00:05:21.641 --> 00:05:22.508
We send messages into hospital rooms
00:05:22.575 --> 00:05:23.643
Into hospital rooms and where we send podcasts
00:05:23.710 --> 00:05:24.877
And where we send podcasts into cars of parents driving
00:05:24.944 --> 00:05:26.746
Into cars of parents driving their kids around all day
00:05:26.813 --> 00:05:28.348
Their kids around all day and athletes that are getting --
00:05:28.414 --> 00:05:29.549
And athletes that are getting -- all the ministry, it comes
00:05:29.615 --> 00:05:30.983
All the ministry, it comes from right here at ballantyne
00:05:31.050 --> 00:05:32.352
From right here at ballantyne to all of our other campuses,
00:05:32.418 --> 00:05:33.986
To all of our other campuses, and we were opening it 2016
00:05:34.053 --> 00:05:36.756
And we were opening it 2016 and we were having
00:05:36.823 --> 00:05:37.457
And we were having the best time kind of.
00:05:37.523 --> 00:05:38.591
The best time kind of. but show them the other picture.
00:05:38.658 --> 00:05:39.992
But show them the other picture. this the one that was
00:05:40.059 --> 00:05:40.727
This the one that was next to it on my phone.
00:05:40.793 --> 00:05:43.396
Next to it on my phone. and there's me and holly
00:05:43.463 --> 00:05:45.598
And there's me and holly and she looks like blessing.
00:05:45.665 --> 00:05:47.266
[laughter]
00:05:47.633 --> 00:05:49.302
And i look like pressure.
00:05:49.736 --> 00:05:50.603
[laughter]
00:05:51.003 --> 00:05:53.139
Ain't that right?
00:05:53.539 --> 00:05:55.041
Ain't that right? would you say i captioned
00:05:55.108 --> 00:05:55.842
Would you say i captioned that correctly?
00:05:55.908 --> 00:05:58.511
That correctly? because for me i was jet-lagged
00:05:58.578 --> 00:06:00.680
Because for me i was jet-lagged that sunday morning.
00:06:00.747 --> 00:06:02.415
And for me i had just
00:06:02.515 --> 00:06:03.182
And for me i had just gotten back from australia.
00:06:03.249 --> 00:06:05.251
Gotten back from australia. and for me the headlines
00:06:05.318 --> 00:06:06.652
And for me the headlines were all about a potential
00:06:06.719 --> 00:06:09.122
Were all about a potential place of civil unrest
00:06:09.188 --> 00:06:10.289
Place of civil unrest in our nation.
00:06:10.356 --> 00:06:11.190
In our nation. and for me my best friend
00:06:11.257 --> 00:06:12.825
And for me my best friend was getting fired
00:06:12.892 --> 00:06:13.893
Was getting fired from pastoring his church
00:06:13.960 --> 00:06:15.361
From pastoring his church and so between the 9:30
00:06:15.428 --> 00:06:16.763
And so between the 9:30 and the 11:30 i was talking
00:06:16.829 --> 00:06:18.331
And the 11:30 i was talking to him on the phone
00:06:18.398 --> 00:06:19.499
To him on the phone before i came out
00:06:19.565 --> 00:06:20.266
Before i came out to preach again because
00:06:20.333 --> 00:06:21.367
To preach again because i was scared about whether
00:06:21.434 --> 00:06:22.535
I was scared about whether he was in a safe place
00:06:22.602 --> 00:06:23.603
He was in a safe place emotionally or not.
00:06:23.669 --> 00:06:26.439
Emotionally or not. so now you understand --
00:06:26.506 --> 00:06:27.373
So now you understand -- put the picture back up again,
00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:29.642
Put the picture back up again, why she's smiling and i'm like.
00:06:29.709 --> 00:06:33.513
[laughter]
00:06:34.013 --> 00:06:35.982
She's like, "god is good
00:06:36.382 --> 00:06:37.016
She's like, "god is good all the time,"
00:06:37.083 --> 00:06:37.517
All the time," and i'm like...
00:06:37.583 --> 00:06:38.217
She's like,
00:06:41.020 --> 00:06:41.354
She's like, "this is an amazing day."
00:06:41.421 --> 00:06:42.221
"this is an amazing day." now obviously that's just
00:06:42.288 --> 00:06:43.790
Now obviously that's just a really unfortunate capture
00:06:43.856 --> 00:06:49.328
A really unfortunate capture of my face in that moment.
00:06:49.395 --> 00:06:50.263
Of my face in that moment. i don't know what
00:06:50.329 --> 00:06:50.830
I don't know what i was really thinking.
00:06:50.897 --> 00:06:52.165
I was really thinking. we fired that photographer
00:06:52.231 --> 00:06:53.199
We fired that photographer by the way.
00:06:53.266 --> 00:06:53.833
[laughter]
00:06:54.267 --> 00:06:54.700
Who captured that moment.
00:06:55.134 --> 00:06:55.635
Who captured that moment. i'm kidding.
00:06:55.701 --> 00:06:57.236
I'm kidding. i just wanna give you
00:06:57.303 --> 00:06:57.904
I just wanna give you a visual for a moment
00:06:57.970 --> 00:06:58.571
A visual for a moment here as we talk about joseph
00:06:58.638 --> 00:06:59.705
Here as we talk about joseph and ephraim and manasseh,
00:06:59.772 --> 00:07:01.908
And ephraim and manasseh, and as we talk about your life,
00:07:01.974 --> 00:07:04.277
And as we talk about your life, and as we talk about forgetting
00:07:04.343 --> 00:07:06.245
And as we talk about forgetting where you come from.
00:07:06.312 --> 00:07:07.346
Where you come from. and when we talk
00:07:07.413 --> 00:07:08.014
And when we talk about your past,
00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:09.348
About your past, and when we talk about
00:07:09.415 --> 00:07:10.616
And when we talk about the things that you remember,
00:07:10.683 --> 00:07:11.651
The things that you remember, and when we talk about
00:07:11.717 --> 00:07:12.985
And when we talk about the challenge
00:07:13.052 --> 00:07:13.619
The challenge that you're facing,
00:07:13.686 --> 00:07:14.520
That you're facing, remember the people of joseph,
00:07:14.587 --> 00:07:18.491
Remember the people of joseph, the tribes of ephraim
00:07:18.558 --> 00:07:20.092
The tribes of ephraim and manasseh came
00:07:20.159 --> 00:07:20.860
And manasseh came to joshua and said,
00:07:20.927 --> 00:07:22.361
To joshua and said, "it's too much,
00:07:22.428 --> 00:07:24.197
"it's too much, and it's not enough."
00:07:24.263 --> 00:07:26.399
And joshua said,
00:07:26.499 --> 00:07:26.933
And joshua said, "it is enough."
00:07:26.999 --> 00:07:28.835
"it is enough." there is all of this territory
00:07:28.901 --> 00:07:30.636
There is all of this territory that you were given,
00:07:30.703 --> 00:07:32.605
That you were given, but it's forest territory.
00:07:32.672 --> 00:07:35.341
But it's forest territory. and it's covered not
00:07:35.408 --> 00:07:36.108
And it's covered not only in trees but there
00:07:36.175 --> 00:07:37.109
Only in trees but there are canaanites that
00:07:37.176 --> 00:07:38.244
Are canaanites that are there which represent
00:07:38.311 --> 00:07:39.912
Are there which represent the enemies that you
00:07:39.979 --> 00:07:41.214
The enemies that you did not drive out
00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:42.048
Did not drive out of the land yet.
00:07:42.114 --> 00:07:44.050
And so god has given you
00:07:44.150 --> 00:07:45.351
And so god has given you an inheritance,
00:07:45.418 --> 00:07:47.620
An inheritance, but to develop in that,
00:07:47.687 --> 00:07:48.454
But to develop in that, it's going
00:07:48.521 --> 00:07:48.821
It's going to take two things,
00:07:48.888 --> 00:07:49.455
To take two things, work and war.
00:07:49.522 --> 00:07:53.626
Work and war. it's gonna take work,
00:07:53.693 --> 00:07:55.695
It's gonna take work, and it's gonna take war.
00:07:55.761 --> 00:07:58.531
And it's gonna take war. i heard an old self-motivation
00:07:58.598 --> 00:08:00.500
I heard an old self-motivation talk parable about a farmer
00:08:00.566 --> 00:08:02.535
Talk parable about a farmer who had a beautiful
00:08:02.602 --> 00:08:03.269
Who had a beautiful piece of property.
00:08:03.336 --> 00:08:04.670
Piece of property. and it was so lush man,
00:08:04.737 --> 00:08:06.739
And it was so lush man, the gardens were just
00:08:06.806 --> 00:08:07.974
The gardens were just beautiful and flourishing
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:09.208
Beautiful and flourishing and the cows were fat,
00:08:09.275 --> 00:08:11.143
And the cows were fat, the white gravel driveway
00:08:11.210 --> 00:08:12.912
The white gravel driveway was lined with the prettiest
00:08:12.979 --> 00:08:14.046
Was lined with the prettiest trees you ever saw.
00:08:14.113 --> 00:08:15.081
Trees you ever saw. and it didn't look
00:08:15.147 --> 00:08:15.815
And it didn't look like a new farm,
00:08:15.882 --> 00:08:16.682
Like a new farm, but it looked like a love farm,
00:08:16.749 --> 00:08:18.784
But it looked like a love farm, a farm that had received
00:08:18.851 --> 00:08:19.952
A farm that had received a lot of attention.
00:08:20.019 --> 00:08:21.921
A lot of attention. and a preacher drove
00:08:21.988 --> 00:08:22.688
And a preacher drove by the farm one day,
00:08:22.755 --> 00:08:23.623
By the farm one day, and he was so absolutely
00:08:23.689 --> 00:08:26.759
And he was so absolutely enchanted with the farm
00:08:26.826 --> 00:08:28.594
Enchanted with the farm that he had to meet the farmer.
00:08:28.661 --> 00:08:30.429
That he had to meet the farmer. and the farmer came over
00:08:30.496 --> 00:08:31.497
And the farmer came over on the tractor
00:08:31.564 --> 00:08:32.431
On the tractor and turned off
00:08:32.498 --> 00:08:33.099
And turned off the tractor for a moment
00:08:33.165 --> 00:08:34.233
The tractor for a moment and said to the preacher,
00:08:34.300 --> 00:08:35.935
And said to the preacher, "can i help you?"
00:08:36.002 --> 00:08:37.370
"can i help you?" and the preacher said,
00:08:37.436 --> 00:08:38.070
And the preacher said, "i was just admiring
00:08:38.137 --> 00:08:38.938
"i was just admiring your property.
00:08:39.005 --> 00:08:39.805
Your property. what a beautiful piece
00:08:39.872 --> 00:08:41.507
What a beautiful piece of property the lord gave you."
00:08:41.574 --> 00:08:44.744
Of property the lord gave you." and the farmer said,
00:08:44.810 --> 00:08:45.678
And the farmer said, "yes it is very beautiful,
00:08:45.745 --> 00:08:47.713
"yes it is very beautiful, and we're grateful,
00:08:47.780 --> 00:08:49.248
And we're grateful, but preacher,
00:08:49.315 --> 00:08:50.850
But preacher, you should have seen
00:08:50.917 --> 00:08:51.651
You should have seen this place when the lord
00:08:51.717 --> 00:08:52.652
This place when the lord had it all to himself."
00:08:52.718 --> 00:08:53.753
[laughter]
00:08:54.353 --> 00:08:58.124
In other words,
00:08:58.724 --> 00:08:59.792
In other words, i worked this thing.
00:08:59.859 --> 00:09:02.728
I worked this thing. in other words, the people
00:09:02.795 --> 00:09:04.330
In other words, the people that you're driving
00:09:04.397 --> 00:09:05.097
That you're driving by and envying their life
00:09:05.164 --> 00:09:09.268
By and envying their life they didn't just
00:09:09.335 --> 00:09:10.169
They didn't just get that marriage,
00:09:10.236 --> 00:09:11.971
Get that marriage, they didn't just get that body,
00:09:12.038 --> 00:09:14.273
They didn't just get that body, they didn't just get
00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:15.474
They didn't just get that financial situation,
00:09:15.541 --> 00:09:17.209
That financial situation, they didn't just
00:09:17.276 --> 00:09:18.311
They didn't just get that influence.
00:09:18.377 --> 00:09:19.946
Get that influence. they were in the field
00:09:20.012 --> 00:09:21.247
They were in the field keeping sheep before goliath
00:09:21.314 --> 00:09:23.215
Keeping sheep before goliath ever showed up.
00:09:23.282 --> 00:09:24.650
Ever showed up. they were developing it.
00:09:24.717 --> 00:09:26.619
They were developing it. and the question is,
00:09:26.686 --> 00:09:28.154
And the question is, are you investing into
00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:30.656
Are you investing into what you inherited
00:09:30.723 --> 00:09:32.058
What you inherited in your life?
00:09:32.124 --> 00:09:33.192
In your life? if it's a gift,
00:09:33.259 --> 00:09:34.560
If it's a gift, are you investing in it?
00:09:34.627 --> 00:09:35.861
Are you investing in it? if it's a relationship,
00:09:35.928 --> 00:09:37.229
If it's a relationship, are you maintaining it
00:09:37.296 --> 00:09:38.664
Are you maintaining it or are you working
00:09:38.731 --> 00:09:40.032
Or are you working with what god gave you,
00:09:40.099 --> 00:09:41.867
With what god gave you, or simply complaining
00:09:41.934 --> 00:09:43.469
Or simply complaining how it's not enough?
00:09:43.536 --> 00:09:44.637
How it's not enough? because i'mma tell you,
00:09:44.704 --> 00:09:45.404
Because i'mma tell you, it is enough.
00:09:45.471 --> 00:09:47.540
It is enough. it is enough,
00:09:47.607 --> 00:09:49.108
It is enough, it just hasn't had
00:09:49.175 --> 00:09:50.009
It just hasn't had the time yet in your life
00:09:50.076 --> 00:09:52.144
The time yet in your life to develop into what
00:09:52.211 --> 00:09:53.346
To develop into what it needs to be.
00:09:53.412 --> 00:09:54.580
It needs to be. so i came to declare
00:09:54.647 --> 00:09:55.881
So i came to declare a message today,
00:09:55.948 --> 00:09:56.983
A message today, it is enough but it is going
00:09:57.049 --> 00:09:59.185
It is enough but it is going to take faith on your part.
00:09:59.251 --> 00:10:01.320
To take faith on your part. god is not simply going
00:10:01.387 --> 00:10:02.922
God is not simply going to drive out every
00:10:02.989 --> 00:10:04.156
To drive out every enemy in your life.
00:10:04.223 --> 00:10:05.725
Enemy in your life. god is not simply going to chop
00:10:05.791 --> 00:10:07.293
God is not simply going to chop down every tree in your life.
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.428
Down every tree in your life. god is not simply going
00:10:09.495 --> 00:10:11.097
God is not simply going to disrupt every bad
00:10:11.163 --> 00:10:12.732
To disrupt every bad habit in your life.
00:10:12.798 --> 00:10:14.000
Habit in your life. we pray for deliverance,
00:10:14.066 --> 00:10:15.568
We pray for deliverance, i believe in deliverance,

I believe in deliverance, but i also believe

But i also believe in support groups.
00:10:18.337 --> 00:10:19.071

That i need more time, the problem is that i need

The problem is that i need more priorities because god
00:10:55.174 --> 00:10:57.643
More priorities because god gave me enough time
00:10:57.710 --> 00:10:59.011

Listen to this, he said, "you have enough."
00:11:08.721 --> 00:11:09.955
He said, "you have enough." doesn't feel like enough.
00:11:10.022 --> 00:11:11.123
Doesn't feel like enough. "you have enough."
00:11:11.190 --> 00:11:11.691

00:15:09.228 --> 00:15:10.229
You hear me?
00:15:10.562 --> 00:15:11.397
You hear me? clear it.
00:15:11.463 --> 00:15:13.232
Clear it. clear it.
00:15:13.299 --> 00:15:13.766
[applause]
00:15:14.133 --> 00:15:18.237
This might be a prophetic
00:15:18.704 --> 00:15:19.338
This might be a prophetic word about your shopping
00:15:19.405 --> 00:15:20.372
Word about your shopping cart on amazon, clear it.
00:15:20.439 --> 00:15:22.174
[laughter]
00:15:22.541 --> 00:15:23.175
You ain't buying none
00:15:23.575 --> 00:15:24.009
You ain't buying none of it this year.
00:15:24.076 --> 00:15:24.910
Of it this year. we're getting out
00:15:24.977 --> 00:15:25.544
We're getting out of debt this year.
00:15:25.611 --> 00:15:26.612
Of debt this year. we're gonna -- okay.
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.317
We're gonna -- okay. lost all the shouts, lj.
00:15:31.383 --> 00:15:33.619
Lost all the shouts, lj. no organ necessary
00:15:33.686 --> 00:15:34.887
No organ necessary on that point.
00:15:34.954 --> 00:15:38.991
On that point. and if you can clear it,
00:15:39.058 --> 00:15:41.660
And if you can clear it, you can conquer it.
00:15:41.727 --> 00:15:42.661
You can conquer it. you remember i said we
00:15:42.728 --> 00:15:43.462
You remember i said we were two years late
00:15:43.529 --> 00:15:45.798
Were two years late getting in this building?
00:15:45.864 --> 00:15:47.466
Getting in this building? one of the reasons that we were
00:15:47.533 --> 00:15:48.834
One of the reasons that we were so far behind getting in
00:15:48.901 --> 00:15:50.436
So far behind getting in on this building was because the
00:15:50.502 --> 00:15:52.471
On this building was because the environmental protection agency
00:15:52.538 --> 00:15:54.873
Environmental protection agency told us that there was
00:15:54.940 --> 00:15:56.675
Told us that there was a possibility that a carolina
00:15:56.742 --> 00:15:59.511
A possibility that a carolina heel splitter clam was
00:15:59.578 --> 00:16:02.247
Heel splitter clam was on the property.
00:16:02.314 --> 00:16:04.116
On the property. and they said that this clam,
00:16:04.183 --> 00:16:06.051
And they said that this clam, or muscle i think it was,
00:16:06.118 --> 00:16:07.920
Or muscle i think it was, but i'm gonna call it a clam
00:16:07.987 --> 00:16:08.887
But i'm gonna call it a clam because it sounds better
00:16:08.954 --> 00:16:10.556
Because it sounds better what i'm trying to say.
00:16:10.622 --> 00:16:12.458
What i'm trying to say. this one little clam kept us
00:16:12.524 --> 00:16:15.094
This one little clam kept us from building this whole
00:16:15.160 --> 00:16:15.928
From building this whole big church.
00:16:15.995 --> 00:16:18.263
Big church. for six months we could
00:16:18.330 --> 00:16:20.366
For six months we could not clear the land because
00:16:20.432 --> 00:16:22.968
Not clear the land because of a clam.
00:16:23.035 --> 00:16:26.472
Of a clam. you realize how many times
00:16:26.538 --> 00:16:28.007
You realize how many times a little thing in your life
00:16:28.073 --> 00:16:29.141
A little thing in your life keeps you from building?
00:16:29.208 --> 00:16:32.478
Keeps you from building? a little thing?
00:16:32.544 --> 00:16:35.180
A little thing? one person you don't
00:16:35.247 --> 00:16:36.281
One person you don't wanna make mad.
00:16:36.348 --> 00:16:38.083
Wanna make mad. one thing you don't wanna
00:16:38.150 --> 00:16:39.184
One thing you don't wanna be judged about.
00:16:39.251 --> 00:16:40.419
Be judged about. one uncomfortable moment you
00:16:40.486 --> 00:16:42.321
One uncomfortable moment you don't wanna push through.
00:16:42.388 --> 00:16:43.455
Don't wanna push through. one phone call you
00:16:43.522 --> 00:16:44.723
One phone call you don't wanna make.
00:16:44.790 --> 00:16:45.424
Don't wanna make. so you're just gonna
00:16:45.491 --> 00:16:46.225
So you're just gonna let dread eat you up
00:16:46.291 --> 00:16:47.426
Let dread eat you up like cancer for six months
00:16:47.493 --> 00:16:50.095
Like cancer for six months because of a clam?
00:16:50.162 --> 00:16:52.164
Because of a clam? the devil doesn't even
00:16:52.231 --> 00:16:52.898
The devil doesn't even really have to put a clam
00:16:52.965 --> 00:16:54.066
Really have to put a clam on your land.
00:16:54.133 --> 00:16:54.967
On your land. he can just tell you there
00:16:55.034 --> 00:16:55.968
He can just tell you there may be a clam,
00:16:56.035 --> 00:16:57.002
May be a clam, they may laugh at you,
00:16:57.069 --> 00:16:58.103
They may laugh at you, it may not work,
00:16:58.170 --> 00:16:59.271
It may not work, you may look stupid,
00:16:59.338 --> 00:17:00.439
You may look stupid, this may backfire,
00:17:00.506 --> 00:17:02.007
This may backfire, your kid may end up,
00:17:02.074 --> 00:17:03.042
Your kid may end up, your mom may --
00:17:03.108 --> 00:17:03.876
Your mom may -- it's not even there,
00:17:03.942 --> 00:17:05.310
It's not even there, but you're not building.
00:17:05.377 --> 00:17:08.147
But you're not building. and so we get to the heart
00:17:08.213 --> 00:17:09.081
And so we get to the heart of the issue at this moment
00:17:09.148 --> 00:17:10.549
Of the issue at this moment in the text where the tribes
00:17:10.616 --> 00:17:12.751
In the text where the tribes of ephraim and manasseh,
00:17:12.818 --> 00:17:15.854
Of ephraim and manasseh, ephraim and manasseh.
00:17:15.921 --> 00:17:18.390
Ephraim and manasseh. let's look at the moment
00:17:18.457 --> 00:17:19.558
Let's look at the moment that these boys were born.
00:17:19.625 --> 00:17:20.726
That these boys were born. now remember, just to be clear,
00:17:20.793 --> 00:17:24.329
Now remember, just to be clear, it's been generations since
00:17:24.396 --> 00:17:27.666
It's been generations since ephraim and manasseh
00:17:27.733 --> 00:17:28.634
Ephraim and manasseh were born to joseph.
00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:30.602
Were born to joseph. so these people
00:17:30.669 --> 00:17:31.470
So these people didn't know joseph,
00:17:31.537 --> 00:17:32.638
Didn't know joseph, they were joseph's
00:17:32.704 --> 00:17:33.639
They were joseph's great, great, great, great,
00:17:33.705 --> 00:17:35.040
Great, great, great, great, great great, great,
00:17:35.107 --> 00:17:36.008
Great great, great, great, grandchildren,
00:17:36.075 --> 00:17:37.076
Great, grandchildren, and ephraim and manasseh
00:17:37.142 --> 00:17:38.077
And ephraim and manasseh were his children.
00:17:38.143 --> 00:17:38.844
Were his children. now look in genesis 41:50.
00:17:38.911 --> 00:17:43.148
It's going back in time to when
00:17:43.248 --> 00:17:45.284
It's going back in time to when joseph was in egypt and he was
00:17:45.350 --> 00:17:47.519
Joseph was in egypt and he was starting to serve
00:17:47.586 --> 00:17:48.620
Starting to serve as an administrator
00:17:48.687 --> 00:17:49.755
As an administrator in pharaoh's palace.
00:17:49.822 --> 00:17:50.722
In pharaoh's palace. the bible says he rode
00:17:50.789 --> 00:17:51.623
The bible says he rode in the second chariot
00:17:51.690 --> 00:17:52.791
In the second chariot in command of pharaoh.
00:17:52.858 --> 00:17:54.626
In command of pharaoh. but it says before the years
00:17:54.693 --> 00:17:55.994
Of famine came,
00:17:56.095 --> 00:17:56.628
Of famine came, after everything joseph
00:17:56.695 --> 00:17:57.596
After everything joseph had been through:
00:17:57.663 --> 00:17:58.697
Had been through: imprisonment, accusation,
00:17:58.764 --> 00:18:00.999
Imprisonment, accusation, abandonment, the people who
00:18:01.066 --> 00:18:04.369
Abandonment, the people who were supposed to remember him
00:18:04.436 --> 00:18:05.771
Were supposed to remember him forgetting him.
00:18:05.838 --> 00:18:07.272
The bible says,
00:18:07.372 --> 00:18:07.906
The bible says, "before the years of famine
00:18:07.973 --> 00:18:09.174
"before the years of famine came, two sons were born
00:18:09.241 --> 00:18:10.809

Daughter of potiphera priest of on.

Priest of on. joseph named his

Firstborn manasseh." manasseh.

Manasseh. "and he said,

"and he said, 'it's because god has made
00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:21.453

Forget, forget, forget. the title of this message

The title of this message is "don't forget where
00:18:31.563 --> 00:18:33.866
You come from."
00:18:33.966 --> 00:18:35.100
You come from." and when joseph had
00:18:35.167 --> 00:18:36.301
And when joseph had his first baby,
00:18:36.368 --> 00:18:37.336
His first baby, after all the suffering,
00:18:37.402 --> 00:18:38.570
After all the suffering, after all the hardship,
00:18:38.637 --> 00:18:39.771
After all the hardship, after all the misdirection,
00:18:39.838 --> 00:18:41.306
After all the misdirection, after all the delay,
00:18:41.373 --> 00:18:42.741
After all the delay, after all of the things
00:18:42.808 --> 00:18:43.942
After all of the things that went wrong in his life
00:18:44.009 --> 00:18:45.344
That went wrong in his life and finally god gave him
00:18:45.410 --> 00:18:46.645
And finally god gave him an opportunity in a child,
00:18:46.712 --> 00:18:48.514
An opportunity in a child, he looked at the child
00:18:48.580 --> 00:18:49.982
He looked at the child and he held the child
00:18:50.048 --> 00:18:51.416
And he held the child in a place that he
00:18:51.483 --> 00:18:52.317
In a place that he never intended to be,
00:18:52.384 --> 00:18:53.685
Never intended to be, in a place that he never
00:18:53.752 --> 00:18:54.887
In a place that he never planned to be in.
00:18:54.953 --> 00:18:55.754
Planned to be in. that may be you right now.
00:18:55.821 --> 00:18:56.755
That may be you right now. i didn't plan to be here,
00:18:56.822 --> 00:18:58.223
I didn't plan to be here, but he looked at the baby
00:18:58.290 --> 00:18:59.591
But he looked at the baby and in deciding what
00:18:59.658 --> 00:19:00.759
And in deciding what to name the baby
00:19:00.826 --> 00:19:01.860
To name the baby he named the baby manasseh,
00:19:01.927 --> 00:19:04.129
He named the baby manasseh, which means to forget.
00:19:04.196 --> 00:19:07.833
He said,
00:19:07.933 --> 00:19:08.400
He said, "i'm naming this baby
00:19:08.467 --> 00:19:09.168
"i'm naming this baby manasseh because god has
00:19:09.234 --> 00:19:11.537
Manasseh because god has made me forget all my
00:19:11.603 --> 00:19:13.405
Made me forget all my trouble and all my
00:19:13.472 --> 00:19:15.274
Trouble and all my father's household."
00:19:15.340 --> 00:19:16.575
Father's household." stop right there.
00:19:16.642 --> 00:19:17.910
Stop right there. he named the baby manasseh,
00:19:17.976 --> 00:19:20.012
Which means forget.
00:19:20.112 --> 00:19:22.347
Which means forget. not because the memory left him,
00:19:22.414 --> 00:19:24.283
Not because the memory left him, of the pain that
00:19:24.349 --> 00:19:24.917
Of the pain that he went through,
00:19:24.983 --> 00:19:25.951
He went through, it's just that in that moment
00:19:26.018 --> 00:19:28.320
It's just that in that moment what god was doing
00:19:28.387 --> 00:19:29.421
What god was doing in his life was so significant
00:19:29.488 --> 00:19:33.325
In his life was so significant that it made what
00:19:33.392 --> 00:19:34.326
That it made what he had been through
00:19:34.393 --> 00:19:35.627
He had been through small in comparison.
00:19:35.694 --> 00:19:38.030
Small in comparison. so he says,
00:19:38.096 --> 00:19:39.398
So he says, "i'm gonna name
00:19:39.464 --> 00:19:40.098
"i'm gonna name this child forget,
00:19:40.165 --> 00:19:41.733
This child forget, not because
00:19:41.800 --> 00:19:42.501
Not because the memory left me,
00:19:42.568 --> 00:19:44.002
The memory left me, but because i'm choosing
00:19:44.069 --> 00:19:45.470
But because i'm choosing to remember it different.
00:19:45.537 --> 00:19:48.540
To remember it different. i'm going to remember
00:19:48.607 --> 00:19:49.841
I'm going to remember it different.
00:19:49.908 --> 00:19:51.410
It different. what i've been through,
00:19:51.476 --> 00:19:52.678
What i've been through, what i suffered from,
00:19:52.744 --> 00:19:54.112
What i suffered from, i no longer see it
00:19:54.179 --> 00:19:55.480
I no longer see it as being sold into slavery,
00:19:55.547 --> 00:19:57.583
As being sold into slavery, i see it as god sending me
00:19:57.649 --> 00:19:59.918
I see it as god sending me here and i am forgetting
00:19:59.985 --> 00:20:01.954
Here and i am forgetting what is behind me so
00:20:02.020 --> 00:20:03.288
What is behind me so i can press toward
00:20:03.355 --> 00:20:05.057
I can press toward what is ahead."
00:20:05.123 --> 00:20:06.358
What is ahead." the name manasseh means forget.
00:20:06.425 --> 00:20:09.728
The name manasseh means forget. how many of you have ever heard
00:20:09.795 --> 00:20:11.396
How many of you have ever heard of something called

Of something called the mandela effect?
00:20:12.264 --> 00:20:14.499
The mandela effect? yeah, have you heard of this?

Yeah, have you heard of this? it's named after nelson mandela,

Of south africa. but it's named because

But it's named because a group of people collectively
00:20:23.041 --> 00:20:24.843
A group of people collectively were documented as remembering
00:20:24.910 --> 00:20:27.246
Were documented as remembering nelson mandela dying
00:20:27.312 --> 00:20:28.647
Nelson mandela dying in the 1980s.
00:20:28.714 --> 00:20:29.681
In the 1980s. so check this out.
00:20:29.748 --> 00:20:30.716
So check this out. a woman did research
00:20:30.782 --> 00:20:32.317
A woman did research and she found out that there
00:20:32.384 --> 00:20:33.352
And she found out that there were large groups of people
00:20:33.418 --> 00:20:34.987
Were large groups of people in the thousands
00:20:35.053 --> 00:20:36.255
In the thousands who remembered nelson mandela
00:20:36.321 --> 00:20:38.890
Dying in prison in the 1980s.
00:20:38.991 --> 00:20:42.094
Dying in prison in the 1980s. the problem with that was he
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:43.528
The problem with that was he didn't die until the year 2013,
00:20:43.595 --> 00:20:47.099
Didn't die until the year 2013, but they remembered
00:20:47.165 --> 00:20:47.866
But they remembered it as if he did.
00:20:47.933 --> 00:20:50.035
It as if he did. they remembered somehow some
00:20:50.102 --> 00:20:51.503
They remembered somehow some fragmented misinformation
00:20:51.570 --> 00:20:53.572
And they remembered
00:20:53.672 --> 00:20:54.606
And they remembered nelson mandela died
00:20:54.673 --> 00:20:55.641
Nelson mandela died in prison in the 80s.
00:20:55.707 --> 00:20:56.942
In prison in the 80s. there were so many people
00:20:57.009 --> 00:20:58.644
There were so many people who remembered that wrong
00:20:58.710 --> 00:21:00.679
Who remembered that wrong that they named an entire
00:21:00.746 --> 00:21:02.381
That they named an entire phenomenon, psychologically,
00:21:02.447 --> 00:21:04.216
Phenomenon, psychologically, "the mandela effect."
00:21:04.283 --> 00:21:06.151
"the mandela effect." and now the phrase
00:21:06.218 --> 00:21:07.586
And now the phrase the mandela effect is used
00:21:07.653 --> 00:21:08.720
The mandela effect is used to describe many things,
00:21:08.787 --> 00:21:10.289
To describe many things, some not as significant
00:21:10.355 --> 00:21:11.690
Some not as significant as the death of a leader.
00:21:11.757 --> 00:21:13.225
As the death of a leader. for instance,
00:21:13.292 --> 00:21:15.060
For instance, how many of you remember
00:21:15.127 --> 00:21:15.861
How many of you remember the line from the movie
00:21:15.927 --> 00:21:17.462
The line from the movie star wars when darth vader
00:21:17.529 --> 00:21:19.731
Star wars when darth vader revealed his real identity?
00:21:19.798 --> 00:21:22.301
Revealed his real identity? what did he say?
00:21:22.367 --> 00:21:24.970
What did he say? what did he say?
00:21:25.037 --> 00:21:26.772
What did he say? now thousands of you remember,
00:21:26.838 --> 00:21:28.607
Now thousands of you remember, "luke, i am your father."
00:21:28.674 --> 00:21:31.376
"luke, i am your father." but if you check the dvd,
00:21:31.443 --> 00:21:33.445
But if you check the dvd, old school,
00:21:33.512 --> 00:21:34.246
Old school, if you check the movie
00:21:34.313 --> 00:21:36.515
If you check the movie he doesn't say,
00:21:36.581 --> 00:21:37.149
He doesn't say, "luke, i am your father."
00:21:37.215 --> 00:21:38.684
"luke, i am your father." he says, "no, i am your father."
00:21:38.750 --> 00:21:40.719
He says, "no, i am your father." that freaked me out
00:21:40.786 --> 00:21:41.586
That freaked me out when i heard that.
00:21:41.653 --> 00:21:42.554
When i heard that. i thought, all these years
00:21:42.621 --> 00:21:43.789
I thought, all these years i thought he said,
00:21:43.855 --> 00:21:44.589
I thought he said, "luke, i am your father."
00:21:44.656 --> 00:21:46.458
"luke, i am your father." he didn't say luke.
00:21:46.525 --> 00:21:47.292
He didn't say luke. he said no.
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:48.026
He said no. how did i remember it so
00:21:48.093 --> 00:21:49.428
How did i remember it so different than
00:21:49.494 --> 00:21:50.429
Different than it actually happened?
00:21:50.495 --> 00:21:51.530
It actually happened? it's the mandela effect.
00:21:51.596 --> 00:21:53.031
It's the mandela effect. or the peanut butter
00:21:53.098 --> 00:21:54.166
Or the peanut butter that starts with the letter j,
00:21:54.232 --> 00:21:54.966
That starts with the letter j, what's it called?
00:21:55.033 --> 00:21:56.168
What's it called? >> congregation: jiffy.
00:21:56.234 --> 00:21:57.035
>> congregation: jiffy. >> no, there's no "y" on it.
00:21:57.102 --> 00:21:58.070
>> no, there's no "y" on it. it's just jif, it's not jiffy.
00:21:58.136 --> 00:22:00.272
It's just jif, it's not jiffy. you remember jiffy don't you?
00:22:00.339 --> 00:22:01.440
You remember jiffy don't you? i remember jiffy, too.
00:22:01.506 --> 00:22:02.607
I remember jiffy, too. i thought it was jiffy.
00:22:02.674 --> 00:22:03.742
I thought it was jiffy. all my life i thought
00:22:03.809 --> 00:22:04.710
All my life i thought it was jiffy.
00:22:04.776 --> 00:22:05.744
It was jiffy. it's not jiffy,
00:22:05.811 --> 00:22:07.079
It's not jiffy, it wasn't jiffy,
00:22:07.145 --> 00:22:07.846
It wasn't jiffy, it never has been jiffy.
00:22:07.913 --> 00:22:09.881
It never has been jiffy. somebody just called it jiffy
00:22:09.948 --> 00:22:11.450
Somebody just called it jiffy like they call it walmart's
00:22:11.516 --> 00:22:13.318
Like they call it walmart's and revelations
00:22:13.385 --> 00:22:15.053
And revelations and we all run around
00:22:15.120 --> 00:22:15.987
And we all run around calling it jiffy,
00:22:16.054 --> 00:22:17.222
Calling it jiffy, but it was never jiffy.
00:22:17.289 --> 00:22:18.757
But it was never jiffy. it's the mandela effect.
00:22:18.824 --> 00:22:20.325
It's the mandela effect. i remember it different
00:22:20.392 --> 00:22:22.027
I remember it different than it actually happened.
00:22:22.094 --> 00:22:23.962
Than it actually happened. i came to preach today
00:22:24.029 --> 00:22:25.330
I came to preach today about the manasseh effect.
00:22:25.397 --> 00:22:26.765
[cheering]
00:22:27.299 --> 00:22:28.333
Now, the manasseh effect
00:22:28.767 --> 00:22:31.503
Now, the manasseh effect is when you've been
00:22:31.570 --> 00:22:32.270
Is when you've been through hell,
00:22:32.337 --> 00:22:33.672
Through hell, and you've gone through
00:22:33.739 --> 00:22:34.606
And you've gone through some trouble,
00:22:34.673 --> 00:22:36.274
Some trouble, and some people have
00:22:36.341 --> 00:22:37.175
And some people have let you down,
00:22:37.242 --> 00:22:38.577
Let you down, and life has put you
00:22:38.643 --> 00:22:40.011
And life has put you in a crowded space,
00:22:40.078 --> 00:22:41.847
In a crowded space, and you feel like not enough,
00:22:41.913 --> 00:22:44.149
And you feel like not enough, and you don't know what's next.
00:22:44.216 --> 00:22:46.852
And you don't know what's next. but you decide in your mind
00:22:46.918 --> 00:22:49.254
But you decide in your mind i'm gonna remember it different,
00:22:49.321 --> 00:22:51.757
I'm gonna remember it different, and rather than focusing
00:22:51.823 --> 00:22:53.759
And rather than focusing on how they forgot me
00:22:53.825 --> 00:22:55.560
On how they forgot me i'm gonna focus on how
00:22:55.627 --> 00:22:57.863
I'm gonna focus on how i have a father who never did,
00:22:57.929 --> 00:23:01.099
I have a father who never did, who never fails,
00:23:01.166 --> 00:23:02.801
Who never fails, who never can.
00:23:02.868 --> 00:23:04.269
[applause]
00:23:04.603 --> 00:23:06.571
>> before we go,
00:23:07.439 --> 00:23:08.006
>> before we go, i wanna invite you
00:23:08.073 --> 00:23:08.974
I wanna invite you to be a part of what god
00:23:09.040 --> 00:23:10.409
To be a part of what god is doing through this ministry.
00:23:10.475 --> 00:23:12.244
Is doing through this ministry. when you give
00:23:12.310 --> 00:23:13.412
When you give to steven furtick ministries,
00:23:13.478 --> 00:23:14.713
To steven furtick ministries, you not only help us get
00:23:14.780 --> 00:23:16.748
You not only help us get the word of god out
00:23:16.815 --> 00:23:17.783
The word of god out through this broadcast,
00:23:17.849 --> 00:23:19.284
But you also help us
00:23:19.384 --> 00:23:20.385
But you also help us partner with organizations
00:23:20.452 --> 00:23:21.520
Partner with organizations that care for children
00:23:21.586 --> 00:23:22.954
That care for children and families in practical ways.
00:23:23.021 --> 00:23:25.791
And families in practical ways. during the summer months
00:23:25.857 --> 00:23:26.958
During the summer months school breaks and holidays
00:23:27.025 --> 00:23:28.894
School breaks and holidays many kids lose consistent
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:30.762
Many kids lose consistent access to meals
00:23:30.829 --> 00:23:32.364
Access to meals and safe environments
00:23:32.431 --> 00:23:33.732
And safe environments and the developmental support
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:35.434
And the developmental support that they would normally
00:23:35.500 --> 00:23:36.301
That they would normally receive through school.
00:23:36.368 --> 00:23:37.903
Receive through school. but through our
00:23:37.969 --> 00:23:38.470
But through our partnership organizations
00:23:38.537 --> 00:23:40.038
Partnership organizations are able to step in
00:23:40.105 --> 00:23:41.673
Are able to step in and help children grow
00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:43.275
And help children grow and thrive when resources would
00:23:43.341 --> 00:23:45.744
And thrive when resources would otherwise maybe be out of reach.
00:23:45.811 --> 00:23:48.547
Otherwise maybe be out of reach. your generosity allows us
00:23:48.613 --> 00:23:50.515
Your generosity allows us to come alongside people
00:23:50.582 --> 00:23:52.317
To come alongside people that are already serving
00:23:52.384 --> 00:23:53.718
That are already serving their communities every day
00:23:53.785 --> 00:23:55.587
Their communities every day and strengthen the work
00:23:55.654 --> 00:23:56.888
And strengthen the work that they're doing
00:23:56.955 --> 00:23:57.689
That they're doing for the next generation.
00:23:57.756 --> 00:23:59.224
For the next generation. it's just one of the ways
00:23:59.291 --> 00:24:00.358
It's just one of the ways that the love of jesus
00:24:00.425 --> 00:24:02.127
That the love of jesus is lived out through
00:24:02.194 --> 00:24:03.528
Is lived out through this ministry meeting

To get god's word into people's hearts.
00:24:08.600 --> 00:24:10.268
Into people's hearts. if you've never

Of the gospel right where they need it.
00:24:29.221 --> 00:24:29.788
>> when a kit is packed
00:24:30.589 --> 00:24:31.490
At elevation church
00:24:31.623 --> 00:24:32.958
It starts small,
00:24:33.091 --> 00:24:34.192
Putting hygiene
00:24:34.326 --> 00:24:34.860
Products together,
00:24:34.993 --> 00:24:35.927
Or packaging ingredients
00:24:36.061 --> 00:24:37.095
For a meal.
00:24:37.229 --> 00:24:38.163
But that's just
00:24:38.296 --> 00:24:39.164
The beginning of the journey.
00:24:39.297 --> 00:24:40.732
Once put together in boxes,
00:24:40.866 --> 00:24:42.367
They travel by train,
00:24:42.501 --> 00:24:43.735
By boat, by truck.
00:24:43.869 --> 00:24:45.370
That kit is being positioned
00:24:45.504 --> 00:24:46.938
For the moment it's needed.
00:24:47.072 --> 00:24:48.473
When disaster happens,
00:24:48.607 --> 00:24:49.908
When hunger rises locally
00:24:50.041 --> 00:24:52.143
And globally,
00:24:52.277 --> 00:24:53.445
That kit is there to provide
00:24:53.578 --> 00:24:54.980
For an immediate need.
00:24:55.113 --> 00:24:56.314
When you give,
