Hi. This is jaw they so much for downloading the podcast. I believe you'll be inspired and challenged. I hope you enjoy the message. God bless you, it's a joy to come into your homes and, if you're ever area, please stop by the part of one of our services. I promise you I will make you feel right at home. I like to start with something funny in one day: Adam said to God: why did you make Eve so beautiful God said so, you would lover. He said: why did you give her such long flowing? Hair God said it and so you would love her too. Oh god, what you give her such a great your god said the same thing, so you would lover. Adam said all right. You made her so beautiful, so attractive why'd you make our so dumb godsend
that's easy Adam, so she would love you and all the Ladys said a man like you mean it. This is my bible. I am since I am here This is all I can do it says I can do today. We talk the word of God. Our boldly confess MA is a more my heart, receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus, nay God bless you. I want to talk to you today about you are fully loaded. When God created you, he put in you everything you need to fulfil your destiny. God is a strategic god. He's not land He didn't just create you and say: let's see what they can do, let's see what happens Goddess precise, he's tension or down to the smallest detail when he laid out the
and for your lie. He carefully studied. He thought about what you would need, what it would take to get you there then he matched to with your world. He gave you the talent, you need the creativity, the strain, you the right size. You have. The right looks the right personality, the right family. You didn't get short changed. You are, fully loaded and completely equipped for the re that's been designed for you now quit wishing you were something different, I had a better personality, then I could do something great. If I came from a different family, If I wasn't so small jaw have a new perspective. If you it is to be taller, God would have made you Tom. If you need, a different personality he would have given you want it needed to be another nationality? You would be. Another nationality. God doesn't make mistakes, you not faulty you a bit
fearfully and wonderfully may. God created the universe when he flung stars into space. He said that was good. When you create Did mountains ocean sunset. He said that was good. When he made animals lions eagles butterflies. He said that was good, but when God, Queen Did you when he saw how magnificent you are? How strong how attractive how talented God look? Did you and said that was very good he didn't say the solar system was very good, He didn't say the rocky mountains were very good, the only time he, Very good is when he created GM food and feed and he called you a masterpiece when the queen of the universe says you are very good. That means you a bad to the bone.
Now, don't go around feeling short changed, Like somehow your lackey you didn't get enough. You can't do what they can do. If you did, get what somebody else has that means you don't need it quick pairing yourselves and run your race be, who God created you to be? You are an original you have something to offer the world that nobody else has. Let you give shall show your talent, your personality, your style. We don't need an imitation, don't need a copy, we need the original you but when we want what, body else. Has we wish
Had their looks their talent, their personality. The truth is, if you had it, it wouldn't be a blessing. It would be a burden. It wasn't designed for you. The reason it works for them is because it fits them. Their walking in their anointing. You are not anointed to be somebody else, as long as you're trying to be like them you'll be frustrated, the anointing on your life is to be who God call Jude the big I'll. Put it in what you have you have the right looks the right talent, the right personality. It means be what somebody else has, but you, running their rights. When my father went to be with the Lord, he had pastured Lakewood for forty years
I had been behind the scenes doing the television production in when he died, I'd only Minister one time, but I knew I was supposed to step up and passed the church, but I thought I needed to be like my dad. After all, people had come to hear him for years and a new that's what they were expecting. The first few months, I've tried to preach like my dad and like my dad, but it was a struggle now had good intentions. I wanted to honour my father, but there's no grey, on your life to be somebody else. One day I read a scripture is says: an ax David fulfilled his purpose for his generation. I heard something down in here schedule: your father fulfilled his purpose. Now quit fun to be like him and go out and fulfil your purpose.
It was like a strong hole was broken in Mamma. I realized I am free to be me. I quit trying to imitate my father and I stepped into my own annoying. That's what the ministry begin to grab the I've learned its it'll. Be me, I don't have to pretend I don't have to perform. Takes all the pressure or I can relax in just be myself when you're comfortable with who you are when you're not trying to impress people you're not trying to be something that you're. Not, then your own uniqueness will come out, you'll be more created, your talent will come out and greater ways. The right people will show up. Why because you ve stepped into the anointing on your life. B, you, you are powerful Windsor, you, here's a key, Nobody can be too at being you, you
can be a better you than any body in the world you haven't, image you been anointed to be when our minister a more conversational, I don't get real LAO really excited, but growing I used to think to be an effective minister, you had to be allowed and forceful and dynamic, and I have minister prince that are that way and they are very powerful, that's who they are learned when you are who you are, you can be quiet and be powerful. You can be small and the powerful you can be behind the scenes. Envy powerful the whole key is to be you because when you are you? U activate you're anointing, there's a favour, a blessing, a grace that is unique to your left But too often, when we see someone, this more talented wars
cesspool more blast, there's a tendency to be India's and think what can I do that I won't what they have, if we're not careful before long will be competing with them, trying to outperformed in out dressed them out, drive them out work them. Problem is you're competing with someone. That's not in your race, Your raise is specifically for you, you're, not in competition with your friends, your neighbors, you co workers, you're sick things that only competition you have is with yourselves to be. The best that you can be I realize I can't reach like Bishop Jake's I can't sing like Steve Crawford. I cant do surgery like my brother Paul, but I can encourage somewhat
I can inspire a few people smile, I'm good at that. Go, get distracted, trying to keep up with someone you were never supposed to keep up with. When you understand you are fully loaded for the race, this in design for you, instead of competing with people, you'll celebrate them rod attitude is. They may have something that I don't, but that's ok I'm not running their race, I'm equipped for my destiny This is why King Saul lost the throne. When he's all David, rising higher than him gaining more influence. Stella celebrating David. He became jealous people started seeing saw has defeated. Thousands he was happy. People are celebrating me, I've done something great
but then the song continued and David has defeated. Tens of thousands saw couldn't handle any body in front of him. He didn't realize they weren't in the same rice. He wasn't competing with David if he would have been happy for him. He wouldn't have missed his destiny. When we start competing with people, we get there, wrapped in we lose focus before long. We're wasting time on things that are moving us toward our purpose. I heard a quote: successful people are so cost on their own goals? They don't have time the look around to see what everybody else is doing run your race and when somebody passage you don't intimidated, be inspire. If God did it for them, he could do it for you. But if you can't celebrate people that are for,
or along the new, then you'll never get to where they are. You have to pass the test, a being happy for people that have passed you, because there will be the tendency to be judged. Let us start funding for being critical where they don't deserve it, they're, not that town did any way. Let me tell you some bad things I heard about them. Don't fall into that, God showing dim favour, doesn't mean not going to show you favour, be happy for them. When you see someone that's blast, their rising higher is easy. They were. They just had a lot of good bright's. What you mean not realise. Is that favour? on their alive, didn't come without paying the promotion
didn't come without struggles without them fighting off discouraging without the impressing forward when they felt like giving you don't know what it took for them to get where they are. Sometimes we come in at the inn. The movie. We see everything workin out, they're, happy blessed successful. What we didn't see was the middle. The tea the lonely nights. The struggles be big enough to celebrate what cards doing in their life. Don't be us all, don't miss your destiny, because your sour that somebody pass to theirs access is not stopping what God wants to do in your life God didn't use up all of his favour on then it's a test. Are you going to compete with them spend all your energy trying to keep up or
going to celebrate what God is done, you can tell who your true friends are not by who comes when you fall. When you make a mess, people will feel sorry they show up to help here. Your true friends are the ones. Show up when you succeed, they celebrate when you're promoting their happy. When God bless you there half of India. When you move into that new house, you ve heard the saying it's lonely at the top is because does not. Everybody can handle your success too often, people get envious, jealous critical, less pass this test. When somebody passage you give them a half hour, and keep running your rights, not look to the left. Nor to the right he being who guardsman due to be one time without running through my neighborhood. I saw this man in front. About a quarter of a mile and he was running too. I thought I'm gonna catch him
I had about a mild ago before I needed a turn off and go down my path. I picked up the pace. Started gaining on him gaining on him and I was feeling better look. What I'm doing getting closer and closer and apparently passed him up, a b. He did know we're race in, but I feel good about it about that. I realized I was so focused on catching him amiss my turn, I had to turn around and go back about six love, I was supposed to turn that's what happens when we start competing with people. It's structure, we're running in a race we're not supposed to be in competing with people that many times don't even know it. If that man knew we were racing I'd, probably are we trying to catch you? He would have sped up, don't get distracted run your rice in the scripture, John, the Baptist was baptized,
people in gaining a lot of attention. One point the who is leaders came and wondered if he was the Christ without missing a bee. John said I am not the Messiah important to know not only who you are but to know who you're, not if you don't know that you can spend your life trying to be something that you're, not John no problem say, and I am not the Messiah. He was saying I don't have to be the Messiah to feel good about myself. I'm content with who God made me to be if you're trying to be something you're, not you'll, be frustrated. There's no graceful, it'll be a constant struggle, always like it's
He'll, if saw, would have understood this. He could have kept the throne if he would have accepted. I am not David he's defeated tens of thousands he's done great things. I've defeated a thousand God. You bless me. It would have been a different story, most of the time, we're happy until we start comparing when Sol heard the numbers David. Tens of thousands. I can imagine him asking someone. How many did they say? David has defeated when they answered. Tens of thousands solves whole perspective changed He was no longer content with his success. Now he was envious jealous he. Basically in the rest of his life. Trying to be David we had to do was realized. I am not David, God has blessed him in a different way we have to.
Stand the sovereignty of God may not seem fair to us, doesn't always make sense, but gods ways are not our wings. The scripture talks. How God is given to every person, different gifts, different talents according to our own ability? Everyone doesn't get the same, but what he gave you is what you need to fulfil your desk. Whether you're us saw and you can defeat a thousand or Euro David, and you can defeat ten thousand The right attitude. Is I'm going to take what God given me and make the most of it? Don't compete. Dont, compare just run your rice, in the parable Jesus told of the talents the owner gave, one man, one talent, another man to talents and another man, five talents it seems like if God was fair, he would have given them all the same number but go
is sovereign. He may give you five talents and give me two talents he's gone. I can complain about the to try to compete with you outperform you, but that does change. The fact that you still have- and I still have to a better approach- is to say God: I recognize you are sovereign and before you gave me these two talents- I Didn'T- have any so what Debt, are complaining about. The two and competing with the five m will take these two talents in the best that can be it takes a mature person to recognise what you're not no one. What you're not we'll help you stay focused on becoming? Who you are? because there will always be pressures to be this to be that to be the other, everyone will have opinions about. You
but down in your heart. You know who you are you can't let the outside pressures and other people squeeze you into becoming something that you're not when I first started ministering I was young and didn't have much experience and I had a lot of people giving the opinions. They told me how to lead the Turks, how to minister what I should speak on, and sometimes it wasn't what they said. Just what they infer. I could feel the pressure to be who they wanted me to be and they were good people, but people didn't breathe life into you. People did lay out your plan, interprets people didn't, put gifts and Islands on the inside now was ways respectful, but I was far allotted their advice. When I heard it, I knew it wasn't what God put in my heart, I had to be bold and say I am not that I am
that. I am not that this is who I know you have to be strong. It's your destiny? When you come to me end of lie: you're not going to answer the people you're going to answer the gun people may mean well, they made love you, but if it does, it bear witness in your spirit. You have to be built old and say, like John. That is not who I am now here's a key. You don't have to have a great gift, forgot to use you in a great way. You know what took David to the throne wasn't his leadership, his ability to write music. His personal, that is what promoted David. Was his gun upswing in Iraq. He was good with the slingshot out in the shepherds, feels he had spent hours practising as a teenager. While he was taking care of his father, she
You gotta, thank God. Why don't you give me an impressive gift? What did you just give me one talent, I'm an expert with slingshot big deal. That's never going to take me any place, but if you'll be faithful with the gift you, if you will develop bit grow, learn get better. That give will open doors to places you ve, never dream. Don't discount your gift, it may, Smaller you compared to others, it feels insignificant. But there is nothing ordinary about you. You have the fingerprints of God all over. You, God made you in his own image. He crowned you with favor. You have rule your blood flow into your veins, don't believe those last there's nothing special about you, you're! Not as talented is your brother. You dont have a big personality.
Like your friend, you don't have the design skills like your co worker, maybe not, but you do have a slingshot there's, something God has given you. Slingshot may seem ordinary, but when God, he's on it. The European, a twice your size. You promoting beyond your talent. Your gulf This is where you didn't have the experience you weren't, next in line, but suddenly the door open, son, the compact centre is yours. Suddenly people are celebrating you, but too often we look at others. Think about how great they are. We put them on a pedestal, but God has put greatness in you he's given you. Creativity dreams. He created you to leave
If your mark on this generation you're not supposed to live and die, and nobody knew you were here- there is something significant about you, some then that will cause you to stand down we're years from now. People will look back and say you made the world a better place, stir up those gifts, stir up that thing, don't get caught up in celebrating others that you don't recognize, there's something in you to be celebrated. Jeremiah said you word o Lord is like far shut up in my bones. There is something shut up in you, something big it's about to be released, dreams, book, movies inventions, businesses, ministries, potential that haven't tapped into and talons that you didn't know where their you
haven't seen them yet because it hasn't been the right time. But your season is coming the good bright, the promotion, the opportunity it on the way. Now don't be surprised. If there's opposition, that promotion may be disguised as Goliath. That giant looks like it's there to stop you, but it's a set up going to thrust due to a new level. You're going to discover what slingshot was all about. It was a test. You proved your faithfulness, you did the right thing when nobody was watching. You kept a good attitude when it wasn't there, you celebrated others. When you could have been jealous now your time is coming what's been shut up in your spirit is about to be released, its be bigger more
warning more fulfilling than you ever imagine it's not going to come through your neighbor through your cousin through your boss. Through your pastor, it's going to come through you, it's your baby! It's your time to be celebrating. This is happen in the scripture with Sarah she and her husband, Abraham were very old. Sarah had been here and her whole life and not able to have children but in Genesis seventeen God said to Abraham: we'll give Sarah a son, she be the mother of nations. Kings of people will come out of her. Every circumstance said it was impossible. She was out in the desert. No four Hildy treatments, no medical procedures, eighty years old, yet God said you have kings in you. Nations in you. He was saying Sarah. What I put in you is more than you can imagine
God is saying the same thing to you. There are key, sinew. There is Listen you it's much bigger than you think don't, let's I'm is talk out. You may not see how it could work out. God has ways to do it that you ve never thought one touch of God's favor, Put you to the next level, When Sarah heard this it was so unbelievable. She laughed she said, may have a baby. I don't think so. She loved the idea. But since she was so old, she thought the baby would have to come through somebody else. So she tried to help garden. She had Abraham sleep with her maid and they had a son. She was so excited God you did what you said said SARA. That is not the promise child I did,
put the promise in somebody else. I put the promise in you nine years old, All she became pregnant and gave birth to a son named eyes, What God put in you he's still going to bring to pass. You are pregnant with destiny. You are pregnant, with greatness, it's not going to come to others you're, going to show you going to excel you're, going to be promoted, you're going to be celebrated fringe. You are fully loaded, you nodded a deficit, you not lacking you're Fulla potential. Fuller, like Sarah, you may have been baron for a long time. You don't see how it can happen, get ready. This is a new day. Things are changing in your favour. I believe and declare what's been shut up in your spirit, is being released, dreams are being released. Potential promotion, Healy,
