00:06:28.136 --> 00:06:31.039
  • 'cause i get so tired and you can tell i'm wanting to go
  • 00:06:32.174 --> 00:06:34.576
  • And i don't know how i did.
  • 00:06:34.576 --> 00:06:38.513
  • But you had all of him.
  • 00:06:39.014 --> 00:06:41.149
  • Look you right in your eyes
  • 00:06:41.149 --> 00:06:42.884
  • And make you feel like a king in royalty in his presence.
  • 00:06:42.884 --> 00:06:47.556
  • Tremendous listener.
  • 00:06:48.023 --> 00:06:50.125
  • Therefore, he always gave great information
  • 00:06:50.125 --> 00:06:53.462
  • 'cause he waited to understand your dilemma
  • 00:06:54.362 --> 00:06:56.631
  • Before he opened his mouth.
  • 00:06:56.631 --> 00:07:00.135
  • We have got to be better listeners.
  • 00:07:00.936 --> 00:07:04.739
  • Even faith can't come until you first listen.
  • 00:07:05.674 --> 00:07:09.911
  • Faith come if by hearing.
  • 00:07:10.479 --> 00:07:12.380
  • Some of us can't even have faith to believe god
  • 00:07:13.381 --> 00:07:14.850
  • 'cause we won't listen to a preacher talk.
  • 00:07:14.850 --> 00:07:17.252
  • (congregation cheering)
  • 00:07:17.252 --> 00:07:18.820
  • (congregation chattering)
  • 00:07:18.820 --> 00:07:21.656
  • You can't know what to do
  • 00:07:21.656 --> 00:07:24.025
  • Till you've become a great listener.
  • 00:07:24.025 --> 00:07:27.295
  • Let me put up there 1 john 5
  • 00:07:27.896 --> 00:07:30.832
  • Do you know that there are people
  • 00:07:30.832 --> 00:07:32.067
  • That are paying a hundred dollars an hour
  • 00:07:32.067 --> 00:07:34.469
  • To somebody to listen to them?
  • 00:07:34.469 --> 00:07:36.905
  • There are more psychologists and psychiatrists
  • 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:39.941
  • Never in history and people will go pay not for information.
  • 00:07:39.941 --> 00:07:44.379
  • Pay a hundred dollars an hour for somebody to live.
  • 00:07:45.380 --> 00:07:47.415
  • Do you know how painful it is
  • 00:07:47.415 --> 00:07:49.718
  • To feel like you are not interesting?
  • 00:07:49.718 --> 00:07:53.688
  • You know how painful it is for a kid to walk in
  • 00:07:54.623 --> 00:07:56.625
  • With something and walk out
  • 00:07:56.625 --> 00:07:57.926
  • Knowing you are not interested whatsoever
  • 00:07:57.926 --> 00:08:01.096
  • In what you had to say?
  • 00:08:01.096 --> 00:08:02.931
  • Lemme tell you about your heavenly father.
  • 00:08:02.931 --> 00:08:05.166
  • "now this is the confidence,"
  • 00:08:05.166 --> 00:08:08.336
  • Confident, look at the words.
  • 00:08:08.970 --> 00:08:10.805
  • You got to look at words.
  • 00:08:10.805 --> 00:08:12.674
  • "now this is the confidence we have in him
  • 00:08:12.674 --> 00:08:15.877
  • That if we ask anything according to his will,
  • 00:08:15.877 --> 00:08:20.081
  • He hears us.
  • 00:08:20.081 --> 00:08:22.017
  • He hears us."
  • 00:08:22.384 --> 00:08:23.685
  • If you talk to your god, you've got all of him.
  • 00:08:23.685 --> 00:08:25.654
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:08:25.654 --> 00:08:27.055
  • And we know that if he hears us, whatever we ask,
  • 00:08:27.055 --> 00:08:29.391
  • We know that we have the petitions
  • 00:08:29.391 --> 00:08:31.493
  • That we have asked of him.
  • 00:08:31.493 --> 00:08:32.794
  • Lemme tell you how your heavenly father responds
  • 00:08:32.794 --> 00:08:35.230
  • When you call on his name.
  • 00:08:35.230 --> 00:08:36.965
  • You've got all of him.
  • 00:08:36.965 --> 00:08:38.500
  • You've got all of his focus.
  • 00:08:38.500 --> 00:08:40.201
  • He is not distracted. he is not deterred.
  • 00:08:40.201 --> 00:08:43.171
  • He is not in a hurry.
  • 00:08:43.171 --> 00:08:44.606
  • He's not trying to hurry up and get out of the room.
  • 00:08:44.606 --> 00:08:46.575
  • He is not telling you to get on with it,
  • 00:08:46.575 --> 00:08:48.543
  • Because you are the most interesting person in the universe
  • 00:08:48.543 --> 00:08:51.913
  • When you call on his name.
  • 00:08:51.913 --> 00:08:53.682
  • And i love the fact that they say,
  • 00:08:53.682 --> 00:08:55.283
  • "this is the confidence i have.
  • 00:08:55.283 --> 00:08:57.352
  • When i talk to god, i know if nobody else is listening,
  • 00:08:57.352 --> 00:09:01.189
  • He listens to me and he hears what i got to say.
  • 00:09:01.189 --> 00:09:04.059
  • And not only that,
  • 00:09:04.059 --> 00:09:05.560
  • But if it's within his power to answer what i'm doing,
  • 00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:08.296
  • He's going to go to the ends of the earth
  • 00:09:08.296 --> 00:09:10.332
  • To make it happen."
  • 00:09:10.332 --> 00:09:11.700
  • Are we the kind of father that we listen
  • 00:09:11.700 --> 00:09:14.402
  • To what our kids say?
  • 00:09:14.402 --> 00:09:16.104
  • And if it's within our power to fix it,
  • 00:09:16.104 --> 00:09:18.173
  • We'll go to the ends of the earth
  • 00:09:18.173 --> 00:09:20.542
  • To make it better for our children.
  • 00:09:20.542 --> 00:09:22.944
  • Please, god.
  • 00:09:22.944 --> 00:09:24.212
  • Somebody say amen right here in this moment.
  • 00:09:24.212 --> 00:09:26.481
  • - [congregation] amen.
  • 00:09:26.481 --> 00:09:30.719
  • - [announcer] there is a you that god intended
  • 00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:33.688
  • And there is a you that is your reality.
  • 00:09:33.688 --> 00:09:36.224
  • The battle is always between the two.
  • 00:09:36.224 --> 00:09:38.693
  • - the first battle that comes to you
  • 00:09:38.693 --> 00:09:40.929
  • And your new decision to follow christ
  • 00:09:40.929 --> 00:09:43.098
  • Is you have to somehow outlive everybody's definition of you
  • 00:09:43.098 --> 00:09:48.436
  • By your activities up until that point.
  • 00:09:49.270 --> 00:09:51.339

  • That aren't in your life there used to be.
  • 00:09:56.678 --> 00:09:58.546
  • Why?
  • 00:09:58.546 --> 00:09:59.814
  • Because you wanted them in the picture,
  • 00:09:59.814 --> 00:10:01.116
  • But god said they're not in the picture.
  • 00:10:01.116 --> 00:10:02.851
  • And god was not going to write another picture,
  • 00:10:02.851 --> 00:10:05.553
  • Because you want crazy people in your life.
  • 00:10:05.553 --> 00:10:08.356
  • God is gonna cut the crazy people out,
  • 00:10:08.356 --> 00:10:10.525
  • Because he is got somewhere that he's planned to take you.
  • 00:10:10.525 --> 00:10:14.529

  • - affirmation.
  • 00:10:32.447 --> 00:10:33.748
  • Jesus was 30 years old
  • 00:10:34.249 --> 00:10:36.017
  • And had recorded no miracle or anything.
  • 00:10:36.017 --> 00:10:39.287
  • Nothing. nothing great.
  • 00:10:39.287 --> 00:10:41.523
  • No trophies, no accolades, no followers.
  • 00:10:41.523 --> 00:10:44.592
  • No, nothing.
  • 00:10:44.592 --> 00:10:46.061
  • He worked in his natural father's business, carpenter.
  • 00:10:46.061 --> 00:10:51.032
  • One day, the heavens opened up when he was baptized
  • 00:10:52.067 --> 00:10:55.503
  • And his heavenly father made this declaration,
  • 00:10:56.404 --> 00:10:58.239
  • "this is my son."
  • 00:10:58.239 --> 00:11:00.909
  • He ain't done a thing.
  • 00:11:00.909 --> 00:11:02.977
  • "in whom i am well pleased."
  • 00:11:03.578 --> 00:11:07.348
  • See, most fathers today want you to do a miracle
  • 00:11:07.348 --> 00:11:11.119
  • And then, they'll say, "this is my son."
  • 00:11:11.119 --> 00:11:15.623
  • Jesus got the affirmation
  • 00:11:16.191 --> 00:11:18.126
  • And that released him to go do miracles.
  • 00:11:18.126 --> 00:11:20.028
  • - [congregation member] oh my god.
  • 00:11:20.028 --> 00:11:21.863
  • (congregation chattering)
  • 00:11:21.863 --> 00:11:23.431
  • - you don't tell your children you're pleased
  • 00:11:23.431 --> 00:11:25.700
  • After they brought you a string of successes.
  • 00:11:25.700 --> 00:11:28.470
  • You tell your children that you're pleased
  • 00:11:28.470 --> 00:11:30.505
  • And that releases them to go and be successful.
  • 00:11:30.505 --> 00:11:33.141
  • I am talking to somebody in here.
  • 00:11:33.141 --> 00:11:35.276
  • You have so many miracles locked up in your child
  • 00:11:35.276 --> 00:11:38.680
  • And they're just waiting for you to look at them and say,
  • 00:11:38.680 --> 00:11:41.049
  • "i'm good if you mess up.
  • 00:11:41.049 --> 00:11:43.184
  • I'm good if you get first place.
  • 00:11:43.184 --> 00:11:45.453
  • I love you if you make a. i love you if you make a f.
  • 00:11:45.453 --> 00:11:49.324
  • I love you if you messed up.
  • 00:11:49.324 --> 00:11:51.059
  • I love you if you did perfect.
  • 00:11:51.059 --> 00:11:52.961
  • It does not matter.
  • 00:11:52.961 --> 00:11:54.129
  • This is my son, this is my daughter
  • 00:11:54.129 --> 00:11:56.798
  • And whom i'm well please.
  • 00:11:56.798 --> 00:11:58.399
  • Now, go out with my affirmation and take over the world."
  • 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.770
  • Oh, somebody shout hallelujah.
  • 00:12:01.770 --> 00:12:03.104
  • - [congregation] hallelujah
  • 00:12:03.104 --> 00:12:08.843
  • - whenever my kids come to me
  • 00:12:09.477 --> 00:12:11.146
  • And try to tell me something they don't do good,
  • 00:12:11.146 --> 00:12:13.081
  • I try my best to move it into something i know
  • 00:12:13.081 --> 00:12:16.951
  • They're greatly successful at.
  • 00:12:16.951 --> 00:12:19.120
  • Because we're not gonna sit there and concentrate
  • 00:12:20.121 --> 00:12:22.290
  • On what you don't do well.
  • 00:12:22.290 --> 00:12:24.592
  • None of my kids do well in math.
  • 00:12:25.226 --> 00:12:27.262
  • They got it honest.
  • 00:12:27.262 --> 00:12:28.830
  • (congregation laughing)
  • 00:12:28.830 --> 00:12:31.166
  • You don't get in trouble at my house
  • 00:12:31.166 --> 00:12:33.034
  • For not doing math well.
  • 00:12:33.034 --> 00:12:36.371
  • I still don't know one thing i learned in algebra
  • 00:12:37.372 --> 00:12:40.341
  • All four times that i took it.
  • 00:12:40.975 --> 00:12:44.379
  • But they can kill history.
  • 00:12:44.946 --> 00:12:46.981
  • They went through english with a breeze.
  • 00:12:47.816 --> 00:12:50.585
  • So, i move.
  • 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.122
  • You know, "daddy, i'm not too good at this,"
  • 00:12:55.056 --> 00:12:56.491
  • But man, you sure can golf.
  • 00:12:56.491 --> 00:12:58.393
  • "well, i'm terrible at this."
  • 00:12:59.027 --> 00:13:00.195
  • "yeah, but you sing like a bird."
  • 00:13:00.195 --> 00:13:02.197
  • "well, i'm not great at basketball."
  • 00:13:02.197 --> 00:13:03.364
  • "yeah, but look at your body."
  • 00:13:03.364 --> 00:13:07.235
  • Move it.
  • 00:13:07.502 --> 00:13:09.037
  • Move it to something they do well
  • 00:13:09.037 --> 00:13:12.407
  • 'cause they're screaming for your affirmation.
  • 00:13:12.407 --> 00:13:15.643
  • Screaming for it.
  • 00:13:16.077 --> 00:13:17.812
  • Why do you think god takes so much time in the bible
  • 00:13:17.812 --> 00:13:20.648
  • Telling you what you're worth and how much he loves you
  • 00:13:20.648 --> 00:13:23.017
  • And what he wants to give you.
  • 00:13:23.017 --> 00:13:24.219
  • And why does he do that?
  • 00:13:24.219 --> 00:13:25.887
  • Because he's not gonna let you leave his present
  • 00:13:25.887 --> 00:13:27.856
  • Not feeling valued.
  • 00:13:27.856 --> 00:13:29.691
  • He just refuses 'cause he knows that's your biggest need.
  • 00:13:30.825 --> 00:13:33.528
  • And last of all, my dad's been gone
  • 00:13:33.528 --> 00:13:37.832
  • About four and a half years now.
  • 00:13:37.832 --> 00:13:40.435
  • And i was one of those guys, i did,
  • 00:13:41.169 --> 00:13:45.874
  • I thought my daddy walked on water.
  • 00:13:45.874 --> 00:13:48.676
  • If he had any problems, he hid 'em 'cause i never saw 'em.
  • 00:13:49.844 --> 00:13:58.853
  • My mom closed his eyes and i kissed him on the forehead.
  • 00:13:59.988 --> 00:14:02.790
  • And i mean as soon as i kissed him on the forehead,
  • 00:14:02.790 --> 00:14:05.994
  • Hope was holding my phone and phone started ringing.
  • 00:14:05.994 --> 00:14:08.196
  • I had made no announcement. i hadn't said anything.
  • 00:14:08.196 --> 00:14:11.532
  • Phone started ringing, said bishop jakes.
  • 00:14:11.532 --> 00:14:15.336
  • Hope said, "you might wanna take this."
  • 00:14:16.204 --> 00:14:21.743
  • And i went out in the front yard
  • 00:14:22.377 --> 00:14:23.511
  • And that man ministered to me so deeply.
  • 00:14:23.511 --> 00:14:27.849
  • That's why you hear me speak of him
  • 00:14:27.849 --> 00:14:29.784
  • With so much affection,
  • 00:14:29.784 --> 00:14:31.986
  • Because he came to me at such a tender time.
  • 00:14:31.986 --> 00:14:34.122
  • I don't even know how he knew.
  • 00:14:34.122 --> 00:14:36.224
  • It was like my dad breathed his last breath in,
  • 00:14:36.224 --> 00:14:38.092
  • Bishop jakes call.
  • 00:14:38.092 --> 00:14:41.863
  • And i went back to bishop jakes because he has stepped in
  • 00:14:42.997 --> 00:14:45.934
  • And been a real fatherly figure to me.
  • 00:14:45.934 --> 00:14:49.537
  • He's allowed me into his life.
  • 00:14:49.537 --> 00:14:51.606
  • And when my oldest son was struggling with drugs,
  • 00:14:51.606 --> 00:14:54.542
  • I wasn't familiar with drugs.
  • 00:14:55.176 --> 00:14:56.744
  • I wasn't familiar with drug culture
  • 00:14:56.744 --> 00:14:58.212
  • And i didn't know how to reach him.
  • 00:14:58.212 --> 00:15:01.349
  • And bishop jakes sat down and he said,
  • 00:15:02.150 --> 00:15:05.153
  • "ron, i'm gonna tell you something
  • 00:15:05.153 --> 00:15:06.354
  • That's gonna be very hard for you."
  • 00:15:06.354 --> 00:15:08.356
  • He said, "but you're not gonna reach your son
  • 00:15:09.257 --> 00:15:11.025
  • With your victories."
  • 00:15:11.025 --> 00:15:15.096
  • He said, "your son's driving up on that campus
  • 00:15:16.064 --> 00:15:18.299
  • Every day saying,
  • 00:15:18.299 --> 00:15:19.567
  • 'what in the world can i do to impress my dad?""
  • 00:15:19.567 --> 00:15:23.304
  • He said, "you're gonna have to win your son by getting real,
  • 00:15:24.505 --> 00:15:28.476
  • By getting raw, by telling him your sins,
  • 00:15:28.476 --> 00:15:32.647
  • By telling him your broken places,
  • 00:15:32.647 --> 00:15:34.515
  • By telling him your weaknesses,
  • 00:15:34.515 --> 00:15:36.317
  • By telling him your vulnerabilities."
  • 00:15:36.317 --> 00:15:38.486
  • Said, "he is not going to relate to your victories.
  • 00:15:38.486 --> 00:15:42.957
  • He's going to relate to the part of ron you hide
  • 00:15:42.957 --> 00:15:45.960
  • And don't want anybody to see."
  • 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.196
  • (congregation chattering and clapping)
  • 00:15:48.196 --> 00:15:56.037
  • (upbeat music)
  • 00:15:56.404 --> 00:16:26.734
  • John 20 shows us a real important lesson, verse 24.
  • 00:16:27.769 --> 00:16:32.206
  • Throw it on the screen, please.
  • 00:16:32.206 --> 00:16:34.275
  • "we he had said this, he showed his hands and his side.
  • 00:16:34.275 --> 00:16:39.580
  • Then the disciples were glad when they saw the lord."
  • 00:16:40.615 --> 00:16:43.117
  • Play something for me if you would, brother brandon.
  • 00:16:43.117 --> 00:16:46.154
  • "now thomas, called the twin,
  • 00:16:46.154 --> 00:16:47.722
  • One of the 12, was not with them, when jesus came."
  • 00:16:47.722 --> 00:16:51.392
  • Verse 25, "the other disciples
  • 00:16:51.392 --> 00:16:54.228
  • Therefore said to him, 'we have seen the lord.'
  • 00:16:54.228 --> 00:16:57.398
  • So he said to them, 'unless i see his hands
  • 00:16:57.398 --> 00:17:00.802
  • The print of his nails, and put my finger
  • 00:17:00.802 --> 00:17:02.970
  • In the print of the nails, and put my hand in his side,
  • 00:17:02.970 --> 00:17:06.507
  • I will not believe.'"
  • 00:17:06.507 --> 00:17:08.776
  • Verse 26.
  • 00:17:09.077 --> 00:17:10.478
  • "after eight days his disciples were again inside
  • 00:17:11.512 --> 00:17:13.214
  • And thomas with them.
  • 00:17:13.214 --> 00:17:14.148
  • Jesus came the doors being shut
  • 00:17:14.148 --> 00:17:15.817
  • And stood in the midst and said, 'peace to you!'"
  • 00:17:15.817 --> 00:17:17.718
  • Verse 27.
  • 00:17:17.718 --> 00:17:19.053
  • "then he said to thomas, 'reach your finger here.
  • 00:17:19.987 --> 00:17:26.594
  • Look at my hands.
  • 00:17:27.028 --> 00:17:31.032
  • Reach your hand in here.
  • 00:17:31.532 --> 00:17:34.068
  • Put it in my side.
  • 00:17:34.502 --> 00:17:37.171
  • Do not be unbelieving, but be believing.'"
  • 00:17:38.072 --> 00:17:42.910
  • They were talking about resurrections
  • 00:17:43.711 --> 00:17:45.446
  • And powers and open tombs and glory,
  • 00:17:45.446 --> 00:17:47.682
  • And thomas said, "i don't relate to that."
  • 00:17:47.682 --> 00:17:51.085
  • Let him come show me his wounds.
  • 00:17:51.719 --> 00:17:53.988
  • (congregation chattering)
  • 00:17:53.988 --> 00:17:59.060
  • Let him come show me his scars.
  • 00:17:59.694 --> 00:18:04.031
  • Bring him down out of that heaven
  • 00:18:04.765 --> 00:18:06.634
  • And let me see he is a real man.
  • 00:18:06.634 --> 00:18:10.138
  • Give me something i can believe.
  • 00:18:10.771 --> 00:18:12.573
  • I can't believe walking on water and feeding 5,000
  • 00:18:12.573 --> 00:18:15.810
  • And bringing dead people, lazarus outta tombs.
  • 00:18:15.810 --> 00:18:18.446
  • I need somebody to show me scars
  • 00:18:18.446 --> 00:18:23.151
  • Because i can relate to scars,
  • 00:18:23.784 --> 00:18:26.754
  • I can relate to pain,
  • 00:18:26.754 --> 00:18:28.956
  • And i can relate to defeat.
  • 00:18:29.557 --> 00:18:31.626
  • See scars were not a symbol of resurrection.
  • 00:18:31.626 --> 00:18:33.928
  • It was a symbol of death.
  • 00:18:33.928 --> 00:18:35.530
  • It was not a symbol of victory, symbol of defeat.
  • 00:18:36.531 --> 00:18:38.733
  • Thomas said,
  • 00:18:38.733 --> 00:18:40.535
  • "i can't relate to all the resurrection stuff."
  • 00:18:41.469 --> 00:18:44.605
  • And jesus went straight to him.
  • 00:18:44.605 --> 00:18:46.908
  • And of all the things,
  • 00:18:46.908 --> 00:18:48.142
  • Jesus kept after he came back to life,
  • 00:18:48.142 --> 00:18:50.378
  • He kept his scars.
  • 00:18:50.378 --> 00:18:53.881
  • For all the people that cannot relate to life going well,
  • 00:18:55.016 --> 00:18:59.420
  • Jesus comes to you and says, "look at my hand."
  • 00:18:59.420 --> 00:19:03.357
  • Put your finger right here. look at my side right here.
  • 00:19:04.492 --> 00:19:07.595
  • Put your hand in this right here.
  • 00:19:07.595 --> 00:19:09.430
  • Oh, how a generation needs fathers
  • 00:19:09.430 --> 00:19:12.433
  • To let them know you ain't perfect either.
  • 00:19:12.433 --> 00:19:15.436
  • (congregation clapping)
  • 00:19:15.436 --> 00:19:19.106
  • You ain't got to be perfect. you just gotta be present.
  • 00:19:20.208 --> 00:19:23.978
  • (congregation cheering and clapping)
  • 00:19:23.978 --> 00:19:28.716
  • You cannot be absent.
  • 00:19:29.217 --> 00:19:33.287
  • I'm gonna call some men down that need prayer.
  • 00:19:34.188 --> 00:19:40.228
  • I don't know if 20 will come or 400.
  • 00:19:40.995 --> 00:19:47.201
  • Man, if you're in here
  • 00:19:47.702 --> 00:19:49.670
  • And your dad didn't give you these things,
  • 00:19:50.571 --> 00:19:54.542
  • I know this is a real vulnerable moment, but stay with me.
  • 00:19:55.643 --> 00:20:01.349
  • I want you to cut him some slack,
  • 00:20:02.083 --> 00:20:03.751
  • Because if he didn't give it to you,
  • 00:20:03.751 --> 00:20:06.153
  • That means he didn't have it.
  • 00:20:06.153 --> 00:20:07.755
  • - [congregation member] yes, sir.
  • 00:20:07.755 --> 00:20:11.125
  • - you gotta understand three generations, but...
  • 00:20:11.125 --> 00:20:14.528
  • (congregation cheering and clapping)
  • 00:20:15.329 --> 00:20:34.548
  • Come on down here, man. come on.
  • 00:20:35.182 --> 00:20:39.287
  • (congregation member crying)
  • 00:20:39.887 --> 00:20:41.922
  • (gentle music)
  • 00:20:41.922 --> 00:20:48.896
  • What i was saying was if your father
  • 00:20:49.664 --> 00:20:51.365
  • Didn't give it to you, it's because nobody gave it to him.
  • 00:20:51.365 --> 00:20:54.602
  • You can't give what you ain't got.
  • 00:20:55.369 --> 00:20:58.272
  • You can't give what you don't have.
  • 00:20:59.073 --> 00:21:01.342
  • I'd ask you to cut your dad some slack.
  • 00:21:02.176 --> 00:21:04.211
  • I'm gonna give you a little history
  • 00:21:04.211 --> 00:21:05.746
  • Because his dad, his generation came through the depression.
  • 00:21:05.746 --> 00:21:09.116
  • I'm gonna be honest with you.
  • 00:21:09.116 --> 00:21:10.551
  • They weren't thinking about throwing the football.
  • 00:21:10.551 --> 00:21:11.652
  • They was thinking about surviving.
  • 00:21:11.652 --> 00:21:14.021
  • Then they had to go fight a world war.
  • 00:21:14.021 --> 00:21:18.059
  • These men didn't have a lot to deposit.
  • 00:21:18.926 --> 00:21:21.028
  • In fact, when they came back in world war ii,
  • 00:21:21.028 --> 00:21:23.297
  • The ones that made it back,
  • 00:21:23.297 --> 00:21:24.565
  • They had to try to keep 'em going insane.
  • 00:21:24.565 --> 00:21:29.870
  • If your father didn't give it to you, he didn't have it
  • 00:21:30.971 --> 00:21:33.974
  • Because nobody gave it to him.
  • 00:21:34.608 --> 00:21:36.377
  • And it's easy to just say, you know, he was sorry,
  • 00:21:37.411 --> 00:21:39.046
  • He's a bag of this and a piece of that.
  • 00:21:39.046 --> 00:21:42.817
  • Cut him some slack, man.
  • 00:21:43.317 --> 00:21:46.220
  • Why have i called you up here?
  • 00:21:46.854 --> 00:21:49.256
  • 'cause you have been charged to give what you didn't get.
  • 00:21:50.391 --> 00:21:55.262
  • And that is a very, very, very difficult thing.
  • 00:21:56.263 --> 00:22:01.769
  • And i stand up here saying, "i don't know your position
  • 00:22:02.903 --> 00:22:07.375
  • 'cause i had a dad that to me floated into heavens
  • 00:22:08.409 --> 00:22:11.712
  • And walked on water.
  • 00:22:11.712 --> 00:22:13.381
  • So i'm telling you right up front,
  • 00:22:14.148 --> 00:22:16.117
  • I don't know what it's like
  • 00:22:16.117 --> 00:22:17.418
  • To be on that side of this aisle,
  • 00:22:17.418 --> 00:22:19.754
  • But my heart hurts that you get up every day
  • 00:22:20.654 --> 00:22:24.325
  • With the task of trying to be something
  • 00:22:24.325 --> 00:22:27.027
  • That nobody ever was to you.
  • 00:22:27.027 --> 00:22:30.364
  • I can't imagine the pressure
  • 00:22:30.965 --> 00:22:34.034
  • Of trying to serve up a dinner
  • 00:22:34.668 --> 00:22:36.103
  • That nobody ever cooked for you.
  • 00:22:36.103 --> 00:22:39.540
  • I'm so sorry for what your natural father didn't give you.
  • 00:22:40.674 --> 00:22:44.278
  • But i'm telling you, there's one that can the holes
  • 00:22:44.278 --> 00:22:46.747
  • In your bucket today.
  • 00:22:46.747 --> 00:22:48.416
  • The bible says psalm 107, "he heals the hungry heart."
  • 00:22:49.483 --> 00:22:53.154
  • The hungry heart, the heart that is longing for affirmation
  • 00:22:53.154 --> 00:22:56.924
  • And never got it.
  • 00:22:56.924 --> 00:22:58.192
  • Your god can reach into your broken place,
  • 00:22:58.192 --> 00:23:01.095
  • And then your deficiency, i'm telling you,
  • 00:23:01.095 --> 00:23:02.997
  • He can make the pain go away.
  • 00:23:02.997 --> 00:23:05.666
  • He can turn the scab to a scar.
  • 00:23:06.300 --> 00:23:08.936
  • Scars, remember, you're reminded of what happened,
  • 00:23:09.970 --> 00:23:12.706
  • But it don't hurt no more.
  • 00:23:12.706 --> 00:23:14.141
  • A scab, every time you scratch it, it still bleeds.
  • 00:23:14.141 --> 00:23:16.811
  • If it's still bleeding, you gotta let god heal it.
  • 00:23:16.811 --> 00:23:21.015
  • Don't wait on him to come back and apologize.
  • 00:23:21.916 --> 00:23:24.685
  • He may never come.
  • 00:23:24.685 --> 00:23:26.287
  • Let god give you the grace to forgive what you didn't get
  • 00:23:27.455 --> 00:23:32.426
  • So you can go on and become the man god intended you to be.
  • 00:23:33.594 --> 00:23:35.796
  • I need somebody back there to clap and help me.
  • 00:23:35.796 --> 00:23:38.532
  • This is courageous right here.
  • 00:23:38.532 --> 00:23:40.801
  • (congregation cheering and clapping)
  • 00:23:40.801 --> 00:23:44.705
  • (upbeat music)
  • 00:23:44.705 --> 00:24:14.602
  • I told you you would enjoy it,
  • 00:24:15.236 --> 00:24:16.504
  • Not because i was preaching it,
  • 00:24:16.504 --> 00:24:18.272
  • But because of the power of the truth
  • 00:24:18.272 --> 00:24:19.874
  • That can change your life.
  • 00:24:19.874 --> 00:24:21.408
  • I'm so grateful that we have this relationship with you.
  • 00:24:21.408 --> 00:24:23.944
  • So now in these closing comments,
  • 00:24:23.944 --> 00:24:25.479
  • I'd ask you not to turn me off,
  • 00:24:25.479 --> 00:24:26.747
  • But just let me tell you how much you mean to us.
  • 00:24:26.747 --> 00:24:28.949
  • Number one, i want to connect with you on a greater level.
  • 00:24:28.949 --> 00:24:31.218
  • You know we have social media out there
  • 00:24:31.218 --> 00:24:33.454
  • And for some of you who say, you know,
  • 00:24:33.454 --> 00:24:34.588
  • "i really don't do social media.
  • 00:24:34.588 --> 00:24:36.724
  • There's a lot of negative stuff on there."
  • 00:24:36.724 --> 00:24:38.225
  • But why don't you take it
  • 00:24:38.225 --> 00:24:39.159
  • And turn it into a positive.
  • 00:24:39.159 --> 00:24:40.661
  • We try to offer inspirationals every day.
  • 00:24:40.661 --> 00:24:42.763
  • We put video clips of messages on every day.
  • 00:24:42.763 --> 00:24:45.332
  • Sometime i just pray for people.
  • 00:24:45.332 --> 00:24:47.067
  • Sometime we let you know what's going on
  • 00:24:47.067 --> 00:24:48.802
  • Within ron carpenter ministries.
  • 00:24:48.802 --> 00:24:50.371
  • We want you to be abreast of everything
  • 00:24:50.371 --> 00:24:53.274
  • That is going on here
  • 00:24:53.274 --> 00:24:54.808
  • And we want to cultivate a deeper relationship with you.
  • 00:24:54.808 --> 00:24:57.611
  • Please remember, okay, that you can go on twitter,
  • 00:24:57.611 --> 00:25:00.681
  • You can go on facebook, you can go on instagram at any time
  • 00:25:00.681 --> 00:25:04.318
  • And pick up what god is saying through myself
  • 00:25:04.318 --> 00:25:07.187
  • And through this ministry.
  • 00:25:07.187 --> 00:25:08.489
  • I also wanna thank all of our covenant partners
  • 00:25:08.489 --> 00:25:10.991
  • And let you know how much we couldn't be here without you.
  • 00:25:10.991 --> 00:25:13.227
  • It is you who've let us do what we've done.
  • 00:25:13.227 --> 00:25:15.963
  • I've talked to you about expansion.
  • 00:25:15.963 --> 00:25:17.631
  • We need you to continue to give,
  • 00:25:17.631 --> 00:25:19.867
  • Need you to continue to support on a monthly basis.
  • 00:25:19.867 --> 00:25:22.870
  • We're expanding into other channels.
  • 00:25:22.870 --> 00:25:24.872
  • We're expanding right now.
  • 00:25:24.872 --> 00:25:26.140
  • Just made some decisions into other networks.
  • 00:25:26.140 --> 00:25:28.609
  • We are so excited about the possibility
  • 00:25:28.609 --> 00:25:31.145
  • Of reaching people we've never reached before.
  • 00:25:31.145 --> 00:25:33.480
  • But here's one thing that you're helping us do,
  • 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:35.716
  • And i'm asking you to look forward
  • 00:25:35.716 --> 00:25:37.351
  • To this expansion offering
  • 00:25:37.351 --> 00:25:38.619
  • And give like you've never given before.
  • 00:25:38.619 --> 00:25:41.322
  • Because our next endeavor,
  • 00:25:41.322 --> 00:25:43.023
  • As we are already on tv all over the world,
  • 00:25:43.023 --> 00:25:46.226
  • But we're on tv all over the world in our known language.
  • 00:25:46.226 --> 00:25:49.463
  • Now, what we want to do is get simultaneous translations
  • 00:25:49.463 --> 00:25:53.434
  • Into the nation's language that we are communicating to.
  • 00:25:53.434 --> 00:25:57.237
  • We have just finished getting everything translated
  • 00:25:57.237 --> 00:26:00.641
  • Into spanish and we're about to go on 60 stations
  • 00:26:00.641 --> 00:26:05.145
  • With my messages translated into spanish.
  • 00:26:05.145 --> 00:26:08.616
  • You've helped us do it.
  • 00:26:08.616 --> 00:26:09.550
  • It has cost. it has sacrificed.
  • 00:26:09.550 --> 00:26:11.685
  • There's a lot involved,
  • 00:26:11.685 --> 00:26:13.287
  • But it's your gifts that help us do it.
  • 00:26:13.287 --> 00:26:15.556
  • So now we're not just going on all over the world,
  • 00:26:15.556 --> 00:26:17.891
  • But we're gonna speak to people in a language
  • 00:26:17.891 --> 00:26:19.760
  • They can hear and understand.
  • 00:26:19.760 --> 00:26:21.562
  • Thank you so much. we're going great places.
  • 00:26:21.562 --> 00:26:24.031
  • Would you go with us?
  • 00:26:24.031 --> 00:26:25.532
  • So for your first month's gift, if you've never given,

  • We are so grateful for our partnership together.
  • 00:26:37.711 --> 00:26:40.648
  • Together we can do a little a lot more
  • 00:26:40.648 --> 00:26:42.149
  • Than we can by ourself.
  • 00:26:42.149 --> 00:26:43.484
  • I hope this was a blessing.
  • 00:26:43.484 --> 00:26:45.052
  • I can't wait until next time.
  • 00:26:45.052 --> 00:26:46.620
